So what do you find to be the harshes thing about eve?
For me it is the attributes.
The never ending thought of my attributes being set wrongly, but at the time I didnĘt really care, but now after 3years and max learning skills + 5implants and still looking over them thinking that if I had just set them different I would have had 5 more in per and 4 more in wis (I am a combat pilot).
And the pain it is to know that if I have to get the most out of it I will need to make a new char and lose those 25m+ sp I gathered.
That is what I find the harshest in eve.

The waiting for the skills I want, its also a good part of Eve - the anticipation of flying a new ship/ using a new weapon etc.

I would have to go with...not sure what the right word for it is, so I will call it the "No Luv" syndrome this game seems to foster.
It happens to all of us growing up in this game. For me, it was the usual "Concord Schmoncord, I hate cops!" "Besides they wont mind if I clear up a bit of this space junk to figure out how to shoot my guns" *squeaky scraping noise* "My ship turned into an egg!"
Anyways, the other day, there was this guy who had been in the republic military school for like 2 hours. The interesting thing was that he was blinky red to everybody in Rens! Not sure how he got that way, but I watched him get podded like 6 times while I was parked in the handicapped zone repping my hull.
He would drift out of the station in his reaper intermingled with a domni, a raven and a claymore and as soon as he hit the end of the launch rope *boom* 10 seconds later, here he comes again! LOL!

1. Time it takes to skill up all the different skills you need.
2. Losing in the hundreds of millions of isk from desync/lag.
3. Not being able to choose where 100% of your attributes go when starting a character.
4. Not being able to make a custom character that just gives you a "pool" of SP to spend on whatever skills you want when you start a new character.
5. Some of the skill choices CCP thought up when making a new character is absolutely pathetic. Caldari with Gunnery 5? Uh, yah.

The time it takes to skill up for a really good ship. However, this is also one of the best features because it means not everyone will be flying the same ships as me.
So overall, I like this harsh aspect!

What makes EVE harsh?
That this game can be as simple as pew-pew-pop or as frustratingly complex as trying to avoid having to buy something in Jita.
That you can spend hours fitting out your ship, studying numerous confusing tanking guides and curse the powers the be when 10 reasons is given why that you can't fit just that one more module on your ship... and to see it all go pop at the next gate-camp.
That you are so far behind most other players in skill-points that you can never quit.
That an high IQ may get you Mensa membership - but in EVE you can't even calculate the speed in which those 3 white bars turn into 3 red bars once the s*** starts to hit the fan.

the retrospective Eve manual, 20:20 hindsight is harsh.

Losses hurt. I can easily outfit a tackling int for 12-40mil depending on hull costs and fittings. 40mil being t2 setup without rigs. Or I could build a 200+mil monster int that could still pop to a bad luck or a lachesis.
Point is, even the 12mil fitting is a loss after the insurance.

Training to level 4 takes only a day or two on some kills and then training ot level 5 on that same skill will be like 20-30 something days? Yay I get to pay CCP to train only 1 skill a month to level 5 for $15 bucks.

I would say the inaccessibility of 0.0 and low sec to inexperienced pilots (and even moderately experienced ones). 0.0 is ruled by large corps that want nothing to do with new players and lowsec is ruled by vicious pirates who kill anything they can find.
And 0.0 is where most of the ISK is generated which is total bull****. Why should people who have played the game for years be able to make the most money? You look at most games and its diminishing returns as you get more experienced (levels take longer, etc.). In EVE, the more you play, the higher your returns are. It means that veterans have more and more of a reason to keep playing while new players are chased away very quickly. It took two stalled attempts over 2 years before I finally played for more than two weeks because of that.

Show me a game where thats true please.
Sure isn't in Everquest. Only highest levels can handle camping the newest equipment which was the most valuable. Most stuff 1 expansion old is vendor trash or ends up on my skelly.
Not UO, where the higher skills would increase kill time dramatically. The difference between a 90 skill melee and a GM(100) skill was obscene. Now with the older players able to camp scrolls to hit 120 its even more pronounced.
Not SWG, where the best kill skills for pve often came with the master tag. The difference between a Max commando tree and anything else was rather damned significant. Same for Bounty hunter, Lightning shot2 4tw.
I MIGHT give ya Ragnarok Online, if you want that, where the ability to take good skills earlier in a characters life makes the most difference, but eh.

I'd say the harshest thing about Eve is the sheer difficulty in being reimbursed for significant flaws in the client and/or server software that causes you to lose ships.
Take for example, and I'm dealing with this right now, you pre-align a mining ship for warp so as to escape quickly in case rats come to your roid field. Sure enough, rats come and you click the "warp to" button in the overview, with the pre-aligned planet selected, but instead of warping instantly your ship spirals out of control and points toward empty space. This results in you losing 200 mil in ship/modules, as you try repeatedly to warp out (using different methods like right-click planet, overview, etc.) but the ship will not attempt to properly align, but instead point to a new random direction. This is all with no warp jams applied to your ship.
CCP has stated that cases like this are non-refundable. Not only that, but it falls on YOU, the customer, to gather logs and information and duplicate the situation on the test server, and then submit detailed bug reports. And even if by some stroke of luck you manage to trigger the same bug and prove it, CCP has stated that this will not increase chances of reimbursement, it will only prevent other players from running into the same bug (assuming it is fixed).
So that's the harshest thing about Eve IMO, the fact that we have to fix their software for them and get nothing for it, even though your loss was their fault in the first place.
-Ziggy
P.S. If anyone knows the correct forum where I can get dev/mod attention with this and good public exposure, please let me know.

Losses. I haven't had a huge loss myself but I see people reacting very strongly when they lose a lot of stuff. Be it losing an expensive ship to pirates, or falling vitim to scam, or being betrayed by someone who you thought was your friend as in cases of corp theft. When people lose 90-99% of their possessions which they took many months if not years to acquire they start thinking about leaving the game.

Client/server performance.
The endless recent (well, not quite so "recent") unscheduled/accidental downtimes, the prolonged downtimes after a patch, the ever-decreasing (FPS-wise) performance of the client with no significant gameplay improvement, the omnipresent lag both in crowded and less crowded systems due to the almighty "only on downtime" load balancing, the UI freezes in the most awkward or critical moments... and so on and so forth.

a) missions can generate more isk than 0.0 ratting, if you're good at missions and don't have access to 'the best' ratting areas
b) 0.0 is a friendly place. Seriously. Sure, gatecamps are a pain in the butt, but meh. Suck it up. 0.0 itself is warm and friendly. It has a rep of NBSI, you get shot just cause you're a neut, you get podded because they can tell your pectorals are too small... etc... but really 1) it's basically empty most of the time so you can rat/mission unless you're dumb, 2) if you're a nice guy, the locals welcome you, unless you're dumb. See the pattern? It's not your SP, it's YOU. I'm very sure a 2 month old newb could come down, talk intelligently and respectfully, and get a corp invite pretty quickly.
I've recently relocated to 0.0 and I love it there. The locals are happy to see me. Heck, I came into a station obviously being camped by nasties, and all I had to do was ask in local was 'so, what's going on?' They replied... 'bad timing dude, don't undock'. So, yah, I'm a neut and they'd gank me if I undocked, but they politely responded to me and warned me... unlike high-sec, where some lame duck griefer suicides your freighter w/o so much as a 'by your leave'.
I'm happy where I am, tbh. Screw high-sec.
Seriously.
Unless you're red, or stupid or mouthy or a one day old alt;) Then I'll gank you

For me it is the attributes.
The never ending thought of my attributes being set wrongly, but at the time I didnĘt really care, but now after 3years and max learning skills + 5implants and still looking over them thinking that if I had just set them different I would have had 5 more in per and 4 more in wis (I am a combat pilot).
And the pain it is to know that if I have to get the most out of it I will need to make a new char and lose those 25m+ sp I gathered.
That is what I find the harshest in eve.

Have to agree on it being the attributes.
I'll never really come to terms with having to deal with an error I made 4 years ago (Industry seemed exciting back then  ).

So what do you find to be the harshes thing about eve?
For me it is the attributes.
The never ending thought of my attributes being set wrongly, but at the time I didnĘt really care, but now after 3years and max learning skills + 5implants and still looking over them thinking that if I had just set them different I would have had 5 more in per and 4 more in wis (I am a combat pilot).
And the pain it is to know that if I have to get the most out of it I will need to make a new char and lose those 25m+ sp I gathered.
That is what I find the harshest in eve.
------------------------------
Have to agree on it being the attributes.
I'll never really come to terms with having to deal with an error I made 4 years ago (Industry seemed exciting back then ).
yah, this does suck. I 'sort of' made the right choices, but I still have 3 more points in charisma I could have put somewhere else... and maybe a point less in intelligence.
Too bad there weren't Achura when I was born (grumbles).
At least I didn't choose 'intaki'

the learning curve :-)
As I learn new stuff I realize that I don't have the skills needed to use that module that I didn't know existed. And it seams that it never ends.

(Ab)using game mechanics discouraging to help newbies.
There are a couple of tactics used by (older) players, that make it really a PITA to help a new char to find it's way into the game. Yes, I know there are ways around those tactics. But they're troublesome, uncomfortable, annoying. And most of the time I decide to not to go out of my way to help a (supposedly) newbie therefore.
I'm not concerned about me losing a ship. If I do so (hasn't happend yet), well, my fault (and loss). I'm more worried about the new players who might feel like everybody is turning their cold back towards them or ignoring them.

How hard it is to make money if you don't want to be in a corp.
Also the stab nerf.

5. Some of the skill choices CCP thought up when making a new character is absolutely pathetic. Caldari with Gunnery 5? Uh, yah.
Seriously! I mean what Caldari ships use guns anyway?

Training to level 4 takes only a day or two on some kills and then training ot level 5 on that same skill will be like 20-30 something days? Yay I get to pay CCP to train only 1 skill a month to level 5 for $15 bucks.
Since I have posted my graph a few times lately. You're getting this one instead. But rest assured, it means the same thing:
I dont get it. what does this picture mean?

I would say the inaccessibility of 0.0 and low sec to inexperienced pilots (and even moderately experienced ones). 0.0 is ruled by large corps that want nothing to do with new players and lowsec is ruled by vicious pirates who kill anything they can find.
And 0.0 is where most of the ISK is generated which is total bull****. Why should people who have played the game for years be able to make the most money? You look at most games and its diminishing returns as you get more experienced (levels take longer, etc.). In EVE, the more you play, the higher your returns are. It means that veterans have more and more of a reason to keep playing while new players are chased away very quickly. It took two stalled attempts over 2 years before I finally played for more than two weeks because of that.
The above is myth, not fact.
