hey, there are some hardcore folks who pull off a purely nomadic lifestyle. They truly live from the scraps and stuff they find and build and they deserve respect for that. they’re not like the OP.

All these replies from people with multiple instances of the game open to harvest asteroids more efficiently and chat to other middle aged men all the while bots actively exploit and grind for people on 1,000 accounts just so you can do what other games let you do for free minus the grinding. Minus the forced social interaction. The ultimate hilarity is since you invested so much energy into a database number that could easily be manipulated in seconds you’re trapped to your accounts which could literally be edited, duplicated, deleted in a matter of seconds. What a disgusting pyramid casino gambling addiction scheme you found yourselves in. 
Making your own ships is tedious and unfun. As soon as you lose something and have to replace it, especially if you are mining your own materials and lose your mining ship, you’re going to HAVE to interact with players in order to simply proceed in any way. I know what you said. I gave it an accurate interpretation, following a logical path to a logical conclusion which is, avoiding other players makes the game tedious and unfun.
On the other hand, seeking out those interactions makes it unique, dynamic, and generally incredible.
I’m not doing anything ‘again’, mate, but I was expecting you to make a song and dance about my reply because if you’re consistent with anything, it’s being obstinate and easy to trigger with short one-liners.
That’s only your opinion and i hope you remember that.

Opinion based on experience and the demonstrable limitations of making all your own ships. The time it takes to make your own ships if you’re doing any kind of PVP compared to how many ships you’ll lose doing said PVP will leave you afk mining materials to make new ships more often than you’ll be able to PVP.
That video is as funny as it is ridiculous. How did she manage to get a job on television with such a massive lack of comprehension?! … She must have confused the heck out of her bosses for sure.

The same way all anchors get on TV. By looking pretty.
Maybe for you, but you are just one person whom has difficulty understanding others have their own motives/interests.
*Who has. And I’m not visiting anyone’s motives or intentions. They are irrelevant. In fact, so is the entire subject. A new player just starting out is not going to be making their own ships in any practicable way. I’m sure some people that have been playing for years and have had many player interactions along the way are in a position where they can enjoy making their own ships and avoiding all other players, but you are reaching for examples of people playing the game without any interaction. The fact is, someone starting out is going to need to interact with people to get their foot in the door in any reasonable way.
I will stand by my initial point: if you don’t want to play with other people, making an account on an MMO is not just counter-intuitive, it’s outright dumb.

Agreed. One can certainly have a different opinion, but the extreme of what your saying are the gankers. They participate in the MMO to the point where others are merely loot pinatas and seen as losers.
The best way to play EVE is still the interaction with a lot of players in a respectful and agreeable way. Which certainly isn’t easy and sometimes more than just challenging.
There is no best way.
Just the way you want to play.
Sandbox.

Have you tried them all yet?
No one has.
Have you tried some?
Yes, several.
When you there haven’t found the best way yet, then there’s a good chance you may still find it. 
And what is the best way depends on each person of course. But one can certainly, and will most likely, find a way to play EVE that feels like it’s the best.
As I said, there is no “best way”.
Just the way you want to play.
No, not really. It’s pretty demonstrable. When people want to play a game on their own, and they turn on one with other people in it, they are dumb, especially given how many thousands upon thousands upon thousands of games there are that are single-player. Personally, I have DCS World (I’m training on the F-86 Sabre lately, awesome plane), Injustice 2 (I grew up with fighting games, especially Mortal Kombat), that new Jurassic World game is a lot of fun as well. Battlestar Galactica Deadlock is FKN amazing, even after as long as it’s been out. Some people say it’s repetitive, but I’m a fanboy for Vipers tbh. Also, Borderlands has aged really well, and while it is great as a single player game, it’s about a million times better with other people. Now, that’s an example of the kind of game you’re thinking of. So is Elite, actually, especially with solo mode available. I’m also a huge Tomb Raider fanboy (loving the reboot as well) and I’m looking forward to the new Ace Combat 7 hopefully coming out this year on PC.
Now, you talk about EVE as if it’s possible to avoid player interaction. I made a case telling you why it isn’t, and you dismissed everything I said as ‘opinion’. Let’s say, for argument’s sake, it is an opinion.
Are you going to make a case proving it wrong? Or are you going to let everyone else see my opinion, see that you have no argument against it, and have it become their opinion as well?
The whole ‘that’s just your opinion man’ thing is cute, but it doesn’t demonstrate the opinion to be wrong. It just demonstrates you to have no argument against it.
To say there wasn’t a best way is to deny others theirs. Everyone has their way of playing, but they may still be unhappy about it. There isn’t just different ways for different players, but there are best ways, too.
Remiel and I are two examples of this. Or do you not believe us when we say we have a best way? We even agree on what is the best way for both of us.
