Like in Dust how you spend hours fitting and thinking about counter fits in EVE you spend more time in that because it's more complex. To me this was what appealed to me on the day i downloaded dust. I had my fill of BF3 so i was not over anxious to get into the battle part but i spent hours pouring over the market, skills, and fitting. I was like living my dream that day because i love fitting, market in EVE and i loved FPS.
EVE has this overwhelming sense of awe when in first dawns on you that the vastness of space is real or simulated to the point that it is real enough, there is no gimmick of loading instances. This realization blew my mind as i was expecting the normal lame standard of instances.
There is also this redeeming sense when you realize that this not going to be another cookie cutter MMO that holds you hand from linear progress of quest to quest or makes you kill 5 NPC pirates to collect 5 pirate eyeballs to save a dying planet. non of that textbook MMO 101 crap. The ppl who like PVE/RP there is meaningful missions, in a way, to immerse you.
For the hardcore it is a dreamland, without the threat of someone summoning a GM for "not playing nice". There isnt this juvenile sense of saftey.. there is not a disgusting sanitized feel. There is no one to hold your hand or summon a circus clown to hand you a balloon when your sad in EVE the only way out is to think.
Then to see yourself become smarter at the game, and learn to survive. Like I'm very proud of learning by trial and error how to run blockades and generally go where i please. This ie sn't any great feat in real EVE players eyes but as a lone wolf I found I could leave high sec and waste some pirates time while make buttloads of more isk
and actually saw my name on some carebears profile sayomg that i needed to die- this brought me great pride, i was like, wow i somehow made an effect on EVE enough for someone to mention my name in their bio. This was at a time when ninja salvaging people's loot caused great QQ to PVE players. I took it farther and looted the cargo holds of the wreck which flags you to be shot by the wrecks owner and started designing my own ships specifically for theft.
I came up with something that makes me LOL a lot, it's not glamorous and is just bottom feeding, i loot shipwrecks that were engaged in a massive battle with a sneaky fit. This is a lot funner than mining for me. And allows me to "interact" with hardcore players. I am real a scrub like that in EVE and just dont care. Everyone's got a role to play and that is mine. Just some galactic vagrant.
Last I played i fit a frigate, did a 30 jump null roam around great wilderlands, but no one would stick around to fight me. Not that I'm some scary guy but i guess they just weren't up to fighting frigates that day. I was looking to be blown up.
Which brings to the point that it's not like other MMOs- you dont grind linearly to "the best ship", because there really is no best ship. There is no end game uber fit. There are millions of fits. it depends on what needs to be done so even the lower tier ships are put to use in the "end games" but that is not a very good term to use in EVE.
