You mean… Bots vs. player? Ganks vs. player? Camps vs. player? Multi-boxers vs. player? Mobs vs. player? It hasn’t been everyone vs. everyone since the 2000’s.
While I appreciate that you’re bemoaning the death of the original EVE, that game died long ago.
I know…
I’ve been stuck in nostalgia since 2010…

There was a rumour about shuttles sitting undocked containing units of Plex in cargo holds after the NES Store was handing out free Yellow Golden Nuggets.
And that’s a good thing…both of it…
Jita sux.
Plain. Why a new player should go straight day 0 to this cesspool of gambling, scamming, begging and stealing? Is like telling a amish girl used to milk cows in her dad’s farm to go work waitress in Las Vegas.
And they do…
I was actually thinking it’s akin to telling her the cows have sweeter milk in Vegas…
I don’t get your meaning, but I try to respond to all comments.
FYI: Vegas isn’t that bad. It’s safer than Los Angeles in almost every respect. In Vegas, you’re more likely to be a victim of heatstroke or dehydration than of crime, particularly on the Strip, where most fatalities are from drunks walking into traffic.
Source? I mean both are fairly low for large cities, but I’m seeing LA is ranked lower than LV by the FBI per capita.
I’ve lived in both. (Yes, I know that’s subjective.)
The best thing that new players could do is leave Excretium. Take a gate, take a shipcaster - just do yourself a favor and GTFO.
High-sec is reasonably safe - and at least you can earn a decent income there.
I couldn’t agree more. I spent about 5 minutes there and couldn’t wait to leave.
Arguably a hallmark of a good tutorial area is that players leave it quickly. It’s there to teach you the basics before sending you out into the real game. If that’s all it’s good for, it sounds like they hit the mark.
I wouldn’t say this is a good thing, no.
Recently I have played for couple month with my Alpha character. Mover to low-sec to run lvl3 missions (just for fun). Well, outside of one wave of Amarr/Caldari militia invading the region it was pretty fun experience. Even met some local pirates and one of them helped me to complete few Event sites i was not able to complete due to Alpha skills and restrictions. Then I switched to exploration and make billions of ISK pretty easily. Again, it was Alpha account. These do not even need too much ISK (you only can spend it to PLEX or to buy very expensive modules which you again don’t need).
I think the result depends of how you approach low-sec. In all my years I visited this space as a carebear, got killed in there many times, roamed with militia and just gang, passed the space to and from base in 0.0 space. Never felt that I simply cannot do my stuff in this dangerous apace.
Youre slightly contradicting yourself. You just said you think players should leave as fast as possible…but then turn around and say it doesnt sound good for it to be that way. Which is it.
It also sounds to me that the area is working as intended. All that massive mining resources out of there…not happening, all the hanging around and living in tranquility…not happening, all the danger free isk that everyone was all up in the air about…not happening.
Or is it…is any of that happening? So far i havent read a single incident of any of it.
Probably not. Most of the newer generation of gamers dont ever bother reading anything… much less a forum of any kind.
Good question…i havent seen a single post about any of the doomongering that went on for months about all the things that this new zone was going to cause.
If you dont read about it…that means its not happening.
Probably true, given that there are so many people that want it to fail.
