You're posting on an alt so its hard to know what your actual experience in Eve was beyond what you have described for us. But it seems like you never embraced the pvp aspect of the game. Your one mention of pvp (gate camping) is one of the most boring types plus tends to just be blobbing rather than actual competition.
When you say Eve is a boring game I, like other pvpers, know you haven't participated in the portion of the game that IS exciting. So exciting in fact that the adrenaline rush that results is like nothing experienced in any other game. There is just nothing like it and once you have had it, you crave it from then on. Unfortunately, after a few thousand battles its harder to get that feeling but it does happen, even then.
People quit Eve because they never figure out how to just go out and shoot someone. They spend too much time acquiring assets thinking they need better skills, better ships, better friends. They don't. They just need to go find someone and shoot them in the face. Yeah, its better to win so you work on perfecting your fits, honing your tactics, discarding what doesn't work. But you have to lock onto that first target, press the damn trigger and watch your shields evaporate, the warnings screech, the " the module has run out of charges" (I KNOW THAT B*#*@H! RELOAD FASTER!) and the explosion. Hopefully the other guy's.
Gives me the shivers just to think about it. Couldn't even work the mouse for minutes after in those early days. But its a hook like no drug you can buy.
I understand that this isn't for everyone. As I said, I can't see your killboard so I can only speculate that your pvp experience (except for the gate camping which is BORING) is as a target. If pvp is something you only avoid, not seek, you WILL burn out on this game. Without pvp as your goal everything else you do is pointless. You have now realized this.
If you choose to be a pvper you will lose ships, you will be tricked and trapped, you will be ridiculed when you lose, you will be insulted when you win, you will have to figure out some way to pay for it all without PvEing for hours... but you will enjoy the game.
This game IS fun. More fun than any other. But no one is going to make it fun for you. You have to do it yourself. Go try to kill someone. You don't even have to have a reason like my fellow Agents and I do. Although that helps a lot.
Sorry about your eyes. I have some of those same issues.
