i been playing for about 1.5 years i did mining and missioning mostly. I tried trading for a while but i find the constant updating of prices a chore. so for the pass 6 months i did nothing but l4. I just do enough to get a plex every month so i dont have to pay. I tried to join a pvp corpc but i never felt there was any pvp. I was just doing the same things i was doing before i joined c(grinding missions). They say there will be pvp roaming next week, but i dont think i can wait that long and the fact that i know i probably wont get into any epic battles makes me want to quit the corp.
1 guess my question is how do you have fun in this game??
also is there anyone else that just do nothing but l4 mission?
also, is there any corp that do nothing but L5 or stuffs like that? |

Playing this game alone i think is your main problem, I'm sure there are plenty of corps that run level 5s or you could join a wormhole corp, which could be fairly pve focused. I think without pvp you will still get bored eventually, I'd say try and find a corp with people you like, maybe in fw / lowsec, be prepared to lose ships and get some kills. I'm surprised you say there is never any pvp, don't know which corps these are you joined but I think low sec and NPC null actually has a fair bit of small gang (fun) pvp going on now.
tl;dr find other people to play with |

Join a decent corp/alliance get some pvp.
You're first step though: Leave Hi-sec |

You answered your own question. Sov null = zero pvp for most people. Blues as far as the eye can see, then everyone docks up when a neutral is reported until a "FC" comes on. Sov bears are just as risk-averse as high-sec bears, they just have better intel channels. |

i always wanted to leave but what is there to do in low sec besides getting kill or killing people? i dont think doing l4 in lowsec is a good idea. |

If you want to PvP, why would you be doing level 4s?
If you don't want to just roam around looking for PvP, try exploring, scan down some wormholes, or run some DED complexes. There's plenty to do if you look for it. |

Why isn't a good idea to do lvl 4's in low sec? You don't like more isk? You are behind the 'safety' of acceleration gates. As long as you watch d-scan for probes you get time to get out if someone is looking for you. |

Ignore this goonpilot. The most entertaining PVP is to be found either in highsec or wormhole space. Lowsec - you'll get gatecamped to hell. Nullsec - same, but you also get blobbed by 500 people flying titans. "We will create the introduction thread if that is requested by the community. Also, we will have an ISD Seminar about the CCL team in the coming weeks in which you can ask your questions about the CCL team and provide some constructive feedback to us." - Countless pages of locked threads and numerous permabanned accounts later, change is coming. |

im very lazy when it comes to missioning l4. I only do enough to pay for plex each month. i play like 1 to 2 hours a day if i average it out. I guess that isnt too bad i guess.
Also, the thing about L4 is i do them for bounty , loot and salvage. I dont even consider LP rewards at all. I do my l4s very close to trading hub RENS , so i can sell loots and salvage at good price. If i go to low sec for l4. not only there is increase risk of ganks, but i also will have trouble moving loots to sell in a cargo ship once in a while. |

Hopefully this is a troll.
Highsec "PvP" is a joke. Lowsec PvP is decent, but stale and predictable. Null and WH is where its at. It is quite easy to avoid a fleet. TEST Alliance BEST Alliance |

Why are you still talking about doing level 4s? I thought you were bored with them? Stop thinking about going places just to do level 4s and do something else for crying out loud. |

L4s are terrible, I make 50 mill ticks in bounties (150 an hour) and i don't loot/salvage. Plex done in 3 hours. |

another thing i like to say about pvp in general is there is no point to pvp except for the sake of pvp. The kind of pvp that i am interested in is real battles where your whole alliance can take over stations or defending your stations from attackers. Those really interest me. |

i do it for a plex a month. That is the only reason i still play because this game isnt about grinding. your character skill up over time. So as long as i have subscribtion, i will be more powerful over time. i hope with better skills , i will be able to go low or null sec .

Dead wrong. Almost everything I do is in lowsec these days. Yeah I'm usually fighting larger numbers, but I do FW so I use plex entrances to split my enemies up, or fly fast skirmish ships so I can try for 1v2 or 1v3 fights and disengage if things look grim.
Actually, to be completely honest I don't understand why lowsec is such a dead zone. The money out there is better than highsec, and the risks are quite manageable if you have a shred of situational awareness and know how to abuse cloak MWD warps to get around. I do all my PvP and PvE in lowsec, with the exception of trading which I dabble in on occassion, but I'm terribad at that so it barely counts. |

sorry for doublepost, but I wanted to address this quickly. Lowsec isn't for you then, although it *can* serve as a training area for small scale combat. You learn a lot pretty quickly out there, but you don't want to linger there. The real place for you is probably w-space. Null combat is *extremely* meaningful, but from what I've heard all the CTAs and blobbing does make it feel that your part in the conflict is very small. W-space combat on the other hand is intense. It's you against your neighbors, and a single kill can yield you half a billion isk against many w-space corps. The money incentives are high, and you will often need to defend your space. |

EvE is game about space ships, and the tactics, weapon systems you use when flying in space. And to OUTSMART/GANK/BLOB/ ABUSE your way to victory with linked alts, falcons etc and dual boxing in pew pew. But all this is only scratching on the surface when it comes shooting other pilots in space.
Also the deceivingly simple task of chosing modules for your ship to fulfill a role or be able to pull off a special tactic .
The purpose of EvE is to do whatever it takes to keep you in space ships.
There is also the market if you are the spreadsheets guy. In the market everything is pvp.
Then we have the meta game (trollfest advanced covert activity, infiltration and spying and outright Social engineering Real time on Vent, TS. you decide. However you will only see it if you start interacting with real people not red Xs and sitting in station spinning your ship or changing hardeners for your mission.
this game is indeed very boring if you get stuck in the L4-->buy plex loop.
Be creative. Be BOLD pilot and stay Bold. |
