I've watched some youtube videos and watched guys clicking all over their screen as they fight other pilots.......Who in the hell clicks in pvp, It's hotkeys and hotkeys only, miliseconds matter, None the less these pilots win battle after battle which tells me this game is really nothing but a "I've got more time invested into skills then you" game.
This is where you've gone wrong.
It's not a matter of clicking faster than everyone else... rather...
- it's about accumulating knowledge of the mechanics and metas (fits, tectics, etc) that others use and using it against them.
- planning ahead of time and employing strategy in a multi-faceted way.
- stacking the odds in your favor (in any way you can).
Basically... think of the game more as something akin to chess rather than flight simulator.
Overall skill points matter only matter when you are facing someone in a pure 1v1 situation... which rarely happens (and only results on the odds being stacking in favor of your opponent... it in no way guarantees his/her victory).

I love the idea of this game, I love space, space ships, pvp, making in game money, challenges and grinds but none of it seems to be keeping my attention. Where is the challenge and where is the fun in this game? What do YOU do that keeps you hooked? As of right now I feel like sitting in a hangar for a few months waiting for reasonable skills to be trained.
Start by working for others. Learn from them. Soak up the knowledge they have at their disposal. Help them stack the odds in their favor (which will usually result in your death) and learn from it.
Social gameplay is a big part of EVE and will often result in you gaining much more than you could ever achieve by yourself (even with large amounts of skill points).
Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |
