I agree EVE is superior in some dimensions, but only in areas that aren't really that exciting, like economy. I hear ppl saying EVE is hard and hardcore and how you have to be smart to play it and I just have to roll my eyes.

ppl thinking this is the only game,I could name a game that has full loot, alliance politics and clan siege warfare involving craftable ships and siege equipment, huge open world, FFA pvp and where player skill will actually set you apart and play a huge role in combat. The world is so big that ppl complain it takes them too loong to run into each other. Of a game based on individual player skills, youd be hard to find a better FPS game, as most of the projectiles have a much slower flight time than traditional FPS and you have to account for that, or they may be effected by gravity. You must not only have twitch skills you have to be able to predict where your opponent will be at the moment of impact. Tactical use of terrain is VERY important.

The game has no advertising save word of mouth, unfortunately, and got a bad rap from all the retards who cried about other players being better than them even though the HP difference between a newly created character and a 3+year "maxed out" veteran was less than 50%. You could argue the game has a low population for its world size, but you really can attribute a good portion of that to being too hardcore for most gamers. Imagine EVE without high sec. There is no PVE that can be done in safety and for what little safety there is inside NPC noob starter cities, you can still be killed. I could not get anyone I knew to play it, not because they thought the game was bad but because they didn't want to lose their **** to other players and feel that skill gap that you don't have to feel in EVE. Its called Darkfall and I doubt anyone in this thread has even played it.

No, I have just noticed that there were more claims of superiority comming from the players of EVE than any other community I've encountered. I'm just wondering why EVE players feel superior in a game that is, imo, mostly devoid of player skill in comparison to other games, probably in order to hold on to its relatively large population. there have been some great answers in this thread so far.

As most of my EVE gameplay takes place on my boat, moored on a large lake straddling the North Central United States and Southern Canada, the largest body of fresh water in the world, some 350 miles long, 31,820 square miles, and with a depth of up to 1290 feet , I would say I am a Superior gamer.

That get sucked?
