Hello everyone I'm Endar, a cheep knock off of Ender Wiggin. I started playing eve a week ago and it is pretty fun so far. I'm pretty much have an understanding of all the game mechanics and ways to play. Everything but PVP that is. That is only from after reading on boards and making a few ventures out into 0.0 that you really need more than 300k in SP ;P
What I'm writing about is all these "vets" on the boards that thing Eve is the first and only place that PVP has ever been. Granted I'm only really started MMRPOGS back in the release of UO (charter edition box is teh pretty), but quake II, UT, heck even doom 3 when free-looking mouse would have people saying wtf? Anyways a lot of the "vets" on eve really have drop the idea that noobs in Eve have no clue on how to dominate a game. You are writting on how characters with 3-4 months you can 1337 but really, alot of these noobs if they had the skill points as you did would win hands down. Why you ask? Well we have played so many diffrent games that we know to look for the most overpowered/cheapest/exploits (read however not cheating ;)
It is not how you play a game in particular, it is how aware you are on the big picture of how to operate with your buddies to kill people. I'm so sick of hearing all these noober-vets who probably don't even know what a 386, much less how to adapt to new things (read all of us who have been pwning people for 10 years + in games). So stop, remove head from ____ and I'll back these words up in a about 3-4 months once I get the SPs ;)
I'll tell you right now, if an experienced player were to start training a new character now, he would still own you, not because of skill points, but because he knows what he's doing, and has been doing it for awhile. I've killed many a people with more experience points than me, it might be because of my skill point placement (all my points were placed for pvp) but that's only a small part, my experience was greater, and so was my knowledge of the game.
Ontop of it all, to give an example of how skill points mean almost nothing after a certain extent. I've seen fleets of 20+ bs' fall to enemies with half thier numbers, it is leadership and experience that allows this to happen.
