Line 6:
** Most players rejoiced at the removal of Learning skills, which were largely cited as making new characters not-fun.
** Time dilation, which ''finally'' fixed the massive lag that accompanies giant battles.
* [[
* [[Canon Sue]]: Jamyl Sarum, an odd mix of God Mode and Purity Sues. Beautiful? Check. Popular? Check. Wise? Check. Respected by almost everyone? Check. Has command of the most powerful of the four empires? Check. Destroys an entire Republic armada by herself? Check. Has mystical super-powers in an otherwise non-fantasy world? Check. Got away with subverting one of the most sacred laws of the Empire's religion when the entire Empire is based on religion? More than once, and nobody openly called her on it. She also reunited the Amarr Empire and the Khanid Kingdom, which had been separate for centuries prior, in about a month. There's even rumors that the last Emperor, the one chosen in an event the players participated in and had influence, was deliberately killed off because he was not Jamyl Sarum, to open the path for her return. The Amarr Empire as a whole seems to have deprived themselves of the Idiot Ball they'd been carrying for years (for the most part) since her return; everybody's acting smarter.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Any Capsuleer (player character) that isn't a [[Heroic Sociopath]].
Line 90:
*** And to be completely honest, what ''really'' got up a lot of EVE players' noses was the announcement that Dust 514 would be a console ''exclusive'' game, when EVE is about as PC as games can get.
** ''Incarna'' added vastly overpriced vanity items buyable for real money. Cue players trying to shut down the Jita system in protest.
* [[Scrappy Mechanic]]: The Apocrypha probing system has drawn criticism both for "[[It's Easy, So It Sucks|scrubbing down]]" probing and for adding [[Fake Difficulty]] in sorting through scan results. Some of these concerns, especially about [[Fake Difficulty]], have been addressed in patches since then, however.
** Prior to Apocrypha, the challenge wasn't in button-pressing. It was in creating an efficient set of bookmarks that properly covered every planet in every system that you wanted to scan... ''without'' the ability to place one probe inside of another's scan radius. Depending on skills, you also had a long and boring wait for results. And the incarnation of scanning before ''that'' was also Scrappy.
** Faction Warfare has been getting a lot of Scrappy hate lately. It started out promising, but after two years of almost no mechanics changes, some half-broken fixes, a rather boring capture mechanic and a few [[Game Breaker]] issues, the players who want to like it are getting fed up and the players who don't snipe at others to [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys|go play the real game in 0.0]].
** Generally, almost every major update, one or more new Scrappy Mechanics will emerge as old ones get fixed or nerfed and new things are introduced. Nano Tanking, Black Ops, Blasters, Warp Stabalizers...
* [[Scrub]]: Some alliances think that spying on their enemies is a cheap move; they don't do it, and they complain when they get beaten by alliances that do use spies.
* [[Squick]]: {{spoiler|1=[http://www.eveonline.com/background/potw/default.asp?cid=28-06-10 Perime Veaulore]}}. He's not healthy, you know.
* [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys]]: Alliance warfare is [[Serious Business]]. This led to Band of Brothers's undoing. A senior BoB member grew so tired of its overly serious mentality he betrayed them to a rival group, [[Something Awful|Goonswarm]], stealing over 20 billion isk in assets and dissolving the BoB alliance.
* [[That One Level]]: Jita, the largest trade hub which is often so overcrowded that death by lag is commonplace there.
** Jita has the dubious honour of being the only high-security system marked in the player-made sovereignty maps displaying who owns territory - with a gigantic, ominous black cloud.
* [[Wham Episode|Wham Day]]: [http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1262549 The Day The Cluster Stood Still]. GoonSwarm, the largest and most notorious alliance in EVE, spontaneously collapsed on 3rd February, 2010.
* [[What an Idiot!]]: [http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/65110 KenZoku, formerly Band of Brothers, was dealt a serious blow] during the war in Delve, when they docked the entire cap fleet in the same station and logged off, whereupon Goonswarm promptly locked it down for nearly the entire month of February 2009. [http://images.tentonhammer.com/eve/delve.gif This happened].
