EVE General Discussion

EVE is the best MMO out there. It may not be perfect but... You just have to go and try another MMO. I know that I will always come back. There's no other company like CCP and no other game so deep and so complete as EVE is.

There's probably a reason, I guess the harder is to admit it

I haven't really played any of the other major MMOs, computer games aren't really that interesting to me generally. I played a minor browser based MMO for a year or so before finally joining EVE, I visited the WoW website once, saw the bright colours and felt a bit nauseous and have never been back.

EVE is about the only computer game that's really kept my attention for very long, I like the fact that it takes time to develop a character and other aspects of your game play and after playing those other minor MMOs I hate grinding for skills so the time based skill training allows me to just get on with other parts of the game.

The real thing I like about this game though, something that perhaps I felt other games don't offer, is that it not only makes you think on an intellectual level but on a more common sense and street smarts level. You also have to be the sort of person that can accept you made a mistake and take responsibility for that. This is something you see less of these days in both real life and games in general.

People playing one mmo bashing other mmo's? INCONCEIVABLE!

All of this^

That is something which quick-make-me-powerful hack and slash MMO players cannot grasp.
EVE is not instant gratification and this is not the playstyle that your friends like, Op.

Most of the comments have been quite constructive, No I don’t play WOW would never and will never, I like ships, cars, spaceships, the new MMO that I just started use ROBOTS!, and most of what I have seen it’s almost exactly like Eve, CCP knows which MMO game it is.
It’s good that most of you can list aspects of the game that doesn’t just include ganking or slagging off me; but all the ****you crap, will be playing another MMO in a year or so, the problem is there’s a lot of people here, carebears, gankers, large alliances, and you hate each other, why I don’t know, but what happens when you have learned every skill, flown every ship, fought in every battle that eve has to offer; you have all the wealth you need, all the ships you need, won your battles, what then? I think Goonswarm is going after the ultimate carebear corporation CCP, and they want to gank their arses, when I complete a game either pc, ps3, xbox360, I don’t usually play them again and even though Eve creates new ideas and chapters, there’s still no new skill books to learn or very rarely new ships to fly, most people can do the ultimate DPS, so inflicting that DPS on a carebear can seem to be the only answer, not something I do my self but I can see why they want too.
To all those who posted thought out comments, because there has been a few, then all respect to you.

Exactly,

I used to think that too but in truth EVE made me lazy. Most other MMO's expect me to actually play for three months or so to level up a character and I'm just too lazy to do it.

The joke is "tears". The inference is "babies cry." The insinuation is "if I claim you're crying, I dominate you." If I did offer you a glass full of iced tears, and said, "Go ahead, drink up," I'm SURE the tear drinkers would jump at the chance. Well, I could provide a barf bag as an added incentive. You know, if the average age of EVE players was 12, that might work. As it stands, it just makes you look ridiculous - moar tears. Save us all a lot of effort and just have "I'm stupid" tatooed across your foreheads.

...or a life. That's pretty much why I've decided this time around to stay out of null, I really don't want to dedicate the majority of my free time to the success of a digital empire.
