Yeah this is a rage rant. If you don't like it read a different thread. Where the hell do I begin.... First off it throws you into the thick of it with almost ZERO explanation on dropsuits, weapons, fittings, corporations, skill leveling, and BASIC game mechanics, and then after the pathetic 5 second tutorial it has the nerve to say "You're ready! Go get em' tiger!" Lol what a laughable joke. If you're new, expect to create multiple characters before you figure out your crack from a hole in the wall.

Once your pathetic excuse for a tutorial is done and you play all of like 3 matches with fellow noobs, you get dumped in matches with people with gear that's 100 times better than yours. You'll be all optimistic at first until these jackals wipe the pretty smile off your face; at which time you'll find yourself attempting (in vain) to pump all your rounds into a guy who'll just turn around drop you in 2 seconds flat. And why is that? Because there is NO skill level segregation. So after you've blown all your measly starting SP you'll realize that you blew it all on that awesome gun you wanted, only to realize you leveled up Light instead of Heavy and you need the appropriate dropsuit to buy it. Ok so I'll just level that one right? Wrong, you just blew all your SP on the wrong things, so good luck building that back up anytime this decade....and you need to consider CPU and PG. Just wait and see how much fun you have trying to create a fitting every time it gets stuffed in your face that you don't have enough CPU or PG. And then you'll just have a blast opening THAT can of worms because remember that cool gun you wantes to use? Well just forget that for a while because the Devs thought dropsuit leveling was SO much fun that they decided to make TWO DIFFERENT SKILL TREES FOR IT. Gimme a freakin break. And you know what makes it even more frustrating?? THEY DON'T TELL YOU JACK. AND THEY NICKEL AND DIME YOU WITH SP TO THE POINT WHERE IT'S DOWNRIGHT INSULTING. So unless you have a stinkload of money to spend, just expect to get rectum raped over and over while it takes you a year just to get a few mediocre guns at best. While the paid players dance over your corpse. Players need to be separated by skill level. And hey, here's a message to the Devs.... Why not actually REWARD the people who spend so much time playing your games instead of insulting them with a lousy 3,000 SP per fight. It's a freakin joke. And why is everyone so afraid to rant? Stop being so politically correct and just say what bothers you and maybe you'll actually see some of the changes you wanna see in the games you play. Y'all act like a bunch of baby blue boyscouts on here like "GEE WHIZ this game troubles me something awful!" when you know damn well you're throwing your damn controllers in a fit of rage 4 times a day. So freakin fake. That's all I got. Peace.

Apply to "Nyain Chan" Corporation, tell them you are new in the application mail. We will do everything we can to help you understand and enjoy this game. bear in mind nyain is mainly japanese, but a lot of us are english / american speaking players too.

....
Play academy games and skill into something new every time, send the left over isk to your main guy, delete all characters except the main with the boosters and repeat.

I think CCP likes having very bad NPE because it encourages players to make bad SP investments, thus increasing the amount of grind they need / encouraging them to purchase boosters to make up for lost time.

HTFU.

I was a noob almost 2 years ago, now I'm stomping noobs.
