This is General Discussion so I thought I'd bring up a "General Topic"
Farming - I hate it. It seems like such a trivial waste of time. Newer games seem to pride them selves on "Farming" IE D3, or any traditional MMO. You reach max level, you do dungeons, get gear to do better dungeons to get better gear. I think that is why I enjoy eve so much, yes you can "Farm" but its not the main style of game play. There are many other things you can do. What I don't get is why so many people actually enjoy farming. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result, that is farming to me.
tl;dr = Farming is stupid

I wouldn't say I'm complaining. Its a observation in modern trend I see in video games. And there really isn't a fix.
Griding missions is a little different cause the rewards arn't so variable. My issue is that Farming has become an acceptable form of game play. Making Farming an end game mechanic seems lazy.

/thread ^^ This. The whole point of Eve, is that you do not have to actually do anything. Except pay CCP for the priviiedge of doing nothing. Don't like farming? Don't do it.
I know this. I'm just pointing out its a lazy end game mechanic in a lot of games. Instead of adding something new or worth while, like additional story, different classes, new styles of game play, new ways to interact. I don't farm in Eve, that is why I like the game and what makes it unique. Most modern games all involve a form of farming of a sort. I guess I miss the days when a game had a conclusion. instead of a end less carrot on a stick (Eve does that too tho).

If you are busy in RL:
1st monitor: Lick asteroids in your Retriever/Mack
2nd monitor: Do whatever needs to be done
If you aren't busy in RL:
1st monitor: Do whatever you want to do in EVE
2nd monitor: Lick asteroids in your Retriever/Mack on your 2nd account
win-win situation!
Lick.....Asteroids.

No its not like that. this is not Eve related. Yes there is farming in Eve, but its not the ONLY way like in alot of games.
