guess it comes down to your gaming style, if you like click and shoot games with no consequences and instant satisfaction then eve is not for you.

If you like the possiblity of losing all your **** because of a **** up or someone backstabbing you ingame and like to put in tons of effort where effort doesn't have to be continuum but can be spread over days, weeks, years then eve is for you

Eveonline is for adults who have patiance, none of these wow clone games that give the instant satisfaction where you die and not lose anything but a broken weapon... to get you instantly back into thefight..

You die in eve you **** is gone, the player whole killed you either has it or it has been destroyed kids dont like that, they cry when **** like that happens.

There's so much wrong with that dismissal of the rest of the gaming community that I don't even know where to begin. You've literally just compared anyone who doesn't want to play EvE with a screaming prepubescent on XboX live. Again, Proscenes, competitive play, mod scenes, multiplayer, speedrunning, TAS, etc. There really are so many ways to enjoy games without making them essentially space Objectivism.

Congrats on trolling other players.

Good to get it out of your system over there, since ISD probably aren't able to monitor those trolls, with the technology they currently have.

I never understood why people think Eve's harshness makes it innately superior. It just attracts a different mindset. I happen to like both careful planning and instant gratification. This is why I play more than one game. I play more than one MMO. I don't consider one better than the other. Just different. Like people! Now I am going to go save Clementine from zombies some more.

Impressive, seeing such an impassioned case for EVE being made by a guy who routinely announced he was quitting EVE forever. Smile

Some people just like to play with pandas and wizards.

I like to play with space ships. (un)fortunately Eve is the best one atm.

While I agree EVE has a lot more mature feel and need to understand I don't think that makes it a better game.
Honestly one game can never really be BETTER than another because it comes down to each individuals personal view on what makes a better game.

You just need to look on these forums and read the current threads about how to fix Hi/Low/Null Sec space to see that even within this game every one has different views on what makes a game better.

Telling other gamers you're better than them because your game is harder is pretty lame. I don't know if that was your intent but honestly, if someone doesn't like how hard EVE is that's fine! There are other games on the market that might suit them better.

You still need space priests or you're doomed Blink (logis)


But yeah you don't get any decent blood DK tanking sanctums in this game anyway, you have to switch between Ice and Fire with your wizard and whenever you're not expecting company the stupid rogue comes out of no where and gank your purplez !

Watch out graveyard camping (gate camping)


Indeed, Eve is very special and unique (but for none of the reasons told in this thread)

Hey Nicky!
You've been around all night and that's a little long
You think you've got the right but I think you've got it wrong
Why can't you say goodnight so you can fetch a bone, Nicky

'Cause when you say you will, it always means you won't
You're givin' me the chills, baby, please baby don't
Every night you still leave me all alone, Nicky

Oh Nicky, what a pity you don't understand
You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand
Oh Nicky, you're so pretty, can't you understand
It's guys like you Nicky
Oh, what you do Nicky, do Nicky
Don't break my game, Nicky

I so agree to this (and NOT to the OP).

When i want a game with planning and open sandbox playstyle (mostly involving industry or such) I play EVE.

When i want PVP, i play Battlefield 3 usually, and some EVE.

When i want PVE, i play any other MMO out there basically (as EVE missions are boring)

When i want an engaging story i play all the host of good story driven RPGs out there.

Eve isnt better than other games (MMO or not), its DIFFERENT.

One of the reasons that it is not better is actually the players like the asshat OP that think they win at life somehow because they play PVP in EVE..

oh, look it's that silly EVE vs WoW argument again.

4/11 raiders in my WoW guild have played EVE (and none of them for less than a year) and half the people I meet in EVE seem to have played WoW at some point.

clearly the two games have nothing in common and attract entirely different audiences.

Only atm??? I personally cant see how any new "space ship" game could top the diversity that eve has to offer....but then you never know whats around the cormer i guess Roll

Ever play marbles as a kid? Were you the type who played for keepsies? If so, eve is for you. If not, WOW you go.


Fun in eve comes from RISK. You spent 3 months earning that ship and all its precious fittings. you now take it into 0.0 space and put 3 months of hard work on the line. The adrenaline, the excitement, the worry and triumph...

Full gear respawn WOW style cant hold a candle to EVE. What the **** is the point en playing WOW even? just to collect the best armors so you can sit around the middle of town showing off how cool you look? THRILLING!

The OP is on point, but the replies after it are a great example of what is wrong with some (too many) EVE players IMO.

If you don't think EVE is superior to other games, why play EVE, why not play other games all the time, or are you guys masochists who like wasting your own time on things you don't find optimally entertaining? Doesn't make much sense to me.
