Edited by: Vikarion on 28/10/2008 08:11:00 Well, I'm not here to indulge in a pity party or to announce a rage-quit. I'm actually asking for suggestions on what I could do in Eve that is still fun.
I enjoy PvP and PvE, but I have to admit that I've rather lost my taste for both for some reason. My favorite thing to do was solo PvP, but that's pretty much dead. And the body is starting to smell.
So far I've tried...
Mining. After about two months of it, I quit and haven't looked back.
Building. I built a few ships for my alliance when I was out in 0.0 And ammo when I was in Empire. Amongst other things. Reading in the bathroom is more exciting.
Low-sec piracy. Just a little bit, but I discovered that it's full of HICs, HACs, and tons of other ships that I frankly hate flying. And other pirates are pretty much all you find besides blobs. Did I mention that I like having a positive sec status?
Macro-ganking. Great fun for the first day. Then it got a bit repetitive. Not to mention that it took me 2 weeks to get back into empire with my sec standings. On the plus side...65 kills.
0.0 Warfare. I discovered that I really, really don't like going out for a gang every evening to only find ratters hiding, then getting camped in an NPC station/Outpost for hours. And POS warfare sucks. Actually, POS's suck, period. You spend 2-3 days getting them fueled and the other 27 worrying about how you're gonna get the next load of fuel.
Ratting. I think it may have temporarily damaged my brain. Only fun I had was trying to gank Ishtars that stupidly tried to kill me. And they stopped after a couple tries.
Plexing. Sure. Plexing is great fun. All you have to do is find a good one, which only takes roughly half of the Jurassic period, and then you are good to go. Well, after you sneak your battleship by three roving gangs and a gatecamp. If you are really lucky, you might even get a complex where something actually valuable might spawn! Oh joy!
Missioning: It was fun the first one hundred times. Now it's just old.
Can-flipping: All the stupid people seem to have left. Or they come back with 6 corpmates, all in ravens or drakes. Kind of hard to kill in a punisher.
Empire war-decs: Used to be quite fun. Now, everyone simply Xs up, stays docked, or, most likely, jumps corps and happily makes a new one.
Suicide ganking: One retriever, two retriever - hey! Why am I at -4 sec status already? I do actually like flying in Empire, unfortunately.
So, admittedly, this is rather a whine. But what's there to do for a misanthropic, solo-pvp-loving player who hates x-ing up, and hates carebearing?

^^this seems like its your only option at this point, considering you don't like much else - but soloers in any multiplayer game are always going to be stomped on by those who work together
Good luck, anyhow _____________________

Try out the missions,the only storyline and RP in the game.
It's like playing the soloplayer campaign of Battlefield
Then do it in a destroyer

Why is there always some assclown who has to say that? It was funny the first time, like 7 years ago.
OP, I'm asking myself the same question. EVE has a lot to offer but once you're done, you're done. Trick is then to STAY away. Eve is like crack and I *cannot* understand why... |

Aye, but he ain't done it yet.
He likes PVE, so, missions=pve goodness.

Not to mention ISK. been there, done that. But I AM going back, as soon as there is a point in doing it all, because I do find it "fun" and "interesting". So for now I am simply gathering more skillpoints I know will be useful for me in FW as well as making enough money to keep me going for quite some time. |

Factional warfare does actually seem somewhat promising, either that or trying Empire wardecs again. I don't mind selling GTCs - as long as CCP allows it, it isn't cheating. --------

I know your not into blobs....it can be fun if you find somone that will fight you without an overly huge blob, also trolling milita is fun but other than that its not great. You will probably get a couple weeks enjoyment out of it if you find a decent system without to many huge blobs. Personly I dont understand how people like lagging out in a blob fight that takes no real skill

I find that when I'm burned out on something I leave. I haven't played eve in about 2 months now.
Then again I guess you can skill up in forum trolling like me.

Market PvP. With just one mission worth of rat loot you can annihilate the wallets of several traders. It's great fun.
No explosions though.

I find trading fun. Factional warfare is also worth trying out. Scagga is running for the CSM, see his campaign thread to know of his standpoints! |

Get 3-4 friends who have the same EVE schedule as you. Solo PvP may be a dying trade but 3-4 good pilots flying together makes the game ALOT more fun.

I actually got to that point, without trying mining,building, ratting in 0.0 etc. FW is pretty much the only thing that kept me in as long as I am. But the sub ends soon and will most likely stay that way. As far as why you can't understand. I wonder if its the same reason people won't leave WoW. All they do is grind for gear to grind for better gear. Yet they stay. |

I don't get this. People make it a point to find a point in a game. Just play and have "fun" like you mentioned. It's a video game, there is no point. I think this thinking sours out a lot of games. Like in WAR people make it a point to get to 40 as fast as possible. Whats the fun in that? Just play and have fun. If your not, then leave, like me. |

You could do what most of us do, and take a break and do something else. walk in the park, play another game, harass people on the night shift at the local Waffle House. Skills train even when you aren't playing, so it's not like you would be missing anything. It's the great part about this game that you can't get in others. You can play while not playing.
