Would you consider "EvE online" hardcore?

I am not a friend of comparing games and saying this one is hardcore and that one is not, because its just stupid... You can not compare games!

Every game have harder parts and easier parts. The same is when you say just by playing some days not even reaching endgame you can not tell if the game is good or bad.
You need to play a game longer to judge if it is for YOU harder or easier than other games YOU played, but thats nothing you can say generally, it was for YOU and can not be same for others...
There are way too many factors who influence the gaming experience and only if you keep all those factors the same you truly can compare!
