The hardest part about people who have played this game long enough to get comfortable, forget that just because someone is new doesn't mean they won't be "better" or "smarter" somewhere down the road.

Xen Solarus wrote:Its true that many of the threads in these forums demonstrate a distinction between viewpoints. I often find it the most telling that the highsec haters are more than happy to have people leave the game. This demonstrates that they care more about their own niche and opinion than they do the continued health and growth of EvE as a whole.
EvE is a great game for the very reason that it allows gameplay styles from all walks of life. From the hardcore highsec carebear industrialist that never undocks, to the hardcore pirate scumbag only looking to harvest the tears of his victims. The highsec haters believe that their style of gameplay is the only style, and that everyone should, or should eventually, play the game for exactly the same reason as them. They are wrong, regardless of how many times they scream "PvP only game!" why blasting defenceless targets to atoms.
People should be open and accepting that EvE caters for different people. Its one of the best aspects that sets it aside from other games. It's a true sandbox! The players that are more than willing, even eager, to see people leave that don't fit their mindset are selfish in the extreme. They are more interested in their own gameplay than the continued growth and development of the game.
Funnily enough some of the most cutthroat pirates are the coolest people too.
And there are quite a few people who will wave at you if you evade their gate camp, will say hi, and still try to kill you.
Then there's people who take this game way too seriously =(

What's worse are the corps who advertise you can bypass all of that and go directly into a nullsec corp and learn "endgame" (what an attraction!) and then find out everyone is bitter about sov grinds and how op highsec is.
And then find out those same people run highsec alts.
Then complain about how broken the game is, and now you have disenfranchised rookies who slapped themselves for making such an investment.

Yea I first learned when I accidentally entered lowsec not knowing anything about ransoms. I knew the risk, but I wanted to see the place. I docked up in a COURTHOUSE of all places, and got pointed and couldn't make it back to dock. In a new shiny omen I spent all my money on.
I couldn't afford the ransom and so got blown up.
I think had a conversation with the guy and he set me straight.

I don't want to agree with you because we shoot each other, but that was funny =P.

But don't poison the newbies before they even have had the chance to experience both sides. Newbs are not going to learn anything by restraining them from day one. well, they will learn to be independently wealthy which is vital for being a member of certain PvP corps and not everyone wants a second boss. Why must everyone aspire to wealth? Do people not realize there are people out there that love flying by the seat of their pants and find acquisition of wealth through mundane task too boring as an entertainment passtime? Why are you a slave to your wallet if you have such strong feelings about having a "second boss" dictate what when and how you do in a game?
I personally hold no value to isk because I spend too much of it and have the cash to buy plex.
I've found it's more fun to NOT have the wealth to respect the ship you fly in and learn how to take chances and when to restrain yourself. Focusing on isk is I think, bad.

I'm just saying I enjoy life as a freelancer, not that it's the 'correct' way. I just really hate the idea of being dependent on people for ships. There's corps out there for me, no doubt. I've read their forums, I know what they expect, and you need to pay your own way.
Also an RPG wiohout any grind is just something too radical for my elderly gamer mind to grasp.
Highlighted the important part. Sounds 'correct' (for you) to me. Too often people get stuck doing something they don't enjoy, because others told them it is required (when it's not) and burn out in the process. And that is the core reason players of all kinds quit - they don't enjoy what they are doing and leave for a pastime they do enjoy.
Yea this game really isn't that good to warrant doing that. If you do not enjoy it there is no point in playing it. Definitely niche.
