Going days without 1 good fight. Zero incentive to PvP except for the sake of it because you can make more isk sitting in Jita making buy/sell orders. Typically, finding fights was easy enough if you wanted to run into a gate camp or any other situation you had 0 chance of surviving but everyone knew about every potential fight you could have that no one ever engaged in because of local chat and scouts. This just led to flying around never actually engaging anyone.
Just wondering if the state of PvP has changed at all? Could I casually play maybe a couple hours a night and find a good fight? Possibly even a rewarding fight? One where I'm stealing someone's loot, cargo, or something that made it worthwhile other then potentially the satisfaction of destroying someone's insured ship?
Because if there's no good PvP then all EVE will turn into is a isk/per/hour spreadsheet micro-management game.
What's it like these days with all the additions?
I left for the exact reason as did my friends. Years later i'm the only one that came back. Pretty much still the same. Wormholes seem to be the best source to finding something, it's not gonna be even, your going to decloak and gank the hell out of something. The days of Battle Cruiser brawls back then were awesome! Fights lasted a while. Anymore its frigates, 10-20sec later its over, hours of looking for that. Coming back I didn't expect much, I tried Faction war, but learned Blues shoot blues within a few hours of joining. Figured why join FW when I can be neut to everyone and fly anywhere I want without standing punishment?
I adapted and decided to try the indy side of things, so far it's been keeping me entertained. When I need a break I cruise some WH's, once in a great while I find something. Blob content is always there, but you don't have to tell me it's not the same thing. There is a market for this style of play but with games with a older average age bracket ego gets in the way of good content and prevents it. I'd dabble in a couple things and see if it interests you. I found quite a few replacement things that keeps me entertained, certainly not to the level of the solo PVP back in the day but worth subbing for.
