Sounds like a crappy Korean MMO. I agree cap boosters reek of mana potions and shouldn't be in the game.

What about cap warfare like neuts and transfers?

ITT: People compare MMO's and get shocked at the similarities.

It's not the mechanics that make it unique it's the setting and the sandbox. Not that most people know what the sandbox means.

I've been playing EVE for just over half a year. I've played my share of MMOs and I've never met a more hostile player base than EVE's. Mostly it's all this 'give me your tears' ****. But whatever. I'm a bastard, and EVE is a game for bastards trying to be the biggest bastard. I'm fine with that.

The OP's point is that EVE isn't special, you aren't special, and you should quit now and give me your stuff. You damn space ship flying loser. "The sandbox" that EVE touts is bullshit. It's just as much a sandbox as any other MMO out there, which is to say you can do anything you want, within the mechanics of the game. EVE just has a larger than usual number of assholes trying to get everyone else to play 'the sandbox' the way said assholes want.

The ONLY difference is that the damned skill training system is a unique way to suck up subscription monies. I mean, it's a unique way to force people to have multiple accounts to be effective. I mean, it's a unique way to offer legitimatized real world money trading through PLEX to run multiple accounts by using in game money. I mean, it's a unique way for 'vets' to rub their balls in new players faces and ***** about "instant gratification" and "have your cake and eat it to" bullshit. EVE players love this ****. Like I said, I'm fine with it. But let's call it what it is.

The hate is strong in this one. He shall be a good bitter vet one day.

To OP: Of course EVE uses similar mechanics like other MMOs. It's not the wheel reinvented. Congratulations for finding this out.

Regarding you mana example: Cap boosters take a lot of space, more than your average MMOs mana potions, I'd assume. So it's not really just "who brings more of them", because the amount you can bring is very limited. It's also not guaranteed that the one with the most cap boosters wins the fight. There are a lot more things to consider.

So if EVE is WoW afterall, does that mean we'll be getting mounts too?

PONIES!!

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

I want a pony with chrome wheels, personalized paint job and at least 3k Watts sound.

I actually would just like some EvE tatoos for my new toy.

This games needs more D20. Just for the fumble.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

seeing as you are off to a good start, i give you another three months till you go full blown *******. just know this, once you go vet, you don't go back. you will hate everything, and everyone, specially newbies from other MMOs, and above all, you will hate wow refugees.

eventually you will find other assholes who will hate the same things you do, and you will join them in the joyful act of making everyone else play "the sandbox" the way you want. you will ask for other peoples stuff, bacon, and their delightful tears. you will claim the game is not like it used to, even when you weren't there to begin with, and you will make a weekly stealth "nerf highsec" thread.

guaranteed.
