DUST Search - [Feedback] CCP Rouge - your 4 Pillars for Legion are flawed

As an eve player for 10 years, the thing you have to remember is eve is a 'sand box' its not a theme park.

Here is the difference.

In WoW lets say, you have a set path you must follow, inorder to advance and get things. You kill things with sticks, level up, but new gear, kill bigger things with a dagger, level up, buy gear, kill bigger things with a sword, level up, group with people and kill bigger things with bigger swords.

Essentually you go into wow knowing that you are going to 'ride' x, y, z, in this order. Game events are new 'rides' that you can run with each expantion

Eve... is not this way.

eve is like your parents taking you to the beach, setting you in the middle of the sand, turning over your bag of toys and saying 'have fun'

You can chose to star at your parents and wait for them to come over and help or guide you into making stuff. Or you can pick up one of the toys and do stuff.

The biggest misconception of eve is you need to wait to do things. This is bull. When I started, the learning curve was death. Its a difficult game to learn. But once you do its easy.

There is no need to wait. if you tell me what you want to do, right now, besides use cap ships, I can tell you EXACTLY what you need to do to do what you want in 2 days tops. You can do everything, in 2 days. Now, to be GOOD or Great at it will take longer, but that is a combination of skill, your experience, and your skill points. But there is never any need to sit and wait. longer then 2 days to do anything. If you get bored of eve in three months, that is on you. Not eve. That is your limitation. Once you look at it, as a giant sand box full of toys and you can pick up the basic of any toy you want in a max of two days (a lot in 20 min) it opens everything up. But if your goal is to jump in a titan, and that's it, then eve is not the game for you.

Legion should be a sandbox, you jump in, learn the basics and do what you find fun. I don't want to be guided form point a to be, just give me tools and let me explore and melt peoples faces off

Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

You can quickly get into Industry, PVP, PVE, any of the big roles in a very short time, if you do your research, and are committed. I moved to Low Sec in my first week playing EVE. I did not get bored. (Not recommended for the faint of hart!) I did eventually yearn for a titch muscle game and chose DUST because there was no fighter game in New Eden at the time. But that is a matter of the type of game I wanted to play, not how entertaining EVE was. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.
