I'm considering leaving the game. The game gives too much power to those who have ben around for a long time.
Even the $15 doesn't seem worth the wait for a better fighting capability.
Any reason why I should stay?

Lol, my first year was extremely fun! i got myself Frigate 5, a cov Ops, An inty, ---> roll on 5 months and i was in my abaddon  and shoosting people...
The game will only be as fun as you let it be, your getting into that "omg people are better than me"  mindset, which tbh, is utter ****E, so cut it out and enjoy the game for what it is, and can be.

well ive been playing for a month now and i am having a great time. I admit that i did get bored after the intial 3 day hype but then i joined a corp.
although everyone wont be as lucky as me in finding a corp, i really think that they are what makes eve so fun. PvPing or PvE is boring if you do it on your own for too long, but with good people then you can do it forever.
so if you havent found a corp then get one. or if your corp is rubbish convo me and we can talk.

It doesn't take too long to get into an interceptor. So gang up with some people
an shoot that 30mil SP veteran. It is definately possible - and it is fun.

Someone who has been around for a long time will definitely be ahead of other pilots point wise. Thats not to say you can't quickly catch up with them if you focus your training. Get into a good corp and you can be contributing in a few days. Sure, you'll be dieing a lot in the process, but you learn the ropes that way and not that long after you can start getting into some bigger ships and doing some of the killing on your own.

even a 5 year player is only as good as the people he flys with, 4 sub one year pilots could pwn a 5 year pilot in the right situation, its about tactics
your right a sub 1 year pilot vs a 5 year pilot in the same ship 1v1 will lose, so just dont get in that situation lol

Try playing WoW. I dont mean that in a flamey way. I mean try an MMO where the whole emphasis is on grinding up to level 70 as soon as possible, as the whole game focus is on end-game which then requires you to spend 50 hours a week in a raiding guild.
Give it some more time, and just chill and find your niche.

Just this weekend, I spent about 5 hours in a friendly frigate tourney fighting 50-70 mil sp PvP characters. Did I lose? Yes. Did I have a blast doing it? Of course! Did I learn a lot from the experience? Yes. The bottom line is, the game is what you make of it. Instead of wondering how you are going to catch up with those vets, specialise in your training, and make friends with a few of them. Learn from them and that will in turn make you a better pilot to cast your own shadow, instead of standing in those cast by others.

I've been having fun consistently for the past 2.5 years.
If you're worried about me having a massive advantage over you, just have more than 750K SP in gunnery and you've got me beat.

My first months were some of my most fun times in EVE! That inital feeling of "this game is HUGE," exploring systems, joining your first good corp, and group activities, and that general buzz of noobiness that I found to be actually enjoyable.
Let the old folks have their power. And, being old doesn't automatically put you in power. You have to get it yourself, and that can be done without 60 million skillpoints. You just need some organization and some good leadership skills (real-life leadership, here).
I've been roudn nearly 2 years myself and I'm still very poor. But I don't mind. Play however you enjoy eve, and if all you want is power, well, start using your brain and not your crappy T1 equipment to get it :).

Hmmm. I guess all this fun I thought I've been having wasn't real. I've been playing less than a year and I could have sworn I was having fun. I guess not.

I've been playing 5 years now and have had my ass handed to me a few times by much younger players. Long life in Eve gives advantages (greater flexibility) but it sure as hell doesn't give you dominance, you ability as a player makes the biggest difference.

If you can't figure out anything past "boohoo someone has more SP then me" then leave.

I've only been playing a couple of months, so I feel particularly qualified to answer this question.
Yes.
Yes it can.
Very fun, in fact.

Hell, that doesn't need interceptors. 10 something players in just plain tech 1 fitted tech 1 frigates (or 5 in destroyers) = good bye tech 2 fitted battleship with high sp player, without a single loss for the frigates (provided the people in the frigates have a semblance of a clue as to how to fight).

You can have fun but yes new players are shut out of a lot of aspects of the game.
It is almost impossible to form a new corp from scratch build it up and take any 0.0 space. It is a flaw in the game but one at this point I'm not sure how CCP could fix.
You can join some of the existing 0.0 corps/alliances though and enjoy it through them, though I admit that's not as rewarding.
