This thread is going to become a monument to everybody claiming "what is" when it's really what they want to see but have yet to break out of the mere fact they are playing a game and that's all they are doing.
When I want to feel better about myself, I go out and do things that mean something, THEN I log in and relax knowing that I have earned well my right to say "F**k you world, I'm playing with internet spaceships and getting drunk for a while. I'm off the clock."

Felonia and I go way back. My Ishkur was undefeated until I went on a roam with him as FC. I honestly liked the guy. Still do.... but I did promise he would pay for the loss of my beloved Ishy :p "you can identify eve players by looking at their cars.

For me two things combine to make a good Eve player. Someone who can set their own goals and is willing to work toward them, and someone who understands that loss happens in this game and can deal with it.
For most newbies the biggest thing to get over is that when you lose something, it is gone forever. Once you can accept that you are good to go. Bienator II: "You can identify eve players by looking at their cars. Since they don't drive what they can't afford to lose."

this is beyond true.
Also if they have a EVE sticker on the back of their car. |

I kind of want a small Gallente Federation logo for my back window..... just big enough so that other EVE folks will notice it, but nondescript enough so that most people will just say "oh.... cool birdy."...

Actually that's a lot more accurate. Thank you. Bienator II: "You can identify eve players by looking at their cars. Since they don't drive what they can't afford to lose."

A real EVE player is just a person who has never closed his child eyes and when mines huge asteroid never say "boring farming times" but "Wow ! I'm in space mining asteroids ! This is a dream come true !".
He\she is a person who never lost the wonder of discovering. Scammers, lost ships, ISK are just a part of the game. Universe is the best part. An EVE player can visit stars from the space. |

Rabid determination, stoicism and a fanatical dedication to exploiting any situation to your advantage.
Plus the willingness to apply huge amounts of DPS to any problem that the qualities above can't help you with. NBSI shall be the whole of the Law |

I love this thread.
EVE players play the long game. We scratch empires together with grit and charisma. We wait years to stab our 'friends' in the back and make off with the goods. We are capable of the greatest acts of random kindness, and the most callous indifference at another's loss. EVE is the face of humanity made bare. Here everyone can be who they can't be in the real world. Nowhere else in the virtual world can you find an experience quite like it.

I'm confused. EVE community is intelligent and welcoming, while at the same time elitist and unforgiving of any sign of weakness, terminating the offender with extreme prejudice? That's like saying "gentle and affectionate chainsaw".

Lots of good answers here, i like this one the best. I'd only add "A REAL EVE player takes responsibility for their choices in every way".
Some people who play EVE can't do this of course, it's easier to blame others for their own failures. To be brutally honest I have more respect for people who try EVE and quit than those who don't like the game yet keep playing "because in the future it might be awesome".....

I call her Vera.
(yeah, yeah, I know she was a rifle ... deal with it).
The community is welcoming (for the most part).
Just look at all the posts in the "New Player" section that are "so I'm new ... and a bit lost". You'll see people offer all kinds of help. Or newbros in corps ... had one guy all scared of the local lowsec because "it's dangerous and I don't wanna lose my ship" (******* carebear brainwashing) -- told him it'd be fine and we'd cover anything that happened. After about 35-40 minutes of flying around and killing stuff, he warped off on his own to scout a belt (or the local 2/10 plex) and hero tackled a jag that was there (didn't even think about it). Unfortunately we came half a second too late to save his ship, but we got the kill ... and the newbro got 30 (fitted!) frigates for it.
Intelligent too (sometimes) -- I mean, just look at the stuff that people have made...
The "unforgiving of weakness" part is harder to consider ... will have to think about it in greater depth One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia |

Hoarding gone wild. If you start thinking you have to much stuff for pvp for example, multiple it by 3 then. This way you can actually enjoy the game instead of having to look for ships to fit. |

Someone who plays Eve. No need to look deeper, since Eve is a sandbox it attracts many different types of people.

I have sh*t all over the place
What makes an EVE player? Someone who is dedicated to learning the mechanics of the game. At least from personal experiance, someone who knows how this game works makes a better EVE player. Also, someone who is willing to learn and that will think for themselves, rather than being spoon fed. It's human nature to want to explore. To find your line and go beyond it. The only limit, is the one you set yourself. |
