I've experienced exactly what the op is talking about. Was chatting to some guildies the other day about my new addiction. The first thing one of them said: "You're playing eve? Why would you play a game where the dev's are allowed to cheat?", the second thing he said "Don't the owners allow you to buy gold for cash in that game?" As far as online reputation goes, eve's is worse than mud among the general community. CCP might one day be able to get over its shady history, but I don't see it happening any time soon.

but doesn't your objection apply much less to EvE than to other MMOs?
Well, this is just my view, but I'd dare say it applies far moreso to eve than any other game. In any other game, I can play and get more powerful- if I put 12 hours in in a single day I'll be 4x as far along as someone who spent 3. In eve, it isn't like that. If I want to fly x ship, it'll take y weeks and there's not a damn thing I can do to change it. Leads to a lot more playing fps' while you're waiting for a certain skill to train

Well, you can blame all that on ******* Alliance. There was ONE instance of ONE dev cheating and this certian alliance
That's just it though- that one instance, not the second one, was enough to do it, the goon's attempt at a second just rubbed salt in the wound. Eve hasn't just been seen like this for a month or so, the original t20 incident, combined with the fact he wasn't fired was all it took.

You are not keeping in mind that mud > general MMO community.
EVE does not need a massive influx of WoW-ites. The type of people that are going to be long-term EVE subscribers are most likely a bit more patient and investigative then a typical casual MMO player considering this games depth.
.... Lol. If you think this game has more depth to it and is less casual than the wow endgame, you've obviously never passed level 10 in that game . For all our posturing, once you've played eve for a week it's the simplest game around

Err, I don't think you fully grasp what's going on in Eve just yet. How can you compare mindless raiding to the politics and economics in Eve?
I'll grant that the politics and economics is a fair chunk more complicated than in any other mmog. I was more discussing the more general, day to day gameplay such as mission running and pvp. However, the only people who generally think raiding is mindless is the people who can't do it or quit raiding due to frustration. But this is off-topic, so it's the last post I'll make on the subject, just couldn't let that post slide, more members of the community need it beaten into them that this game isn't the hardcore nirvana they think it is.
