I will not deny that the learning curve is steep. But, as much as there are "very bad" people in Eve that "want your stuff", there is also the other kind that will go above and beyond to help newbs out. You see the depths of depravity and the heights of virtue, all mixed up into one.
I agree that it all depends on what you are looking for in a game. But to the topic at hand, I would have to just say there are several ways of measuring success. Hopefully for WoW, the candle that burns twice as bright will not last half as long.
