Why EVE is great

So lately there has been a lot of EVE bashing even more so than normal. So thought I would write about about why EVE is great or rather why I think EVE is great. There are many reasons why people play this game I play the game because I enjoy it simple as that of course I will go into more detail but the bottom line of the matter is I love this game I put a lot of time & effort into the game. So when the server crashes for an hour or whatever sure I'm pissed but not at CCP but at the fact I can't play. When the server goes down it is always back up within a decent time frame in my opinion & the few times when it has been down for a serious amount of time CCP handed out free SP. Now I know from personal experience that CCP doesn't have the greatest customer service   as anyone who has filled in a petition knows but what's an hour or two when your skills are still training. Nothing that's what, we EVE players are in the lucky position that as long as we have an active skill queue our characters are getting better at the game as opposed to every other mmo where you have to go kill rats or grind like mad to get anywhere.

A few of the reasons I think EVE is great are:

1. The scope of the game
There is basically hundreds of things to do in this game from carebearing it up in high sec to controlling sov in 0.0 & everything in-between. This means that when you are bored of one thing you can just move onto another skills dependant of course.

2. CCP actually listen to the community
Whether it's through the CSM or the forums there is always player input in the production of the game. Although it may not be what every player wants the fact remains that there is player input.

3. The game is great to play
Now don't get me wrong here there are many bugs & flaws within the game but the fact of the matter is EVE is a fun game & has some of the best PvP online gaming has to offer. I haven't been into the PvP side of EVE very long but the whole time that I have it's been some of the best times I have had within the game.

So in conclusion to the above EVE is great, give the devs a break when there is server proble s after all they are only human & work to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

Keep Tanking & Ganking
