I have grind mining, exploration, missions (combat, distribution and mining) belt ratting and PI, been in a merc corp and been gate and station camping for hours. Same grinding over and over agin without any progress.
Now I just logg in and sitt at the station and do some PI then look in the corp chat. But after that I have no idea what to do so I just the logg out.
Thinking of starting a new char just to have any progress.... A char old like me have most skill training at a +35 days perspective... or just put account on hold agin ..
Can any one help me with an idea what to do in EvE thats fun?
Thankful for any ideas

Sounds like you spend too much time in highsec. Try out new areas of EVE. A change in environment once in a while is healthy for ya.
Or take your corp and move into a wormhole to spice things up, i dunno. The PI is better in there, the mining is better in there (i take it, from your corp name that you're into that sorta things).
And lastly, not to sound condescending, but if you're the kinda person unable to create your own content and need to be spoon fed by others, perhaps join a bigger nullsec alliance and go on all the ops you get pinged for. |

There's always one kid standing at the edge of the sandbox, picking his nose and staring blankly at all the other kids inside it having fun. Somehow he just can't figure out what's going on. |

I can agree with you. And maybe thats a good idea. And maybe I find new Eve friends to hang with.. all of my old Eve friends left.
I will probably try that one. Thx for a good idea. / Sanjun |

Hello,
Sandbox games leave open to you to decide your progression and this lack of structure, although freeing, can lead to a "what next?' state of mind. I find that it is good to set goals. Short, med, and long term goals to achieve are what help me focus.
No one can tell you what those goals should be as it is up to your personal tastes and interest, but I will toss out a few I have either had myself or know of from others:
Industry & RnD:
Produce capital ships.
Produce T2.
Produce T3
Trade:
Earn "x" billion.
Control a market.
NPC 0.0 trade.
PVE
Wormhole life.
Incursions.
Ninja plexing.
COSMOS.
PVP
Faction war.
Join a 0.0 Alliance.
Pirate
Extra
Awox
Long term corporate Infiltration and theft.
If none of those fits your bill, perhaps create and manage your own corporation and pass on all that exp you have or even apply to teach at Eve-Uni. Being around those guys keeps the game new. HTH
PEACE!
Be careful what you think, for your thoughts become your words.
Be careful what you say, for your words become your actions.
Be careful what you do, for your actions become your character.
And character is everything. - author unknown |

Mindless killing/farming is mindless. Try joining a null alliance that is trying to win.

Null is more carebear than high in many places. WHs and losec are probably what was meant.
Though I would point out that the OP said he has been in a merc corp so it's not like he has avoided PvP. |

Many good suggestions here but i would like to stress the undercurrent to them all.
eve is fun with fun people.
find a decent corp that runs fun stuff together.
a low /null small gang corp of close friends that pvp and pve together and entertain each other is much better than the huge mega corps where you become a faceless f1 pusher (or drone assigner).
it i more fun taking small amounts of stuff from the bigger guys then taking tons of stuff from people that are much smaller/weaker than you. just as it is more fun having 4-5 people scanning and then running plexes together while mocking each other about stupid losses and linking pron/ discussing life etc etc.
eve is about communities and joining a few decent ones is the way to go.
i had no idea about this when i used to be in high sec corps solo exploring. can't believe i even found that fun now.
here is a list of all the fiat currencies that didn't end up at zero value.....and here is a list of the places where a currency pegged to a real commodity has successfully co-existed with compound interest....-á Here is a physics professor explaining why sustainable growth isn't a thing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-QA2rkpBSY |

If you have a PI alt, then you have some small income that is not too strenuous.
I suggest that you get yourself a nice solo ship (maybe something with some probes), then start roaming around in other people's territory.
I frequently roam around and it's lots of fun. Then when I lose all my ships or all my money, I grind up for a little while (and by that I mean I run scams, ninja salvage and corp thefts and such in between L4s) and start over.

Nah, they got bots for all that. Just bot mine, sell, moongoo, sell, T2 BPO, sell, bot magic sov spawns to print more free ISK, then PLEX it up, train your main until you can fly a supercap and then join the glorious blob horde in the name of Whatever Alliance once or twice a year.
Excitement!
No, really. You'll only be at the keyboard maybe two hours a month to check up on all your passive & risk-free ISK generators, which leaves you plenty of time to go play other games instead.
I'm told that this is the apex of EvE gameplay. Personally, I think it's just the thinly veiled please of people who got sucked into a void of nullgrind boredom & loneliness who desperately need a hug or something, but, having lost all ability to operate in a normal human context anymore (due to isolation) they simply can no longer communicate by any means except for e-peen waving and cyno dropping blobs on anyone who comes near them.
Kind of like Edward Scissor Hands high on bath salts, basically.

I am sure that you understand the fact the game of Eve is based on everyone paying for their stuff, whatever that may be.
The vast majority of the player base has to indeed grind for it.
Non-grind options to finance your play are:
Buy ISK by converting plexes.
Work your way into a leadership position in a null sec cartel and have the ISK drown you.
Be very effective at PvP and prey on other players.
But that is about it.
So you have to decide, are you comfortable doing that grind?
It does not matter where you do it, be it high sec, low sec, blob-sec, or wormholes.
It is only a matter of net return per hour. The actions in each security zone of space are pretty much identical when you get down to it.
So if you are not comfortable with the grind, and can't stomach the 3 non-grind options, then I don't think Eve is for you.

He may be right. Sounds like the High Sec blues. Grab a POS head to null and set it up. Throw guns on it and go exploring. Not being a jerk but there's a lot to this game and grinding is just a nick in the surface. |
