Hi,

I have this issue,

I really like this game, been playing it a while.

But you see, I like RL more, i dont want to spend much time with this game more than I have to.

Only just to log in, do whatever i feel like for a little bit and log off.

I am willing to put 3h a week into this game.

My issue with that ammount of time and the options available to me ingame to be able to afford it (ie some pvp and losing/replacing ships), simply dont allow me to do so without a minimum effort of at least 8hrs a week.

I do not have such time, yet, I still want to pay my sub and play the way i'd like to.

I cannot afford to buy PLEX as I prefer saving my money for other more important stuff.

So here are the options laid out:

Trading ? Impossible as I'd have to log on every couple hours every day to adjust prices if my aim is to make good income in a competitive market.

Ded sites module farming ? Not possible, as that alone would take a good couple of hours to find and run through, not to mention the irrecoverable risk of losing a ratting ship next to my limited playtime allowance.

WH Pi ? Not worth the effort as most wh alliances and corps would require a time dedication that i simply cannot give, not mention how I hate being forced on TS to listen to you guys blabble crap in my ears within the comfort of my own home.

Empire Pi ? Not worth the hauling and preparation effort to make it feasible within my playtime.

Null Exploration ? A likely contender, but the ammount of time usually taken to find a good enough site trumps all over my playtime allowance, good relic sites with tech 2 mods bp's in are scarce, and good data sites even more.

Incursions ? Nope, the time it takes finding a fleet easily trumps my playtime, and no way would I want to find myself ratting for all the time I have.

Scamming ? A very likely contender, as I've never really tried it. Im open to private suggestions/help on this.

And the list could surely go on I hope ...

If you guys have any other ideas, feel free to add in. It's either I find a solution to this soon or Im pretty much biomassing all my **** for good, as I dont see the point, nor do I see myself playing this game in the far future.

Cheers.

Does it matter ? You wont sleep tonight if I dont tell you ?

But you see, I like RL more, i dont want to spend much time with this game more than I have to.

Good for you. Many players leave the game for the sake of time. Don't be stupid, go get married, have kids, get promoted. Buy a console and play console games. EVE Online has some problems, and is good for unemployed, part time employed, employed at boring jobs, single, university and other folks who have more free time on their hands.

what is it that you do that only affords you 3 hours a week? are you sleeping 16 hours a day? do you work 60 hours a week? or is it a limit that your parents put on you? is this a temporary thing or are you stuck at 3 hours a week permanently?

There are a lot of people out there that don't live and breathe Eve 24/7. It sometimes seems that this community assumes that all the players only work, play Eve, and sleep. Some of us enjoy other things, have other hobbies, and play different games with the spare time that we have.

Life is about choices, so if you choose to do other things instead of play EVE, that's your choice. I have a family, hobbies other than EVE and work 2 jobs (one full time, the other is only about 6 hours a week) and still have time to play EVE.

You get to make those life choices, what you don't get to do is get everyone else to adjust their situations to your life/time choices. Thats really what this thread is about, it's "wahh CCP make the game different so I can have fun in a way I want regardless of any other considerations such as the entire rest of the EVE community".

No really it's not

You like to think so because of your habits of putting people down over this for too many years, but in my case it's not what I was going for.

You missed on the point ? Too bad, maybe take a bit of time off Eve and go read a book or something.

Hi,

I have issues

WH Pi ? Not worth the effort as most wh alliances and corps would require a time dedication that i simply cannot give, not mention how I hate being forced on TS to listen to you guys blabble crap in my ears within the comfort of my own home.

Clearly you're too good for us op. I'm not sure why you even wanna play this game. I mean, why waste your precious time to interact with some no-life, fat losers when you clearly live the superior life, being a superior human being.

If i'd give some honest advice for only being able to play 3 hours a week I'd advice you join a big group doing what you enjoy doing in eve, then interact with them in game, but most importantly outside game on forums and other games and stuff. Perhaps even irl. EVE is so much more than just in game content.

But then again... come to think about it, you sound like a condescending, narcissistic shitlord, so i hope you decide on the latter in your OP.

Wow, I didn't get that at all from the OP!

... Practical responses offering even a hint at a practical solution to remain ingame are welcome, the rest, you know where the door is. Ty

To tell in practical terms what YOU would do with the great many tools available in the game if you had only 3hrs a week to spend.

Clear enough ?
