Good greif, you obviously don't understand EVE at all.

If you gave a 3 month old character and a five year veteran a frigate each and exactly the same fits I would not bet on who would win. The reason being that in that three months the newer character could have topped out all the skills needed to fly that specific ship and all the requisite fittings. The only difference between a Vet and a n00b in EVE is versatility and breadth of skills.

Thats not going to change anytime soon.

Bearing that in mind and that you probably won't be back, can I have your stuff :P

I don't understand how you could have gotten as far as you got in terms of money only to end up hating it for its core game play. That is like getting to level 50 in another game and then deciding that you don't like how the level advancement works.

One of my alts is 1 years old and I run around and kill stuff all the time with it. I love popping the really old guys clones as it is not going to be cheap to replace. Flying the right ship is more important then how many skill points you have.

Explain to me how your level 5, 2 million sp battleship skill affects your ability to fly an interdictor. Explain how your 8 million sp in drones affects your ability to fly an Amarr frigate. Explain how your Gallente spaceship skills affect your ability to fly a Raven.

I got to a total of about 25 million skillpoints, if you have all relevant skills at level 5 (many of which are plain unnecessary) which can possibly affect your ability to fly a Zealot. What is the difference between a 50mil sp and a 500 mil sp character if only 25m sp matter when theyre flying a specific ship?

This is what many people simply don't understand. More SP doesn't mean better, it just means more options. A concrete example would be that a 25 mil sp character in EVE equals one level 80 character in WoW, and a 100 mil sp character in EVE equals 4 level 80 characters in WoW. You can only use 1 at a time, so when a new player reaches a certain amount of SP (around 20-30mil usually) they can easily keep up with 5 year vets in terms of effectiveness, they just have less options available.
