No, this is a mail to newbies. Newbies, normally, will not know about the massive options and choices they have. They'll be used to WOW, LOTRO, SWTOR etc where grinding is pretty much the only there is to do. Specifically stating "well, go left for grinding missions, turn right for grinding mining. Both for the glory of isk, this is how we play EVE" is bad.

I'm not saying that they shouldn't been given easy to handle early on options, but you can't point at two (terrible) options without at least mentioning they're just that; options.


I'll stop feeding the troll now.

I do not like the men on this spaceship. They are uncouth and fail to appreciate my better qualities. I have something of value to contribute to this mission if only they would realize it. - Bill Frug
