Hevymetal POT Corp 446	Posted - 2017.06.08 19:13:43 - [1] - Quote Going back to when you started Eve, if you knew then, what you know now, what would you do different? Myself I would have entered 0.0 earlier and would not have spent a ton of skill points on science. Also I would have spent a majority of my ISK on T2 BPO's when the lotttery was still going..

I wouldn't have listened to the people in the 1st player corp I join who told me that I should not leave high sec until I had a certain amount of skills and isk so i wasted my entire 1st year of EVE running lvl 4 missions. I joined Faction warfare on it's 1st day and was living in null 4 months after than and wanted to kick myself for missing out on so much fun and so much wealth.

I would quit and look for other games, exactly as I did 7 years, 1200 euros and a milion words too late. OTOH, I could be addicted to things far worse than EVE Online...

You couldve had a drink every week for about the same at a fancy pub Im sure drunk arguing with people would account for the million words. Have you heard anything I've said? You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right? That's right. Had to end sometime.
Netan MalDoran Reckless-Endangerment Manifesto. 288	Posted - 2017.06.08 20:31:30 - [5] - Quote Bought a **** ton of PLEX when it was only like 200-300mil each "Your security status has been lowered." - Hell yeah it was! Falcon's truth

Mr Epeen It's All About Me 11363	Posted - 2017.06.08 20:55:33 - [7] - Quote I would have started training skills. As it was, I was playing for three days before someone asked me what I was training. "Training", I said, "What the hell is that?" Not much of a tutorial back then. Mr Epeen
Tipa Riot Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 3754	Posted - 2017.06.08 21:01:07 - [8] - Quote EvE would probably be a lot less fun and more frustrating, because doing stuff inefficiently and again if you already know how to play on max is't so much fun. Building up everything again?... nope. EvE is a journey. I'm my own NPC alt.

Myself I would have entered 0.0 earlier and would not have spent a ton of skill points on science. Also I would have spent a majority of my ISK on T2 BPO's when the lotttery was still going.. Once i was thinking about stuff like that but RL. What if i could go into my past and change something? Not being fantastic-minded person i decided that i would change nothing really. The reason is simple: all this stuff led to what i'm not and how i live. I can live with it the more the less well. But what would be result of my changes? Will it make my happier? I don't know. Maybe i'm already too old but yeah, i decided that whatever happened - happened. My success, my mistakes, my losses. It's all my history. Talking about EvE: the same is here. I'm ok with me 7 years into the game. I'm not the richest and i'm far from even moderate level of pvp. But i'm here and having fun. So let it be this way.

Jones Beach Bagel and Lox 12	Posted - 2017.06.08 23:38:53 - [14] - Quote For my main I would have picked a character name that didn't start with the letter "a." That way I wouldn't be the first person everyone sees in local.
Mark O'Helm Fam. Zimin von Reizgenschwendt 342	Posted - 2017.06.09 01:09:05 - [15] - Quote I would not have sold the 6 plex wich i bought for 106 Gé¼ to the next best buyer for 600 mill isk each and would not have bought a 500 mill isk carrier skill bock that i have never have trained and later sold for quite less money.

Pix Severus Empty You 6608	Posted - 2017.06.09 04:36:50 - [17] - Quote I would have bought all the PLEX back when it was under 300m ISK. I would have placed containers at gates saying "In the near future, Donald Trump will be president of the US", and today I would be hailed as a prophet.

Lfod Shi Lfod's Ratting and Salvage 392	Posted - 2017.06.09 20:49:13 - [24] - Quote I'd divide up character skills earlier. Meaning: My main (this one) trail blazed everything. Now I use my main for combat, a secondary for mining and manufacture, and a third for hauling and selling. GÖ¬ They'll always be bloodclaws to me GÖ½

Sethyrh Nakrar 203	Posted - 2017.06.10 04:01:52 - [28] - Quote I would probably not sold that dammed Plex I found in a wreck to buy that Immolator..... It diet with a stupid fit. Activating it would have been smarter. Also. Ignoring corporations for years. I missed the chance of so much fun and motivation to do more than sneak every now and than in the game with a stupid trial. I only realy found a connection to this game last year. Such wasted time..... Praise the Omnissiah!

Isuro Tanaka Perkone Caldari State 0	Posted - 2017.06.10 11:47:47 - [30] - Quote Honestly if I knew how addicted I was going to get between 2011 and 2015? I would have never started playing to begin with. That being said, if I didn't care about that, I would have gotten into 0.0 to start with instead of wasting time in hisec mining and doing missions.

I would do just the same. I just enjoy it.
Drago Shouna Royal Amarr Institute Amarr Empire 743	Posted - 2017.06.10 13:32:59 - [32] - Quote Considering that they have virtually wiped out meaningful solo play... I'd probably never start playing. Solecist Project...." They refuse to play by the rules and laws of the game and use it as excuse ..."

flakeys Caldari Provisions Caldari State 3301	Posted - 2017.06.10 14:58:56 - [33] - Quote I would do nothing differently . We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

Just wait until winter comes and see what's in store for Empire dwellers. Three words: standings-locked content. If you work for one faction, the other factions will drop standings so fast that you'll be effectively locked from working for them. Admittedly I've only heard it from one source so take it with a pinch of salt, but it's so insane that it could be true.
Othran Route One 786	Posted - 2017.06.10 16:28:33 - [35] - Quote The honest answer for those of us who've been around for over a decade is : "I wish I'd never started playing". Regardless of how much fun you've had & friends made, the years of playtime (I mean real-time) and forum whoring is pretty scary if you add it up. There's an old 90's TV show called Red Dwarf & an episode called "Back to Reality" where they "discover" they've been in a VR game for two years. I'm 99% sure I've spent more than a year (real-time) playing Eve since 2003 The scary part is some peeps probably have spent more than 2 years (real-time) playing Eve. Oh & I don't mean AFK but active play. Of course it only looks like "wasted time" when you leave/stop actively playing. Well played CCP
Jamwara DelCalicoe Ashley Dissidence Dawn The-Culture 428	Posted - 2017.06.10 17:45:37 - [36] - Quote PvP would be the immediate focus of my skill training forever and Corp Mgmt III because you never know ... amirite? Thank me later :D
Spudgun School of Applied Knowledge Caldari State 0	Posted - 2017.06.10 23:36:03 - [37] - Quote I would never have "befreinded" anyone in this game and helped out many others. They will turn around and fk you over the first chance they get for anything from 200mil isk to a quick shiney kill.

Blade Darth Room for Improvement Limited Expectations 228	Posted - 2017.06.11 04:07:05 - [39] - Quote Move to null faster, dip into wh's faster. Do drops faster. I spent a week or two too long doing L4's and incursions, feels like wasted two weeks. Join a corp faster, start using EFT faster, experiment with pve and pvp fits faster... Stop giving 2 fuks about losing experimental derpfits faster. Learn how to fly an interceptor faster. And other things (faster). Omen Navy Issue Tutorial

Incredibly doubtful that CCP would do such a thing, but it'd be pretty interesting if they did. Might be the groundwork for that four-way faction warfare they've been talking about for a while.

So far it's the only specific thing I've heard about Winter release and it's something that popped from a random encounter in GTA Online, but as I said it's so insane that could be true. Nobody would make up something like this.

Clearly I am a bad judge of character, but after spending 2-3 hrs a night with a person in com's for some times a year you'd expect some sort of comraderie. But just look at the crime forum pages and all the long running scams in EVE it is obvious. Cyber bullies and griefers come to eve to thrive. Can't help feel sorry for them though as they probabaly get bullied in RL.

Myself I would have entered 0.0 earlier and would not have spent a ton of skill points on science. Also I would have spent a majority of my ISK on T2 BPO's when the lotttery was still going.. 1. Not quit for large chunks of time. Even when I started the money was never a big deal... I should have just kept paying (and skilling) when I wanted to take a year or two off. 2. Focus on research agents from the start. First for the T2 BPO... then for datacores before they became not as profitable. 3. Join a corp way quicker than I did. 4. Get out to Null way quicker than I did. 5. Buy loads of plex early and hold until late. 6. Never spend gift aurum on skins and clothes... because eventually they'd turn into mini-plex. 7. Much more focused skill training. I have lots of sp in stuff on my main toons that are not used (at least not on those toons). 8. Station trading. I didn't even bother looking at it until my latest trip back to EVE (November). I had no idea how semi-passive station trading (every other day updating orders) could rack up significant isk (for me at least).
