Counter point: In EVE PVP, equipment determines the winner. Period. Equipment is dictated by subscription length. Because CCP keeps raising the equipment "level cap," a new player will never catch up. Nor will play skill help -- CCP has coded any of that out of the game.
Everyone has heard the phrase "Don't take a knife to a gun fight." For the new player in Eve replace the word gun with ballistic missile and the word knife with Rubber Chicken.
Went on a frigate roam last night.
4 day old player helped us kill 2 BS, 2 Vagabonds and a Caracel while 3 'verterans' who should know better missed out on the killmails because they messed up, went too close and got smartbombed.
All of the newer characters on that roam were helpful because they brought that extra bit of ewar ( multiple webs and TDs on the poor little vagas ruined their day ).
Sadly it's people like you that put off the newer players, probably because you can't bear to see them succeed through skills that you can't develop.
As to pimping, sometimes it's worth the pay off, eg. faction point on a curse because you want your point range to match your neut range. The T3s R&K fly are generally pretty nice fits as they don't die very often due to that fact ( faction hardeners overheat for longer, faction HS mean you can get away with 2 damage mods and fit more tank... etc etc. ) Also by the time they do die they'll have killed many many times there worth on an alliance efficiency level.
OTOH when I'm out in a BC / Frig gang I'll be in a strictly T2 fit.
After 6 months you can rapidly run through L4s / Rat / explore well enough to fly T2 fine.

I didn't write the game. Threads like this one pop up for a reason. The OP in this thread was responding to what she (and anyone else paying the slightest attention) sees as a community concensus.
CCP is spamming the internet with ads for this game. They are EVERYWHERE, and are bringing in (and back) a lot of players. Sadly, every day another new player runs into the training wall. I think that's a shame, because this is a kick-ass game. I believe that CCP could probably quadruple their subscription numbers if they just made the damn game accessable to EVERYONE.
WTF!
You selectively quote me to disagree when I've just given a decent example of a 4 day old noob outperforming players with more than a year on the clock.
Please take your agenda out of New Citizens and to GD rather than trying to ruin the game for others.
