If that was what you did in EvE, then you sir, have only played 0.1% of this game. Really.
That game is the most complex game on the market today.
There are several hundreds of things you can do in that game, and it will take years to learn it all.
That is definitly one of the most hardcore games out there.
Try and look at this, and you will see how you really missed out on a great game!

Edit: Really i think, EvE was way to complex for you, you simply did not understand the game.
