I guess i was thinking about how you gain skills, if someone has a year on you, you can’t really ever catch up and stand a chance, but cheaters and exploiters can. Hard for me to explain, but it seems that EvE is tempting for people to exploit, as it has more real gains than other games. Don’t get me wrong, i still play EvE and love parts of it, but for someone like me who plays solo a lot, scandals in the game make it less attractive for me and a pain. Say if someone in WoW was friends with a GM and the GM gave them the best gear, it wouldn’t really affect me, as i rarely PvP in it and more just goof around. In Eve, that person can make the game a pain to play. I’ve heard people say “EvE keeps out the noobs”, but i personally think EvE could be so much more if it had a more diverse player group, and more control behind the scenes.

Exploits abound.

Also, I heard BoB’s tower’s were coing out of reinforced, so they pulled the servres. :tinfoil:

When another decent space mmo comes out, i’ll never look at EvE again.

As crazy as it might sound I like the relaxation of mining in 1.0 space and playing with numbers to see what things I could squeeze out of ship if I were “hardcore”. I’ll agree it has more than it’s share of drama queens though :) Minimize chat ftw!

So, is EVE Online a secret game industry conspiracy? “Look, Blizzard, Sony, and NCSoft will pay us to take these assholes off of their hands. I don’t know, just make something that rewards sociopathic attention whores for being themselves. No, besides webcams. This is for the ‘smart’ ones.”
