I've finished the tutorials, carrer and sisters of eve arc with 600,000 SP yet I find myself unable to gain enough ISK to do anything. After losing a few ships in low sec I find myself unable to even aford a cruiser and am having to grind badly paying level 2 missions and mining 6 hours a day and yet barely achieving anything. Trading seems to have been designed for (and played by) actual workers in the stock market.
Mining pays about 1m isk an hour and tier 2 missions about the same. Yet a fully ensured and equibed cruiser is going to cost up to 15m.
Really the only way to achieve anything in this game seems just to buy and sell PLEX. And I'm not paying -ú15+ just to able to do things in game.
No wonder most people only play this game for a month
It feels like that yes, join faction warfare and do offensive/defensive plexing (novice sites) and earn lp -- use that lp to purchase/sell faction things on the market. Good income along with some pvp action. If you don't want the pvp action, just warp off until the hostile(s) leave?
0.0 for ratting / exploration |

because every PvP combat I've run across the enemy have jammed my warp drive then shot me. Also doesn't faction warfare destroy your standing with other factions. I don't want to walk off even more of the map.
Reviewing the killboards this character has only lost a caracal. With 600k sp you should stay with frigs atm. And plexing in fw sites in a frig you have a good chance to warp off in novice/small/med sites. Just use your dscan when characters come into the sytem :) cheers. |

It's just that, in EVE, you are not entitled to any kind of achievement or success GÇö you have to actually make it happen yourself, and the game won't make it happen for you, or even help you along the way. This design is entirely intentional.
I agree you're not entitled to achievements or success but do not agree with "the game won't make it happen for you." You pay for a service monthly which is playing an mmo and interacting with other players, and part of that service is providing players the tools necessary to become successful and the ability to obtain or furnish your own success within the confines of the game. If this wasn't the case I'm sure a ton of players would leave in mass herds elsewhere. |
