I guess quite a few new players are going to be upset when they loose those $ bought ships to stupid mistakes.
I’m sure CCP is ready for the backlash.

Yep - the great irony of people in this thread building a façade of vets vs. everyone else is that a future state of full asset monetization doesn’t work in the newbies favor. It’s discouraging that some people felt their newbie experience sucked - some of us didn’t even get a tutorial - but frankly, we can’t change the past.
What we can hopefully change is a future game state in which every newbie doesn’t feel like the cost of playing this game becomes insurmountable before they know how to play it. So, I do care about the newbie, but it just so happens I care about the newbie of tomorrow, and next month, and next year, and not yesterday.
Oh. You’re one of those people.
The kind that say something, get shot down, change topic, get shot down again, change topic yet again and once again get…
Well, I think we get the point.

The newbies are an exploitable source of income.
What’s going to happen when a 3 day old player with their $ bought retriever wanders into low sec?
I seriously doubt CCP slapped a disclaimer on the sale. Imagine what it would look like? It would scare any potential client away.
So, this new player wanders into lowsec and I blap him. Yay me, but now I have a, more than usual, irate player squawking about how I destroyed something that cost him RL money. And in a way, they would be right.
It’s not putting the player first, new or veteran. It’s putting short sale gains first.

It is sad to read this, If you take that road … you will soon see the current playerbase go for other option in games. sad.
Thank you for the update. You communicate better than some of the other people I’ve reached out to for comment.
When everyone gets to end game by buying their way there , GAMES DONE…
Because the gankers are full of crap, and they know it. More, we aren’t paying them to provide us with a service we want. We are… or were… paying CCP. And they’re not holding up their end of that transaction.
Nope. I don’t expect them to be enthused by the idea of ‘hey, this free to play game, if you want that ship you see mining next to you, not only do you have to pony up cash for it, you have to pony up cash and then wait because you can’t even train the skills until after you’ve paid’.
CCP trying to push Barges as ‘for teh newbies’ is just them trying to cash in on people before those people realize what garbage most of the mechanics are, rather than producing a game that isn’t a boring slog only made bearable by the people you hook up with along the way.
No, they weren’t. They know what the problem is. They’ve been told what the problem is every time they’ve redone the NPE over the last six+ years—which, at this point, I think is running roughly every 9 months on average: The NPE is great, but then this engaging, interest NPE that gives you a direction and a plotline, that gives you immersion and a sense of scope and investment… dumps you off into EVE, and the while career agents have gotten their careers renamed, and a new Agency UI hot-glued onto their foreheads, the last time the mission system itself, including the career agents, got a real overhaul… was when it went in, 19 years ago.
You started in the last 36 months. You went through whichever version of the NPE was current then. Did that experience feel like the same game as the one you found when you got out of it? Or did you go from a reasonably good play-through with a consistent level of ‘things to do’ into an uncaring void of ‘ok, go do mindlessly repetitive tasks for hours on end so you can scrape together a barely noticeable improvement, and then hop back on the treadmill’?

Well, at least the gankers are having fun.
I’m sorry you are so unhappy.

I don’t rely on EVE’s game mechanics for my happiness any more than I rely on being a jackass to other people for it. The latter’s just a bonus. 
Honestly, I feel sorry for you.
Maybe you should take a break?

Take a break… from not logging in?

Exactly, this isn’t healthy for you.
EvE just makes you upset.

Actually, EVE doesn’t make me upset any more than it makes me happy. Idiots irritate me. People I pay to provide a service lying to me about the service I pay for annoys me. People I pay insulting me and my friends by blatantly looking to exploit our time and efforts for their own benefit while insisting they’re doing it ‘for teh newbies’, and basically telling me that they think we’re too stupid to notice? That offends me.
As for ‘healthy’… honestly, my doctors tell me that when such things annoy and offend me, bottling it up isn’t good for my blood pressure, and it’s far healthier to call the jackasses out on their behavior. And I’m still wondering how you think I should take a break from not logging in? By… logging in? That doesn’t really seem like such a hot idea.

Like, look, you’ve been miserable for years.
Stop blaming CCP. The problem is you.

That’s pretty funny, considering I’m not even miserable now.
But then, you’ve never been good at understanding people who don’t share your very narrow outlook.

Nah, there’s something off about you.
You know what I’m talking about.
If you aren’t playing EvE, that’s good - now it’s time to leave the forums.
The incessant complaining and whining is legit TOXIC.
Learn to be happy in life, but EvE isn’t the game for you.
When a game leaves you perpetually this angry and bitter, the problem is not the game - the problem is definitely you, and I think you know that’s a truth you need to hear. If you’ve quit logging in, why are you even here?

Except, again, the game doesn’t. So, congratulations on once again not having a clue.

Uh, yah, everyone can read your writing.
You are definitely a bitter salt farm. It’s fine, continue crying in the forums of a game you don’t even play, enjoy that miserable little existence… or move on. It’s your choice.
Complaining gets you nowhere.

Yup, there’s never any point to voicing discontent. Don’t like something? Too bad, just shut up and accept it, because voicing that displeasure will get you nowhere. 
You ever get tired of being wrong?
