And your inability to accept any kind of criticsm is a disgrace to anyone who educated you. It also disgraces you, but I guess that you went beyond the point of even noticing that. This is also the third thread that goes down in flames, with the majority of players taking a firm stance against your suggestion. If that does not deliver the message into your skull, then probably nothing will.
Since nobody has offered any reasons as to why Eve will die, I still stand above the crowd. People are offering "I will quit eve therefore Eve dies" as the new Reason Of The Week, but it's no less nonsense than everything that has come before.
Eve will be just fine. They will not. That's a significant difference.

Oh and about attention seeking. The only attention seeker here is you, with one fail-thread after another and always ignoring all arguments that do not support you.
I don't ignore them, I shoot them down and move on. Getting offered the same insubstantiated nonsense over and over doesn't make a substantiated nonsense in the end. It will simply never make sense to keep repeating it.

A final word Jan VanRijkdom is absolutely right.
If you're going to pick a hero, do your research. There are better supporters of the Bitter Veteran Status Quo, and better in so much as they at least act like adults when they are being wrong, you would do well to spot the differences.
You do not stand above the crowd. Simply try to use clever wording in order to confuse and divert and then maintain you are doing your noble duty by 'standing above the crowd' and making sure the shining light of your 'truth' is heard. Little more than the same tactics used by religious demagogues for the last few thousand years. All words no substance. Ironically enough, the Creationist crowd are doing exactly what you are doing in the endless Creation vs Evolution 'debate'. Make you feel proud? The Creationists too, are wrong, but that's another debate.
Am I a vet, guess I am, been playing Eve for 5 years or so now. I am hardly bitter, however I do recognise that time is one of the greatest expenditures on this game by myself, the player. Oh sure, you can pick that apart and state, quite correctly, that I have not been playing 24/7 every day for 5 years, so time is not really that much of an issue. But there, is where you are incorrect. Time based learning is one of the central tenets of the philosophy behind Eve. Break that central tenet and you bring down one of the core pillars of Eve.
It may not break the actual game, but it will shatter the community. Eve will become too easy, there is nothing much left to look forward to. At the end of the day that is what we all play for. ISK is all very nice, PvP, PvE, Indy, whatever floats your boat. At the heart of it though, what keeps the vast majority of players coming back are their friends, and the new shiney they can fly/fit/build when that next skill train finishes.
The comment about graduating at 15 made me chuckle, raw intelligence means little. Personally I did not read my first degree until I was in my late twenties, graduated when I was thirty, since then added a clutch of postgrads to the certificates on the wall. In the end they mean very little, its what you learn before and after those bits of paper that really matters.
