For example. I refuse help from people on things that I can do myself.
I don't want friends giving me isk. - I have to learn how to make enough to support my habits. Someone bailing me out isn't going to help me learn to be more efficient.
I also like to do my own research on good builds vs bad build and WHY they are that way. - Just copying like a robot from battleclinic isn't going to help me learn how to fit ships better.
Those two aren't so bad, they make sense right?
I refuse to use evemon. Nothing wrong with it, I just feel it is good for planning alts. I plan my character around certificates.

I almost never fly anything bigger than a cruiser, and seldom fly cruisers at that. I have 25m SP.

That just means you're doing the missions slowly.
The reason I'm doing it is a simple classic case of sunk-cost fallacy: I have this large selection of perfect rig BPOs, and it just seems wasteful to leave material behind on the field and not put those blueprints to use, never mind that I would make more ISK if I skipped those steps.

I have 50 million sp and fly destroyers only. I also use t1 salvagers to salvage the frigs I kill. (use t1 for sentimental value). I also mine omber only.
Threads like this generally result in anything positive.

I become obsessed with reading EVE forums at the same time as I play, as the primary form of entertainment.
And whether I am playing or not I am spending probably more time enjoying reading the forums than playing. Not so much a commentary that EGD is more entertaining than EVE gameplay. . . just that EGD is more entertaining than ANY other game lol:)

This. Point of fact, i can't even boot the client with my current system. Borrowed it from my brother till I rebuild, and it doesn't even have discrete graphics; so that's perfectly understandable. AMD Sempron 3600+ *snort* |

This times a million. Though it's taken years, I finally kicked the habit.
Mine:
I do PI in lowsec but I often let it go days unattended.
I never build a long term skill plan and remap accordingly.
I could go on but my pride isn't letting me.

I spend far too much of my Eve time moving my chat window to the lower left corner of my screen.
I do my PI religiously every morning on 3 toons.
Sometimes I realize I've been D-scanning every 5 seconds for the last half hour.
I spend far too much 'in space' time AFK whilst preparing snacks. |

Its not about money per mission, but money over time.
If your looting and salvaging you are spending much more time per mission then someone who isn't. Then you still have to sort, refine, move, and sell those items. During that time your missing out on the bounties and LP you could have earned instead.
You'll make more if you only loot/salvage when its worthwhile. Which for most missions means one can, or none at all.

Reading the EVE fourms is the only thing I do that isn't necessarily optimal. I could be doing plenty of other optimal things but instead here I am. Don't get me started on all the unoptimal(?) posts that I make. I don't get much back from all the typing I do. Sometimes I think that my keystrokes could be better spent somewhere else.

I can flip occasionally and if someone bites i normally just lecture them if they are a noob and what would happen if an evil person could them like this. Then i let them go.
This is shameful in so many ways. Who the **** do i think i am.
This is not optimal
Caught another noob in lowsec. Same lecture shite. let him go and we ran a few anomolies together
Im doing it wrong and my optimal is non existant

To expand on this a bit; if you're only going to do one or two missions and call it a night then salvage away, it's worthwhile. However, if you're looking to get a bunch of them done then yea salvaging is no longer "optimal".

I no longer use invention calculator/ spreadsheets. I just build that stuff and let it hit the markets for about slightly below the average sell price. I might be losing money, but just do not care anymore.

The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |
