Reduce your bankroll to 1,000,000 isk. Buy a frigate, outfit it for pvp. Pick a low security empire system. Hunt some players for mods. Refine what you get. Buy a BPC, repeat, upgrade from there on up to a BS. Then move a PoS into the system and claim it. Maybe solo that would be fun for you?

Well dono if you were being sarcastic or not. But that's what I do. Sort of like the "Solo Pirate Challenge" I guess. Now that we have small PoS's out, it makes it a bit more fun. So you can run to your small PoS after a good ganking/fight. But its Something to do and profit from and still be solo/cool. I'm doing it over again but having lots of trouble doing it from a Slasher, instead of a rifter :)

Its not just you, I can't find any good reson to login atm. Its the old case of be there done that to death.
Id like to see more npc in 0.0 with very very big bountys so it brings more players out. BIG npc gate camps, convoys so on.
Also they need to have more odd stuff going on in deep space, kinda like npc battles , npc retaking stations and maybe even setting up stations. Lets face it there is alot of space out there but nothing going on.

It's a little bit boring but that's what you get for playing 2yrs straight.
"PVP" simply isn't the answer if you've already done lots of that, though.
Exactly right, anything (yes, even PvP) gets boring after 2 years straight. Hell even 6 months straight gets boring.
I personally am pretty bored with the game, but PvP still gets me going. The worst part of eve is the waiting....2 hours looking for a fight only to have an even sized force run. That part is a game-killer to me.

I do tend to hit that bored point every so often. Although I do play too much.
Change something about how you play the game. Think differently. I went from the Minmatar v Amarr wars to being a pirate. Everything seems different and refreshing again. I'm now looking into getting my faction standings with the other npc pirate factions as another new goal.
So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak. |

Currently, I am in the process of building one each of every Battleship. I am trained in Gallente and Minmatar, while my partner flies Caldari and Amarr. Between us we will eventually be competent to fly anything. This is one goal.
Secondary goal is to train in the various fighting skills with a view toward PvP (as soon as our ********* drop). My partner has many implants and likely his will take longer to drop then mine. I do not use implants.
Other than these goals, we mine, and mine and mine. We have found a very quiet system (I mean there is no one there!) which is rich in ore of all kinds. So we mine and build ships and when the BSs are complete we will sell minerals for further income.
We are not bored; there is never enough time in a day to do all the things we want to do. My partners wife bouoght him a laptop. Now he sits by her side while she watches TV, and we mine. ...and mine ...and mine.

Then don't pvp. Be a carebear. I did for a while, and I was surprised how refreshing it was after a few months of pvp.

You just need to vary what you do. I mine, build, trade, mission run, 0.0 PvP, test out new setups, I could go on.
Anything gets boring if you do it all the time. Even mining is fun, especially when done with others.
If you have an alt, even better. Mine with one and trade with the other. This is one of my most profitable passtimes too while a certain market is good.
Also I find one of the most enjoyable things is getting a totally new ship. If you specialize in certain ships you might be a better PvPer (though I would think this is debatable as people begin to learn what you will be flying) but your missing out on a lot the game has to offer. I plan to be able to use all BS's in PvP and for missions before I go anywhere near a HAC ( Got a Raven and Apoc - megathron next). I'm getting an AF soon but this is just cos I'm still too scared to take a BS into PvP and an AF seems like a good choice to get into it more while remaining reasonably agile (I hate the idea of the big lumbering BS just being wiped out at the 1st gank it meets with no chance of escape and no way to fight back effectively as the odds are overwhelming).
So vary things a bit. I've had the odd moment of feeling a bit lost in Eve but a little effort goes a long way.
And if your a pirate then it will do you good to carebear a bit. See what it's like on the other side so to speak. Or would that scare a pirate when they realise what they have been doing to people all this time (PS - just a friendly dig guys - don't smack me to death now).
Maybe I should take my own advice and try pirating

Well , i am a pure trader girl. And after 2 years, i near never engage in pvp. But now i have POS to supply and produce and i remember the thrill the game give me.
Yesterday, i dock out of a station of the Blood Raiders when a nasty bad guy lock my Impel, scramble me and beging to use is gun... Hearth beat hard, you can feel your blood pass in your neck and you pray you have enough armor/warp core stabilizer to survive/warp away..... what a feeling! No game give me this type of feeling because dead in eve is costly in time/isk.
Finaly, i warp out of Onolaya safely and be back in carebear empire in one piece. But this remember me the fun, the thrill of EVE.
Anything to do is fun, but risk, is the awesome reward.

although the 'try something new' comment has been posted a few times, in the cases of the eve-veterans many have done it all already.
Speaking personally between more than 1 character I have: mined, npc'd, small amounts of alliance blobbing, been a builder, did some agent running, complexes, been a trader...and of course 'legit' PvP as well as small time piracy.
In my case as well as many veterans, it just gets boring after a while no matter what you do plain and simple. Happens after a while no matter what you do. Only real solution I see is taking a break or trying a new game.

Well when things get boring try to set new long term goals and start working towards it. This mostly works for me.

I think this probably sums up the best advice in this thread. There's so much potential in this game to set your own goals, whatever they might be. That's CCP's gift to you, a galaxy of vast possibility.
(Although a few in-depth, in-your-face, kick-ass storylines couldn't hurt. 'OMG save Oursulaert from the Serpentis invasion! The stations are being surrounded by hundreds of frigates, and they're dropping tech 2 bpcs!')

or its just me?
I guess it's just you. Sometimes you get bored at what you. To make eve more exciting, you have to do something new, and there are alot of possibilities, here is a good example of how I made my life in eve go from boring to very interesting. Just an example :)

I find the game goes in bursts. I like getting to do something new or better. So I get board while a long ship skill is training. But once complete it loads of fun for awhile.
Eve will entertain me for a month or two, then I'll take a month off. (only training skills).
To much of anything is bad. You wouldn't expect watching the same Movie over and over to keep you entertained no matter how much you loved the movie.

EVE is one of those games where it totally depends on who you're playing with. I've quit EVE twice before because I'd join a corp, and nobody would be online, or nobody would be doing anything interesting.
But when I play with my RL buddies, I have more of a blast then I could ever imagined possible.
So yes, it's really a matter of finding the right people to play with. Once you've got that, you could play EVE forever and never get bored.

ye it is boring. its same old same old, instead of 231 scorps, ppl fly tempests and tracking disruptors, but the point is, its the same old.
I think I might hop into interceptor and go harass some 0.0 space nobody care about. Or something.

Hey, thats a fun trick, hunt people a bit, then run to your POS, convo another person in local and ask them to tell the person you're hiding from what moon you are at (the pos moon ofc).
I'd like to see the look on their faces when they realize their precious ship is going to be pwned in the next 10 seconds.

I think tbh, it all comes down to how much you let the game absorb you. When the game started - everyone who played it for more than a few months were absorbed by it totally. There were new challenges everyday, history was being written and the new world order involving corporations and legends were being made, alliances were being formed by those with vision and people were picking sides.
Now two years on - things have slowed down and the grind for those of us who have been there since the beginning has started to kick in. We have new players coming in, old players rejoining all whom remember of who are being stunned by the player based story behind EVE. For those of us such as myself, Josh and the others who have been here since day one - the grind has kicked in a bit, certainly on my part, the days of running or having a major influence in the day to day running of our corporations/allainces have faded as our real lifes have started taking control again.
However there is something about EVE that means you just can't put it down. Your best bet is to take a break, cancel your account for a while - go out, get drunk, get a gf, (or at least start paying attention to her again). One night when your broke, or she's not around, you'll sit back with nothing to do and say "Hey, I wonder whats going on in EVE tonight" and you'll return fresh and re discover the game again.
