I agree with Charles. My last console was an Atari 2600. I got a PS3 just for Dust and am horrible at FPS console stuff. This game as any other has a built in advantage for veterans of the genre as most have similar game mechanics.
I don't agree that it against casual gamers. I'm casual in this game ( having regions to conquer and all), but even as it is, the casual gamer can do well with a sharp mind and practice. After a week, I'm tickled to have generally an equal k/d especially as a logi guy. The first few days was a ball of WTF. I'll always be casual at this, maybe 6 hrs a week. I do not get the feeling that it is unworkable, unplayable, or not fun for those hours. Of course the hardcore will lead the KBs and have the specced equipment. There are many things like hacking, reps, revives, and of course squading that keep things fun and productive without being a L337 bouncing bunny rabbit.
Keep at it bro, consider it paying the dues. The same complaint applies to Eve....

Tank domination has a few changes yet to go before release. Myself included, it is easy for folks to view this as a finished product while we are playing. There are many drastic changes up and coming, both before and after public release.
We get an inside look and game shaping input, CCP doesn't have to pay us as testers.. good deal for all. |

I really do hope not, the one thing I hate about Eve is that nothing you do affects your character outside of purchasing items for isk, so the people who joined first are the uber leet and everyone else has 0 chance of catching up. That's just the rich stay the rich and everyone else can suck it.
That isn't even close to accurate. You may have 150m SP, but only 25m (arbitrary number) apply with any given ship and fit at a maximum. As in Eve you can skill to spec in something and be just as effective at that role as someone years older. The difference is a combination of battlefield/situational experience and teamwork combined with leadership.
To say that nothing affects your character outside of buying things for ISK , or that a new player cannot match a vet (within game mechanics) kinda pegs you for someone that doesn't understand what this and that game have to offer in the way of tools and potential. New players often put a beat down on "vets" with 1/10th the SP, as well as extract billions in ISK from players 6 yrs their senior in game time.
