Most of these complaints essentially boil down to impatience; you're concerned that new players will be able to shuffle their attributes around to suit their skillplans, thus gaining more SP in less time and trivializing the amount of time you spent training those skills.
I would be able to sympathize if the act of training skills were somehow painful or aggravating. If gaining SP involved a lot of mindless drudgery and you wanted to spend as little time as possible actually doing it, then sure, I could see how it would be unfair. But that's not true.
Everyone's comments in this thread make it sound like EVE isn't any fun until you have at least 20m SP and billions of isk, and you resent the fact that new players don't have to "work" for that privilege like you did. Was your first year and a half that terrible? Is everyone that goal-oriented that you slaved away in misery for months, based solely on the promise that the game would magically become fun at some vague point in the future? If this is the case, then I regret to inform you that UR DOIN IT WRONG.
I terminated a 14m SP character a few months ago because I had skilltree ADD on top of Charisma being my highest attribute. I threw away some perfectly mediocre HAC skills only to start over in an Ibis and it was probably the best decision I've ever made in EVE. If that sounds like madness to you, then I submit that you don't really enjoy playing the game as much as you think you do and you should give me all your stuff.
Sarcasm and thinly-veiled condescension aside, chillax and be groovy. The more capsuleers, the merrier, I say. |

Originally by: Yeshua Christ No I've read the rest. However your sense of entitlement is what I take issue with. So what you've been here longer? You already have all the advantages of that. Making life hard on the newbs just cause it was on you is stupid and counter productive for a game that has to grow in order to be successful. This game is changing and if you can't handle it becoming newb friendly then your free to find another "hardcore" game to enjoy.
THIS, only minus the terrible attitude.
For real, homes. Have like a cigarette or a couple of drinks or something. Just let the rage dissipate, man. |
