Stoned Wish	Posted - 2010.02.14 09:05:00 - [1] What do you guys like to do in eve to completely waste time? I'm not refering to mission running or spending 3 hours mindlessly mining :P I mean just completely and utterly wasting time. Me personally I like to go to the system sun and turn my graphics to max and just watch it for a while, sometimes do some spinning :D

Akita T Caldari Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2010.02.14 09:38:00 - [6] Arguing with trolls and/or morons on the forums is the perfect time-waster. I daresay, even more fun than station-spinning ! Occasionally, helping out some guys with their issues, but that's not exactly a complete waste of time (but then again, not of much use to me), so not sure if it really counts. _ Beginner's ISK making guide \| Manufacturer's helper \| All about reacting _
Gladys Pank Amarr Trillionaire High-Rollers Suicidal Bassoon Orkesta	Posted - 2010.02.14 09:39:00 - [7] Everything in internet spaceships is wasting time.

Chainsaw Plankton IDLE GUNS IDLE EMPIRE	Posted - 2010.02.14 09:46:00 - [8] Originally by: Gladys Pank Everything in internet spaceships is wasting time. I think I said that exact phrase a while ago. or maybe it was more like anything mmo is about wasting time.

Vaal Erit Science and Trade Institute	Posted - 2010.02.14 10:24:00 - [10] HOW DARE YOU CALL POSTING ON FORUMS A WASTE OF TIME Originally by: Jim Raynor EVE needs danger, EVE needs risks, EVE needs combat, even piracy, without these things, the game stagnates to a trivial game centering around bloating your wallet with no purpose.

Abbot Laarkin Order Of Mystical Mountain Monks	Posted - 2010.02.14 12:05:00 - [16] Originally by: Gladys Pank Everything in internet spaceships is wasting time. The day I see logging in as a productive use of my time I quit. Having said that, probing out wormholes and anoms with little intention of running them. This to be honest, though would extend that to all types of probing (including finding ships) for no particular reason. I suppose you could argue that the time spent probing is good practice, and therefore not wasted, but to do so would be a waste of time. ---- Originally by: Sir Carnage Originally by: Marko Riva Why does that read like they're all 12 and have an IQ of 37? I was under the impression they were 37 and had an IQ of 12

AFK Cloaker Amarr Imperial Academy	Posted - 2010.02.14 12:13:00 - [18] Cloaking but not AFK.
Dragonmede	Posted - 2010.02.14 14:43:00 - [19] Well, for me it's endlessly searching for alternative ways to make ISK outside of mission running. It's not intended to be a total waste of time and effort, but in the end that's what I have. Recent examples... 1. Cloud Harvesting in High Sec (total waste of training time, effort & ISK) 2. Copying(full run)BPC's of Small Tractor Beams (worthless in every way). Trying to get started in any market or manufacturing seems to be a fail because of established competition. Scanning/Probing in High Sec has become highly popular to the point of being overcrowded. Null Sec and Low Sec are too high risk and costly in equipment losses (more wasted time). So it's back to Mission Grinding in order to feed the PvP monster (the only redemption for an overcrowded sandbox full of Carebears and Concord Cops). <sigh> Really, I'm not as bitter as it sounds ...
Gladys Pank Amarr Trillionaire High-Rollers Suicidal Bassoon Orkesta	Posted - 2010.02.14 15:37:00 - [20] I gave up mission running about a year and a half ago. I wonder how I used to struggle to make isk, thank goodness it takes no effort these days. ~ Soar Like a Penguin

Ikserak tai	Posted - 2010.02.14 18:34:00 - [22] Players who hang outside trade hubs waiting for someone to get ganked with hopes of getting some good salvage seem to have a lot of time to waste. Players who set up warp disruption units in null sec and then wait for some fly to get caught in their trap seem to have a lot of time to waste. Players calling themselves "Ninja" salvagers seem to have a whole lot of time to waste. I make 40+ jumps to 4 different level 4 R&D agents to do the "errand" missions to get extra RPs. I would expect a bunch of players consider that a real waste of time. High sec exploration is often a waste of time. Searching through contracts for a good deal is often a waste of time. Trying to log in at 11:30 Eve time in hopes of a short downtime is really a waste of time. Any noob without a clue joining a player corp thinking it will be to their advantage has a lot of time to waste. YOU'VE NEVER ROCKED 'TIL YOU'VE UNDOCKED.

Hey, but that one ship that happens to be moving a really great deal of ISK worth of stuff then pays off and I can go back to spinning a ship in station again. Hehe.

It's looking like Microsoft is becoming the train company in the trains versus trucking competition.
