I've tried eve 4 times, each stay ranging from a few days to a few months, and every experience I had trying to learn the game by joining a "training corp" was terrible. And these weren't small/no-name corps, some of them supposedly had a great reputation for training noobs. I guess nobody in eve cares anymore?

My last corp experience:
-1st day join corp
-2nd day corp taxes get raised with no explanation as to what the corp will do with the extra isk
-3rd day I get scolded for asking where the extra tax money will go
-4th day I get yelled at again for complaining that nobody is ever available (even though the mentors are in-game all the damn time) to teach me pvp

Either that corp was a scam which I doubt (I don't think scamming day 1 noobs is the fastest way to get money...) or nobody in eve gives a shit anymore.

So yeah, I'm pretty burnt out on the game.

Eve requires very little hand holding if you do a few hour of self-research on the web. =_=

Edit: Point of post: It seems you have fallen under the general assumption that Eve is hard to start out with. Eve is only harder than every other "hand-fed from the start" generic mmo.

I told Kwark that the PLEXes he was holding were probably going to crash in value cause of the SP refund. The theory was that people could fly new shiny ships, would buy the ships, and suddenly wouldn't have enough isk for PLEXes. Kwark immediately agreed to let me sell them off.

I didn't mean everyone, sorry. Just everyone that I ever had any interaction with. That was a pretty bitter response to what was only a justification for my hesitation to try again.

I still think that the majority of eve players are less than excited about new people signing up. On one of my accounts, I was ganked (.4 sec i think...idk i was a noob) and then informed that since eve is becoming overpopulated by scrubs, the pirates had taken it upon themselves to beat up on noobs in order to make the eve server population more to their liking. I think I had been playing the game for about 3 days at that point, and it was my first trial. So within about 10 hours of playing the game I was directly told by the game's community that I had no right playing their sacred game. This pretty much set the standard of all my future eve pvp interactions so you can see why I'm less than enthused about being a part of the eve community.

Pretty typical of the gaming community from my experience. lol...ever been to shoryuken? (fighting game version of tl) On that note I do think tl is a better community site than most, so I wouldn't be surprised if tl's corp has better standards than the rest.



I think you're the first person that has implied otherwise. Idk. I guess I never made it far in eve because I had amazingly terrible luck with pvp, and at least when I played, the pve didn't seem too interesting.

Really? You came into the EVE thread and completely trashed it. I do not see one single point in your original post that would convey you would want to try it again, just blatant bashing. And, we are eve players, do you think calling all eve players trash is a good way to come across in an eve thread?

Sorry that you had such shitty experiences in the past, but the op as some pretty easy steps to get into the hatchery and get a mentor: ( ﾟ∀ﾟ)

Dude I apologized already, stating that any offense taken by you was due a miscommunication error on my part. I don't think eve as a game is trash. I was just stating that every single person I've come in contact with in that game has acted like a 2 year old. That may sound harsh but realize it's not a judgement on you, or anyone else in this thread. I should've made that clearer.

I'd like to join the hatchery. Shoot me a 21 day trial and I'll get started. Eve looks awesome, and I'd gladly do the mentor/student thing.

Looks like we were right. It feels good to make an accurate macroeconomic prediction.
