This is somewhat a repost from here:
http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=1042995

In general, the consensus to that post was "get over it, learn the Eve way". This is a frustration and turnoff for new users.

For mousewheel zoom, Eve is reversed from most games. While it is possible for a user to relearn the controls for eve, it's a frustration for those users who play other games than Eve, and constantly find themselves zooming the wrong direction. This seems like one of those 10,000 papercuts issues--it should be relatively simple to just invert the control and add an option to do so.

For pan vs rotate view, the left & right mouse buttons are swapped. Many games handle rotate view with right mouse button, and pan view with left. It would also be nice to have an option to flip these mouse buttons.

I wouldn't mind it as an option though.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia
