I really want to get into the this game, but my stance is this:
From what I've come to understand is that you upgrade based on real life time. So when I first signed on I thought, all 26,000 players on at this moment, are better than me, and always will be. Why would I want to play a game in which I have no hope to kill anyone who made their account before me (I very much enjoy PVP).
PLEASE, prove me wrong and tell me I don't understand.
Honestly? Its stupid to even think of it like this...
Think of it this way: Why are you even alive? You should have been killed when you were born because everyone else on the earth already had a head start on you.....
Besides, just because they are "older" than you doesn't mean they are always going to be better than you at ALL things. Find a particular thing you like and do it. Within a couple of months you can surpass 80% of your potential competitors. Skill points are less important than player skill...
get a grip, eve is a game not a life. you spend a great deal of time in life doing things you dont necessarily want to do to be able to enjoy yourself some of the time.
a game shouldnt need you to do the first to achieve the second. of course a lot of people really dont know how to enjoy themselves so let themselves be drawn into a false sense of enjoyment like doing a mission for the 10th time with exactly the same setup ship so that they can enjoy a little bit of freedom of choice.
what people say about specialization is true, you can fly a high level ship well after a short amount of time, but the problem is that this is your only choice.
for the older player, the choices are far more vast. the older players tend not to need to worry about isk because they already have their 1b isk pimp mobile to do missions in no time at all, or they have gone down the trade or mining path etc.
people say oh just plug in a set of +5s, hehe yeah, forget about isk again.
the development path is quite obvious for older players, lvl 1 missions, lvl 2 missions, cheap set of implants, train straight for bs and rep/mechanic and cap, do lvl 3s buy better implants.. get some for free, do lvl 4s buy faction mods for bs and never have to worry about isk, then you can do what you want in eve.
trade can make a lot, but has been spoiled by the numbers in eve now, so trade is a good thing to carry alongside the missioning.
now pvp. it doesnt matter that you can fly the same ship with the same fittings, more often than not, it comes down to how diverse you can be and how much time you have to spend not earning isk.
for example if you scored a t2 bpo in the early days, your wealth or need to grind for isk is virtually nil. you can ride off the suckers that need to buy the end product. this is a natural progression and it has to exist to keep older players interested.
what it means is that the older players in general need less time and commitment to tasks to enjoy the game it was made to be enjoyed, and this MUST go with the older player to keep interest. ie dreads, then carriers etc, it is neverending. this peek of the game (whatever it is at the time) will always be out of the reach of the player starting now apart from character selling. nobody can deny that, but it is not necessary to enjoy the pvp action in the game.
