I obviously don't get your point OP, because I've been playing for skills and still manage to enjoy the game. Please explain to me how to stop having fun, thanks. |

Unless things have drastically changed in the last year efter I took my raw-newbie alt (this was before I noticed that I could create dummy characters in EVEMon to build plans on  ), they're still as prevalent as they were when I first started Tippia. If anything, they might even be more numerous since there are more old hands around now who stuck around to dispense their GǣwisdomGǥGǪ but maybe that's just me noticing them more now than I did 6 years ago.

He makes the same erroneous assumption you do that you have to wait before you partake in any given activity. This is simply not the case. "Any given activity," Let's see... that's like saying, "If you breathe what your lungs need, you'll live." Aka, it means nothing of value. People in this thread lob lists of things you can do in EVE without skills, as if being busy and doing things is supposed to be rewarding. I'll say it again (and as yet, no one dared pick up the baton on it)...no player who has the option to engage in activities that will directly influence his ability to acquire the skills, ships, and mods of his choice will ever spend a fraction of a second doing anything else on your "things you can do instead" lists.
All activities in Eve serve only to fulfill a cycle of act,???, profit, fund acts, repeat.
There is little you can do in this game that is truly useless. As skills do not require a proactive attitude in order to be developed, all you really need to worry about is gathering experience and knowledge by playing as much of the game as possible, in order to figure out exactly what appeals to you; this will not only save you ISK in the long run, by allowing you to cut out skills that don't serve your interests, but will also earn you ISK to spend toward skills you think you need at the moment, plus any materials you need for the activities you are currently involved in.
All players have the option to decrease the amount of time required to train skills, to a small degree, and that is through either purchasing implants, or purchasing characters. Both are very expensive, and can only become affordable through playing the game and earning ISK (or in some cases, LP).
If you are unwilling to play the game then you really have no business being here. |

The same goes for Battlecruisers, it's totally possible to run lvl 4's in them if you know what you're doing, it's not optimal, but it's certainly doable. Without support and proper weapon skills? Not optimal is an understatement. And how does a low sp player increase optimization? That's right, the heart of the issue, they wait for that timer to tick, forever waiting and waiting and waiting.
Any skill past the minimum req. for a module, ship, or weapon is only an incremental stat increase. The biggest difference made will be in how you handle yourself, and fit your ship. There is no need to wait unless you have already familiarized yourself with the game mechanics and what it is you are doing. If you are new, then it is on you to undock and figure out your way of doing things. |

Or was that ignored in the slaughter?
I mentioned implants and character auctions in an attempt to address the OP's misillusioned account of skill functionality and player competency, but it got swept up in the storm of flaring egos and bulletproof skulls. |

As it offered nothing on topic, your post was a troll. What did you expect in return?  KnowUsByTheDead wrote:You simply ignited something literally every EvE player deals with. Imagination is called the solution. You aren't paying attention. Imagination, I have. Desire to apply it to EVE, I don't.

If you don't like it, you're free to leave. Nobody is forcing you to play Eve, don't get mad at us. |

IMHO you're a whiny, entitled, little shite, just go back to WoW please. This game has lasted TEN years with roughly the same skill progression mechanics. Just because you think you have to "wait to play" the game because of skills, does not make it true, as there are LOTS of things to do in this game, even in frigates. You, like many others, have missed the point. But you didn't even try, where some at least gave a little effort. So you can take the titan you think I want and shove it up your pasty little asymptote. It has never been about ships or money or "getting" stuff. Read the OP and save yourself the trouble of always being a jackass.
Consistency is overrated. |
