For me Eve provides a level of complexity and challange that simply dose not exist in other games. I think that is why it continues to grow steadily, it just takes a certain kind of person to play Eve long term. It helps that the complexity of Eve branches into two areas instead of just one- making heaps of isk and second ruthlessly killing each other. As for walking in stations it will remain a side segment of the game not heavily utilized until it is manipulated to facilitate one of the previously mentioned areas of the game. It will be much more interesting, complex and challenging when you and your gang can hang outside a door choke point waiting for someone to come walking through. At which time the smallest fastest member of your gang will throw himself at the person with reckless abandon hoping to get tackle and web on him. While that happens another member will spray the toon in the face with pepper spray so he cant target anyone. After that everyone else will jump on him with knives, stabbing the poor carebear repeatedly until they melt him and he dies. Then they will strip him of everything they can sell for isk including various organs and then run like crazy before Concord arrives or another gang lands on them. Ah...walking in stations Eve style...PvP and isk all rolled into one! |

Sal, in all honesty and no offence intended, the reason why you come here to bash on EVE is your ignorance about the game. You proved many times that you do not know how certain things work - should I remind you your T2 rig rant? - and you make conclusions based on your invalid assumptions. It is fair to say you don't like the game, but for god's sake do not 'analyze' the game because your conclusions are rightfully wrong due your lack of knowledge. It's fair to say you don't like the slow paced combat and you prefer more personal endeavour to affect the fight. All this is fine but don't say EVE is this or that because you simply don't know... |

EVE is what EVE is, a real time action game it is certainly not. Enough with the stuff about how 'you just don't get it' type comments. EVE is not hard to 'get' even if for some not into the empire building and ship administration stuff it might be hard to take. People like what people like but there is nothing more or less valid in those preferences.
What I am getting at is this, you do not need to be an expert on something to nkow whether you like it or not and even without expertise people can express a valid criticism of EVE when they are articulating their play preference and experience with the game. -------------------------------- |

Originally posted by Gdemami Gdemami, See what I highlighted in red from Sal's post. You just proved it. Sal was giving an opinion. Notice how he uses phrases such as "I found the game boring", "I didn't find anything compelling". Perfectly valid opinions. He didn't say the game was boring or not compelling. He said HE percieved it that way. And how do you respond? By wording your opinions as fact and making value judgements about him. For example. It's fair to say you don't like the slow paced combat and you prefer more personal endeavour to affect the fight. Really? And how do you know this? I don't see anything like this in his post. You are making an assumption about someone you don't even know. It's fair to say you feel more rewarded when spending countles hours killing same mobs again and again instead of real-time skilling. Again, the same thing. Another assumption. It's fair to say you dislike any death penalty because it's too frustrating for you. See a pattern? I can't speak for the other folks that are fed up with the EVE community, but this is THE very reason why I see many EVE players as elitest and hate how they treat others with disrespect whenever they don't happen to agree. And because of it, I have stopped playing the game.

I think it is ironic that while people get flamed in this thread for saying it is thier opinion that EVE is a bit boring there is another thread here with fans of the game describing the many times they have fallen asleep while playing only to wake up to a floting pod in space.
EVE does what EVE does very well - clearly it is not for everyone but just because it is not for someone doesn't mean they are too stupid to get it, to attention deficit inflicted to appreciate it, or suckling on Blizzard's tit. -------------------------------- |

To be fair, that can be read as the game is so fun for those people that they are motivated to play for much longer then they should. No matter how engaging the game may be fatigue will still set in eventually even if you think you can manage "just one more trip". But, that is purely devil's advocate. I currently enjoy the game and don't find it boring, however I can certainly see where others would get bored. No matter what, no game can entertain everyone and, to add to that, the longer you've played a game, the higher risk you are to grow tired of it. Sure, there are people who have been playing since launch and more power to them, but I think we are past the point, in society, where multi-year attention spans are a common thing :P -mklinic "There's a point I think we're missing. |

Jesus.. CHESS and WHACK-A-MOLE??? How far over the top do I have to go for you to get the joke? |

I simply expanded his thoughts about the game he mentions
as an example to point out the difference between personal preference and judging the game mechanics without neccessary knowledge - like the rig rant. |

Comparing EVE to Chess is just an insult to Chess. EVE is a frakin MMO meant for blowing things and drinkin beer IMHO. Not weak but not impressive try at a straw dog I would say. Probably would have worked in the WOW forums.
