Role playing..in an RPG. Interacting with others...in an MMO. CCP has failed the players. They have created a broken system where remaining a newb forever is rewarded- guaranteeing players will be stuck doing newb activities in newb space (high sec), adding nothing to the game until they quit of boredom. CCP has never done a thing to help players progress beyond trial acct activities. Most just mine endlessly and never leave high sec simply because they have no idea how to progress, and no motivation to do so. <br />All CODE does is make players progress. They teach the same lessons that E-Uni does, but without having to join a group that tells you when you can and cannot undock. Tanking a ship, using your map and D-Scan, running intel channels, fleeting up, even....dread....fighting back. This was all supposed to be CCP's job and they failed miserably at it for more than a decade. <br />By making high sec dangerous, there is no reason for players to remain there forever. If you are going to be blown up anyway, might as well progress to low and null sec/WH and die for better rewards and content. <br />CODE has done more to make new players and lifelong carebears better at Eve than any of CCP's weak 'new player experience' garbage.<br /> When I lower myself to actually enter high sec these days (it smells funny there and the exotic dancers all have cold sores) what I see is players that actually understand Eve mechanics far better than I did as a newb years ago. It's not hyperbole to say that I wish CODE existed when I started playing Eve, wish they had ganked me until I learned how to tank, how to D-Scan, how to fight back. It would have been far more interesting than the 'new player experience' that I suffered thru- only staying with Eve this long because I left high sec and died over and over until I could survive, even prosper. <br />Whether you enjoy the role play of 'religious zealot' or not- they provide a far better instruction on this game than CCP has ever come up with on their own.

And I'd like to say this to the raging miners:<br /><br />For the last hour I've been zipping around systems seeking out new players.<br />I've encountered 2 retrievers, 1 mining velator(!), and several ventures belonging to players that are 1 month old or over, all in 0.5 or 0.6 systems. Only one of them did a runner when I locked them, and clearly a couple were AFK because their rock had disappeared.<br />"You shoot defenceless ships". Yeah well you're defenseless by choice I'm afraid.<br /><br />So I've been convo'ing players less than 2 weeks old and are mining.<br />I convinced one player he should find a corp and he said he'll consider low sec exploration.<br />I helped a week old-er with finding the SoE missions, at least to get her off the starting blocks. She was warping there as soon as I'd said it. She said she intends to try low sec once she's figured out the basic mechanics.<br />And I explained the potential income and excitement of FW to another player and he said he shall consider it.<br />I like to hope I've helped 3 people of the world prolongue their eve experience.<br /><br />I didn't blow any of these lot up BTW. I did give them 5 mil isk if they responded positively.<br /><br />Interacting with new players is a great thing to do and you can help shape their eve career, if only to say "When you get bored of mining, don't give up, try something else. Spend that isk! You can fit a t1 frig, get insurance and when you lose it you'll only be 300k down".<br />I don't blow anyone up though I do plan to gank a few more-experienced AFKers. What Bellatrix and other helpful CODE. members do is a good thing. It's a hard and fast lesson in how EVE can and will f*$k you over, and then an education in things that aren't boring.<br /><br />And you know once you do get into what the game offers, you go around seeking out newbies to help out because you want them to experience the thrills you have.<br /><br />If you wanna mine, that's fine by me, but realise there's a game out there so massive that after 2 years of at least an hour a day, I still haven't done half the things on offer. Go get blown up (with a ship that can shoot back) once in a while. The rush is exhilerating.<br /><br />And if you really do wanna mine long term, accept eve as it is rather than begging CCP to change it to what you want eh. After all, some of you aren't even watching the game..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359240470593955814.post-72041188144766897052015-08-25T20:24:03.882+00:002015-08-25T20:24:03.882+00:00Of course they are level headed, they were speakin...Of course they are level headed, they were speaking with me.
