Refusing to agree with an opinion about a problem (that you actually do agree with), just because of the person voicing it makes you worse than someone who disagrees for honest reasons. You are helping to block what you want to see done out of petty spite. it doesn't help your cause.

Petty spite is the motive behind most of EVE activity. It doesn't help EVE either but I don't see how CCP can nerf spite. |

I would actually suggest restricting them from joining a corp for the first month, since early on, they don't know WTF they are doing and could use the experience of a large pool of players (of many different stripes) to get their bearings in the game.
Many of you may not like to hear it, but everyone needs help, needs someone to have mercy on them and compassion for them. You were not born into the world able to stand on your own two feet. It takes a human a year or more just to learn very basic communication and mobility. Even 10 years into their life, people are essentially helpless. EVE may not be as complicated as that, but the analogy is very appropriate. (I should know; I have seen both.)
In EVE, we have no mother or father. We have no big brother or sister to nurture and protect us while we figure things out. The closest thing there is is the noob-corp we are spawned into by default. There is no reason that noob-corp can't function in an analogous way, and there is no reason to rip people out of that just so you can get your jollies by ******* with them before they even know what a warp disruptor is or the difference between an afterburner and a microwarpdrive. |

They could definitely use the experience of a large pool of players to get their bearings. The large pool of players present in a player corporation, for instance.
The idea that the newbie corps are populated by "players of many different stripes" is only nominally true. The vast majority of the characters in the newbie corps are throwaway characters, forum alts, expired trials or trade hub alts. Twitter: @EVEAndski

Most player corps are much smaller than most NPC corps, even accepting your premise that most of the characters in NPC corps are "not real" or whatever.
Most player corps are interested in teaching new players about HOW THEY play the game more than HOW TO play the game. And, when you're in a player corp, especially one in unsecure space, those other players in your corp can just kill you if you don't submit and conform to their playstyles. A newbie who can't fend off a ganker or griefer in high sec sure isn't going to have much to say 5-10 jumps into low sec or 30 jumps into null when one of his "superiors" tells him to do something he doesn't want to. You may not realize it, goon, but not everyone wants to be one of your peons, and forcing that on them might actually make them not want to log in or resubscribe.
Putting new players in a noob-corp exposes them to other noobs who they can interact with on a level playing field and maybe even learn from eachothers' mistakes and form social groups with. And, not all of the older characters are "throwaways" or cyno-alts.

Let's face it. Noobs have a hard time in EVE because killing, scamming, griefing them, etc. is like shooting fish in a barrel. Many of the suggestions you people are fielding are essentially that we take away their barrel. |

So... you DONT think that petty spite is the motive for most of EvE activity, even though that was your point?

Players join corps that do the things they want to do, so ipso facto those player corps teach them about what they want to learn. Don't like it? Join another corp.

'Vet' players still in noob corps only serve one purpose, to misinform new players.
Any new player would learn far more by just getting out of the kiddie pool.

I do think all things in EVE are rooted in petty spite. It's a video game that is based on blowing other peoples stuff up and most of the time with no real motive. All you showed were the steps to get to that end. EVE is still very much a game of petty and spite. |

What a load of bullshit. NPC corp chat is ridiculously toxic to new players, with brilliant advice like "don't ever leave hisec, just run missions." The people in NPC corps do more of that "teaching new players how THEY play the game" than anyone else. Twitter: @EVEAndski

mine used to be, before i stopped mining.
then again, we're attributing common sense with the group of players earning the least isk/hour, who often tell new players to mine because it's 'good isk'. It's kinda things like that which ruin the game for new players too - being flat out lied to by clueless people. |

If Moontani were a politician, this would be called a flip flop. You like so many in your alliance now pull out the moontani cheerlearder flag and start the chant. It doesn't matter that every thing he said contradicts everything he said 6 months ago because you people don't even register the information.
Goons don't want new players, they want new slaves. New minions like you with no more brains than a big dog who will fetch and roll over on command.
Sadly there are no more of those on the internet. The rest like to think for themselves and be individuals. They could be tempted in to playing EVE but pulling the wool over their eyes by insulating them from real EVE for an extra month? Won't help. They will still leave because the game is rooted in communist dictatorship at a mechanical level that forces players to give up all control of how they play for the greater good and in a video game setting it translates to horrible game play and boring timers.

This thread makes me laugh.
There is so much hate its not a discussion but more of a Religious battle.
Everybody believes there way is the right way and everybody is wrong and there is no room for any kind of meeting in the middle.
Simple fact is Eve has never been and will never cater to the masses and will always struggle to keep hold of new players.
The very nature of the game, the way it is advertised by CCP and the communities attitude to new characters will always ensure a high rate of new player attrition. |
