Also explains a lot of the core concepts of the game. I think CCP really needs to explain the whole standing thing so players do screw them selves out of certain factions spaces.....
Missions are spectacularly bad at establishing any basics or explaining core concepts. There is a huge gap between real EVE mechanics, and the scripted Empire NPC AI grind. Mission walk-throughs are the final nail in the coffin, ruining even the slightest chance of surprise.
Repetitive missions shouldn't be in this persistent, single-shard universe in the first place. In their current form, they are detached from the rest of the sandbox, and only promote botting or bot-like playing, bad fits and GD whines.
Most importantly new players should be protected from the terrible idea of missioning-career. I would be happy to see the missions removed from the game, or completely revamped to be one-time storylines with improved NPC AI and realistic mechanics.

I can appreciate the fact that you like to grind, that's a valid argument. But that there needs to be a (semi) afk activity and that hisec should have a risk-free version of belt ratting are really terrible arguments.
Plexing exists also in hisec.

Ok, I get you now, and that makes sense. Gallente - the choice of the interstellar gentleman |
