QED: [Top reasons why a new player should consider not playing EVE Online](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/top-reasons-why-a-new-player-should-consider-not-playing-eve-online/45881?u=yiole_gionglao) Starting a EVE career has always been like walking into a minefield; any wrong step can shatter your career to pieces. The rewards for making to the other side without losing limbs or life are potentially great, but new recruits should consider other games before and play EVE only when they’re bored or disappointed about those. Think of EVE as a unbalanced Level 80 boss of online gaming… should not be your first option unless you have a something for being frustrated. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/a-salty-snowflakes-carebear-tale/49943)._
