I have played Eve Online so many hours, and it's a bad game. Don't do it. you will spend hundreds of hours dreaming about the cool thing you'll do later, but for 99% of players the cool thing will never happen. You will be part of the one percent's cool thing.

Do you have a similar game?

Starcraft 2 custom games, i loved custom games back in the day but right now you need to grind to get to the good stuff in most of the maps and the community is weird since most have been playing for too long and aren’t friendly to noobs.

I miss the time where i could go into a random custom game and just learn the map on the go, bot having to grind or learn the correct upgrade path.

Oh man this same thing has happened in AOE2 custom games!

I was 1500 ELO and got kicked out of a custom map room for being a noob by a 500 ELO player.

Like... are you kidding me? You can't beat the easiest AI and you think you can be a bully and call folks noobs?

No idea why custom map folks are like that.

AOE2 custom games suck, there’s only cba :/. I miss archer blood, old castle blood, market blood and the weird tower defense maps. Sometimes i check the lobby and most are just 1v1 maps or skirmish type of maps.

It's CBA, Forest nothing, then 1v1 and team games.

Where are the Free for alls? King of the hills? The 30K other mods? Like it's just CBA elitist's most of the time that'll call for a requeue if one player "feeds"

At least sc2 has many more playable mods, most are unaccesible because of the “prestige” mechanics but at least there’s variety and a lot of TD variations that can be played alone.

I haven’t played cba since the definitive version launched and I won’t join any game due to fear of being kicked out, I hate how elitist this community has becomed.
