Originally by: Jusukisuki Why should i stick to Eve instead of WoW? anyone? WoW -Teambased, less/no lagg, no grinding forever to get new stuff cause you just got ganked by 100 others. Eve -"teambased", lagg, its all a big grind..
Why do some prefer a beef steak before fresh fish? Why do some prefer wine before beer? Why do some prefer pizza before hamburgers? Why do some prefer action movies before thriller movies? Why do some prefer winter before summer? Why do some prefer to vacationing on the mountains than the beach? Why do some prefer EVE before WoW?
Its all about taste.

Actually, its more about marketing then taste. This is why backstreet boys, britney spears, etc, became #1. You can take any two-bit act and throw them on stage and find an audience that will enjoy it. Its all about the marketing.

Depends how intelligent someone is though. Personally I only go out on what I want, beef over fish, wine over beer. etc I despise most if not all marketing ploys that are being used in 'modern' day society.
Edit, as for EVE, It's a combination of; I have put in a lot of time and effort into my account(s) already, lack of proper competition in this MMO genre (spaceships pewpew). As well as the best economy in a game I've ever seen. It would be hard to make a different Spaceship MMO game with an equal market without being called 'you just copied EVE' by the ignorant population(trolls) of the internet.

Originally by: Rheige Bladewhisper Of course this is so different from EVE, where you're able to start off in a good ship right away! And you're able to fly the ship you want off the bat! We certainly don't have to spend months of training to actually be competent here in EVE! And even if we did, it'd certainly not be something that we didn't have any personal control whatsoever on the speed of!
I can't agree with this. First you have control on the speed of training skills. You can buy implants, train learning skills and use neural remaps. You can't grind skills but why the hell would that be a bad thing? Some may prefer it but it's all a matter of taste.
Secondly - in my 3 months of playing the game the only time I had to "wait" for skills to finish training is right now for my t2 drone skills. And that's only because it's a pain in the ass to kill elite frigates in a bs. I can still do l4 though. It only takes much longer than it should be. But during this time I've been doing cosmic signatures in low sec. Something you can do in a t1 cruiser. And frankly this is much more fun than l4s. The only problem is it gets tiring to constantly look over your shoulder for pirates. So I'm kinda looking forward to getting my t2 in a few more days. After that I'll just alternate between l4s and exploration until I'm bored with both and I'll go find a low sec or w-space corp to join. So please tell me - what the hell are you doing that you're forced to wait for your skills to finish?

WOW: full of idiots, because there is no game mechanics that punishes stupidity. EVE: full of ********s, because there is no game mechanics that punishes griefing and scamming. IRL there are jails and lynch mobs, EVE has nothing. Both games suck, but a MMO that's actually any good is decades away.

In order to fall for the scam you must be less intelligent than the scammer. So there you have a mechanic for punishing scammers - other players' intelligence. With griefings you have plenty of ways to deal with - stay in high sec, stay in noob corp, hire mercenaries, use an alt until the griefer's sick of wasting days of waiting for you. There are probably more ways that I haven't thought about.

Hm no you just have to be alert, intelligence as in IQ doesn't have so much to do with it. Some RL professors may be socially so underdeveloped that they can scammed easily. On the other hand "street wise" people who fail at school may be very hard to scam and IRL they may make lots of money with it. So no, IQ isn't neccessarily highly correlated with scammability.

I agree. Intelligence wasn't the right word. My point was that you can spot a scam and avoid it. And afterwards announce it to everybody so the scam will effectively be failed. There is nothing in the game that allows a scammer to make a perfect, unrecognizable scam.

That's a pretty stupid question. WoW and Eve are so far apart from each other that you can't compare that two games. They are both MMOs but that is where the similarities end. If you like WoW play it. If you dont like Eve dont play it.

Well there's 4 pages of comparisons, and a lot of them are valid. To contribute: if you're dead poor and living in a 4th world country, EVE is more attractive with it's "grind to buy PLEX" mechanics. IMO grind a PLEX EVE >>>>> WOW private servers.

In a nutshell; English/Phil/Art majors->WoW
Engineering/Math/CS/Physics majors->EVE
Odd, actually, how true that last bit is...
If that's an analogy then, sorry, no, it is not true.
If it is a comment about the disposition of majors, then it is hard to tell since too many people play WoW or both to be certain. |

Originally by: Jusukisuki Why should i stick to Eve instead of WoW? anyone? WoW -lots of lag lagg, grinding forever to get new stuff. Eve -teambased, (for me) little to no lagg, no grind at all, you can shoot people in the face whenever you want.
Fix'd
