The game is increadibly complicated. You just don't have to understand it in depth to play it. Part of the attraction for me is the depth; because it's so deep, there is always the chance to improve a ship fitting, to improve a strategy, to come up with something no one has given serious consideration to before and pull it off. The great diversity and depth in this game means that no one truely understands everything -- you're either a specialist or a dabbler; this is great for social interaction in the game as everyone always has something they could learn from others. EvE is the most fun when you're in a corp (guild) doing ops together. People say this game has the best PvP.
