[QUOTE=Toyhobo;48133155]nr1 reason i quit the game, all the serious corps wanted people with millions of SP and i didnt really feel like paying to wait until i could join and have fun.[/QUOTE] It's a bit of a bad spiral. Because the only reason the serious corps want people with a lot of SP is because it means you've committed to the game and you're worth spending time on. I've been working on my own corporation over the last half a year with a good group of guys and we've been recruiting a lot of newbros. The thing is that they generally quit the game rather quickly because it's not just not for them and that hurts the rest of us a lot after we've spent yet another day explaining as much as possible to them and help them get started. Do this enough times and you just get sick and tired of helping out people there's a bigger chance than not will just dissapear the next day.
Always had plenty of isk to buy all the ships/weapons/shields i'd ever want, but the learning queue required to use them was months long. Even if its just day, or a few hours its still incredibly unmotivating to be like "wait X amount of time until you can do this". Its a like a shitty web game.

It's just a completely different system than people are used to. Would you say WoW's leveling system is just another shitty web game too? Because in essence, it says the same thing: "Keep boring yourself to death until this arbitrary bar has filled x times, then you can do these dungeons!" Instead of content being locked away by "x amount of grinding" it's "x amount of time". That suits the people who are patient better than those who wants to get access to ALL the content as soon as possible. It's not a system without its flaws, we can agree on that, but it's definitely not a straight up bad system.
Sounds like a good idea, so many new players in eve just try to rush and get to a new ship asap, while neglecting core skills because they don't want to wait for important skills that are needed to fit your ship as effective as possible and get as much out of it as possible. This ends up with people who fly a cruiser around that's just as effective as a player with proper core skills in a frigate/dessie.

Big alliances like Brave or Eve Uni will take you from day one, let alone all the small corps in high and low sec.

They don't have any skill point requirement at all and teach you the basics of the game with a bit of PVP on the side. EVE Uni has been having a bit of issues as of late but they are still pretty active. If you don't like big alliances, You got Alliances like CASabouts who have people living out in syndicate. They more or less welcome new players as well and try to get them used to the game and lowsec.
