Ha!

I just read someone joking that 'Eve has a near vertical learning curve'.
...
I honestly think my guide softens that curve significantly.

After as little as one month playing, you can be a tackler in PvP and stop enemies from flying away while your corpmates kill the target. Your now-dead opponent might have had 50M skill points, but he couldn't get away from a total noob. Read my PvP page for more detail on this.

It takes a month of playing to reach the rank of "total noob"? No grind there...

With other MMORPGs you're looking at something more like a year.

Also, it's more like one week for an clueless noob with expert guidance to be effective. A veteran player could be effective with a fresh alt after a few hours of training with the right twinking setup. People complain about the training times, but really progress in Eve is more limited by the player's learning pace than the character's.

This guy does a much better job explaining than I do.
