The only reason I will not buy Eve is because its all in real time... Gotta pay a TON of months just to get good equipment... no thanks ;) Even if I started now, I wouldn't be able to catch up with the people that have had it for a year.. :(

It's all relative. You won't be the best battleship pilot after a month, but you could be at 80%-90% effectiveness of even the oldest players in a cruiser or frigate.

You can only use so many skills at once and since everything caps at level 5, people end up diversifying instead of becoming continually better at one thing.

You're doing it wrong.
You don't have to have as much SP as the old EVE players.

Nothing in EVE happens solo (generalization of course, but EVE is not a "solo game").

Find a group of players to play with - your newbie will be able to fly cheap frigates and tackle ships - you'll be useful in fleets and can start participating in groups pretty much from day one. Start blowing up players who have played years more than you.
