Ya know, I rarely frequent the forums, but after reading this little hell hole of a topic, I had an epiphany and felt the need to post.
I've been paying to play for over 3.5 years, and in that time I've had some long periods where I couldn't actually play the game due to RL. In those times I remember how fun it was to play from when I started. But in the recent comeback to the game again, I've been mildly disappointed with EVE. I couldn't figure out why till tonight. Reading this forum has enlightened me, and now I share my enlightenment with you!
First, some background. I spent my early time in 0.0, going there only 8 days into the game as a buddy got me into EVE to start with. Loved it, tho it was risky. Our alliance collapsed, and the corp moved to empire. Got into missioning for isk/standings, was OK. Life threw me a curveball and I had to stop playing. When I came back, the corp was dead, my buddy wasn't on the same times I was, blah blah blah. Since then, I've been discontented like I said above. Now I know why. When I left the game it was fun, and I looked forward to playing it when I had the chance. Now, it's just not fun anymore. And no, it's not the loss of the L5 missions in high sec - I'm running L3's now grinding standing. And that's my point - I'm grinding. This is supposed to be fun entertainment, not work. And it's just not fun anymore. So I may be letting my subscription go soon, but I'm not sure yet. All I know is that something needs to change soon because I don't see any reason to keep paying to play this game anymore.
And for those who live for PvP and player interaction, I haven't met more than 2 people in the last few months that I want to talk to at all. Everyone else just seems like ****y griefer to me and I have no desire to associate with people like that. So there's no social pull from the players for me - sorry if that offends, but I don't get along with those I've been seeing in game. And since we all play the same game on the same server, well...
I guess I agree with several of the posters earlier (the most people I've agreed with in game for ages) that the direction CCP seems to be taking this game is not the direction I want to go. And no, this isn't whining, if I really feel that way when the payment is coming I will cancel my sub. I don't want to, I'd love to find some reason to keep playing, but right now it's just not fun. I'm not into PvP right now, I don't have the isk income to support it, and it's hard to find people to run with. And if you need to go to areas where PvP is common to make isk to support PvP, that just seems like a catch-22. 'Need isk to PvP but have to (risk)PvP to make isk'. For the record, I'm almost broke in game, and it's taking forever to get enough isk to do anything - hence the fun kill. (I'll admit, I lost almost everything being stupid - my bad). I can't afford to do what I want, and I can't make the isk to fix that situation. Also, it doesn't hurt to mention that I'm just not really into PvP anyway - even when I lived in 0.0. What to do?? (other than let it go and stop wasting money on non-fun?)
