EVE General Discussion

I love it when people post things like this as it shows the do not pvp in this game.

I own a billion isk megathron for pvp and my most expensive mega plan is worth over a trillion.

Been thinking...it seems that alot of people presume that new players are to stupid to figure things out for themselves, and therefor eat up everything people tell them without being critical...is this really how you look at new eve players?

And when were you a new player, again?

And who's your main (hmmm, Salvage V seems good now...)?

I agree with the OP, somewhat. I would've stopped playing Eve from boredom if not because of a friend of mine ingame told me to try out living in lowsec for a few days. Best decision I've had and what keeps me playing this awful game.

I do however, disagree with some points. Not doing pvp doesn't mean someone is a carebear, that's a stupid logical deduction. Actively PVP-ing (as in shooting other player ships) is a choice, it's not forced to anyone and it's not supposed to cater to everyone's taste. A carebear is someone who's not only risk-averse, but completely ignores and rejects the fact that while they can do anything they want, Eve is still a PVP game and everyone is always at risk at getting blown up by the time they hit that undock button. Whether they do PVP or not at all, is hardly relevant.

If I did you'll probably **** in your pants.



Thread title doesn't take rocket science to figure it out.

Mouthbreathers...sigh.

EVE will die if people keep perpetuating falsehoods about the game so that people who actually want to play never learn about it beyond the protective sphere they happen to fall into when they're still green behind the ears.

We're allowed our own opinion.
So long as it's the opinion the OP has told us we are supposed to have.

This is just another "Your playing it wrong if your not playing the game MY WAY thread."
ie. Inane, Banal, Trite & Tedious.







[edit]
Just a FYI
I've introduced a few people to the game.

Some missioned
Some worm-holed
Some mined
Some PvP'ed

They all quit after 6-9 months, even the ones who joined a PVP corp.
When I asked them why they'd stopped playing, I got just 1 answer.





Have a guess at what that answer was ....

Only read the first couple of pages of this thread (not the full 13...) but I don't see why people are whining about what the OP said. I think it's a fair comment - highsec is overwhelmingly stuffed with industrialists, miners and mission runners, which is fine, I'm not having a go at those types of players, and I dont think OP was either, but it means when new players start that's the type of player they're mostly surrounded with, and most likely to fall in with. For some new players this is fine, they'll get into that kind of gameplay too, but that, as well as the tutorials, give a very skewed impression of EVE.

And why?

If you're a researcher/inventor with 100bil worth of researched BPOs, do you think you'll just cart them down to nullsec?

Naw, you're in high-sec to secure that investment and copying beyond belief in those 100000000001 POSes.

It's about Risk vs Reward...no reward losing some very pricey BPOs.
