I would have to echo others that this was not my experience either. EVE is definitely a game where you have to be able to enjoy the now.
When I started EVE i got into a few frigates. Then I trained an iteron. I didn't rig my ships so I could repackage them. I would pack up my Tristan and Imicus (mining frigate back then) in my and pick a spot on the map. I'd fly there and check it out. Look new ore's I've never seen, cool. These mission rats are different, how do I fight them?
I spent the first month nomadically checking out empire space. I still look back fondly on this.
About a week into the game the corp I was with (some people I knew from other games) was wardecc'd. They threw me into some T1 fit tackle incursus and taught me quickly how much fun PVP could be.
Bottom line is that it is total BS that you have to wait to do anything in EVE. You have to wait if you have the attitude of only being able to do something after you can fly ship X. But there is plenty to do out of the gate if you simply enjoy the level you are at vs the level you will be in the future. |

Not all gamers come from an online gaming community, so to assume this might be expecting too much.
That is all you got out of that? I'm sorry then you missed the point. The only thing I got from joining the corp from a gaming community I was with, was a wardec in my first week. Which did turn out to be fun. Otherwise the first coupld months in EVE I was basically fying solo. |

Because it serves very little.
If a player is frustrated in their first couple of months due to training, then in many ways they are already lost.
If any EVE player has the mindset that they cannot do anything until they have sit ship spinning for XX time (days,weeks,month) then they are missing the fundamental point of EVE.
If a new player has this mindset, giving them free SP isn't going to change it. At best it kicks the can down the road a ways. In many cases it will make things worse. |
