Were people constantly spew the fact that EvE is a PvP game and you sit there thinking "If that were true, I know so many better PvP games".

(Jesus, I said Bugger off, to many damn Brits in this game)

I don't quite get why...

It's like saying, go learn about life and society by isolating yourself on an island. You won't make progress and evolve if you don't learn from others. Your point of view is quite sad really. If people weren't "spamming" the forums with their opinion, feedback would be impossible. Grow up !

Was there a point in there somewhere?

The point is to make a demand to have personal tastes catered to while couching such a demand in faux altruism.

Cutting right to the heart of the matter, well done, have a like sir!

If EvE would be like other games out there I surely would have stopped playing the game a long time ago instead of still sticking to it after almost 9 years now.

You might say that ccp has not added that much content over the time, but they added many tools to create our own content in our little sandbox. If you were playing eve for 4 years and still do not get that ccp merely provides us with the tools to forge our own destiny you will never understand what eve is about.

When i buy a game for 50-60 Gé¼ i might have a game with lots of content, but I play that game for one weekend at max and then i am done with it. In EvE there are so many things you can do if you are open minded and creative and do not wait for the developer to tell you what to do that you can spend many years in EvE.

Again... EvE for me is special because we as players can create our own content and not in a way that other games like Star Trek Online give you the chance to do it (creating your own PvE missions and stuff like that).

No.. we create our own content by building up empires or tearing them down and ccp gives us new tools to do that on a regular basis. If you need someone to write a storyline for you to follow then EvE never was the right game for you and if it took you 4 years to figure that out i feel sorry for you.

Another feature you don't get out of the other games is that you can pass out, wake up 20 minutes later and still see the ship happily grinding whatever you were doing before

wall of text

The Jukebox is a good improvement from EVE of 4 years ago. Used to you could only play the EVE soundtrack stuff. Mine's currently playing old Lightnin' Hopkins Texas blues. Doesn't match wormhole ambience at all.

I removed the obvious things as the OP knows that EvE is not a content driven game. So I'll give her the benefit of the dooubt and assume that she has realized that in 4 years. She seems intelligent enough.

Now to my point:
EvE is just that, a plaer driven game. New expansions and PvE Contect is not the focus of the game, nor should it be. Grinding NPC standings, Grinding for LP. Those are some of the only "grinds" that you should ever have to do. Out in Null you can make isk rather easily by simply running one complex and picking up some faction loot. So Isk is not a grind, If you have to grind for isk, you are missing some of the most fun parts of the game. Planetary Interation is an easy, low SP required, sustainable income, and can support a Plex a Month with general ease.

But the larger point is, Players create the content. If you do not want to play any kind of PvP then you will burn out on EvE eventually. PvE is not how to play EvE. It isn't advertised as a PvE game such as WoW. It does not have a story driven quest line (exceptions being Epic Lines and a few missions here and there) Take for example, GOONS and NCDOT are at each other's throats (last I heard) That is an EPIC story in EvE two of the oldest alliances are going to wreak havoc across the galaxy. The really need to chronical this war and it will eventually become legend like the old Jovian Empire. THAT is what EvE is about. The players making thier game what they want it to be. Lone Wolf Pilot - striving to scrape a living on the mistakes of others, or mega alliances controlling entire segments of space, or a reclusive corperation, slinking out of a WH for a much needed supply run.
