Vulix Republic University Minmatar Republic 0	Posted - 2012.12.05 18:29:00 - [1] - Quote There is basically no way to remain competitive in this game without investing at least a few hours per night playing. You get screwed in so many ways if you so much take a weekend off. I don't want to sit on my ass all day just to fly a virtual space ship so that maybe I would actually stand a chance against fat nerds who don't go outside and 15 year olds
Ammzi Infinite Covenant Tribal Band 1072	Posted - 2012.12.05 18:33:00 - [2] - Quote OK... Bye o/ quote CCP Spitfire "Hello Im Blue,"
Warde Guildencrantz TunDraGon 355	Posted - 2012.12.05 18:34:00 - [3] - Quote so train skills for 5 months then come back when you can fly something decent otherwise give up and go home

Charles Case GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 257	Posted - 2012.12.05 18:40:00 - [5] - Quote I think video games in general are not for you friend.
Artimis Scout Wormhole Cartography 1	Posted - 2012.12.05 18:41:00 - [6] - Quote I'd tell you to go back to WoW but I think you have to login to that game as well to get anywhere.
Vulix Republic University Minmatar Republic 0	Posted - 2012.12.05 18:42:00 - [7] - Quote I like how everyone just gets defensive except for Pyre, sort of. Basically says everything that is needed to be said
Berendas Sniggwaffe YOUR VOTES DON'T COUNT 360	Posted - 2012.12.05 18:42:00 - [8] - Quote Who said we want "the average gamer" playing EVE?
Jenn aSide STK Scientific Initiative Mercenaries 493	Posted - 2012.12.05 18:43:00 - [9] - Quote Quote: This game is too time-consuming to let the average gamer be competitive So your proposal? sounds like yo want an arcade game. EVE is what it is, love it or GB2WoW or whatever. CCP Gargant:-á this game requires a certain amount of simply going out there and chatting with people. You will get scammed, destroyed, cheated, trolled, and blown up but that is just a part of the essence of this game. -á
Vulix Republic University Minmatar Republic 0	Posted - 2012.12.05 18:43:00 - [10] - Quote You guys are lame im going to go play WiiU

MatrixSkye Mk2: "Remember: You consent to unconsensual PVP the moment you press the "Undock" button."

Mehashi 'Kho Spiritus Draconis Sicarius Draconis 35	Posted - 2012.12.05 18:45:00 - [14] - Quote AFK skill training pretty much removes the need to play every day to remain competitive. On top of that you can pay for your sub in real money and remove the need to grind too!
Dave stark Black Nova Corp. R O G U E 729	Posted - 2012.12.05 18:47:00 - [15] - Quote considering everyone's skills train in real time... doesn't matter how much you play. think we can safely say the op is simply wrong. Reading my posts is like panning for gold; most it will be useless, but occasionally you'll find a nugget of gold.

EVE needs 2 things: -a pop up in game when you undock that says "undocking means you consent to getting blown up" And -a pop up when you navigate to General Discussion saying "by coming here you consent to getting the stuffing trolled out of you, by up to and including CCP" Then all will be right with the world.

Horribly fail way of playing. Doing anything outside of your means tends to be a bad idea; it's no different in a video game. And the same thing can be said of every other MMO. Not like I've never seen the exact same whine over World of Warcraft. PS: I don't play on the weekends. Apperantly, even as a cripple, I have more of a life than some of you. That's ******* sad.
Othran Route One 259	Posted - 2012.12.05 18:51:00 - [19] - Quote Be competitive at what? PvP? Industry? Trade? For PvP that isn't hanging around high-sec stations 23/7 then you'll need some skills and some experience. I had about 3 mill SP when I started at that but Agony Unleashed taught me the basics which helped a lot. For a lot of the industrial stuff, even if you have the skills it eats up a lot of time. A friend had the Hulk BPO and while it was an isk-printing machine it took a lot of time to keep that machine running. Trade is probably the best method of funding whatever you want to do with the least amount of effort. Doesn't require much in the way of in-game skills to get started, just requires some RL "skill" in terms of identifying the niche you get started in.

P.S. I'm not fat I plan on living forever.......so far, so good.
Natsett Amuinn GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 553	Posted - 2012.12.05 18:56:00 - [21] - Quote This just in, EVE makes gamers fat.
Vera Algaert Republic University Minmatar Republic 465	Posted - 2012.12.05 18:56:00 - [22] - Quote The only meaningful progression in EVE is social progression - and just as irl this takes talent, luck and a massive time investment. For everything else in EVE there is PLEX. I'm a NPC corp alt, any argument I make is invalid.
Borlag Crendraven Future Corps Sleeper Social Club 113	Posted - 2012.12.05 18:59:00 - [23] - Quote The moment you let the game dictate how much time you spend playing it, you've lost it. Stop worrying about what others do and how much of it they do, do what you like and do as much of it as you like. If there's someone that has problems with it, well there's always blaster volleys to the face that fix that.

Go troll elsewhere and take your crappy Wii with you. Bumping, leave it alone.
