Hello, lately I have ran alot missions in highsec. I even skilled Maruders on several of my Characters. I enjoyed it for a while, it tends to be boring from time to time but the isk made it worth it. It paid for my plexes amongst other things. After this last patch I dont really see much used for my rather expensive Maruders. I dont plan on missioning much in the future, It was merely meant to be a temporarly thing but I actually enjoyed it. The option to logon for 2 - 3 hours a day and run some missions.
I dont play every day, its probably 4 - 5 days a week as I have a real life, job and much to timeconsuming female companion. This option is still there offcourse but the income has been severly nerfed for me as a missionrunner.
What would you do? I have enough isk for plexes in the future aswell but I dont really see any use for 3 characters if pvp is my next mean of gameplay. Neither will I put any effort into PI at all. I have completed amarr and caldari cosmos several times as I found those missions somewhat challenging. Not rewarding, but challenging. I have tried 0.0 mining. In deep sov systems that was very good isk monthly, im not going to go into numbers but it was nearly safe as empire mining and somewhat more rewarding then lvl 4 missioning. On the other side it was very boring.
I have tried living in a wormhole, didnt find that very fun.
I feel I have tried everything in this game that I wanted to try out. As it stands now I dont know what todo and if I even need all my accounts. What would you do? I have 2 combat characters incase pvp is somewhat rewarding in fun, but living in nulsec for a time was a turnoff for me. The constant cta and blob wasnt really how I wanted to play eve. Please post suggestion, this isnt really a stealth lvl 4 mission nerf whine.

Move this back to general discussions, its not about missionrunning. Its about what else then missionrunning can be rewarding in either isk or fun. Did you even read it or did you move it on flimse?!

Try Agony (if you like small gang pvp) - very limited CTA's (only since the Providence invasion - and we reset everyone to neutral a.s.a.p.), great FC's, and good people. Constantly trying new pvp ideas (even, occasionally, crazy ones!).
Other than that - Noir Mercenary Group, or one of the other Merc groups would be happy to have you (I would think).
Good luck in Eve. Please re-size your signature to the maximum allowed of 400 x 120 pixels with a maximum file size of 24000 bytes. Zymurgist NO! |

I think this is the correct forum for this subject.
My personal experience is that exploration is both pretty good isk and a lot more fun than running missions. There is also a nice balance risk vs. reward when comparing high-, low- and null-sec.

Well that would depend on the outcome of this hence why i think GD is the more correct place. But exploration doesnt really sound fun, I have done a couple plexes in the past. Farmed some of the static cosmos plexes, dont know if thats comparable, but I have never found anything more boring then that (it was truly worse then mining ice)
Pvp does sound like something I could consider but the main problem is that Im a very casual player, some days I dont log in at all, other days (when my gf isnt around) I can sit 12 hours.
Atm I have a decent passive income, isk wasnt the reason for me starting lvl 4 missions, but the nerf is what I needed so desperatly to get out of it. That is the main reason I dont want to bother with trying PI either, I fear it would make me get to greedy again and focusing to much on the isk and less on the fun.

I've been playing the since just about a month before Dominion. I started out doing tutorials then went straight into null sec and tried hard to never turn back.
I think when I have isk, the game is boring for me. I'm capable of making upwards to a Billion ISK every few days in Null but the game gets repetitive just focusing on the ISK generation. Instead, I'd join up in a fleet and go get a few ships blown up, or I'd tempt fate in a complex and get a billion isk (fitted) ship lost to just go replace it.
My fun is found where I play a see-saw game with my wallet and find myself sometimes down to 1 ship and very little isk and try to work myself back up again. My alliance seems to do the same thing where we started in Provi, moved to scalding pass and found it not to suit our alliance and are actually now working to go straight into a war zone. All these things make the game fun for me. Mission running takes a back seat for me as I can't stand it. I dislike the security of High Sec space. It's too easy and doesn't give me the rush I get in null sec.
All in all... I don't advise an alliance who has been given space because, while you'll have your choice in what you want to do with your time, I think it detracts from what EVE is about. EVE is chaotic and playing into the chaos is what makes the game fun for me. My advice, from my point of view, would be to join an alliance where there are a lot of mixed minded players who are struggling to find their niche in EVE. Spend as much of your easily farmed isk trying to help them succeed. I find the frustrations of fighting to make something work makes this game akin to my wallet, a constant see-saw. When and if you finally are able to build in this game, I think you'll feel as though you've accomplished something and be proud of your work. You could always just join a null sec alliance who has already been given space or a renter alliance, but again, this takes away from the chaos that is EVE for me and I'd feel as though I'd get bored too easily.

You are not the typical EvE player. Having real life? Come on! A job? EvE players are supposed to be all rich retired 35 old or mom's basement dwellers! Females companions? Yeah but only on the portraits. - Auditing & consulting
