ye may bitch and moan as much as ye like but ye shant turn it into the friendly little doll’s house ye seem to so desperately want it to be ,
because this is our mauldy auld sand pit with hair broken glass and teeth just under the surface and we like it this way.

The fact that a lot of eve players had to deal with. Doesnt mean that isnt discourging for the newbs.
A lot of people play the game so they gain something while playing. In eve you have to wait for before you can go further.

No I am not that kind of player if people actually read. I stated newbs not myself. ^^
Myself… I play other games such as life is feudal. mortal online wurm online. Where you all gain some experience but minimal. Amounts for example: 0.0031. But yeah I could possibly buy 2 skill injectors every week if I keep playing as I recently did. ^^. Just one account and ratting in 0.0…
Yeah, I remember those times and even though it took a long time to accomplish, there was immense pride and self satisfaction gained for doing it. CCP has now made the game so generic and automated with instant gratification that it practically plays itself. No wonder the log-in numbers are hurting.

even if you could grind xp here, you would still have to wait.
the difference is with passive xp you dont have to actually be actively doing the thing for that time ,
you can instead spend that time
scanning anomilys
running missions
smack talking the degenerates in the trade hubs
poking fun at the russians in the trade hubs
fleeing the trade hubs
making a sandwitch
watching netflix
going to the pub
trying to pull
failing to pull
having a sad wank
going to sleep
going to work
whatever , the point is , were this warframe or something else with active xp you would have to come back feeling shamefull and dirty and still have to grind that xp.
mercifully eve has your back here and you can happily carry on with whatever it was you were training for.
Edit: derp spelling

This game is now basically F2P and P2W that’s aimed at the Instant Gratification crowd. Over the years a lot of older players have left due to that fact. There’s still a small percentage of old school subscriptions still active, basically insuring a small steady flow of money. Since CCP still continues to change the game in that direction, more will leave and the numbers will continue to drop despite bringing in new players.

There used to be complaints about how skill training made the game Free2Win.
Paid or free, SPs are worthless if you dont actually know what you are doing.

Bullcrap, that meme is older than dino rot and doesn’t hold true anymore. The News story about Ironbank creating a Titan pilot with a 3 day old character proves it.
500,000,000 sp does not make you a good pilot
it makes you a pilot.
all thats changed is character age isnt as reliable a gauge as it used to be
and to be fair, you could always have bought charachters

Pretty much this
Sp doesn’t matter if you have no idea how the game works. The kb has more insight on a player’s capacities than sp or age ever will imo
