YES I truly am a very new and very fresh player, under 1.5million SP- The reason I know about the things I've been writing about? Because A) The first corp I joined got war dec'd by Marmite and I wasn't left with any explination- so I had to google it for myself.. and B) I'm in prominent Sov Space alliance now with their own wikis and guides along with specialized new player training.
Basically nobody who shoots at other random players on a daily basis cares much about those players - just like you'd expect on FPS/Tanks/whatever - they are icons/graphics in a computer game.
If they actually know the players then its a different matter.
You'd be surprised just how many PvPrs are willing to explain to you in detail how you lost that 1v1 fight with them. Some of the best friends I have/had in Eve were people who blew me to bits - I convo'd them about the fight & got great advice. Most people want a better fight (up to a point with some ;) ) and are willing to help you.
You also have morons in Eve who just like taking the ****, like any game.
Eve doesn't appeal to many because of the high (potential) losses which can be incurred through non-consensual PvP. What is a high loss to a 3 month old character is a trivial loss to the same character at 6 months.
That is a serious issue & its why Goons/TEST/etc have become so successful - they recruit REAL newbies in and out of game & just say "Go have fun, we'll sort you out with new ships/skillbooks/etc, don't worry about isk".
The thing is though - the only reason lots of people play Eve in the first place is because of the losses which can be inflicted.
Playing on sisi isn't the same because its "pretend" - just like most MMOs. Have fight, get beaten, get nice items back. That's not Eve :) |
