Suppose i'm writing this from the wrong character, but i have been playing since april 2004. Main has 180m SP, guess that's old.
Why dont i play much?
1. Because little children run nullsec. If you want to go there to pvp, you HAVE to fly a capital, or fly really awful fits designed for low-skill nubs to blob with. There are a hundred other problems with this area of space for people with too many skills. I dont want to move to null.
2. The biggest thing for me, is the cost of clones. I dont really enjoy PvP because i really hate the idea of having to pay 40, or 60m for a naked clone. They're fixing this soon, it will make a HUGE difference.
3. also VERY critical, is that they have teiricided and balanced the living hell out of everything. It really, now, makes absolutely no difference what race you fly, or what ship you fly--they all have about the same dps. This is SO true, that the flycatcher, corax, harpy (or is it hawk?), ALL have the exact same dps (think they upped the catcher a little recently). The same is true of the navy scorp, golem, etc) ... it's virtually the same with all the other little ships.
..... so there is literally no reason, besides choosing which color you want your ship, or what type of ecm bonus you want, to fly one ship over the other. I can fly them all, i literally cant decide what ship to fly anymore, because it makes NO DIFFERENCE.
4. They have removed most of the things i sunk a lot of skills into, for me, this is science and industry... This means--invention dumb-down, ME/PE evening-out, etc. Seems like a huge waste of my time, and therefore i dont do it anymore. My alts with 3 weeks training are JUST as effective as my main with 40m SP's in science and industry. This is also true of the datacore/R&D agent nerf.
5. Most corps to join are small and not very nice. They try to do too much (look at how all of them want to go to null, that's pathetic). Mining corps are essentially run by one guy getting rich off buying cheap minerals... It's no fun recruiting.
6. If i go do things with other people, they sometimes feel so bad about their skills in comparison to mine, that they quit. I have literally gone out to help a guy do a lvl 4 in my mission ship--and had him rage-quit/unsub that day. This doesnt happen often, but variations of it do... The most annoying is probably being able to fly something, or fit something (all ship skills to 5, all t2 ships to 5, all fitting skills to 5, even all t2 gun specs to 5), and they just cannot fly a comparable fit--i dont fit into fleet fights well--there's just something 'off' about a guy in a cormorant hitting out to 133k, when everyone else musters 78.
i could really go on and on about this, but for me, it's the horrible way nullsec is run, the cost of clones, and the blandness/sameness of all the ships. THOSE are the key things for me. Corps can be great if you find one that's great (my main has), and dumbing down my ships is hard, but can be enjoyable with the right people.
