I have been getting tired and bored of EVE lately.
Didn't log in all of last week. Logged in yesterday and was ganked then last night our POS was robbed. Just makes me so weary. I tend to get bored and move on to something else as soon as the intellectual challenges and learning are mostly over. For example, I got to the top level of amateur ball room & Latin dancing before quitting that, while my art got to a point where people were hanging it on their walls but in that case I knew if I kept practising it, I would become technically sound but never exceptional as I didn't have that feel for it. Archery? Won a tournament, did culling, bored. I could bore you with the list of different things that I have done, probably easier to list the things that I haven't done. I have no interest in getting married, having children and such. I had a job that remunerated me well enough that I paid off a relative's farm for them and grew up in a family that was challenging on one side and wealthy on the other. Jobs too, get bored, dissatisfied, fired or quit. I have never felt a sense of accomplishment. I used to read about 250 books a year, some 40% of them were non-fiction. People bore me, they have the same pet topic, the same lives they live week after week (I do this too, since I opted out, so not saying I am better than them) and most of them just regurgitate the media.
So what is next? I don't see any games that call to me any more. Just version # of game Y. The mechanics are all the same, organising volunteers to do things in MMOs is a nuisance (I have run a large and successful group / "guild" before). I have done most things in EVE, made final products from PI items, I have positive standing with a NPC null sec faction, I have made things, mined, PVPed, et cetera.
Anyone doing anything interesting that they can recommend? CSM do you think? No matter the changes, high sec people chose the safests. Lots of stick and they will leave. Half the problem is the players in null sec; we do not want to be there with you. |

Well, I like sex with women, but since that seems to be the only thing you can not achieve in life its no use to you. I guesss youll have to carry on being a perfect virginal nerd. Do you have a neckbeard? |

well at least you are doing stuff - I used to get spannered to cope with being bored like that.
My advice - start a company. Never a dull moment, rarely doing the same thing from week to week and no matter how good you are at anything it will challenge you.

Yes, now that you have stroked your ego and proven that you are superior to mere mortals around you by winning a dance contest or shooting sticks at a cork target, stop setting your goals artificially low and try to do something that's really challenging, like getting a PhD or I dunno, building a multi billion dollar corporation or winning a Nobel prize or something. I mean because apparently you are bored of life because everything is too easy. Yet I still see a lot of unfinished goals. |

Then I liberated all the struggling countries of the world, made love to all there women in every conceivable way and decided it was totally overrated!

Is this the super-talents self-revealing thread?
My solution: I learned the harp and bought a wall-seized mirror so I could like... you know... enjoy the narcissism to the fullest.
Ah, no, I didn't, but then I never got bored pursuing my talents. OK, I admit my job bores me sometimes. 
But, yes. It is very hard for superior types like us to find satisfaction in a game as simple as EVE. That's why I drag my poor folks into stuff like Arek'Jalaan or creating EVE Bollywood movies. |

Find a guru 
Just kidding, guru's are traps.
I get the impression that you are amusing yourself with this thread right now and this might be a big giant troll but what the hey.. might as well reply anyways.
Life is empty and meaningless and everything outside is just illusion and will not satisfy you (as you have noticed) until you give it some real meaning. Having a deeper context of life is important as everything you do will take place inside that context. If you do (you create that context , no one else) your perception/experience of life will change and every action will be more fulfilling . There are many spiritual paths out there that go into that. You could check that out. You have nothing better to do anyways, lol.
I have some experience with this. It makes a big difference, believe me. My 2 cents. |

BJJ / Muaythai is the end game of Martial Arts, but I guess you don't need the end game if you are just using it to beat up unarmed elderly civilians and children across the border....
Also why edit out your HATE of SEX from the OP?
Is your Narcissism so strong that you had to remove that comment from the opening because it was tarnishing the image you were trying to portray?
I thought some one on your intellectual plane, would be above the thoughts and opinions of others and stick with there values and statements....

Looking at battleclinic, I still see large challenges for you to overcome in PvP. You've barely scratched the surface of what 75% of this game is all about.

I have worked with deaf children in one place. It was hilarious the one time to see a government appointed teacher yelling them at louder and louder, while they are talking to each other in sign language saying from what gather that they didn't understand what this person was doing, they are confused and they think the teacher is crazy. I also helped at a school for the physically and mentally handicapped from poor backgrounds, they had to be all three to be admitted there.
I found that I didn't care. I also realised that we believe in evolution, yet we make such efforts to keep the dim and the feeble alive and breeding. 
I do take RSPCA dogs for a walk and found that my time at the Oceanarium was better than dealing with the handicapped, even if most of the time was spent cleaning out the penguin cages. At least with animals, they [hmm.. not sure how to put it] don't have the same control of the situation / parents aren't in some way responsible / there are less of them / they aren't as "sentient"

Oh, well. Now that you ask. There is something I've been doing for what you'd call a considerable amount of time, but to me has been but a blink of an eye. But, I'm afraid your preconceptions, indoctrinations, prejudices, over simplifications, and just plain close-mindedness wouldn't allow you to catch a glimpse. So, I can't tell you what it is. You'll just have to either guess, or figure it out for yourself. I'll tell you this much - it's not boring.

My advice - start a company. Never a dull moment, rarely doing the same thing from week to week and no matter how good you are at anything it will challenge you.
(I've got three small children and a gf too - and I have to say they bring a lot of balance and light)
Luh, may I ask what area your business is in?

It's relatively easy to master and even succeed, and success won't bore you for a long while. So... no affordable NEx store... no full-fledged Incarna... no new casual content... no new solo content... no new PvE content...-á

OP, I think you either have undiagnosed depression (seek psychiatric help, medication) or you are just too risk-averse to take one of your pursuits all the way. "Getting bored" with something you're succeeding at may be your mind's defense mechanism against aiming for the top spot, where people will look at and judge you.
Win ALL the archery tournaments, ballroom dances. Build your own bows, invent new dances. Forget jobs, start your own business. Write your own books. Family? Adopt a poor kid from Africa or SE Asia. People are boring? Raise your child to be interesting, and a game-changer. EVE, aim to dominate it through your own corp or alliance. Or quit, video games may somehow be reinforcing an unhealthy mindset. Try "Go". |

Not depression, more the thing is ahedonism, which they don't know if it is chemical, some psychological block or physical, which ever it is there aren't enough cases to justify the research and they don't have a treatment for it.

I've been playing Eve for years, largely because it's one of the few games out there that provides a challenge and doesn't follow the formula, "follow prearranged path, execute action, continue along path(s), gain sense of achievement, buy new game." From time to time I burn out on Eve after having tried most of the possibilities. I go away for a bit, come back, resub, repeat. The only other games that I really enjoy and come back to consistently are the complex grand strategy games like Victoria 1 and 2, Hearts of Iron, etc. You could try those.
Boredom is one of the modern world's most powerful motivators I've recently learned. We bend over backwards to avoid it, even if dealing with it would be far simpler. It's the reason for much of the world's ignorance, apathy, general nihilism, and perhaps even malnutrition. When we are not stimulated or entertained we either frantically search for something to return to that state, or we feel that we lose some kind of meaning or enjoyment in life, when the reality is that meaning and joy are created or found by us and what we choose to place them in or into them.
There will always be books, and I've found there are too many to read in a single lifetime, even if just read once - and the best ones deserve to be read more than a single time, or perhaps in their native tongue, which takes years of preparation and brings an entirely new reading.
Explore the dying world of music which few people really actually delve into these days. Most people don't realize that art music is still alive, let alone the intricacies involved in it, and tend to shirk it for arbitrary reasons: ignorance, boredom, difficulty, lack of perceptual grounding, etc.
Some people, when they find that there's something missing in the world, create something to fill in the gaps. Gaps they fill, not only in the world or in others, but in themselves that they feel must absolutely, unequivocally be dealt with. It's from this that meaning and purpose are derived. And it's a difficult path that takes dealing with adversity, boredom, and even death, but those bring more meaning still. It's all about choices and the perception of choices.
I was once told that the two most important questions ever asked were Plato's "What is a human being?" and Kierkegaard's "Why should I get out of bed in the morning?" I've realized over the years, that those questions are one in the same, with the same ambiguous, protean, amoebic answer that you have to nail down to the floorboards daily with spikes of sweat and sinew and brain matter just to even get a glimpse of it. You may search and search for it and never find it, but one day, unexpectedly, there it is again, come out of hiding to slap you in the face to remind you that you're a fool and that it only matters when you choose to be open to seeing it. |

I believe you are walking into his trap there m8. Any further direct argument from you further cements his point in the eyes of rest of us.
Interesting topic you have here. I would like to echo the point already made by others here: it isn't about the magnitude of your achievements or how glorious it is in respect to the social norm. Personal happiness, I think, is a state of mind. Maybe you have to figure out what that is.... For some people it is simple like finishing painting a tree house..other getting a degree....maybe some find fulfillment in getting recognition/respect from other people (which in my opinion is the case here, but I could be wrong)
My point is that only you can figure out what makes you fulfilled. Wish you the best. |

Jenshae Chiroptera wrote:I have been getting tired and bored of EVE lately.
Didn't log in all of last week. Logged in yesterday and was ganked then last night our POS was robbed. Just makes me so weary. I tend to get bored and move on to something else as soon as the intellectual challenges and learning are mostly over. For example, I got to the top level of amateur ball room & Latin dancing before quitting that, while my art got to a point where people were hanging it on their walls but in that case I knew if I kept practising it, I would become technically sound but never exceptional as I didn't have that feel for it. Archery? Won a tournament, did culling, bored. I could bore you with the list of different things that I have done, probably easier to list the things that I haven't done. I have no interest in getting married, having children and such. I had a job that remunerated me well enough that I paid off a relative's farm for them and grew up in a family that was challenging on one side and wealthy on the other. Jobs too, get bored, dissatisfied, fired or quit. I have never felt a sense of accomplishment. I used to read about 250 books a year, some 40% of them were non-fiction. People bore me, they have the same pet topic, the same lives they live week after week (I do this too, since I opted out, so not saying I am better than them) and most of them just regurgitate the media.
So what is next? I don't see any games that call to me any more. Just version # of game Y. The mechanics are all the same, organising volunteers to do things in MMOs is a nuisance (I have run a large and successful group / "guild" before). I have done most things in EVE, made final products from PI items, I have positive standing with a NPC null sec faction, I have made things, mined, PVPed, et cetera.
Anyone doing anything interesting that they can recommend?

Seems you are looking for something to do in life in general, not just Eve.
Within Eve, I'd suggest helping out newbies. The tutorials still aren't the greatest, and they still have tons to learn when they are truly new.
Write your experiences into your own book or "Isk" type information dump. Focus it on the subjects you know the most about, and detail why you feel your opinions formed and then provide facts to back them up. Visit every system in Eve (I hear it takes two months). Create a program that is a hybrid between Evemon and EFT that allows users to put together a ship fitting and then shows them what skills they need to train to fly that exact fit (and if it is possible at all in the first place). I realize that EFT does this, but having a program that does that and then creates the skill queue's etc like EveMon could benefit a lot of people. Heck, make it web-based.
Outside of Eve: Learn to work with metal and stone. Make small ornate display pieces that use copper, brass, and silver. Incorporate semi-precious gemstones into the piece (brass tree, jade leaves. LOTS of them). This of course is a heavy startup fee. If you want cheap-er, get a Dremel or similar tool, some hand size pieces of Jasper (not JaspeT, JaspeR) or Agate, a five dollar box of diamond carving tips, a tub of water, and learn to carve and polish stone.
Beyond that and the other suggestions that people might make, examine your reaction to each suggestion. If you find you are making excuses for every single one as to why you can't, then you need to look a bit further into your attitude/state-of-mind. It doesn't matter what people suggest, if you believe you can't do anything, you're going to find you are right. |

training so many styles usually amounts to nothing. i would recommend dedicating to a philosophy, for a long time. what you describe is a sign of being in too many places without a purpose. it sounds to me like youre not short of resources, opportunities and community involvement. you may need to look deeper inside to see what you really want. one way of doing this is to dedicate to something (that you may not be a huge fan of initially), and work hard to get better at it. doesnt have to be a martial art...maybe just an art.

in theory. but when a 250 pound brute is rushing you, our pounding on you, or his buddies are about to stab you from behind, 95% of what you know from the other styles will go out the window due to anxiety. the key to retaining knowledge in your muscle memory is actually through specific breathing patters and massive repetitions. which means not so much variation. in addition, all those styles teach different philosophies to engaging with your opponent, which is ultimately confusing to the simple brain required for physical survival (i.e. not the frontal cortex).

I am fortunate in that regard. When I am in a fight, I suddenly relax and just watch myself do things, which is where the scary lack of control stems from and in most cases, most thugs haven't a clue about fighting. You can usually dislocate an elbow, shoulder or break something and such before any of their buddies can react.

It is mainly used as an exercise routine for the elderly each morning around 6 am in the parks, especially µÑ赦Åsñ¬µPüµï¦ (Yang style). I mean sñ¬µPüµï¦ doesn't even have contact sparring, except for µÄ¿µëï.. even that's for reaction honing for old people mostly :p
My grandfather taught me Thai-Chi when I was little, I am by no means an expert... But I know enough to realize not to depend on it when avoiding a swinging bat... no time to "absorb" and "deflect"...I just move and get the f**** out of the way. If we are just judging on its theory of sÉÄsÅæsê¦S¦¦ "delayed reaction move to counter opponent's offensive moves", it has some merit but in that regard I think brazilian jujitsu or sambo has more practicality.
Maybe you can modify Thai-Chi to be more effective?

I haven't faced a bat, just a broken bottle, a gun, a machete and two pocket knives. The guy with the gun was high, so it was easy enough to be out of the way and closing the gap when he pulled the trigger. The machete was useless, I think he was banking on my quivering in fear and letting him mug me. I just kept back away from his wild swings until I saw a chance to get in too close for him to use it. I have scars on my hands from one of the knives and the bottle.
Basically, when someone attacks you, their force is either going in one direction and is easily deflected or they are moving too slowly and are easily avoided. CSM do you think? No matter the changes, high sec people chose the safests. Lots of stick and they will leave. Half the problem is the players in null sec; we do not want to be there with you. |

I don't know of a way to say this without it sounding like an insult (not my intent) but it sounds like you have accomplished plenty of "things" that have no value in and of themselves, so maybe you could work on being a more well-rounded human being?
Being able to win archery tournaments and learn martial arts is trivial compared to other, meaningful stuff in life - such as the relationshipships you forge.
Again, I don't mean this to sound like an insult, but you somewhat arrogantly say, "Well, I can do all of THIS (pointless, meaningless) stuff, but people? They suck and they bore me."
Go adopt a child and raise them as a single-parent. Take it from someone that's done it, it's way more rewarding than all the "I can's" that you're throwing out here... |

You can unsub from life I suppose.
Seeing as how you are one of the few people that seems to rise to the top of every single thing they try in life.
You seem to never loose at anything and you are perfect in every way so I can see how your life is boring.
Maybe you can get a God complex and preach to the unwashed masses and then remove the actual God from the heavens. But, then I suppose you would get bored with that, you know, creating universes, creating life, saving life forms from rogue stars, etc etc...

I am considering that. However, I could provide for them on an intellectual level, yet I don't think I am warm or caring enough to provide for them emotionally. The only weigh off is that they might get more attention than at an orphanage.
As for relationships. I have a few friendships that go back almost ( I am getting old) twenty years. Had only a friend in each of the last two cities and none in this one that I have lived in. Oddly enough, I had more friends when I was shy and introverted, well the more cynical of you will say that is obvious.  Doesn't feel worth the effort to make friends any more. CSM do you think?

Anyone doing anything interesting that they can recommend?
No one cares about your real life ffs. If you've done most things in eve, have no interest in trying the things you haven't done, and are bored with the game, isn't it obvious what you should do??? Quit playing the game but keep your account active so ccp gets your money. Also, quit posting.

Right. First off, as a vet of six years in the USMC, there is no such thing as an "EX-Marine". Its former Marine.
Secondly, I can prove my statement of being a former Marine. Can you prove any of your statements of being the best of the best of the best?
Lastly, I'm a disabled vet at that. What the hell are you?

Ah, so that old song and dance? Well let me finally clue you guys in.
Original post went like this:
- Statement describing the reason for the thread. - Some scenarios about the sort of thing in the game that makes me weary. - Description of personality with some examples, giving a better background for more full feedback. - Outline of the problem, not being able to find a game and failing that not knowing what to move on to next if I quit gaming entirely. - Letting you know the things that I have done to eliminate suggesting them. Thus someone might think of something different that I hadn't noticed. - The question asking for recommendations.
That you guys focused on just one aspect of the post and went galloping off on it, getting all bent out of shape, sure speaks volumes about you.

If you wanna dance with me, about me, and my reality, you just let me know when and where, I'll be there.  Ah, so that old song and dance? Well let me finally clue you guys in. Original post went like this: - Statement describing the reason for the thread. - Some scenarios about the sort of thing in the game that makes me weary. - Description of personality with some examples, giving a better background for more full feedback. - Outline of the problem, not being able to find a game and failing that not knowing what to move on to next if I quit gaming entirely. - Letting you know the things that I have done to eliminate suggesting them. Thus someone might think of something different that I hadn't noticed. - The question asking for recommendations. That you guys focused on just one aspect of the post and went galloping off on it, getting all bent out of shape, sure speaks volumes about you.  I have been getting tired and bored of EVE lately. Didn't log in all of last week. Logged in yesterday and was ganked then last night our POS was robbed. Just makes me so weary. I tend to get bored and move on to something else as soon as the intellectual challenges and learning are mostly over. For example, I got to the top level of amateur ball room & Latin dancing before quitting that, while my art got to a point where people were hanging it on their walls but in that case I knew if I kept practising it, I would become technically sound but never exceptional as I didn't have that feel for it. Archery? Won a tournament, did culling, bored. I could bore you with the list of different things that I have done, probably easier to list the things that I haven't done. I have no interest in getting married, having children and such. I had a job that remunerated me well enough that I paid off a relative's farm for them and grew up in a family that was challenging on one side and wealthy on the other. Jobs too, get bored, dissatisfied, fired or quit. I have never felt a sense of accomplishment. I used to read about 250 books a year, some 40% of them were non-fiction. People bore me, they have the same pet topic, the same lives they live week after week (I do this too, since I opted out, so not saying I am better than them) and most of them just regurgitate the media. So what is next? I don't see any games that call to me any more. Just version # of game Y. The mechanics are all the same, organising volunteers to do things in MMOs is a nuisance (I have run a large and successful group / "guild" before). I have done most things in EVE, made final products from PI items, I have positive standing with a NPC null sec faction, I have made things, mined, PVPed, et cetera. Anyone doing anything interesting that they can recommend?
Perhaps you can try cross dressing as you play. Or maybe play nude?
Powerful hallucinogenic drugs I am told also help. Heck to all three but don't OD. I don't want to read any headlines like "dead naked nerd found at keyboard logged into EvE Online and wearing only a tiara".

Reading your posts in this thread it sounds to me that you're suffering from depression.

Don't believe in their war. Corporations are running it by extension of funding election campaigns and what not, via the government.

You think the Marines in Afghanistan are fighting because they want to? How misguided you truelly are.
And you do realize that everyone on this public forum is laughing at you. Mr. Bored With Life who can dodge bullets because he can see your finger moving.

It's called ennui.
Get a dog. Teach it to fetch.
Throw a ball for your dog to go fetch.
Pet dog for fetching.
Pay attention to how happy this makes the dog.
If this doesn't make you happy, then you aren't doing it right. Try again tomorrow.
The funny feeling you get when making the dog happy makes you happy is called "Love." It cures ennui.
The funny feeling you get when you consider how the dog would feel if you got bored with him and took him to the pound is called "Obligation." It keeps ennui from coming back.
Later you'll learn how to use these tools to interact more meaningfully with other humans, but you're not ready for that yet.
You're welcome. |
