When people first start in EVE by fabio 01/30/2014, 2:06pm PST
It's because they've read all the stories. They figure they'll be lone badass bounty hunter or hook up with a small group for totally awesome adventures of their own.

They spend the entire rest of their EVE career chasing that dragon that never existed in the first place. It's always promised to just be right around the corner. Just train up some basic skills first. Just buy a ship and couple pieces of equipment first. You just need to join a corp. You just need to do a couple logistical activities for this corp. You just need to be on Teamspeak constantly and something fun will come up. You just need to camp this gate for 50 hours. You just need to spend all day sieging this POS.

At the small gang PVP level, you spend all your time trying to find anything more than noob ship scout alts to kill. Everyone avoids fights until they can "blob" the other guys at which point it grows too large to be an fun. The only thing less fun than fleet warfare is POS fleet warfare and there's nothing less fun than POS warfare.

I quit after I hit the 550 mil loot drop because I realized I would never experience that level of high again. It's all alliance politics and blobbing horseshit and at this point the game is so stagnated that nobody accepts new members without answering multi-page questionnaire applications with a dozen essay questions. No joke.
