Okay i dont wanna get in trouble and have this thread abused and turned into offtopic stuff. Please answer reasonabley.
So i havent seen this debate happen on the forums. I tried googling and using the eve search but cant find this thread/topic.
So..
What makes people want to pve? Is it the "victory against bad guys" appeal? Is it the "i want to 'finish' the game/beat the game" idea? Is it the content? Like that its fun? Is it the commradie of taking down the "boss"? Is it the "puzzles" like finding right spec, trying out correct techniques?
Any other psychological reasons you can think of?
Please keep this a scientific study that is about pve in eve. |

Something, something, some people like to build sand castles, some like to kick them down, something, something.
In seriousness though, I think this is way too broad to easily explain.
I could explain it for me, but it wouldn't be relevant as a general concept, only as my specific reason.

There is a chess game and mathematical analysis involved in PVE. Especially solo. Don't let PVP bigger-upper 'leet noobs tell you any different.

It actually boils down to relaxing after work for me. The content, and the fitting of ships, squeezing out optimal performance, all that jazz.
I save my pvp for my days off, when I can lean forward to my screen, and really get into it.
Pve is just relaxing. It has a sink into chair sigh feeling. It lets you calmly unwind after a twelve hour day of dealing customers that make you want to give up life while you can. |

That could be the most important reason, certainly for me. Standings, ISK, RP, LP. Though, in a way, I also count exploration as PvE, even out of high. |

CAM, I agree with Khergit Deserters and yes using eve-survival to a certain degree does make it easy, but there are many other pieces to the puzzle, especially if you are trying to blitz the fastest or clear entire rooms the fastest. There is also a lot more PVE than mission running.
The other reason to do it, besides the puzzle aspect and the obvious reason to make isk, if you are going to be doing PVP in any of these areas, it is best to have a full understanding of what is going on, so that you are not spending time worrying about that when you are trying to trap someone while they are doing the PVE and you are hunting them.

As some one who almost exclusivly pve's... 1. no. 2. no. 3. no. 4. no. 5. no.
other reason? it's easy, takes no time to set up, i can start it any time i like, and end it any time i like, with little risk of loss/wasted time fitting something new. I dont have to rely on others to do it. it's something casual, that i can do on my own terms at my own time with little to no real preparation.
and it makes isk.
done.
stop trying to over think things. |

Except its not stealth at all. It just shows how unflexible, onesided and selfloving some(! not all) pvplers think.
This "superior" thingy seems to be a common wet dream for some pvp-ppl.
As some PvPlers do PvE to help out for isk and standing, PvElers do some PVP when they like to. So in basic, its the same ppl. (aka the same brain) I would this tiny train of thought would make those pathetic guys understand. However that will not happen.
Another sienctific question: do some pathetic pvplers have lower brain functions, social competences, so they can not understand other ppl then themself?
OP, what do you think?

That site is down ^^
If the question you are asking is "Why doesn't everyone go out and find the peeveepee?", I can answer, at least for myself, I find the majority of it boring. Sure, the 3 minutes of shooting each other is fun but the 2, 3, 4 and 5 hours before that tend to be pretty ******* boring. There are better games out there if you want to shoot at each other and there is more to Eve than shooting each other (or waiting for an opportunity to do so) thankfully.
Also, I probably should post this with a different character because now everyone is going to go raa raa scrub, 0.0, carebear F1 monkey shithead raa raa but the way you worded this topic, it seems like you might be reasonable with someone's honest response ^^ |

This thread was doomed from the start in regards to its original quest of being scientific due to a lack of definitions.
An early step in researching stuff is defining stuff; what IS stuff?
How do you define "PvP"? If I say one thing about PvP and you say another; how do you know we actually (dis)agree if we don't know exactly what it is were talking about? Were we even discussing the same thing?

Thats why some ppl say this is just a covered up superiority thread.
Why PvE?
NPCs are no griefers. NPCs are no luckers who are smartassing and try to tell how great they are. NPCs do not try to sell you that PvE is better than PvP. NPCs are no humans, so there are no idiots you have to struggle with.

There are people who don't like to PvP, of course. But PvE is fast boring, especially alone. So why PvE then ? To finance your PvP, you need to earn money, and earning enough money only by PvPing is not so simple. => PvE. I'm always laughing when someone serves me the "Risk vs Reward" song : There are very few risks when PvEing in High Sec or Nullbearland and the rewards are huge. There are huge risks to lose money while PvPing and the reward when you win is in average meh.

Nah he's gonna come with 'lol this is my forum alt' , 'lol i allways fly logi' or something like that .It's how it allways goes, i'd love it if one of these days someone posting anti-pve would also have some trackrecord of actually being a pvp'er.

My friends playstyle is in contrast with my own , but i never tried to pull them to my way of playing because i do understand that what is fun for one person is pure missery for the other.

I pvp for fun. I pve for isk. When I started I thought pve was fun. I tried all sorts of different types of it, as so much was interesting to me. Mining and industry were so complex I was immediately drawn to them. I could build stuff! I ran missions to buy shiny things I wanted, but I'm terrible at managing my finances so I usually spent as much as I made. After a couple of years each type of pve that I engaged in slowly became less and less fun. I branched out and put up my own POS so I could broaden my options when it came to industry... and went a little crazy with invention and building T2 thingies. Eventually maintaining it and gathering stuff became tedious... you can only mine up so many battleships and battlecruisers before the rocks start whispering sweet sweet nothing in your ear about murdering your fellow man. I almost quit because it was starting to feel like a part time job.
Now I sometimes make ISK from pvp, but the truth is that I generally operate at a loss. I sometimes pve, but usually on an alt as the killboards are littered with really good reasons to be extra careful when missioning during wartime. I still suck at managing my finances, but I don't care as much anymore now that I've accepted that I personally would rather have fun than make ISK. Others have their own reasons for playing the way they want to, and they are perfectly valid. I'm just providing my own.
Also, there are no griefers. They're all playing minecraft.
Come hell or high water, this sick world will know I was here.

Don't get me wrong, i understand that and i fully agree. But IF you want to PvP, you need to finance it with PvE, that was my point. And if you don't enjoy to PvE, then it's just a chore you still need to cope with, because PvP is a sport for the rich, as soon as you fly something else than a T1 frigate. The forum PvPers should not be so scornful and conceited, true, but maybe shouldn't you be so touchy, Sir.

No it ain't. Maybe for some is...
Its like sports: Some do it cause they love fair competition and can even have fun loosing.
And then there are the others, more pathetic ones, that want to win so hard, that they cover their handycaps with cheats and doping.

When mugging and hijacking become sports I will become a sports fan.
I don't fight fair unless I have to. If I have to, I have done something wrong.
PvP isn't any less diverse in how it's done than PvE is, to be honest. Just as there's exploration, mining, market, missions, incursions and industry the other side has it's list of versions of fun.
Hot drops, ganks, gate camps, station games, suspect baits, safaris, duels and blobs... All are equally valid, just everyone has their own specific preference when it comes down to it.
Yes, some do it for tears. Others do it for the adrenaline rush of having a real live and arguably thinking opponent to play against.

PvP isn't any less diverse in how it's done than PvE is, to be honest. Just as there's exploration, mining, market, missions, incursions and industry the other side has it's list of versions of fun.
Hot drops, ganks, gate camps, station games, suspect baits, safaris, duels and blobs... All are equally valid, just everyone has their own specific preference when it comes down to it.
Yes, some do it for tears. Others do it for the adrenaline rush of having a real live and arguably thinking opponent to play against. And he will come ... ... slap him really, really hard ...

Another question: PvPlers like OP can obviously not understand PvElers and why they have fun. On the other hand the PvElers understand what Fun there is for PvPlers?
That would suggest PvElers are smarter, not vice versa.

I mostly PVE with industry in research/invention/manufacturing.
I don't do it because the money's good (it is, hell of a lot better than mining anyways) but because I enjoy the feeling I get when I build things, knowing that in the near-future my products will either be on the market for everyone to buy or fly in if its ships I built.
Kind of like how a carpenter gets that satisfied feeling when he sees his project house get completed. |

As far as Ive been able to figure it out, it all depends upon if you like "The Rush".
The Rush is a good felling one gets with and after a burst of adrenaline associated with an exciting experience, like PvP combat. Not everyone gets The Rush. Some get no pleasure from adrenaline, and some actually feel bad or sick from it. According to Dr. Drew Pinsky, the difference between these people is genetic. You are born to get The Rush, or you are not. The result is some players will not enjoy PvP and actively seek to avoid it, and no amount of game tweaking will change that, because game tweaking will not change their genes. After all this is a game, people will tend to avoid game activities that make them sick. Instead they do cooperative activities, industry, missions and the like, or just play as solo players.
People who do not get The Rush can also enjoy activities like fishing, a sport that is more popular that any computer game, even WoW. Or puzzle games, or solitaire, or Golf (one of the most popular pastimes on the planet). These players like an activity that occupies the mind, is relaxing, and gives one a gentle feeling of accomplishment as they watch the isk pile up. For them, a certain amount of repetition is not boring, its reassuring and relaxing.

Makes perfect sense!
While I do enjoy PVP, taken from the rare occasional times I dabbled in it while in Null, I am much more happy and at home sitting in my POS looking at the industry window and managing my indy jobs, researching the cheapest sources of mats on the market or doing the occasional mining if minerals on the markets are sparse or over-priced.
Everyone enjoys different aspects about the game. It's why this game is a "sandbox". PVP in my opinion, is just a small part of that sandbox.
If you think about it, industry is in effect a form of economic PVP, where you undercut people's profits on the market, buy cheap mats o build expensive end-products and fuel the PVP of the game by providing players with ammo/drones/mods/rigs/ships/etc...

There is a chess game and mathematical analysis involved in PVE. Especially solo. Don't let PVP bigger-upper 'leet noobs tell you any different. Doesnt. Www.eve-survival.com or whatever tell you eexactly what to do when tho? Sort of. But you still have use the right fit for that situation, manage range, manage your cap, prioritize targets, etc. Sometimes there's that room that you just can't beat until you come up with a better plan.

I like dangerous PvE slipping into an unknown SOV and taking down a 10/10 plex and then getting out again knowing that at any moment you could be hunted across nullsec in a sea of blues who all know that
A. You are carrying a fortune B. You ship is worth a fortune
I like being the underdog and the prey
If im the hunter then all i get to eat is PvE prey that have no chance against me at anytime
There is nothing predictable about nullsec ninja plexing. and you are completely on your own
Second best thing i ever did. Carrying 12 billion isk in modules and blue prints out of Nullsec in a single run
Best thing i ever saw. Was scanned down in mid warp and when i landed i was quickly followed by my attackers. lost everything and could not care less. It was a pleasure to see such EVE mastery at work. (Ive been scanned out lots of times but nothing ever like that)

What makes people want to pve? Is it the "victory against bad guys" appeal? Is it the "i want to 'finish' the game/beat the game" idea? Is it the content? Like that its fun? Is it the commradie of taking down the "boss"? Is it the "puzzles" like finding right spec, trying out correct techniques?
Any other psychological reasons you can think of?

This is extremely short sighted. While that may be true for someone, it's not universally true.
Myself for instance, I never had a 'bad' pvp experience, I have had some EMBARRASING PVE loses (some of them have killmails either based on the fact that a real player took a shot at me, or an alt or buddy accidentally aggressed me) and consequently I've lost major assets due to pve. As for ship to ship combat PVP, the only kind I actually "crave" is the kind that takes null space (aka the "big blobs") because I like being a part of a big fleet, and taking space means new PVE opportunities for people like me. Small gang, solo, hot dropping, gate camping and other forms of "making stuff go boom for the sake of making it go boom" PVP doesn't appeal to me though I will sometimes join a corp/alliance roam just to keep my face on a killboard because the PVPrs running the corp think that's important .
There are lots of reasons (even in a PVP-centric game) to prefer PVE (I'm not exclusive, but a good 90% of what I do in game is PVE) that are not 'bad' reasons. EVE's sandbox PVE appeals to tinkerer/puzzle-solver/engineer type gamers. It's not the actual PVE content (which is generally uninteresting by itself), it's the fact that there are MILLIONS of ways to tackle that content and finding those ways are fun for us, everything from figuring out how to do regular lvl 4 missions with frigate sized ships to figuring out how to multi-box null sec anomalies without any kind of isboxer style crap (all i'll say is "FOUR FoF missile T1 Ravens warping in at 100km, screw your expensive smartbombing battleships at zero where they can get pointed by npcs crap" lol).
This is in direct contrast to "themepark" style PVE that is focuses on "telling a story and making the player part of the story, and making that player the HERO of the story". CCP has actually demonstrated some understanding in this regard with adding Drifters and Burner Missions and watching people explode as they try to figure them out.
Lots of EVE PVErs are delusional and disappointed "misplaced themeparkers" that play the game despite the fact that it just cannot provide the kind of immersive experience real PVE focused games do. But lots of us are not like that, we like EVE PVE for what it is and don't need CCP screwing that up by trying to get 'creative' in hopes of entertaining un-entertain-able people. |

Some of m most expensive losses have been in PvE, because I tend to be less careful than if I were facing other players. I tend to forget that if you end up at the wrong range and don't start aligning out fast enough, or get blobbed by scram/web frigates, the NPC's actually can make your ship go boom.
Especially if I've been running the same missions for awhile I tend to get careless and hilarity ensues. Like when I lost a proteus in the second room of Worlds Collide because I didn't pull range before aggressing the mob of elite frigates sitting on the warpin...80/90% resists don't save you when you're quadruple webbed and target painted in front of a dozen battleships and cruisers.
I am not a very good min/maxer.

The puzzle-solving aspect of PVE make it interesting. There is enough variety for different people to approach it in different ways for different reasons. I enjoy its availability, and the chance to try different approaches to the same problem to see what happens. But it is not merely about mastery! I have been known to send the "wrong" ship into a mission just to see if I could get it back out. This can give me "The Rush" more surely than most PVP, simply because it happens over a long enough time period for suspense to build while I puzzle a way out. When I warped my Abaddon out of Buzz Kill vs Angels after having complicated things greatly by shooting the triggers, and after the last two of my five Warrior IIs had finally killed the last of the elite frigate that had pointed me, the ship was at 14% hull, and my hands were trembling!
By contrast, PVP combat is often much less exciting to me, simply because so many people ensure that the outcome is a foregone conclusion. Foregone conclusions fail to interest me for long. I might learn a good trick from watching a clever pilot. I might discover how my ship can be rendered toothless (woe to my beloved golden laser bricks!). Both slake my curiosity. Neither are thrilling. If I I could not focus as absolutely on combat as he does, so perhaps at a later time when I have done all that I can with the content I currently enjoy I will try to play his way. |

The forums ate my replies, so briefly,
An example of common theme I hear from ratters: - They got in a battleship too soon. - Went to Low Sec and was blasted off the grid. - They then heard about slave implants, boosters, hard wires, boosting ships, pilots with 180M+ SP and perfect skills. - They looked at how long these things would take them to acquire, lost hope and forgot about PVP entirely.

I can PvE while watching TV shows or browsing the Internet, so it's kinda better than sitting idle in the station. PvP requires your full attention, so you may not always have the ability to do it, depending on your free time. Also, PvE is easier in most cases.
If someone catches me unprepared, then good for him. Also it feels like a win when you obliterate everything, even if it's red crosses. Being jammed, scrambled, cap drained and webbed definitely doesn't feel that good, but it comes with PvP.
These are some of the reasons why I do more PvE than PvP, but the main one is the lack of free time and being unable to communicate, which is mandatory in PvP. Can't talk much when my 1yo son is sleeping in the next room. I am expecting things to change once he grows up. I have no doubts that this game will outlive me.  |

Just from my point of view, I did extensive missioning the first months to get into the game (was the natural succession from the tutorials and the sisters arc), and get my standings up. ISK was a point but not the dominating one as I started with my 400mio from the buddy invite (yes, PLEX were that cheap in 2013 ). Today I'm running relic sites for ISK, but to be honest it's not what it was when it was still new for me and exciting ... what I really liked was flying logi in an Incursion, because it is not all "automatic" and actually challenging. It's a goal of mine to join an Incursion community once my skills permit (T2 logi and support skills). I tried combat exploration in an Ishtar, but it was not fun ... when I play and enjoy EvE for me that means combat PvP, solo roaming, small gang, big fleet, whale hunting, and the communities ...this is what me gets attached to that game.
I'm my own NPC alt.

Yeah i passed rancer a few weeks ago and one jump ahead of the system i noticed it would take me through rancer so expected a quick death but meh , so i jumped in and .... nothing , the system was allmost empty.Just to be sure i didn't directly warp to the outside gate because obviously there would be a disco battleship , it wasn't there though.Instead of being happy that i survived it i felt a little sad that the rancer of old had vanished.
What the hell happened to rancer ?

PVE: predictable, you win if you don't mess up, easy to do solo --> relaxing, no social effort, (mildly) satisfying
PVP: unpredictable, you win if you're better/nastier/smarter/sneakier/luckier than the other guy(s), hard to do solo --> usually requires social effort, can be either thrilling or depressing

... a surprised nothing.
I went through Rancer three times in a few days apart.
In my pod.
Back and forth.
Nothing.
What happened ? Good question. I got to ask Santo eventually when I saw him in lowsec, but he didn't really want to talk about it. I think Mag's told me, but I forgot... so I might be wrong. ^_^
Whatever happened there shortened the Hek-Jita route considerably ...
... without most people even noticing.

The market would tank, due to demand outpacing supply. Just as it would if there were no PVP, as the supply would outpace demand. EVE needs a healthy balance of both to keep itself healthy. Most of us get this, which is probably why it hasn't been mentioned yet.

Well, we know players shooting other players ships is definitely PVP, and shooting rats is PVE, but the business of manufacturing and trading... now is that PVE... don't think so.

No one who dislikes grinding for ISK need do so. Work an extra hour in the real world, buy a PLEX, issue solved. Even driving slower on the freeway makes ISK at around 300 mil per hour. (That is, drive slower, spend more time getting there, save gas money. Use saved money to buy PLEX. You get 300 million ISK for every extra hour you spend on the freeway.)

Just for the S&G of it, I'll give you a serious answer.
I don't PVP because I have a TBI that makes it impossible for me to respond to the rapid flow of information and make rapid decisions that are necessary. Even following the FC's orders places my side in jeopardy as it takes me up to 10 seconds to respond to orders. Don't even try and tell me anything more than "jump and hold cloak" because it simply won't be understood enough to remember.
Now, I quit PVE'ing after my first six months or so playing when I decided to move to null sec, once I thought I found a corp that understood my limitations. That didn't work out so well and I'm not going to do drama to explain why. Back to empire for another six months until I finally found a corp made up of mostly veterans who clearly understood.
Now, not being able to PVP didn't mean I didn't want the thrill. All this time I was working on my reflexes and muscle memory while mining. For a little over two years I lived in null being the main provider of minerals for our corp, and I seldom lost a ship, and I have multiple accounts and I make a crud ton of ISK. The thrill for me is living in an area long enough to learn the frequent neuts, what they fly, what predictable path they use through the systems and then avoid them. Top that off with having to be ready to squad warp my guys at a seconds notice if a neut is missed by intel or comes through a WH, or there was a log off in system that we didnt get informed about and, for me, that's FUN.
That corp has folded and I was very fortunate to find this one. We're giving WH life a try while this fozzysov BS gets worked out and I'm having to adapt my playstyle to a lack of local. I'll either learn and adapt or I won't be able to be part of he team. If it turns out I'm a liability after much trying to not get 'sploded then I'll make a decission how to procede from there.
It's not that I like being prey, that's why I seldom get blown up. But I hate pve because it doesn't give me a "rush". Keeping my miners from being content does. Managing cycles while dealing with rats while watching for neuts? Big freeking rush - for my sandbox.
Did that answer your question? Whipple |

There is a chess game and mathematical analysis involved in PVE. Especially solo. Don't let PVP bigger-upper 'leet noobs tell you any different. Doesnt. Www.eve-survival.com or whatever tell you eexactly what to do when tho? That site is down ^^ If the question you are asking is "Why doesn't everyone go out and find the peeveepee?", I can answer, at least for myself, I find the majority of it boring. Sure, the 3 minutes of shooting each other is fun but the 2, 3, 4 and 5 hours before that tend to be pretty ******* boring. There are better games out there if you want to shoot at each other and there is more to Eve than shooting each other (or waiting for an opportunity to do so) thankfully. Also, I probably should post this with a different character because now everyone is going to go raa raa scrub, 0.0, carebear F1 monkey shithead raa raa but the way you worded this topic, it seems like you might be reasonable with someone's honest response ^^
When I go out and do peeveepee I *facepalm* my keyboard when I fall asleep.

The reasons I PvE more than PvP is as following:
- Solo PvP barely exists - always gate camps, always small gangs, always baits - In small gangs, you don't know what people bring to the table, in terms of computer/internet connection. A "Socket Closed" error can kill a small gang; game lag due to poor computer - Time zones - my friends do PvP when I'm at work and vice versa - Comms - I can't multitask between my wife and game - PLEX - as long as you're allowed to work and buy game time, I prefer spending 20 bucks treating my friends with pizza - I "dislike" the Combat exploration (sometimes) when it comes to people who believe when they find someone in a site = competition or they are allowed to steal - Karma strikes instant sometimes - ISK - PvP, at one point, will make you lose your ship, implants => without ISK to replace the ship loss + the Implants => No PvP - Modules/Implants - I'm still a new player - Skill points gain is important for me => I cannot bring +5s in PvP or Deadspace modules - unless I have the ISK to not care if I lose them - which brings us to the point above - Some of the terms people use in Gangs I might not understand => people yelling at me for being a noob => frustration => I will dislike doing fleet PvP => since there is no solo => no PvP at all - PvE has no obligations like PvP - If I wanna do a site or don't, depends on me => people might call you names if you bail a fleet (and we all know the repertoire)
And reasons can be a lot, but primaries are: 1. ISK 2. People 3. Specific Limitations
I don't judge people who gate camp, if that's what's making them happy, so be it. If something makes you happy, you should keep doing it. Don't try to understand concepts like "why people PvE more than PvP?" or "Why do females act like they do?" etc
Play the game as you like, as you enjoy! |

What makes people want to pve? Is it the "victory against bad guys" appeal? Is it the "i want to 'finish' the game/beat the game" idea? Is it the content? Like that its fun? Is it the commradie of taking down the "boss"? Is it the "puzzles" like finding right spec, trying out correct techniques?
Any other psychological reasons you can think of?
Please keep this a scientific study that is about pve in eve.
I only do pve for a number of reason: Life is stressful and I find exploring in Eve relaxing just the process of following the routine. I don't have the dexterity in my hands to be able to effectively PvP. as in being able to hit keyboard short cuts and all that.
Having said that I enjoy the threat of PvP when I explore, which is way I now mainly do my exploration out side hi sec. The Threat add's to the immersive feel in the game.
Even tho I can't PvP ( or can't effectively PvP ) for real reasons I don't think the game would be as fun if it weren't a constant threat.

My personal opinions:
-Probably they just want to play the game. PVE and PVP means playing a game, which we do. -That can't be, since it would be a reason for both PVE and PVP. The other is always the bad guy, after all. -Probably not. -Obviously, contrary to many jokes there aren't enough masochists to keep EVE alive otherwise. -What boss? Do you mean drifters? Sure yes, in group oriented content this probably takes a major role. Otherwise nope. -This again is a reason for both PVE and PVP.
Uh maybe you should rework your questions if you want this to be "scientific". Half your questions are relevant for both PVE and PVP, you should clean that up if you want your "study" to aim at PVE exclusively. And you don't differentiate between group and solo content, which makes you sound like you don't even know much about PVE except that it exists. Not really a promising sign for your "scientific" study.
Good luck though. |

Probably because it's a more relaxing style of play. |
