Mindless ratting 4 hours straight to get that shiny golden phallus and extremely inefficient mods, only to be called primary while you: "(notify) An attempt is underway to activate the module. Please wait until that has completed.". Only way you get to know what actually happened was by reading the logs in the capture folder.
When you log in tomorrow you repeat the above.
Converted from minmatar to amarr flavor ^^
But yea, thats the big one there :D

THIS WHOLE @#$(&* GAME !!!!!!
At least with a stand alone game or Xbox or ANY OTHER GAME there is an ending.
But NO that would be too easy... instead I am stuck in this endless loop.
OH the misery OH the shame....
Endless hours of staring at a screen... setting up skill plans for months saying when those are done I will be happy...
I soooo miss multiple servers, and killing fairies and skeletons and knowing that entire sections of the game are not excessable to you because you are not in a uber guild because I decided to stick with friends...
OH I GIVE UP .. goes to pay the bill for just one more month of EVE

1. Dragging and dropping. Seriously, the user interface on eve is about as poor as any game I've played. Definitely feels a game from the 20th century. Don't want to use the mouse? Too bad! CCP has painstakingly researched the most efficient default hot-key setup for weapons... F1-F8 and then you can hold alt or control! Careful though, cause it can take a few seconds to register the button combo. Don't want to stop your turrett from firing when you're trying to fire up the old shield booster!
2. User interface. Have I mentioned it feels like a time sink? It's very hard to go from a totally slick interface rife with custom addons and information parsers to EVE. You'd think that the denizens of the future would have developed a better interface with their advanced virtual and cybernetic technology. Nope! Mouse over everything inside your pod, and scroll through the overview. Autoloot? Impossible.

Archaeology Plexes.
You can only take your CRUISER inside, but GUESS WHAT?!? There's 76 Frigates waiting for you! Oh, and their respawn time is about THREE MINUTES! And GUESS WHAT? It will take you 73 tries at 10 seconds each to analyze this Golden Turd of Mystery +3, after which you can retrieve your SuperAmazing Caldari Navy souvenir exotic dancers! But wait, there's more! Just when your analyzation was going to complete, six more frigates and a cruiser spawned! Your friend, he can tank them, but instead they target you!
So you warp out, only to warp back in to find everything has respawned. So, you kill it over, and over again, hoping this time you'll get close enough to get that decryptor. Of course, you have no speed mod fitted, because MWD's don't work in deadspace, and you need those med slots for the analyzer and tank mods.
And you die a little inside.

I guess training time is the worst for me. I don't even play at this point as I am waiting on a bunch of skills to finish and don't want to risk my +3 implants by actually playing the game until I get at least another 3 weeks worth of training out of them.
I know, it is sad, I am paying $15 a month to sit in a station and log in whenever I need to change a skill. 20 days and I can go out and play! It is a shame it is so hard to get jump clones solo.

2. Laughing on Vent about CCP's latest PR blunders
3. Speculating about the best way to photoshop the EvE logo to say BoB.

My big time sink is generally #1. Bit of a nomadic corp, always moving somewhere else, usually across the other side of Eve. Either that, or point A is home base, point B contains people to shoot.
Oh yeah, the whole nerfed thing is a bit stupid really (as I've learned the hard way), it's never worth training for any flavour of the month ship. Every ship has its good and bad patches, just stick with the one you are the most comfortable with. Perhaps it will be the joke of Eve at some point, perhaps it will become the omgwtfbbqpwn ship. Most of the time it will be merely balanced.
Real pvp != huge fleets. Huge fleets = slideshow + instapop.

No MWD's in deadspace.
Lazy game design, instead of making interesting missions, we'll just give you 3 acceleration gates each 100km from the warp in point and force you to fly between them with just an afterburner. Who in gods name thought this was a great idea. Can you say: Artifical. Time. Sink
Looting. Only being able to loot within 1500m, when most of the loot in mission is spread out over 100km (with no mwd to go between). What in gods name. I love showing Eve to my mates when they come over, and watch them wonder at the complexity and depth of the game. So I go do a mission to show them what combat is like, and they're all impressed by the game and ask "so how do you loot stuff" or something similar, and the only answer i've got is: Generally i'm expected spend 20 minutes flying around the same bit of space I was previously, flying right up to the wrecks so I can actually get half of the reward for killing the stuff. In fact looting often takes longer than killing the stuff. Thing is we've all gotten so used to eve and this sort of stuff we're not aware of it anymore, but when you show it to non eve players they're like WTF.
All ships need a single built in tractor beam or something. Looting is painful, boring, slow and mostly unrewarding.
Eve could be improved massively with a few very basic changes.
1. MWDs in deadspace
2. Missions with no accel. gates 100km apart, in fact interesting missions in general
3. Longer range looting / built in tractor beam for every ship
4. Warping that actually fking works, instead of after aligning spending 5 minutes flying in a straight line before you warp out whilst trying to escape a gatecamp
5. Faction / Standing requirements for missions/agents, another artificial time sink
6. Decent pathfinding / ship movement / collision models, to stop you "crashing" into a station or asteriod when you're 10km away from it
7. A "Move To" button, ie so you can actually stop next to a container instead of sailing past it like a **** before you can open it
8. Folders in personal station hangars (without needing to buy containers)
9. Autoreload that actually works
10. Fix the godforsaken drone menu

Hey yeah buddy, there's an idea. Let's make all ships warp as fast as pods so none of us ever lose a ship again, YAY! Now we avoid that damned FIVE SECOND TIME SINK!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the option "Approach" basically the same thing as "Move To"?
That which does not kill us makes us stranger |

My second favourite time sink is reading flames when the poster hasn't properly read or comprehended the post they're replying to. Reading someones post is crucial if you're going to post a po-faced or offensive reply if you don't want to make yourself look silly. You failed on this here:

Clearly I was talking about the time spent after aligning, which is highly variable. Sometimes once aligned ships warp off almost instantly, other times the exact same ship spends 10 seconds flying ahead dead straight after its aligned, before it decides to warp off, i'm sure everyone else knows what i'm talking about here, its very annoying. This has nothing to do with making ships easier to warp off or escape in, just actually work properly like they do (some) of the time.
In response to the other guy, the approach button does do that, but it doesn't power down the engines at all, you fly until you crash into it and quite often shoot past. "Approach" should be relabeled "fly until you collide with". The amount of times i've hit "approach" on a cargo container miles away and gone afk then come back and i've drifted off a long way once getting there.

to the OP -> you suck.
go play another game if you find EVE so loathful. IT is the way the game works, and yes it involves timesinks. EVERY GAME SINCE PONG INVOLVES TIME SINKS YOU BLOODY IDIOT!
if you could press the WTFwinpwn button from the start menu, there wouldn't be a damn point, now would there?
I'm getting sick and tired of these self righteous posts. gwtfp and go play 'my little pony'. you can dress em up in all outfits from the get go, no time sinks involved.
and please don't try to pull off some lame attempt to tell us you were just kidding. Your post reeks of vile disdain for a damn good game.
in short,
can I have your stuff?
