EVE General Discussion

Play a different game.

Basically, EVE is a great game if you're already invested in it, and really stinks when you're just starting off. So you have a bunch of people who have already carved out friends and connections and market niches or whatever telling you to do this or that to get ISK, but you shouldn't even want ISK. You want fun. And EVE does not provide fun for new players. You can probably go find it if you want, but why bother when there are a whole bunch of cheaper, better games out there that offer a better experience and hand you fun?

I paid $30 for 3 months of this game and quit after 1 because it's not for me. I like fake-money-making but there are better fake-money-making games out there. There's a game out there that resets EVERY MONTH so that everyone can compete from the same level. Serious.

There's a game out there that you can speed up time in, so that research that takes 2 weeks... well, you get it in a minute, so you're not wasting your time.

There's a game out there where you can fight a battle as soon as you sign on, without having to go look for it, against other players.

Not many games mix those together into a player-run economy with spaceship fights. But I never feel like making money and spaceship fighting. I either feel like making money OR spaceship fighting. So EVE basically sucks for me, because it looks like it provides all I could ever want in a game, but really it provides half-assed versions of what I want in a game that wastes my time. So I'm moving on.

Basically, I noticed that, playing another game, I could play as a ruler, but in EVE, all I can play as is a peasant. And that's not really fun.

Good luck. Hope you enjoy yourself with your game time, whatever you decide to do. EVE can be fun. Other games can be fun.

Wow

Bitter much?
