How to measure success in Eve? And how would you do it for your own? |

Logging off for the day with a smile on my face.
Perhaps because I had tons of pvp fun, perhaps because some retards got put in their place through "nefarious ways", perhaps I made a killing with exploration, perhaps because I helped some newbie understand the "true EVE" opening his eyes, perhaps because I helped a small corp of upstarts learn to defend themselves against wardecs and asshats (like me). Or just perhaps I just logged in, chatted with a whole bunch of people while getting absolutely nothing done at all but still had a good time. |

If I continue to enjoy myself I am being successful.
I play as I wish in the manner that I wish and choose when I answer to anothers call.
CCP has paid my way for three years and I will not begrudge the money when I once again have to pay my own sub nor will I scrabble and scratch for isk to try to 'play for free'
By my own rules . . . .I am winning

That is my measure of success.

Tricking you into writing Haikus for a paltry 100m ISK, then bountying you and nearly having a fit over the KMs Want to do it again? Will pay 200m this time
Getting people to sing on the forum 
Getting people to sing on comms 
Asking someone to explain transversal three times, then asking him to explain the offside rule, with 3 other women stood behind me guffawing 
Using experiences in EvE IRL, like changing career direction. Talking to some of the smartest people I've come across. Being taught to see things from multiple perspectives, or more completely changing my mind over things based upon conversations. Being able to participate in the game at a text based level (which is awesome when you love reading but despise twitch gaming). Using EvE as a lens to view the rest of the internet with bizarre results. Lurking in plain sight to study the strange male mind with hilarious results.
Particular favourite hobby - spotting interesting people/high profile figures ingame then sneaking upto them to talk to them (sometime on alts) without them knowing it's me. And then mentioning it years later. Oh, and trying to construct hideously complicated ingame challenges then executing them. Some of these projects have been ongoing for years, it's almost like playing against yourself. And everyone else.

Man you guys seem to get super mad I'm much more successful at what I do than you.
I suggest not measuring your own self-worth against others. Be happy with who you are. I know it's hard because you don't have much to work with, but if you stop comparing yourselves to your betters (people like me) you'll have a more fulfilling, enjoyable life.
Good luck nerds. |

I measure success in several ways
By how many laughs me and my corp mates can entice out of each other.
Winning a tight fight, or losing a tight fight is also success.
Finishing the month with more ISK than I started the month, no matter how meager.

I got jumped at a poco this morning. I didn't panic. I hit the damage control, and the hardeners immediately instead of forgetting about them completely. I micro jumped out of web range, aligned to a book mark, and warped out unscathed.
I've gone from skulking around and avoiding camps to going about my business with impunity.
Man, I'm having a blast.

i was flying Orca once... routine flight within high sec, but it was Placid i think or somewhere around that area, i wasn't afk cause i was moving two legions and faction mods for them but it was midnight and i miss clicked the gate name... and right after gate activated i found myself in low sec oh boy what a feeling! i got adrenalin ignitor activated with alarm beacon in my head...
check local i was the only one, was thinking for a second should i start burning back to the gate? nah damn thing is too slow for that high chances someone jump in and tackle me while my lame attempt to reach the gate, so i quickly jumped to the sun @ 100km and right after i re-aligned to the safe gate someone appeared in local, to my surprise it was one of my friend who was running his DST back to high sec 
when i told him what just happened, he was laughing at me all next day

After several subbed-unsub-resub itterations I finally feel like I am successful in game. It comes from that I can make more isk than I lose. I get a big in me to do something stupid from time to time, now I just don't regret it afterwards. I have great fun making people scratch their heads going "What was he thinking". Of course the great fun is when I can surprise the hell out of someone doing the Unexpected...but that usually doesn't go so well for me.
