Everyone can blame now on everything he dont approves, and all of them will have as much credibility as a 5 year old with crayons. Its basicallyt a "CCP, I told ya, you there, I told ya" thing.
Its more than you can handle, the reason, and the solution.

WOW, reading through the post, maybe I should have done that first before posting earlier. Wrong post, wrong place heck wrong forum.
Can anyone point me to a HELPFUL place/forum/wiki that is first and foremost helpful and secondly not out of date.
In game I have a few contacts mark with excellent standing and so many more with terrible standings, having read not just this topic but the eve forums, I would say that the same percentage of out game help reflects my in game standings.
Over the years with all the multiplayer and mmos, eve is the most unhelpful game to date for me and my gaming goes back to the 70's. Hang you heads in shame evers, do i become an ever or a leaver. After my subscription runs out, I have been conviced to become a leaver.
Just remember eve has been a pay to win for 13 years, theres a reason why CCP is introducing free to play. As far as Im concerned there is quite a large proportion of evers that have contributed to this directly. I joined eve before they announced the alpha clone but even that doesnt appeal to me now.
Good luck and thanks to all who have been helpful. |

Sounds like EVE just isn't your thing.
There is so much info just a Google away it's not even funny, in fact there is TOO MUCH help and information, not too little. unlike when many of us started there are whole player alliances built for the sole purpose of helping new people, you should stop complain and start talking to them if you need help.

I take not being able to read just isnt your thing. I asked for helpful and not out of date. Yes I know there is massive amounts of information out there, yes I have watch countless hour long youtube tutorials and read articles that are pages long, only to find out when i go back in game theres nothing familiar to what Ive just watched or read.
What I am saying about eve is, I am more than happy to play eve the way it is, in fact I wouldnt change anything. What I dont want is to have to spend more time reading than playing, is that concept to hard for you to grasp.
If new players were left to just grasp the game as it goes along without having to spend plex to pay for what has been destroyed so you and/or others can have a free game experience on the inexperienced.

You can also do like I have done thru the years, read a little and then log in and do something completely stupid, and do that until you will learn on your mistakes. Worked for me.
I think its more interesting.
BTW, i still do that.

I think as an intelligent person, still very much on the outside with eve, I have a somewhat different perspective on eves future, and by CCPs actions for the november update says it all, newbies come and play for free, even I can see that this is not the way eve should be.
So whats CCPs alternative to come down hard on those making it difficult for newbies and even young old me can see that that wouldnt work either.
What I can see is the people who play eve, with the unique way that eve works, has to fixed from within. CCP change too much and people will be left disgruntled.
Eve is the only game that Im aware of where the established players are completely hostile or intolerant or just cant be bothered. The few and I think Im not wrong in saying the few that are helpful, want me to carry on. My second time being taken out, a total stranger came up to me and gave me 50 million isk. Yes I have already had the dilemma was he/she part of the gank but kind enough regardless, I dont know.
Now im not saying go kill and then pay us for the damage done, what I am saying is I dont know the answer but all I know is there are gangs that are targeting the new players for whatever reason. It is this and this alone that I am disagreeing with.
Now as I have stated above CCP is powerless to do anything about this, if they do there will be the disgruntled. Only the people of eve can stop this if you want.
And yet on the other hand if you agree with gangs with a combined experience of 16 years taken out someone with 3 weeks experience as being ok then i bid you all farewell and good luck. |

Thats a nice dude/dudette for EVE standards. The gank probably was just for fun and giggles and maybe to teach you something without much hurt other than a lessen about how you can be 'content' for other players.
I only use fireworks on noobs for giggles thats how much of a softie I am, but they are still my content :)

Why you newbies want to be good at EVE so much? EVE when played bad is a lot more interesting.
You would be bored to death by doing everything right.

Listen I get eve, its warts and all and I love it, but It is a mountain to digest. Playing with one eye in game (not enough) and the other online is a task in itself.
I dont want to be confined to a small safe corner of eve. All I was told Hi-Sec safe Low-sec and Null-sec not so.
Im sitting at home station having chats with people who are rewriting the rules to suit themselves, just another thing to digest. All Im trying to ask here and in game to give us a bit of a break and there is one or two out of the rest who are on my side and again even in chat they have there gangs bombarding absolute s****.
I realise that I am not going to change peoples opinion on how new players should be treated. cowards + easy meat = success, no different from real life then.
Eve is what it is. |

Ok I'll bite on the OP topic, not whatever shitshow is currently ongoing because odds are it's really stupid.
If CCP wants to drive people to this game they need to find a way to make PVE interesting and engaging and it needs to be shaken up on a regular basis. No matter how you cut it the average player of any given MMO is going to spend a small amount of their time doing PVP stuff, and a greater amount of it doing PVE stuff.
Right now the PVE is still functionally the same as it was six years ago. Oh drones aggro slightly differently, oh the effects are slightly different, oh instead of shooting boxes I'm shooting chevrons ... but ultimately it's all still boring as hell and about as stimulating and engaging as sniffing farts.
Incursions were a good idea, and they were exciting and new for a short while until the "Max isk per hour code" was cracked. Build off of that framework, rotate it regularly and bring in new threats on a regular basis.
As it stands now I make most of my isk by flipping characters/screwing people over and the occasional plex sale. I'd be more than happy to dig my teath into some GOOD pve if it existed. But it doesn't. |

The topic is 'help ccp bring more players into eve!," right? Some thoughts. -The cash spent on internet targeted advertising (Eve ads on your sidebar) might just be showing ads to just us. People who already play Eve. I have no idea what the targeted persons profile is, but I get a fair amount of Eve advertising when I log into Yahoo or FB. "Wait, those animations and graphics over there look familiar... ah, it's Eve." I suppose it could help people decide to resubscribe. But is it reaching our fellow weirdos who would enjoy this game? Maybe an expensive 15 sec shot on syfy TV could be worth much more?
-Skill injector initiative might be good for low- mid-level players anxious to get over some hump. New players-- they won't even know that exist for a while. Much less how to beneficially use them.
-Code ganking. Honestly and overall, you guys know you could only do a service to the game if you popped real "afk/bot aspirants." If you can find one of those and kill it, then that would be a true service to high sec. Ganking new players because they're new and n00b, and also doing that circular double-talk, putting words into people's mouths, chat-ganging the victim-- that only makes people want to get the hell out of Eve and take a Lysol shower.
-The PVE is good enough, IMO. Once you got your game down, you can try soloing some epic arcs for challenges. If that's to simple for you, you can find a wormhole and take on some sleeper sites. If you get bored with that, you can try some PVP experiments in low sec. Faction Warfare is always hiring, and it's cheap ships stuff and has no player corp obligations at all.
Truth is, every player in this game started as a guy creating an account. picking a race and line, designing a char portrait, coming up with some hasty char name, and hitting Go. In other words, no way around it, each and every one of you guys were perforce ignorant N00Bs at that point. Looking back at your n00b newguy self exploring the game for the first time, what made you want to stick around? If the newguy experience is different now, would you want to stick around? Just going back to the topic of 'We want to help ccp bring more players into eve!' A good goal, I'd say.
Start the bubble machine!

You must not have gotten the memo where that is supposed to bring new players to Eve like a moths to fire.
Yeah I know.
Code ganking around but not in noob systems is probably the biggest reason new players don't stick with Eve Online. Those guys in Help channel saying HTFU probably doesn't help much either.

The downside to this is that people would complain it takes away from World PvP. It could if it was managed inproperly. Surely this goes against everything that EVE is?! |

And/or how bad Aura is at driving that point home: the stuff to do presented on a silver platter (mining, missions) gets stale really fast if you do it alone.

Why do you play it then? You are obviously some form of paying customer or you wouldn't be posting here.
I honestly don't get it, it's really like people who post here want some (boring as hell) happy happy sunshine game with no bad guys. Bad guys are what make the story, and in this game they are what gives real (ie "above ingame wealth") value to the experience. They exist (from my pov) to be outsmarted. Ruining a gankers day by surviving is gameplay too. Running the **** away (while still possessing the loot) is a skill.
It's almost as if many of you don't want to actually play a game.

Eve and WoW have completely different playstyles, WoW is an arcade-style story driven RPG, Eve is a player-centric social strategy game with some PvP elements, (most uniquely the ability to feel what it's like to play a leader of any type and scope from petty Tyrant to Multinational CEO). Serious PvPers don't play Eve they play Call of Duty or Overwatch.
WoW is a huge game with so many facets but at its heart it is a very traditional arcade crawler similar to Sonic the Hedgehog or Metroid.
Eve can never be WoW, Eve Valkyrie has some of the elements of an arcade style game but Wow is a decade old and no one will ever catch them on content. |

Yes they are different beasts and for good reason, the main one being that as per CCP Solomon "the risk of having your day ruined by other people is the cornerstone with which EVE was built"
Instances remove that cornerstone, because by their very nature they mean that there is zero risk of other people ruining your day in a way that you didn't expect.
If you want instances etc, go play another game that supports them.

I cant remember what the game was called but it was in the PS4 Dust area, It was a board game that you could play. It would be amazing if EVE had something similar in it. A way to compete with other players that had very little riding on it. Low risk low reward, like Project Discovery. I know the rest of the web exists but it would be amazing to have something with an EVEcentric flair.
After trying to bring a few people into eve their biggest complaint was the downtime. As much as warping into combat puts your heart in your throat, EVE has a lot of downtime.

You mean a game built from the ground up to be played with and against other people is boring when you take away the "other people" part? WTF? How can that be? Next you'll be telling me that if I take both wheels off my bicycle I won't be able to ride it. Preposterous!
You see this is why a little knowledge on gaming trends will help you form a better argument. Gaming trends tell you people don't want to play with or against hordes of other people. The trends tell you people want to play in groups of 5 - 10 people max and solo. People want specific roles and responsibilities within the gaming experiences. By my account CCP aren't taking any of this into account and keep pushing a game to be played in massive groups. a prime example of this is the typical hero bait whilst a fleet waits for a snag. This is why the game isn't engaging and isn't pulling players. Its dull and predictable.
