Not all the routes to null are camped... And once you get a clone there its a relatively simple affair to bring in about 300k m3 of stuff from Jita to keep you well supplied.

If you're referring to Wide Open West as your ISP, it's WOW!, not EVE. Wide Open West (now called WOW!) has had horrible cable service forever, and they have generally been behind the curve in speeds forever. They just caught up to the lower end most major cable companies and still don't service but maybe 1/100th area most major cable providers service.
Make sure your modem is Docsis 3, if it's not you're going to have a lot of issues. |

Join a nullsec corp that can teach you the ropes then! There are a lot of nullsec corps that hire pubbies blind. You're probably not going to get into one that watches the forums now--the whole whining about "unsurvivable gate camps" thing is a fairly large black mark--but you could work up some cred in one of the renter corps until people forget.
If you don't want to, fine...but lack of friends is a choice, not a game mechanic. |

Is there something you do with this isk? For the same exact reasons PVPers PVP. Just as amassing kills on a killboard is the thrill to some, amassing riches and isk is the thrill to others. I'd say that building up riches is the end goal for many players. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Sure, some will hate. Some will envy. Some will rage, throw tantrums, and insult. But there is absolutely nothing wrong with amassing isk for the sole purpose of amassing isk if that's what tickles you. |

Sometimes I go to the beach, won't go in the water and will just sit there, simply enjoying the view and breeze. Does that bother you? Why is it you think that when someone goes outside they have to do what you think it is they have to do? But more to the point, why is it you think that people need to have a conventional goal to play this game? |

I'll bite and answer the question.
As someone who both mines and runs missions, is in a (usually) solo corporation, and until recently rarely interacted with many others, the answer is simple. It's an entertaining way to pass the time.
I'm not a fan of very many TV shows, I like to play games, and I can mine or run missions while doing other things, such as reading forums or watching a movie or working from home.
I have no particular goals in Eve, it's just something to do.
Besides, if I get a bug in my ass and decide I actually do want to do something, well, I've got the isk and can actually do it. That's the nice thing about Eve. It's a sandbox where people can do pretty much whatever they want. There will always be people who ***** because some people like me don't play the game their way, but you know, CCP still gets there money every month so that everyone can keep playing however they want, so my question is, why does anybody else care how I play the game?

Is there something you do with this isk?
Simple: I enjoy not taking a larger role in the game. I like being a free-running maverick, doing my own stuff when and how I want to. I log-in when I want, with whichever character I fancy, chat with my corpies if they happen to be online too, maybe do some stuff together.
The isk? Well, I grow my pile. Fly anything I want, fitted with whatever I want. A jumpclone in every empire faction, each with a full fleet of top-end ships fitted with sexy mods. I can now solo all level 4's with shields steady above 95%, for example. And my main is close to getting a standing of 10.0 with all four empire navies.
I will never 'own' EVE in the megablob alliance sense, so I set myself realistic personal goals and chew my way towards those.

Not perfect to answer this, since I love 0.0 and wh ninja exploration, but I do a lot of high sector too.
Here are my main motivations to do high sector:
a) Collector: - I want any sub capital ship in eve as a nice faction fit - I want all freely available bpo in eve as 100/100 - I want a 8.0 corp standing with every npc corp in eve ;)
b) Number junkie: - I want to do any mission done as fast as possible (meaning I optimize ships and fittings a lot to make a perfect run). (ps I would love to have a statistic in eve here ;) - I want to know every little piece of eve, every aspect, every profession, every mission, every plex (cosmos, fw or exploration) or expedition
c) I don't like waiting. Every time you do some group jobs it basically means waiting a lot for all people being ready. No fun
d) RL. 0.0 and blob warfare really suck, if you have to leave right in the middle and don't have more than 20min anyhow. |

There's tons of things which can be done in 0.0 which doesn't require 5+ hours of dedication pr day, it's not all 0.0 == blob warfare all day erry day, but there's no denying that 0.0 is something which commonly does require more work. |

1 word: SANDBOX.
This means any player can play EVE the way THEY like it. Some like null-sec, others like Incursions. Hell, I even have an alliance member who didn't undock his ship in about 8 months. All he does is chat, train, spin his ship, play on market and gives advice to people. If he wants to do that, he CAN, that's what makes EVE fun for every sub.
True, I'm also fascinated what makes people to stay in Empire. Especially the true mission runners, after 1 week of mission running myself I got bored about the whole concept. There are only a handfull of missions (though name and rats vary) and it usually goes like this: Undock - Fly to mission pocket - Shoot any red crosses on your overview - Return to station - (optional: take the noctis to salvage the white triangles on your overview) - Turn in mission.
So I wonder, what is it that keeps those mission runners going. On incursions, never done them, so no clue about what drives those people. Hear the rewards are great, but then in the end, when you have the ultimate ship + fit, what else is there to gain from the Incursions beside loads of ISK and LP and the gratification you just shot a couple of Sansha's home again. (No offence to both mission runner and incursion runners here btw, like I said EVE is just a out-of-space version of the Sahara dessert, so people can do what they want).
I do agree that more people should TRY low-sec and null-sec but am totally against forcing people there or complaining that people like to stay in Empire. When I started my character I said I wouldn't leave empire ever, then some people said I should at least try null-sec. Now I'm sold and never want to leave null though I also like to spent some small times in the safety of high-sec from time to time.
Conclusion, good idea of the OP. Though not the way he started the post. J'Poll Recruiter - Imperial Legi0n

I am one of these players the OP is referring to. The game for me is solo, it may not have been designed this way, but actually most of the game lends itself well to solo play except ironically PVP.
So I spend my time mining, building, trading, hauling, mission running and exploring.
I have lived in lo and hi sec but from my view the game is hi-sec - anyone who goes to null is only going to farm ISK - what else i s actually there in null?? To play the actual game it's lo and hi - simple.
The reason I don't join a corp - because I will not take orders, I will not wear a headset and talk to the screen., show me a corp of like minded players - equals - and I will join.
Most of all EVE is a solo game, say what you like, it is solo and I'm just waiting for CCP to realize this and let us have safe space, PVP arena tournaments, the ability to walk around in stations, and to build bars and space-stations.
For the game to grow this is the future - not null.
Ask yourselves why the subscriber numbers are so low for a game as complex and beautiful as eve.

I disagree, even tho most of isk creating activities are indeed solo / two, three accounts...

I do not think that word means what you think it means.
The idea of solipsism is that only one's "Self" or mind can be verified and nothing else. After all, we might be living in the Matrix or our neighbors might really BE super sophisticated non-intelligent robots.)
Somewhere along the line solipsism became equated with narcissism which it is NOT.
Solipsism says there is nothing but the self.
Narcissism says the world should reflect the self.
They are quite different.

Mining -- OK yeah you can solo that (but it's a hell of a lot more "fun" to bullshit with mates whilst doing so). Building -- Unless you're not sourcing materials from the market, I suppose you can build solo. But it takes a DAMN long time to get materials for stuff. Trading -- you're trading with other people... Hauling -- OK, mostly solo ... but it's nice to be with people and be able to say "hey, if you have space, you mind grabbing me a $THING on your way home from Jita?" Mission Running -- nearly as soul crushing as mining alone. Exploration -- you kinda need people if you're exploring W-space (sleepers hurt )

Nullsec is centred around building YOUR paradise amongst the stars (or, well, that's what it's supposed to be). Yeah, you can make a ton of ISK by being out there. Empire and W-space are gimped variants of null. Hisec -- CONCORD, etc Lowsec -- still get GCC, no sov, no bubbles, etc W-space -- null sans supercaps

Funny, I've never had a problem finding a corp where people were treated as equals the majority of the time. Sure, there's always the situations where you get to "hey guys, we really need you to train $SKILL to help us accomplish $GOAL -- here's the book". Honestly, that's not a bad thing though.
No TS/Vent comms because you don't want to speak rather than type is pretty daft. Do you also reject the usage of phones because you're talking to open air?

So, um, go to SISI once in a while. WiS (if done PROPERLY) may be a nice facet of EVE, but the core gameplay is FiS.
Funny story about WiS being the "future" of EVE -- it nearly killed it. Now that they've refocused on FiS, things are starting to look good again. I don't think WiS will be killed off, but it's never going to be more than a niche market within CCP's playerbase.

Niche Game Not a WOW Clone Not on Rails Wait, you mean I have to come up with the content?! Learning Cliff
TBH though, I don't mind the fact that the game is only 300k subscribers or so.

But mostly, I don't have the time to invest in a corp. I only play when I feel like it, and when things like Skyrim come along, I may not log in for weeks. That doesn't make me a good asset to a corp. Things like POS's require upkeep and protection, so I can't even effectively homestead my own place. I could low-sec pvp, but I don't play enough to generate the income to keep up that sort of lifestyle, since I'll probably lose a lot of ships learning.
So what is there for someone like me to do that isn't mining boring, but pays well? Mission. Content that is always there, always ready, and based on my timetable. Beholden to no one's schedule or desires but my own.
And you act like I never buy anything. Like my isk mountain just grows and grows and I sleep on it like some sort of really awesome space dragon. I buy better modules. I dump salvage into the system. I buy a crap ton of ammunition. I buy rigs and better tractors for my salvage boat. I buy scout ships for when I want to just fly around the universe for no damn reason other than to see the sights. True, I've been saving for a Machariel, so I have some wealth amassed, but I also bought a Tornado a couple days ago just because it was so sweet looking. I don't even have a use for it. But boom, 51 mill in someone's pocket.
I play the game the way I've found it works for me. No one gets to tell me whether that's right or wrong. It is mine.
I am saving up to buy an Archon just because I think it would be cool to have. I won't even play docking games with it. |

As an industrialist player, I would go to null more easily if it wasn't such a gigantic pita to move my stuff. First I have to run my clone out there so I can hop back and forth, then I need to get some ships and gear out there either by shipping it myself or jumping it down. Then I have to work in an environment where mining is a hell of a lot of work for not a huge gain. T1 manufacturing is a huge hassle and T2 is almost impossible compared to empire.
If you want people in null sec, it's not the risk people should be looking at. It's the logistics of being able to do things like refine minerals, build T2 items and ships, and being able to move into null sec without taking half a day trying to find a pipe without bubbles and gate camps to get there. In a nutshell, I would like to see improvements to make manufacturing easier. That would be a start. I can deal with getting a clone to null, but being able to buy/build my stuff there would make it less of a hassle and easier for me to contribute. If need a freighter full of crap before I can do much, that's not going to get me moving any faster.
I don't care about losing ships or getting podded. I care about wasting my time when I should be having fun. Most of my times in null have been a waste of my time.

I'm surprised anyone is still in nullsec. You'd have to be a zombie to suffer being told what to do, having your play dictated by what the gang wants to do. No personal freedom. Getting hassled for not being logged in all the time. Getting hassled for not being a sad, online nerd all day. And what do you mainly do? Long periods of nothing while roaming around killing anything smaller than you.
******* BORING.
Their is a shitload to do in hisec/lowsec in your own time in your own way - and it doesn't have to be PVP-free. |

The question should be, How many people will never go back to null sec. Some might have spent a day there, some might have spent years. The common element being, once you did it and decided it wasn't for you or wasn't any longer it's back to high sec or quit. Most if not all players in EVE go there much like low sec. It's a question of what they do after that. |
