PvP is pretty lacking unless you like sitting in a group of 1000 ships shooting 1000 ships at 1 frame per second.

You used to be able to do small gang like 5 to 20 people but now if you try you'll 9/10 times get a hotdrop on you or people will run away and hide till they can get a hotdrop on you. Hot drop basically means they'll drop a super carrier on you, which is unkillable unless you also have a supercarrier which you won't for at least a year (skill training time).

You'll need at least 2 accounts to survive meaning 30 per month or you'll need to grind isks to buy free account time.

I was Infinity Ziona, I played from 2003 to 2011 n founded the privateers alliance but ended up quitting because it got too expensive to have multiple accounts to survive and the solo / small gang pvp pretty much became impossible.

also like one of the above posters said, a pvp vet can make a char and get a riftor fit in a mtter of hours, and still kill off people. there are hard counters to shit in the game and all the skill points in the world aint gonna save you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
I assure you I know every nuance of every possible matchup you will ever possibly have the possibility of encountering in EVE. I have personally trained literally hundreds of pilots in every aspect of the game and have achieved a k/d isk ratio that is nothing short of legendary. I have fought in many major wars, not just battles, and have truly influenced the course of events in the universe.

You may talk about how much you like the game, but the moment you begin speaking to me in anything but an awed, hushed tone regarding EVE is the moment I have to laugh at you derisively. You should now consider yourself properly chastened before you unwittingly give me motive to serially pod you into oblivion. And I most certainly will be able to find you and do so if I wish. One of the things I miss about EVE is that actions have consequences. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The Privateers were amazing at one time. Infinity Ziona was a pretty big name...and speaks the truth about EvE in its current state.

Say bye to EvE, the uniquely gritty harsh niche game, say hi to EvE, the dress up, pay to win, mainstream game. - Infinity Ziona

not really arguing withya Sam...just long-time players telling you your enjoyment is probably gonna be pretty short-lived...

I played eve for awhile, I joined a war decking clan, and the pvp went like this. Go to point A and sit, go to point B and sit, go to point C... Enemies in system! move to point D where enemies are at. Opps they are already at point Z. The pvp bored the shit out of me, after the first pvp ops. Eve is a great crafting game if you like to do that. It takes about 6 months to beable to kill anyone thats been playing a year or more 1 on 1, and that is only if you know what to get skill wise before you even start your character. That is prob the worst part of eve is waiting for skills.
