Am I missing something? I have tried to play this game twice now in the past year and just don't get it. Half of this game is waiting for skills to train and the other half is doing the most repetitive "missions" in any MMO ever. And PvP? LOL Gate camping for hours on end hoping some noob wanders by is laughable. More power to you who enjoy this game but WOW its the biggest time sink and bore out there. The sad part is there is a great game under all the time sink and lazy missions & gate jumping etc.
I don't usually get on forums and do this but this game warranted a post. I cant see how so many of you spend so much time with this...web browser. Yes yes flame on and tell me to go back to WoW. Just gotta say...
EVE = Most Boring MMO Ever.

Eve is a sandbox, so don't do what everyone else does and expect it to be 'fun'. 族---族

This is EVE. EVE is all I know. I live in a secluded basement. I havn't seen daylight in years. I don't know what a girl is.
At least I enjoy my obsession :D

I liked sneaking around in the "most popular" MMO out there. After I snuck everywhere there was nothing but leveling left. In EVE I sneak around and every time I do so I take the risk of being the new guy getting blown up, well not so new anymore, and I do not need to do mindless hack-n-slash to get experiance. Every time I fly I learn something new and all I have to do to do something else in game is set a different skill to train on its own. It works for me.
You need to explore the game and find something that interests you. I bet all games would get boring after awhile, like most things in life. If you are unable to find something you like then move on.

Edited by: Sidus Isaacs on 06/01/2009 19:11:19 try low sec pirating, it can be quite fun and interesting at times. I have had severl good hours doing so :). Join an alliance, do some empire building. Get a cov ops ship and explore, do something else you can think of. Imo missions is only there to give me isk, nothing more. And I use that isk for PvP stuffs ^^.
If you do not like it I woul happyly take your stuff for you, for safe keeping.

Never used my legos to build the things they were meant for. I wish they would have just sold a box of random pieces back then. Much more entertaining to play around and try new things, than to follow a manual to an end result you already see on the box.

He's got a point...
Eve could be so much more if some actual effort were put into missions (especially FW Missions)... too bad the devs are too busy cheating their arses off to help the big alliances

/me remembers the adrenaline jag I got off that time I warped out in my Rifter with with a Vagabond barreling in on me as I waited for a plex timer to count down to finish a plex.
Margin of survival: measured in milliseconds. Plex: captured. Adrenaline spike: serious.
Obviously we're just not playing the same EVE. Yep you're missing something. Then again if all you can successfully fight is newbies, we really don't need your type around here.

I'm almost 25 and I still wish I had my giant box of legos...I think my family would think I'm crazy though since I'd have to get the box from their house...

Well I see why you found Eve boring.
Now here is the equivalent of what you did in WoW terms.
Run dailies everyday, and that's it. Then go to level alchemy all day, and that's all. Also, gank level 20s who have just gone into their first contested territory with 5 of your level 80 friends. Would you still find it fun?
An MMO is as fun as you make it.

Yes you are obviously from your post...
Originally by: Selora Felina Half of this game is waiting for skills to train and the other half is doing the most repetitive "missions" in any MMO ever.
If you are "waiting" for skills to train they you have missed out on the whole point of the skill system. While the skills are traing you do know you can undock and do other things right? DOH! As for the missions, guess you have not played much LOTRO or WoW, they are as boring if not more so.
Originally by: Selora Felina And PvP? LOL Gate camping for hours on end hoping some noob wanders by is laughable.
What is truly laughable is if this is the only PvP you know. I have done a bit of PvP and I can tell you less than 10% has been involving a gate camp. But then again I guess the noob is the PvPer that thinks gate camps are all there is to PvP.
I would reply to the rest of your post but seriously why bother.

This! EVE's sandbox environment makes in unchallenged in what you actually can do in this game. YOu can be a "slum lord" in low sec, you can join big alliances, you can be a pirate, you can run misison (I find it tedious, but it generates isk), you can play the market, you can do industy, you can do a lot. You can do stuff other never though of if you are creative enough.
But most of all, join a player corp, the interaction with other players is what makes an MMo worth it by far. If you only want to so solo stuff get a RPG like Fallout 3 (also a great game imo, for a solo game :) ).

This is a game for smart people, generally speaking you need a triple digit IQ to play and have fun. Your double digit IQ is preventing you from getting it, it's not your fault.

Since when are quests in WoW not repetitive? Go kill 30 things then come back here. Now go collect 20 of this item by killing 40 things then come back here. Now go talk to that guy over there. Now go kill 20 things then come back here. Now go gather 10 things then come back here. And on and on and on... Not sure how that is any different than running missions in EVE (which is also why I don't run missions in EVE either).

Your not missing a thing.
You had a laughable attempt at playing this game once then went away when the tutorials ran out, now you've come back and made the same mistake a second time.
Bad Luck... or something.

You mean like the Murlocs with no eyes, the Boars without livers, or wolves without skins?
I always shudder when I think of those Ogre Warbeads, God only knows what they used them for...
