EVE General Discussion

Everyone says EVE is fun and challenging and so I wanted to try it 4 years ago, and it was fun but even then I realised something profound, EVE is immense. The sheer scoipe of how large it is is mind staggering. and therein lies the problem.
For someone coming into EVE as new there is very little "newbi zones" etc, it is more like your thrown into the pool of sharks and you got to fend for yourself and this is somewhat of a problem... Here are some questions and problems I have..,.

1. what skills to gain, some skills sounds cool and they SEEM to be something a person needs to gain and then its just rubbish, and since there (seems to be) is countless of skills and plans to get into in order to advance.... if a new person sat down and throught about the amount of planning and such it takes to get anywhere in EVE they would probably quit. That is not new player friendly. What to do about it? I got no clue what is possible to do. However I would say create a PvE environment where people can learn, guide them to a good way of learning skills augmentations etc so they have a better than rudementary idea of the skills when they go "out" into the "real" world.

2. "endgame" as in a new person coming into EVE can not see the end game but they need to be aware of what they should want at the end game so they do not get 10 skills over there,. 15 skills over there and it is con coherent, make the new person aware that they need to truly sit down and plan their gameplay.

3. make missions matter.... really yeah this... make missions matter, drive the "storyline" of some would call it onwards, there are NPC driven corps that can thrive with a npc driven "storyline" and by the time the gamer is tired of the npc based game, they are ready to assume their role in the "real world" and they understand missions and such much better than what I experience from the way it is presented to me.

4. understanding areas and such.... low sec, high sec, all that matters to a person and it would be good if in the tutorials it truly covers those parts because I seen new persons (I am a noob myself) go into low sec and endager their lives just to get past them to buy something from the marketplace at some remote place. make people understand, tutorial etc what it truly means.

5. make it understandable for the new persons. thats the key point right there. let the new person understand what it is really all about, and if a person is satisified with doing their PvE I think they should be given the oportunity to do so, but then the rewards would be limited to the boundaries of the PvE, if a person truly want to make a big buck, or make that big kill etc, then let them sign EVE version of the book of blood, signing that they understand that once they step outside, they are free to kill and anyone at any time can do so.

Make it a lot more user friendly because the amounbt of facts and figures and charts etc it is to be honest to much to grasp and rather than enjoy the game, I spend to much time worrying if I train the right thing at the right time and thats not enjoying the game at all.

Thank you for your time.
