Is it the tranquillity of the mining, the study of the mysteries that intermingle amongst the star? Is your war against the skynet, ratting and missioning? Is it the tears or the sassing in return? or is it the eternal Pew pews? is it he social aspects the friends you have made all over the world?

ShahFluffers Ice Fire Warriors Snuffed Out 6847	Posted - 2014.12.20 23:10:36 - [10] - Quote I play because I am a masochist. And a little bit of a sadist. Talking with people on fleet comms without pants is awesome. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. "How did you veterans start?"

Is it the tranquillity of the mining, I never thought of it like that, but I guess some may play for that. I find mining to be tranquillising... deadly boring unless there are some gankers around. The moments when I'm not sure I'll get the ship out of danger... those make EVE worth playing.

Jenshae Chiroptera The Volition Cult 623	Posted - 2014.12.21 03:59:58 - [20] - Quote It is the only MMO that in PVP gets me moderately interested. I like that we can build up a group and control area. I want to crush those that pick easy kills but they are a never ending mass that reduces my hope for humanity. Given freedom this is what they find fun? The ship building is a lot easier than Anarchy Online equipment but at least more challenging than checking level and colour of the item. The industry actually matters, the market is controlled by players, rather than a novelty that weirdos partake in. A pity that I try and do everything, I am a generalist in and out of game. If my enemies knew how little SP I have in combat they would biomass from shame when they die to me. CSM Ten movement for change. EVE - the only MMO that not so subtly serves up victims.

Is it the tears or the sassing in return? or is it the eternal Pew pews? is it he social aspects the friends you have made all over the world? It's the freedom (unlike most games which guide you down a path). It's the fact that EVE treats you like an adult, other games coddle and protect you like a child It's because EVE rewards the smart and creative and ambitious person and punishes the lazy entitled whiner (if only the real world did this I'd have no complaints) It's the depth. I'll be at work and a new concept for a fit (that usually doesn't work) hits me and I can't wait to get home to try it. And it's my friends.
Weylin Ormand Mining Bay inc SpaceMonkey's Alliance 143	Posted - 2014.12.21 04:55:05 - [23] - Quote As the OP said, I enjoy the tranquility of mining, broken up by the excitement of roams and full-out ops to cause tears among our enemies. It's made all the better because at the end of the day it's still just a game and both sides can (usually) find it in themselves to laugh it off and offer the other side the proverbial "gf". I enjoy being a part of something bigger than myself where I can still see very directly the impact of my small actions on the larger whole. This is why the corp->alliance->coalition framework of EVE and the heavy emphasis on player-driven emergent gameply has always appealed to me over other games' organization and workflow. I mine so you can have the fuel to run your POS. Have you thanked a miner today?
Serene Repose 1806	Posted - 2014.12.21 06:01:36 - [24] - Quote a.) I don't have the imagination to do anything productive. b.) See above. Treason never prospers. What is the reason? Why, if it prospers, none dare call it "treason."
Mr Epeen It's All About Me 7077	Posted - 2014.12.21 06:49:36 - [25] - Quote Vapor Ventrillian wrote: So Why do you play eve? For the forums, of course. Whether it's fighting, agreeing or just plain old trolling, the drama here is better than anything you'll find when logged into the spaceship part of the game. Mr Epeen There are 86,400 seconds in a day. You just saved one of them by typing 'u' instead of 'you'.-á Congratulations, dumbass!
Karl Hobb Imperial Margarine 2185	Posted - 2014.12.21 08:31:02 - [26] - Quote That sense of danger, no other PvP game comes close to that visceral feeling... Even doing PvE I get that feeling of competition. It's why I don't bother with high-sec anymore, even as a solo player, too boring. EVE spoiled any chance of me playing another MMO. A professional astro-bastard was not available so they sent me.

Badel Jramodarr New Eden Miners Millitia 87	Posted - 2014.12.21 09:38:30 - [28] - Quote Doc Fury wrote: To crush my enemies, to see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentations of their renters. You sir, won this thread before it's even begun o7 Firstly and most importantly: From day one I play eve because the feel of space is tangible. It feels like it's vast to me, and the graphics/views just add to my immersion Also, whatever I'm doing in Eve my mind is almost always in a roleplay mode. I might talk normally on comms so it's not overly evident to most. Nothing in eve is boring to me bar one thing: maximising isk profit margins yawn (if that's your thing, more power to you) I don't always have a signature; but when I do, it doesn't say anything at all
Caleb Seremshur The Atomic Fallout Kids 432	Posted - 2014.12.21 09:44:54 - [29] - Quote Not sure how serious the OP really intended his topic to be but I will try to answer it with as little verbatim as I can. I just don't know. I think for a while there I was being victimised by the investment fallacy. Playing the game because I had spent so long playing already and being scared of losing it. But that feeling passed. Today.. I logged on for the first time in a month and I haven't even undocked. I run no industry jobs, I'm in lowsec hostile space in a system with 2 people who historically have tried to kill me several times. Let's be honest, I feel like I've run out of things to feel enthusiastic about in the game. Training newbies was painful because of how bad the game translates between known ideas and educating those ideas to others. PVP? Omfg it's so bad in this game. Choosing a given weapon type (HML) can leave you being arbitrarily penalised. Like honestly how did it even get so bad and why is it being neglected? Balance remains terrible. PVE is awful. There's no content for a solo player. You will probably run out of things to do solo within 1 year. Shattered wormholes while an interesting premise and something I personally will invest time in later were created to debunk the power of huge groups. Like neutral/nomansland where fights don't happen in any kind of fortified system. And that's a whole other kettle of fish. I would expand on what I mean but.... you know why. It's just pointless. A kind of depression sets in when thinking about being the force of positive change and then knowing that trying is mostly a waste of time. Unless you work for CCP chances are nothing will be done. I guess I still like EVE at a conceptual level but continuous years of neglect to basic parts of the game have just worn me down. I don't even want to play. I log on and do nothing because it's the same thing for 5 years. It's just so depressing. I thought I had more to say but I guess I don't. Join channel Aussies in space to chat with AU/NZ players
