A Veteran could be a 2 days old player.

What matters to be Veteran is to have learned that what for everybody else is a problem, to you it may be an opportunity. Sometimes the opportunity.

While they'll sulk and cry in a corner, the Veteran will adapt and overcome and then actually use the situation at his advantage.


very true

every change is an oppertunity, the question is just spotting it :)

I would not consider anyone (including myself) as a Veteran simply because the definition is too broad. However if you mean experienced then sure I can agree. No one is above reproach or learning in this game and if you think you are, will pay for it in one way or another.

For me the mark of a Veteran is having a screen shot of the jetcan you just dropped "Tagging" Eve Gate with "Diablo Was Here".

You're a "vet" when you no longer pay real money to sub your accounts.

ISK is ISK, strictly speaking, but when you have enough -- acquired by whatever means that tickles your fancy -- then you've achieved a certain essential grasp of the opportunities that EVE offers AND how to use them to your advantage.

Beats the Hell out of paying real coin. Blink
