Me and my bff are co-leaders in a 100+ player clan collection in LoL. We tried to play this game on 21 day trials for the first time, as research to migrate to a new game as LoL is getting old for just about everyone. We originally performed research on the game for one month. We setup a primitive business plan to form seventeen corporations with all of our members. I mostly used my bff account because they gave up early on but were higher in training and money than me.
There are three problems with this game:
#1: The game has no tutorials to guide the new player in any direction - even veterans we talked to said the career agents were tutorials but we got lost for days in them and did not learn anything new from them, besides the fact that this game is complex. While sometimes there were people in rookie help to help (like Mike and Seargent), that is ridiculous that a game is so hard to learn that other players have to waste their own time to show people how to play!
#2: The only people supporting this game recommended both of us to quit constantly. For example, If you check the top bounty hunters (if you can figure out how to), all of them say to quit the game in their biography. Even a hacker who called themselves a GM (which I guess is from a high corporation or something lol) tried to answer some questions and said something like "I'm here to see how you like the game" but they were not interested when we tried to chat with them and they just left in the middle of our frustration with a response like "too bad for you I g2g, cya", basically it felt like they were like, "yup. more people who are obviously going to quit like they should, why bother swaying their opinion"
#3: There is nothing really fun to do within the game: almost everything that we learned that looked fun was so risky that everybody who came by told us we were idiots. Both of us never died even once, but we saw over 100 people who did and we have no idea why. One time while in a 0.9 place, 11 red people came and tried to blow me up while i was in my hauler ship called the mammoth but I was already warping and when I went back there was wrecks of only a couple ships, so I almost died but I didn't. Even though we never died the risk is stupid high! Everyone who we asked to join our corporation said very reasonable excuses like, "no, for sure will your company will go to war, I have been playing for 10+ years", that is just stupid.
Wow luckily we were able to use the trial and collect footage showing our members why not to play! We would have been getting blown up all the time so we are really happy we used the trial to find that this game has nothing for any of us and we will be posting all of our recorded hours of play as fairly solid evidence of the three reasons written above to anyone who would like a 21 day trial summary in 20 hours of video.
Anyway I hope that our research will help other new players avoid wasting their time with this "game" Gÿ¦ |

You know, posting so that we can help you improve your experience is one thing. Posting to just complain because you didn't make the effort to get help (this is a help forum) makes me just want to recommend this thread for a lock. Really, you should ask for help here and at least try to implement the replies before ragequitting.
In other words you failed at your research, and therefore your conclusions are not valid.

The post is 100% fact, there is no "ragequitting" or "invalid conclusions", thank you for your opinions though :)
Also: if you could point me in the right direction, I will move the post (if possible) |

Are you going to stick around so I can address your post then. I'd love to help you guys, but if you're just drive-by-posting then I can't help you.
Your experience being 100% fact doesn't make the conclusions drawn from them true. You are looking through a fish-eye lens. And yes, making a "don't play eve and here's why" post and then quitting, is called rage quitting.

no im pretty sure its an opinion, heavily biased by your previous experiences with other mmo's and associated expectations.
WE are the content here, the community, the players. thats what eve is about, if you never got your head around that then yeah, "invalid conclusions" covers it pretty concisely.

If you are on trial, then this is the only forum you can post to.
I just wanted to put up a warning for other new players, that was the purpose of the post, nothing more, nothing less. Since the post contains only facts, I did not think it would be a problem.
I am on a trial still, so if a forum mod can move it then thats okay, as long as its where potential players go Gÿ¦
also @Ralph King-Griffin, eve has been continually dying for the past several years, see these (more factual information):

Ok, I wanted to wait for some response like this before I decided to detail the OP on how to have a better Eve experience. But a reply like that pretty much says it all. It doesn't matter what we say, you made up your mind already and nothing will change it.
Next time, you decide to try a game, try getting help on the help forums before forming any conclusions.

The factual footage made up others who agreed with us. I like though, how you think you can change facts, very interesting approach to a problem, reminds me of Spock. |

I don't claim to change facts. I claim the ability to enable you to properly understand the relevance of those facts. You saw over 100 die and have no idea why. I know exactly why. I can explain a lot of your OP that you don't know, but...

So why did they die and what were their names, I will verify via the footage to see how valid your statements are. |

I didn't say I knew their names.
You said "One time while in a 0.9 place, 11 red people came and tried to blow me up while i was in my hauler ship called the mammoth but I was already warping and when I went back there was wrecks of only a couple ships, so I almost died but I didn't."
If someone attacks you in HS, their ship WILL be blown up. There is no way around this. Sometimes you will arrive at a gate with hundreds of wrecks. This is known affectionately as a Concordokken. Any time a ship agresses illegally, concord will blow their ship up. This doesn't just include shooting players illegally, it can involve hitting neutral structures. Using a smart bomb or ECM Burst in HS can be ok, until you hit a neutral structure, then you find yourself in a pod and wondering why.

Oh I am sorry, I thought you said:
"You saw over 100 die [...] I know exactly why. ", I guess I was mistaken on what you said. I still wonder why all those people were blown up, also 52 of them are documented in 1.0 or 0.9 areas, there are more but they could not be identified in the video as a person or something else. If you somehow know about these 52 please explain.

Ok, maybe you just have poor communication skills. This is from the OP " Both of us never died even once, but we saw over 100 people who did and we have no idea why. One time while in a 0.9 place, 11 red people...(snip) " So grammatically, the "11 red people" is an example of the 100 people. So IF this is a valid example then I know exactly why the 100 died. Because the people in your example died from concord. If my answer is wrong, it can only be because your example is inaccurate. I don't have to specify 100 specific examples if the you do not specify 100 specific examples. In other words, an answer is given with the same degree of error as the question. If you want specifics, then you have to give specifics.
If you want to know why people die in a video, then you need to provide a link to the video.

All of the people we logged were killed by other people (while almost the same amount died from the police, and some died from pirates). We did not log even one person who got their ship destroyed by the police or pirates, and those people didn't even die anyway.
Also my mammoth was attacked by the outlaws when it was completely empty, I filled it up many times and was never attacked (other than when it was empty), even on my longest trade I jumped 29 times once through -0.1 and -0.2 areas. |

#1 is not a problem, it's a strength. I'm almost three years into the game and have done a lot but there are still aspects to it I've never experienced. EVE doesn't really ever get old like you seem to be experiencing with LoL, unless you deliberately put yourself in a rut. And I personally like the lack of tutorials and guides, as it lets me experience the rush of discovery. Encountering the same ol' known thing over and over gets boring fast.
#2 I guess I got lucky by falling in to a group of folks who make it a point to welcome in and teach new players. Are you trying to go it alone? I suggest joining an established newbro alliance to start - then you'll have some great experience and enthusiasm to draw upon.
#3 Nothing fun to do? There's tons of fun to be had. PvP. War. Market manipulation. Propaganda creation. Surprise attacks. Home defense. Escaping surprise attacks. Watch a super take a gate and blap a frig. Cloak up a few thousand klicks from a 1000-person battle and watch the explosions, then ninja salvage valuable modules. What have you tried so far that you didn't have fun with? |

"#1 is not a problem" we wasted so many hours to learn things that took seconds to do. Waste of time is a problem in my culture.
"Are you trying to go it alone?"
Our plan was to have my friends character get into a corporation to see how current corporations ran as most of the guides we studied were 3-5 years old.
We joined 16 different corporations, 4 of them claimed we were a spy and kicked within 1 day of joining. 3 corporations kicked and disbanded, so obvious reason for kick. 9 corporations kicked for unknown reasons, they never responded and/or blocked. We were recommended to 7 of the above corporations which had "friendly for new players" but they all kicked us. After the final corporation kicked us we decided to no longer waste time trying to join another corporation.
Not sure how you were able to stay in a corporation, you were very lucky.
#3 It is not probable to observe such a thing (1000 players battle? Where is this logged?? From what we gathered there were less than 10 such battles over EVEs existence (originally I misread 1000 players cloaked and was even more shocked)) We did check several major battles recently but nothing amounted to even 500 people. Also, why create an account to "do something fun", then go watch other people blow each other up, might as well go to twitch; there is nothing truly fun about EVE, and their player base and lack of interest is further proof |

Yes. The game is complex. So complex that not even veterans like myself (I have been playing since 2009) know everything. And even when you think you know everything about a certain subject, have specialized in every aspect of it... someone will come along and "school you" in such a way that you feel like a nubbin all over again. Or you will make a colossal mistake and die in a fire because you forgot one tiny detail.
That is the challenge. That is the point. That is what gets you engaged with other players (for better or worse).
It is the "rat race" of EVE!!

That is like a couple of fresh-faced 20-somethings asking the biggest dickheads at the roughest biker bar how to succeed in a new town. A town where everyone just so happens to be armed with anti-matter and nuclear warheads.
Go back to square one. Start small. Understand that "experiential learning" (learning by doing, failing, doing again, rinse and repeat) and "social learning" (being tutored and invested in by others) is rewarded FAR more than doing tons of personal research before "taking a step forward."
This is why many veterans recommend that newbies join up with established corporations** that have been around for awhile.
**NOTE: when I say "established corporation" I mean a corp that has been around for more than 6+ months. Corporations are a dime a dozen in EVE and most are burned or consumed by other corporations. So you want to be with people who know how to defend themselves and survive in the hostile environment that is EVE.

Everyone who we asked to join our corporation said very reasonable excuses like, "no, for sure will your company will go to war, I have been playing for 10+ years", that is just stupid. It sounds like your Mammoth encountered an age old tactic of EVE: "Suicide Ganking"
Basically... no where in EVE is "safe" by the contemporary standards of other MMOs.
You can be blown up by others players in "High Security" space if... - another corporation/alliance pays a fee to the NPCs for the privilege to shoot you. - players are willing to sacrifice their ships to the NPC police (the police will kill them anywhere between 5 to 15 seconds after they attack you... the NPCs will not make any attempt to save your ship).
Understand... "High Security" does not mean "total security." It never has. It never will. It means "high safety relative to other areas of the game."
And you can be shot at with relative impunity in other areas of the game. 
As for corporations...
"How to Make a Successful Corp in EVE" (yes... it is parody... but there are kernels of truth in it)
People say you will be war decced probably because you are too new. You have not established yourself. You have no record. You have proven nothing. If you successfully blow up a few ships and/or survive a few months... that may change. These things take time. No instant "HAY!! Join us giaz and lets go raiding! La dee da dee da...!"
Attitude also plays a part in it as well. It is pretty easy to identify people who are too naive and/or may fall apart when faced with a situation that has gone "sideways" (and things in EVE often do).
People who also "expect" results (see: entitlement) are a universally favored target among the playerbase. The tears of such players are so, very savory... mmmmmphgffff... *shudders*
Again... we recommend that newbies attach themselves to established veterans. I would go further and say to attach yourself to a PvP veteran.
Show some spunk and decorum. They love that! They may even reward you for your ballsiness!

The reason you kept being kicked is obvious, You're confrontational, argumentative and Simply looking for your preconceived notions about how this game should be to be affirmed.
In the space of about 40minets you managed to hack off two of the most patient and well intentioned people on the forums.
Stop demanding the game cater to you, stop the aggressive attitude twords the community, it's largely dictating our reaction to you And we ARE eve.

Newbies who ask questions and want to improve themselves are given more attention and advice than they can handle. Those are the kinds of players who stick around in EVE in the long run.

@ShahFluffers: (p.s: the quote did not appear, it will not appear for some reason)
"not even veterans like myself (I have been playing since 2009) know everything": this proves #1 more than me typing: The game is impossible to understand, and thus more un-enjoyable.
"You tried to talk with players that earned so much ire from other players that they have a monetary sum placed on their heads for their destruction"
I said bounty hunters.
"This is why many veterans recommend that newbies join up with established corporations** that have been around for awhile." tried this multiple times, they all kicked us for unknown reasons - it is assumed that we were thought as a spy, but fairly certain not what spy means in english - to this day we are baffled on what thehy meant as a spy and why they would kick a spy or what a spy could even do lol.
"Basically... no where in EVE is "safe"", in other words the game is always risky, thus more un-enjoyable.
"Show some spunk and decorum. They love that! They may even reward you for your ballsiness!" I told several people they could trust me and that I would send them my 1.2bil wallet and they could send it back to me so we could trust each other and I was usually blocked immediately after that. We both tried many different tactics in an attempt to stay in a corporation but we never succeeded. Usually the harder we tried, the more we were called spies - we were denied applications sometimes after saying we would send the person our wallet.
Maybe we were verrrrry unlucky in our ~40 day test across these accounts, but that is improbable. |

I will send you a link to the videos we are uploading to YouTube so your conclusions can be cleared. in order to obtain completely unbias results we followed the rules (as you will see in the footage): - we made the rule that we would not make a negative statement while in game toward a person - we made the rule to never contradict anyone while in game - we made the rule that we would not damage anything in game if it could possibly cause another person a loss - even at a cost to ourselves (although more acceptable things like buying low and selling high were okay)
It is odd how many conclusions people jump to, the 3 things in the original post are based on pure factual information nearly 30 people have concluded it to be true, based solely on the footage we gathered. |
