That's exactly how I play and people will tell me I'm doing it wrong but I'm making ISK and learning the game just fine. Afterall it's player versus player, not co-op. I've got my plan and I play casually so Eve's ridiculous training times don't frustrate me. I want to try everything a solo character can do at my own pace. I don't want the game to run my life but I want to play it for years.

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.

Even if you're not going to low or null to PvP, learning how to get around is a must if you want to get into exploration or ratting or just because it's a thrill. you can learn how to setup undock insatwarp bookmarks, cloak and MWD tricks and how to escape bubbles (well... how not to panic and die in them anyhoo) in a very short period of time and have success. do it when you get bored of high sec (this happens)

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'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.

The NPC schools are defintely an underused resource. you can often get more sense out of corp chat than rookie help because there will be vets using alts in them like you, or just guys who never bothered leaving 'cos they can do pretty much everything with friends they've made in the NPC corp that they could in a player corp.
