I firmly believe despite the misconception that Eve is primarily a hardcore pvp game - it is actually a very carebear friendly game that has the option to be pvp oriented if you so desire. It is however extremely focused on the "carebear" (hate the term) /industry gameplay. Without it you would have no game, no substance, no reason or necessity to pvp. Eve did a good job in balancing the two areas.

So all you hardcore pvpers out there that bash carebears - you wouldn't have an economy or reason to pvp without them. You need the sheep. Think...

This thread is going no where and it has become a place for pvpers to flex their epeen power. Both gameplay types are legitimate and one without the other is futile - ying yang folks. So just let this discussion die already.

Impassable terrain is there to create choke points, defend areas on the beta islands, - creates strategy

I agree with some of your other points

Well, I pvp and I carebear at times and there is something to having friends help you carebear in pvp areas...

But despite how you feel about the op I think there is a valid point that is getting lost.

It could happen eventually that only major zerg alliances and corps will own the islands - the average solo carebear will have to join those alliances to carebear in those areas - creating even larger zerg forces

What I like about eve is there is many opportunities for the solo carebear in 0.0 space - I have been there running shipments with my heart pounding making isk and losing isk. But I always felt if I planned well and used my intellect I could get out alive and with isk.

Time will tell if the correct balance of pvp and carebear areas works in perpetuum. If there is only room for complete domination of large zerg/alliance corps and no room for soloers to squeak in and out while earning isk - I do forsee negative outcomes. But only time will tell.

Thing about eve versus perpetuum's is eve has the 3rd or 4th dimension - perpetuum only has the 2nd dimension, a flat ground and there is only so much of it. Eve has so many tucked away systems and wormholes make thriving in high risk areas more likely
