We play this game together. The more the merrier. This "I need to be overly helpful to my corp or quit the game" concept I blame on other MMOs. If you want to last in this game it's a concept you need to drop and drop fast. You do what you enjoy and find people to do it with.
It sounds to me like you got in a corp that was not a good fit. Instead of trying to find a better one you leave the game.
I've been playing this game much more on than off since 2009 and I don't have a full and comprehensive understanding of this game. You have to get used to not knowing **** and learning as you go. You have to be excited about a game that years from now you will still be learning stuff about.
Also you can read all that you want but experience is not only the best teacher but in truth the only way that you can really know a thing.
You do need friends in this game. You will need helpful people willing to take you by the hand and show you the ropes. It does not sound to me like you found that. Sounds to me like you found a corp that just recruits as many new players as possible hoping to get some isk via taxes instead of really being interested in playing the game with them.
If you want to find a good corp you have to talk with several and hang out in their public channels for a while. Even then it's not a guarantee and you might have to corp hop a bit to find a home.
But regardless of how much help and advice you get at some point you have to run head first into the brick wall and when you wake back up shake off the headache and try to learn from the experience. If you can't do that then you are correct this game might not be for you.
However I would guess that with the right corp you would like this game. But this game is not easy on quitters, it's more of a home for masochists.

A lot of us log in looking for that 'harrowing experience'. How many games get your blood pumping that much? How many recreational endeavors, where we never leave the safety and comfort of our chair, can get your hands shaking that much?
I'm not having a go at you btw, maybe we are just different. Some peoples idea of fun is a rollercoaster. Others hate them.
I'm an addict of the shakes.
Oh wow I did not realize people actually liked that feeling. I think you have shed some light not only on Eve for me and why I don't like PvP but life in general and why I always feel so different. Thank you. |

A square peg does not fit in a round hole. Is the peg wrong for being square? Do I blame the hole for being round? I was not trying to imply that the corp was bad only that it appears to not be a good fit for you.
As far as them taking chances on you no matter how much CCP tries to tell people that eve is real it's just a game and we are all here to have fun. This is not the USMC none of us signed a contract and promised to serve for any length of time. It's a game and we pay our $15 every month to have fun. The second it stops being fun we find some other way to occupy our free time.
I'm just trying to point out that your comments here make me feel like you are taking this game too seriously. If you are not having fun by all means find something that you enjoy. However by coming here I'm assuming that you are looking for some input and don't have your mind made up for sure or you likely would have just left silently. |

I'm not going to tell you that there is not a skill point gap between newer characters and older characters as obviously there is. What I am going to say is that if a newer player were to purchase a higher skill point character, which does happen from time to time, that the end result when engaging in competitive gameplay with older more experienced players would largely be the same. On the flipside of that when you become and older player and then start a new character, which many of us have done, you realize that your skill points were not what was holding you back.
So while I agree with you that older characters do have more skill points and those skill points do give them higher attributes I'm going to say that in all likelihood if you were given a higher skill point character the end result of your encounters with older players would be largely unchanged and in that regard it doesn't make much of a difference.

This game is very deep no doubt. Gaining: knowledge, experience and intel or the improved ability to gather and process intel and then using that: Knowledge, experience and improved intel gathering techniques to your advantage when engaging in competitive gameplay with other players is kind of the point of this game.
I say this as a player that does not enjoy nor seek out competitive gameplay so I'm not trying to justify my actions. I'm letting you know that these "older crap ball players" are playing the game according to it's intended design they are not exploiting some loophole or otherwise finding a way around the game design they are playing the game according to intended design.
You can make peace with that or not but that is eve.
Kick Axe Blackwing wrote: This game is indeed a "sandbox" because it allows you to be messed with almost everywhere in the game including supposedly safe space.
I'm not sure who told you that there was "safe space" in eve but they lied to you. I've been here in the NC Q&A section of the forums for a while and I can tell you that you did not read it here.
Kick Axe Blackwing wrote: Just buying and selling items can result in you being exploited. And if you don't think so you haven't done it long enough and don't understand what you are doing.
Again kinda the point of this game. What you are describing here is not some unintended subversion of the game rather how it is framed in marketing propaganda.
