Going to organize PVP related stuff here for my Eve Tip of the Day things.

Want to PVP?  Easy.   Join Faction Warfare or Join a Corporation in Wormholes, Null sec, or Low sec.  I prefer Null sec personally.

And it's just practice. Learning the buttons in Eve UI , take a Tackling 101 class, etc.

Eve is PVP game

Eve is ALWAYS a PVP game.  You can say 'Well, I don't like PVP.'  Then go play a different game.  You cannot escape it.

And you are competing against people with

• more knowledge

• better button pushing

• More isk

• All the skill points.

And that's ranked in the order of importance.  All of these benefit from better ships, strategies, better modules, better skills, more isk.

• You compete against industrialists.  With near infinite wallets, better helper tools, perfect tax reduction, better markets, better refining.

• You compete against them in finding sites.  With covops and great speed in button pressing.

• You compete against them ratting faster.  With better button pushing and skills taking the lead here.

• You compete against them mining.  With Omega, in better areas.  Or AFK miners which suck all profit out of anything easy.
