Eve is is quite unique in that it worlds apart from the other MMORPG's out there (to my knowledge)
I would have agreed with your learning curve a few years back, however CCP has put
considerable effort into making the new player experience a more enjoyable one.
When i first Begin, there was little to no tutorials on basic aspects of the game. Not
to mention all the technical faults and the like.
Alot of the newer players struggle to get a handle on the sentiment of "well if his been playing for 6 years, there is absolutely no way that i can compete with him!" Well your technically right, your SP will never
match his. Consider the scope of the game, to max out your character with max statistics and lvl 5 skills it would take around 11 - 12 years. And then consider that in 2 days you can get a frigate class ship
that if flying with a fleet can be used to tackle (stop said ship from running away) which is a very important
aspect of PVP. The things which take days, weeks, months to train for are the exocitic things which dont directly affect game play (in most cases)
One last thing that is important to new players, in Eve there is no morality, think of EVE as a psychological sandbox. If someone claims he has a free gift for you, then most likely or not he is trying to trick you into stealing so he can get a easy kill.
There are specific tactics involved with annoying new players. Eve pvp is not like WOW, be aware that a friend might be a foe and a foe is really a foe.
PM me if you would like a 21 day trial
