    Why not try EVE... After all, we are already showered in ships, teleporters and other sci-fi stuff

They're a smaller alliance of friends who play the game for kicks like you suggest. Maybe they have a shiny ship or two. They might have enough ISK to wipe my ass with. Either way me and the squad headed over there and destroyed all their ships, infiltrated their guild and robbed their meager funds, then flaunted it in their face as we sailed into the nonexistent space sunset. and CCP Games patted us on the back for it.

    Yeah, great times.
    That's pretty much exactly it.

    I bought EVE on release. I was super-excited, but as I played it for a few months, it rapidly became clear that this was indeed basically a game about toxic people harassing people who were trying to play a space-trading/space-PvP MMO, especially once it really got going. It's only got worse over the years.

    The idea that it's a "progression for mature people" from WoW is amazing.

    It's a bit like me trying to tell a room full of normal people that if they're "mature" and want to "progress" they should become street-level crack dealers or something.

    WoW isn't immature. Some of the players are.
    And that is going to be the case for any game.

    You are not going to have a good time.
    This pretty much sums up EVE Online.

    To be fair, they added the ability to basically buy skillpoints using ingame currency. And you can effectively buy ingame currency with actual money by selling PLEX (think wow tokens).

    Its something i noted the last time i logged in when i was checking out the god-awful f2p changes.

    The whole game is built like oGame and the likes, which require new servers every few months to give new players a chance.
    Minor changes like the one you mentioned don't fix anything.

    I think they were pointing out the fact that you were being condescending while stating people were condescending. Unrelated, the typo in your avatar makes me twitch.

    As much as I love EVE, I don't always recommend it to everyone...

    You can't really compare wow to a space spreadsheet but okay.
