Mara Rinn Cosmic Industrial Complex Cosmic Consortium 897	Posted - 2012.01.02 23:20:00 - [121] - Quote DeMichael Crimson wrote: Agent, Corporation and Faction Standings. ^ this I run missions for: NPC standings passing time doing something in EVE that feels semi-productive, when I have enough time to log on but not enough time for group activities. Log in, chat, run missions. watching my ships travel through space. Seriously, courier missions are great for the passive entertainment: autopilot + Ctrl+F9. Sit that screen to the side while I do some programming, read email, catch up on my RSS feeds, etc.

Spy 21 Lonetrek Exploration and Salvage 2	Posted - 2012.01.05 15:51:00 - [123] - Quote On one of my earlier characters I ran L4 missions exclusively for nearly a year before moving on to the Null Sec alliance scene. What did I get out of it? Hours of mindless enjoyment Ever better ships and mods (nearly no limit to how much isk you sink into a ship) The daily challenge of completing the missions faster and faster (ended up being able to wax BS rats in just over 60 seconds) The adventure and challenge of thwarting ninjas The occasional mega-awesome drop Isk, Isk, and more ISK (a goal all it's own) The ability to indulge an obsession with setting little records for myself in terms of mission rewards and LP conversions The comedy of coming to the forums and finding out my very existence seems to **** some people off to no end! Cheers. Spy
Jyla Olanaki Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2012.01.06 02:58:00 - [124] - Quote I still run a lot of missions whenever I get a chance to hop out of my wh for a while. The standing grind is part of it as i'd like to optomize my refine and taxes anywhere my wh could concievable drop me off. The other part; however, is just simple enjoyment. Unlike sleeper sites in our c6, I can simply kick back and enjoy blasting some rats alone. It takes the edge off my otherwise intense dscan spamming lifestyle.
Spineker 94	Posted - 2012.01.06 05:15:00 - [125] - Quote My goal is to kill every NPC before downtime! That is the goal I set! Suck it up if you don't like it but I try hard everyday
Nuela Beacon Light Corporation Beacon Light Alliance 0	Posted - 2012.02.06 19:40:00 - [126] - Quote I go with theraputic...it's relaxing. I've asked the same question...I mission and mission stacking isk upon isk...accumulate ships...stack up more isk etc. At first, I did it to get an isk revenue stream so that my alt can do other, more fun stuff. However, I've noticed I don't play that alt very often. I play one other MMORPG that is pure PvP based and very exciting/competitive. When I wish PvP I go there. I guess I find Eve PvP lacking because of the saying 'there are no fair fights'. While I understand this is PvP and has its place...I WANT fair fights...and so I get my PvP fix elsewhere. When I come on here, it's usually after a hectic day at work and I want to veg. I KNOW it is pointless to accumulate isk and possessions...but I still do it. I guess I feel I will put it to use someday. I do send some off as voluntary donations to the corp and that helps them. However, I use missioning to Veg.

You might wish to consider that this mentality is part of what makes EVE such an interesting socio-psychological experiment. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

Oxylan 1 Caldaryjski Pluton Uderzeniowy 2	Posted - 2012.02.06 23:02:00 - [128] - Quote Hi If you focus on long therm missioning only for isk you do it wrong, you need to love missions it self :D, my goal is 10.00 to Caldari State so far i have 9.96, sadly high standig dont play big role in EvE, in fact you can get only some faction ships while you recive 9.20, 9.60, 9,90 to faction rase, and this is sad part of EvE game mechanic, while we talk about relation betwen factions and player, i wish we got more things depending on standings, not only to reduce "tax" while reporcesing modules - ore in station... Sorry for my English.
Allyia Base Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 1	Posted - 2012.02.06 23:04:00 - [129] - Quote Goal? I don't have one of those and if I ever do, it doesn't stick long. Why do I mission a lot? Easy: because it can be done with one account efficiently. I do a lot of other things for the same reason.
Vicky Somers Rusty Anchor 5	Posted - 2012.02.07 00:27:00 - [130] - Quote I run missions when I scan through 15 systems and find 500 C1 wormholes and nothing else. FUUUUUUUUU I run missions because: -High sec jump clones. -LP rewards. -Free isk. -High sec POS. -Easy income to supply suicide alt with goodies.

Just as i return back to my agent with a grin ear to ear telling him how I cleared out that pirate complex, he informs me that there is a blockade somewhere near by. I know your feel.
Mina Sebiestar Mactabilis Simplex Cursus 48	Posted - 2012.02.08 07:22:00 - [132] - Quote I did grind them to gain standings for minmatar various factions that was before mission made simple thing before that was to gain isk as young noob or to fleet with some peeps and just blast and chat about w/e. Now i barely play game and tent to suffer for 2-3 days in incursions to prolong my chars license.
Fredfredbug4 Kings of Kill EVE Animal Control 38	Posted - 2012.02.08 21:34:00 - [133] - Quote Spend 5 days a week missioning to make lots of money. At the end of the fifth day I spend about 50% of my cash (usually around 200 to 400 mil depending on how good the week was) Then I buy some nice PVP stuff and head into null. Honestly running missions is the best way to make money for PVP. Because the skills you train for the combat related missions can also apply to PVP making you an overall better pilot. What's even better is when you get the chance to run some missions in a ship that you will use when you head off to make other people cry. That way you will get used to how the ship handles and what it's capable of. Sure you will generally be using different modules when you head out to low and/or null but the basic feel of the ship is still there.
MatrixSkye Mk2 Republic University Minmatar Republic 135	Posted - 2012.02.10 02:06:00 - [134] - Quote I Accidentally YourShip wrote: I found purpose in suicide ganking other people while I still played for a while, to harvest tears. I think a better question is how is it that people like you manage to derive pleasure from purposely making others miserable (ie collect tears)? Have you ever sought professional help? <== Serious question, as sadism isn't exactly "normal" behaviour.

Ouch! I find this kinda sad. Why play at all if this is all you get from eve? Spineker wrote: My goal is to kill every NPC before downtime! That is the goal I set!

Sleepers, with their advanced AI, are at least civilised enough to stay stopped for a time. I clear a system of sleepers and it stays cleared ... for a little while at least :-) We can build and sell pretty much every ship. Check my bio for details. Our pirate epic arc completion packages really are very good: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=12973&find=unread

Ouch! I find this kinda sad. Why play at all if this is all you get from eve? Good point i guess im just burn out i need brake from eve for quite some time now but then again i just love to buzz around in space in my free time and EvE is just most complex and visual best looking space buzzer around. I did try some other space mmo's in last few days/weeks in intention to shut down Eve accounts i let go one account already that is but what i found is: unreal space,childish approach to anything,"lvl" 30 in 3+days,buy anything with RL money crap. Anything out there fall flat on its face after first few lazor shots set in :/ So no idea rly how to answer your question,i need 1-3 days or 10-15hours a month in this game hardly worth 15$ to me and spending that few hours grinding incursions is not rly what i would do/want if game is FTP or something.
Sydaphex Death Metal Unicorns from Outer Space III 1	Posted - 2012.02.10 10:26:00 - [137] - Quote Why Mission Running? For the Glory of Empress Jamyl and to safe the Minmatar from themselves of course. It is your responsibility capsuleer. That is why you are immortal. Have Fun and a nice weekend to all of you! Edit: Did I mention that it is Gods Will?
Ireland VonVicious Gurista Saints Assassin Confederacy 33	Posted - 2012.02.11 05:28:00 - [138] - Quote Why I mission: Sometimes I have done all I'm going to do on the market screen. I can Day trade while I mission. The missions help spiral my standings up. High standings improve my profit margins. I test everything in the game that I can and missions help make that posible. Improved pvp: To be good at pvp you must understand every little aspect of every ship. The isk from the missions help pay for my testing of different ships. LP is nice when I just want to pick up an implant for a jump clone without dealing with market. Easy thing to do while I hang with a corp mate.
Abyss Azizora Yuengling Technologies 1	Posted - 2012.02.11 05:44:00 - [139] - Quote Personally I have an obsession with trying to get 10.00 standings with every single Amarr Corp/Agent/Sub faction. Is it really all that beneficial? Not particularly, but I guess that's the completionist in me. It also provides the obvious income and entertainment while my alts run the market orders. Once I have everyone at 10.00 standings? Move onto something else, but by then I'll likely be so rich that missions will no longer have a purpose.
Fronkfurter McSheebleton Center for Advanced Studies Gallente Federation 71	Posted - 2012.02.11 14:14:00 - [140] - Quote I think Squidgey put it nicely, for a lot of people. Missions allow you to slowly scale up your isk-making by slowly upgrading your mission ship. At some point you'll be making enough isk to reliably pay for things that aren't mods for your mission ship. I remember when I first started running L4's, I was happy to make 20 mil in a day's time....that isn't going to fuel any kind of pvp habit unless you enjoy being blown up in T1 frigates and cruisers. Now that pve is a bit more lucrative, it's not hard to take something bigger out to play.

Drew Solaert University of Caille Gallente Federation 50	Posted - 2012.02.11 15:16:00 - [141] - Quote Two reasons for me, find it relaxing to start with and secondly to fund my account. RL Money is tight right now (everything decided to break down at the same time in my house :p) so I've had to switch over to plexing for the next couple of months.
orangeFool Syrkos Technologies Joint Venture Conglomerate 24	Posted - 2012.02.12 12:11:00 - [142] - Quote I mission 1. to get pirate standings to -10 2. to get certain NPC corps to +10 3. to have fun flying space ships in space Captains Qupboard: disabled \| Awaiting Disable NeX checkbox
Mnengli Noiliffe Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 25	Posted - 2012.02.12 15:09:00 - [143] - Quote I grinded for a few days to get low grade virtue set for cheap.. man, was that boring! i hope i will never have to do that again.
Sinooko The Night Wardens Viro Mors Non Est 15	Posted - 2012.02.13 22:03:00 - [144] - Quote I Accidentally YourShip wrote: Wordle wrote: But as far as those fabled crazy folks out there who mission all day, every day, I do know of one and he missions in the system I inhabit. He's pretty weird and doesn't PvP. All he does is missions. All he trains for is more missioning ships. I don't know what his deal is, OP. He has been playing EvE since 2006. While you do seem like a troll, your question is valid, but I don't know if the people you're referring to read these forums. Those are the people I'm looking for, I assume it would be fair after this long that people like that do not frequent / visit the forums at all. Oh well. Weird people who play an MMO as if it were single player or simply a chat room service? I will never understand this notion...
Ticket Stub 0	Posted - 2012.02.13 22:36:00 - [145] - Quote To pay the bills of my nullsec main. Yes I could rat or run anoms or w/e else, but like most smaller null corps the space we have isn't very good and we have to move around a good bit. Being able to funnel in a steady stream of cash without worrying over when the next chance I'll have to run things into empire or try to hock something at a good npc station is a crutch I would'nt want to live without. I'm sure it is diffirent for the long-standing established alliances out there, but for the peasantry highsec alts (incursion farming not withstanding) are a fact of life. Most ironic is that half of these people, folks in my own corp included, will smack highsec all day on the forums. They don't really hate mission runners or anyone else I think, they just hate the fact they feel obligated to do it themselves. I think they hope if highsec income is sufficiently nerfed they can actually live off nullsec as more people moving there would improve some of the sporradic local npc economies. Unfortunately, and those of us who have lived out there the longest can tell you, that simply would not happen regardless of what ccp did to highsec. The logistics of keeping one of our home stations stocked is halaioursly difficult. When PL or some other big-dog isn't in down camping and ensuring our carriers can't arrive with resupply we still have to deal with our neighboring small corps who try to do the same thing on a smaller scale. Growing the economy in an area where massive bubble blobs are a fact of life would simply not happen on the scale required to get rid of highsec alts. So try as we might, I think most of us are related by one degree or another to the highsec bears. If we don't have one, we depend on one to keep us flying the ships we love to get blown up. I have a bit of disdain for incursions generating so much raw isk and thus inflation, but mission runners are ok by me. I may grief some of them on occasion, but I dare not consider their pastime some kind of irrelavence. Anyone who thinks the "single-player," mission runners dumping impossibly large numbers of faction modules on the market (and thusly sinking tons of isk into the LP store and our of the EVE economy) have no effect on the game are woefully stupid.
BIGTEX123 Wormhole Exploration Crew R.E.P.O. 3	Posted - 2012.02.14 03:21:00 - [146] - Quote I've always been a bit scared of actual PvP sort of like a phobia, so I stuck to high sec and grinded missions to see something blow up and not face any real big danger. Lately though I have gotten into low sec PvP and I see how fun it really is and it really isn't that dangerous so I think my major mission grinding days are over. But I still need to get money some how for my weekend nights out on the prowl Also I like to talk in the chat channels a lot so running missions makes it easy to talk to people, make money, and not really have to pay attention to the overview for a pirate.
