An old woman was walking down the road when she saw a gang of thugs beating a poisonous snake. She rescued the snake and carried it back to her home, where she nursed it back to health. They became friends and lived together for many months. One day they were going into town, and the old woman picked him up and the snake bit her. Repeatedly. "O God," she screamed, "I am dying! Why? I was your friend. I saved your life! I trusted you! Why did you bite me?"
The snake looked up at her and said, "Lady, you knew I was a snake when you first picked me up."

eve online is a sandbox game with no instruction until they finish the gate/door opening jove space.. then we'll have direction to follow.. until then.. pay your milk money over to the goons.. they need it.. cause without them there would be no eve online.. it would be a game full of internet spaceships. Are you daft? 50m sp vs 120m sp on frigates is a fair match. Hell, even on BSs. Learn the game before you speak. You just went Grrr Goons hard kid.

Later realizing that you spent years addicted to remedial tasks that you cannot take with you, and have no net worth outside of this tiny sphere of whiny gamers. And barley even that TBH.
Winning?
What you've said applies to all of my hobbies. Running, for example, involves staring at nothing for hours on end. If you really want to participate and be good, you duck out of social events and go build your endurance. The skill that you build up won't really apply anywhere else unless you run from lions for a living. The health benefits can be better obtained from other shorter and simpler tasks that don't also destroy your spine. People who dedicate a lot of time to running generally can't talk about much else, think that it's the greatest activity ever, and they have lots of ideas on how to do it right or wrong. And even if you get pretty good at it, it's not like you're Usain Bolt or Paula Radcliffe.
You do things that are fun because they're fun.

Suicide ganking without repercussions does make this game a bit pointless.
If you die in hi-sec while engaged in criminal activity, it should cost you some skill points as well. Now THAT is a deterrent.
Concord also needs to act like the security force they are. Right now they have all the power of a Boy Scout troop.
In short, this game has always favored the griefer.

Used to be that way in UO. A criminal would die and then need to recover lost skill points. So you wouldn't necessarily always be attacked by a criminal (a Red), not unless they knew/thought that they would win. |

Betty Sue wrote:I'm asking this as a serious question. I have played this game off and on since 2005. I have tired abit of everything but all that seems to happen to me anyhow is crap.
I will give 2 examples that happened to me this weekend alone.
was moving around 300mil worth of random items to sell and in a 0.8 sec system as I was leaving a station boom blown up nothing I could do and icing on the cake he pop'd my pod to so I lost around 1 bil ISK in total. Whatever **** happens so I moved on
I stop playing before the wormhole stuff got really interesting so I figured I'd take a look see what its like, get a cheap probe ship going found a wormhole go into it fly to an asteroid belt and BOOM jumped by like 50 guys the destroy my ship and then spent around 40 mins flying around my pod laughing at me in local chat. I didn't care much cause I was just playing an alt running missions and I'm use to that ****.
So I put up with the type of stuff all the time I always seem to get this short end of the stick, I've tried to get into corps but have never had luck, I tired PVP but it always seems people are in groups and all the stuff I read that your suppose to be able to go at solo never plays out. I do mission running on my main account but honestly that great very boring very fast
So I'm just wondering what really is the point of this game? so far all I've gotten out of it is I will put in hours of my free time make money just to loose a good chunk of it to some ******* or group of *******.
Regardless of how it sounds I do enjoy the game but I feel like I am missing a very large part of it, any pointers someone could give me would be most welcome
The point of the game is to participate with other people in a PvP environment where virtual "danger" of one kind or another is ever-present, so that immersion in the game is deeper, so it feels like something's at stake with your actions.
Everyone feels the hurt in EVE, that's the whole point of it - even a "hardened" player is annoyed for a bit at losing something, it's just that they're more used to it, so it doesn't throw them psychologically as much as it does a newbie.
Unfortunately, it's not really a very solo-friendly game until you are very highly skilled and able to afford and can fly and use high level ships and gear. And to solo - even PvE solo (in the context of avoiding PvP if you can) - you have to have quite good twitch skills too.
The most fun to be had out of EVE is in playing with other people, in being part of a group, doing tasks together, building or destroying something together.
And in EVE, building and destroying are two sides of the same coin, each feeds the other, both are necessary, and most players do a bit of both, I think, although they may focus more on one than the other.
The best advice I can give to a solo player is to always have some plan, some goal, something to aim for - otherwise EVE is pretty boring. None of its systems - e.g. combat - are intrinsically much fun, they're only fun in the context of having a sense of progression. But EVE can give you that, and a sense of immersion, like no other game.
So if you're bored, leave. Don't worry, you'll come back to New Eden, trust me, you always will; if you've ever enjoyed it for any length of time, the game never gets its hooks out of you :) |

The point of eve depends in what you are asking.
If you are asking as a perspective from real life, the point of eve is enjoyment and or entrainment. Whatever that means to you, is what it is. For me personally, its trying to carve something in this game for myself. and making friends and enemies along the way. 10 years and i have not had a perm place thats mine, but i'm still working on it.
If you are asking as in a 'what the **** is the point of this game it sucks/boring/whatever' then the point of eve is essentially the same as irl. You make your own point. Eve is not a theme park. If i use WoW as an example, the point is to get high end gear and kill big things with your buddies, thats it. As thats the end game. you go to it and ride the rides, then you go home.
Eve is a 'what you make of it' game. a lot of people tend to forget or don;t ever grasp this concept. You find what you like, and want you want out of it, and you do that. its that simple. |

As far as video games go, Eve doesn't have much point, and isn't very fun, in the classic sense. But I still play it instead of others.
Why? Because I've stopped thinking of it as a game, and started thinking of it as a simulation. It simulates power and politics, economics, and space battles. And that intrigues me.

The point of eve is for you to do something stupid and for me or someone like me to punish you for it. At least until you learn not to do stupid things. Its generally easier to learn not to do stupid things once you join a corp, one that is not a highsec corp with dreams of going to 0.0 while they mine away yelling stupid death threats at these new order guys..

Lets be real, the point of Eve is the forums. The actual game is in fact meaningless, and terrible.
Like any sandbox game or life in general, the point is simple, to exist. What you do during that existence is your choice, those choices gives your existence meaning. There isn't any definitive meaning or purpose outside of that.

That's pretty much what it all boils down to. We are all immortal, so even though losing massive ISK and a ship that you've grown rather fond of certainly is a downer you can -and should- bounce back with a vengeance to recoup losses, right wrongs and reinforce your New Eden legacy. Don't despair, death is just a way of life out here. And we all bounce back. Fly safe, fly hard.
