on the one side it is true, that new player are more disadvantaged... because every few month there are coming new skills, which improves your ships and weapons. when should you learn all that stuff? The weapon power in that game is needed to have a chance in 10/10 Dungeons, but not to have PvP fights, because they last only about 10 to 30 seconds after flying hours through space... weapons against other players are overpowered i think! and you cant specialise on one part of skills, because you must have as much firepower like the old players to have a chance when are you going training all time in Mining to get money. And for money you need expensive minerals, like zydrine and megacyte, and without firepower you cant get into these sectors... even when there are now small amounts in hemorphite and that stuff, they are only available in low sec.
and a new player should play half a year only to see, that he only hurts the older players shild, before he is staying again in the asteroid belt to mine scordite with his new noob frigate for money to buy a better ship again. I think that sounds like a very boring playtime...
on the other side:
we started with 7 people and saved all our money together to buy an new ship after the next till everybody had a cruiser - the next part was to create a Corp. Then we tried to mine in 0.3 sectors for jaspet to get faster money and we got problems with pvp pirates - we lost ships - we runned away - but we returned 2 weeks later and picked them out one for one and showed them together, that we are noobs which can kill old players! We learned how to PvP and we had lots of fun - and we only played for 40 days to can do this!
After that we joined to a AntiPirate Community in a low sec territory where about 6 corps helped each other. After 2 month defending our small sector, we found a Alliance which looked for new members and now we are in a Alliance with access to all resources and Dungeons that exists in that outer ring sectors and have our own great Pos after a half year playing, a lot of PvP and Fleetbattles and enough Money to buy new ships after loosing them. and we startet with 7 noob frigs!
So every new player which says that is unfair, forgot that M in MMORPG - MULTIPLAYER - if you want to your stand alone thing in that game, you play the wrong game. And if you want have fun - look for friends - there are enough new players without corp which look for people to help each other!
