So, I was thinking, for many people video games are a form of escapism. EVE is an MMO, a video game where you're inhabiting the same world as a few hundred thousand other people.
How many people come home from work or school, and login to EVE, and then promptly pick up some missions, and then proceed to be anti-social and avoid all contact with other humans.
How many people use missions as means of escapism, to escape from what is already in itself escapism? |

Same, I just met a girl, and she is neutral towards me.
I will not be voting in the CSM election, so you need to go vote to make up for me. |

Dont see how eve is anti social. Unless your playing it on your own, in which case your doing it wrong.
Well your not but try interact with your locals. I log on and talk to people from around the world every day on voice comms and in chat, thats pretty social. Iv made friends and visited friends all around europe that i met in games. 2 of them turned out to be really hot women also (shocker).
Id love to play Eve more tbh but with work i get on for like 1 hour every day except for weekends. Most women have terrible standings set for me :( ha |

This topic probably sounded better in your head before you typed it out. Now it's just a jumble of words that don't really mean anything. Escapism from escapism? What kind of rubbish is this? The game itself is escapism. Choosing to play solo is not escapism, choosing to play is. |

I just met a girl, but she doesn't like me because she didn't know we met. If she knew we met, I'd probably have to kill her.

I just met a girl, dropping on my head in a Drake to kill me. She failed, so I asked her to dance. |

One more attempt to tell other people how to play the game they pay for.
Since Eve is the game that tries to be as nasty and mean as real life, it's not very good for escapism. |

When they set you to red it means they're playing hard to get.
Pirates are red, buddies are blue, if you're unlucky enough to be orange, I'll f*cking kill you.I wonder if all the pickles in the forums are tax exempt? |

If they set you to orange they just want to use you for LP D:
I'd set you to blue any day. Rawr.

Are you trying to be existential? Because you aren't doing very well.
Players that do missions do so because that is what they pay to play. That's their game. If you don't like it, then line up with everyone else that hates something, both real and imagined.

Avoiding other people should be pretty far down the list of reasons to play and mmo.

You can solo in eve, come home from work and run missions until you puke. Your options are pretty much endless.
Don't come to the forums asking though, the same people who shout sandbox and do whatever you want, are the same people telling you your doing it wrong.
Play the way you want until you feel your ready to move on to something new. |
