"This also means that people who have played for years are impossible to catch up to."

I totally hate this preconception about EVE. There are only 5 level tiers you can train, meaning you can catch up to even a 6 year veteran in a few months if not sooner. The key is specializing of course, training for a certain shipclass instead of them all. Sure, a 6 year veteran can do a lot more stuff than you can, but hey, he or she has been playing for 6 years. That still doesn't mean you can't train up an assault frigate and other relevant skills to their maximum, and be able to fight and win players much older than you. Of course they also have game experience, but it doesn't really take that long to understand fairly simple mechanics of the game. EVE really only looks complex, once you wrap your head around it, it's like "how didn't I figure that out sooner."
