There are several things I'd like to point out:
 Quote:
* Solo play is really limitid. you can do missions that will get you bored after a week of play, the same I will say for mining. You can run around gank peeps in low sec areas, is fun but takes a lot of time :-). ohh and offcourse there is building stuff, I think the marked is pretty full of stuff allready. But that goes for all this types of games.
EVE is a MMORPG. MMORPG means Mass Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. The reason why you can't do that much solo is because it is intended for people to work together. You can get rich from soloing, but it's harder since it is not what it's meant for.

The game has not evolved much since launch, and when they Launced this game it was still in early Beta. They have done a lot of Redoing of how ships & guns behave, that has not done much for the playability, just anoying for the most. Logic has also gone out the windows with a lot of the patches. The game might look ok for a new guy, but for one that has been playing since Beta the game is been bat-nerfed a lot.
Redoing is called balancing. The good thing about the need for balancing is that it's required because EVE is about more than who has the biggest sword and the thickest armour. If you know how to play your cards, you can kill people who are a in a lot bigger ships than you, have way more skillpoints than you and have better modules than you. Of course CCP sometimes make mistakes in doing so and therefore need to redo stuff.

This games is not made for new players, The time limited xp system makes it very hard for a new player to start up. I would never start to play a game that has time controlled xp system. There should have been a sytem that new players can catch up.
I see this as both good and bad. You are amongst those of us that have played this game almost from the beginning. How would you feel about a player who had played this game for a month, but had more skillpoints than you, could use better stuff than you etc? Again, this game is meant for new players to cooperate to be able to do something about those that are a lot better than them.

The support in this game is very Bad. but that is for all these types of games ?
You know when you use volunters as ISD crew. Say no more .
Example you make a pettion on a ship you lost in a lag or any other reason. He says no. You make a new pettiton and another Isd guy does the pettion and a new ship comes into you hangar, np. Or you make a pettion and never get ananswhere because it get lost in all the mail
Petitioning about losing a ship to lag is frankly stupid in my opinion, because it happens for everybody. The GM's answer the petitions about losing stuff to broken game mechanics, stuck petitions and such stuff is usually handled by the ISD (as far as I have been able to understand it). You have never thought that the reason why petitions get lost might be because every noob and his dog petitions it when they lose their ships to lag/pirates/npcs?
Petitions are meant to be used if there is something wrong with the game or the people who play it. Not for whining about losing stuff, because it's a risk we all take.
Quote:
There is very little happning at events base of the game. Problay a lot for those that have a Polaris friend. The events can be very hard to find. because the anoucments are placed diffrent places every where.
Unfortunately I have to agree on this point. I think there are some reasons for this though. I think that with Exodus, CCP has to fix a lot of bugs and balance a lot of stuff, hence less time for events.
Other than that, I think EVE is the MMORPG with most storyline events that I know of. I mean, have you ever heard of things like player championships to decide who is to be the ruler of an entire race in the game in any other MMORPG?
EDIT: About the topic I just want to add: EVE FOR GREAT AND ABSOLUTE WIN!
