People become veterans when they become jaded, angry, and tell "back in my day" stories. Things are only impossible until they are not. |

At the point when you realize, fundamentally, that this is not a game of grind or NPCs... but rather one where you defeat other players to get ahead and cut your teeth, you're a vet in my book. That simple realization is all it takes. You might figure that out in 3 months.... or it may take years. When you realize that you're a real player and vet in my book.
Nobody gets rich with their stupid spreadsheet.
You get rich and start getting ahead when you start taking it from other players.
That's it.

Mmmm i'd rather go for '' people who played before we had T2 , or before mining barges , before warp to 0 , before stacking penalty or or ...
We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

Easy - however there are two answers here
So in Eve, when you can fly 95% of all craft in various permutations and don't miss the bacon
On the forums, when you have been:
Visited by Chribba at least once (in post) Been berated by Tippia 30 times Remember who Ginger magician was and ragequit twice.
I am aware of my own ignorance and have checked my emotional quotient - thanks for asking |

That's a really hard call and extremely subjective. Personally, I'd say anyone 2006 or older, as anyone who was around back then will be able to share my definition of small gang PvP (i.e. small gang is "2-5 ships", not "20"), since it was around 2007 when EVE's population began massively expanding, and quantity became the meta of choice, replacing quality. See: old school Burn Eden for an example of how it used to work.

Your second point is so true and so obnoxious.
Vote for me in the next CSM Elections. I will fight for the interest of all Hi-sec dwellers. No longer will you be cast aside and disparaged. |

You are a veteran when:
- you have seen the majority of your friends quit EVE
- the rant of noobs makes you angry
- you have stopped tanking damage, because you have lost patience for it
- your next forum ban is going to be a permanent one
Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling. |
