*curses*
Just a sec...need to put the post up too...
So, gonna start playing WoW. *puts on more flamegear*
This is not a troll post.
Not a "ccp sucks" post.
Not a whine post.
This is a simple fact of life post that will probably first be met by many many flames, before realising i have a point in all this.
The reason why is simple, WoW is fun, it's a pasttime, it's a hobby. EVE is not, so much fun. It's fun, it's great, it's stupendously magnificent! But WoW has that, game like fun on a MMO.
Now why is this a GOOD thing to EVE? Here's the reason and one that should maybe be considered by others aswell.
When i JUST play EVE, i get bored of it at times, and when you get bored of EVE, it's dangerous. You go on months of vacations at times. You jsut can't bare to look at another ship/mission/roid again for ages.
But when you play another MMO(and WoW is a good MMO, considering the alternatives), you don't get bored so easily and can allocate, again, more time into EVE aswell.
So the point of post?
Well, nothing much really, just that people shouldn't bash other MMOs that much, all the time, and be so "singular"(hihi) in their views. Expand, find a "hobby" game out of your "work" EVE gaming an you just might find EVE mroe enjoyable too 
*puts shields to maximum, resistance plates on f(h)ull and napalm resistant undies as suggested*
So yeah, i have a problem with being serious, but it's the almost smallest problem i have. |

I see your point. I know a great deal many Eve players who have other games going. It's not a sin to admit it although WoW does have a certain stigma about it.
I think the flames would begin if you said "I'm quitting Eve for WoW" - but I'm not sure that is what you're saying.
I don't think it's a p***ing contest between the two as they are gulfs apart, (my uninformed opinion by the way, never played WoW as Elves etc don't really interest me and I've heard it wears thin after a while).
For the record, I've played BF2142 as my "hobby game" - to use your terminology. Would be interesting to know what others play to any degree.
Won't leave Eve though, too much time invested in it for starters!

Well Sheriff, I play both EVE and WOW and I love them both, they are highly addictive andI do not get bored, my rl does suck a bit, but I work round it all. It's all down to personal choice and if you feel happy playing wow then go for it. I enjoy wow for its light hearted side, eve needs a lot of patience and dedication as it is a long term investment, I love eve for its markets and industry.

i think i get what you are saying
when you play one game the chances of getting a life and getting out of your chair - not necessarily in that order - are high
but when you play a new game or an old game you have not played in a long time whenever you arent completely absorbed in your current game the chances of getting a life are killed all while you notice all the downfalls of the other game and get bored of its benefits - bringing you back to eve
the end

Guild Wars is my 'time off from Eve' game of choice. Although I have just recently purchased Total War: Medieval II which may occupy me. If football wasn't so rubbish these days it would be the latest Football Manager release without a doubt.

I find that rotating my MMOs works for me. It stops me getting jaded. And reading the forums of other games makes me smile. Like the posts from the early beta players lamenting how much the game sucks now (about a game that is still in beta). And every forum has posts saying that the devs are the best ever with great communication. And every forum has posts saying the devs suk and never listen to the playerbase.
Currently I'm playing Dungeon Runners, Eve and Tabula Rasa.

Eve is a slow game. It rarely grants instant gratification, and as such is not suited for all needs:)
Other MMOs aim for other goals.
I think I'm gonna try the conan MMO when it comes out and the Warhammer MMO.
Both seem quite promising.

have fun 
I can honestly say that I enjoyed WoW when I used to play. but I didnt find the end game mega grind and long dungeon crawls enjoyable, nor did I really have the time.
I liked the world, I enjoyed exploring etc...
I think the main reason WoW gets so many haters is because the playerbase is generally younger and less mature, so you get the l33t sprouting uber competitive kiddies, who are annoying as hell  . but this is easily avoided if you join a RPPVP server, (but dont actually RP apart from out of courtesy to those who do) as the people are generally a bit kinder and less annoying there.

Wow(no pun), it didn't blow up
Yes, no, i'm not quitting(i'll be sending that one guy 10 isk for his trouble of asking for it though) and the point got across exactly as i thought. With some nice variants and a two layer effect.
Nice to see this place can behave...but why is it only in my threads? 
So yeah, i have a problem with being serious, but it's the almost smallest problem i have. |

Ive played wow before. After a while I just got tired of the constant grind of killing things to get gold and xp. It took up a lot of my time, which I didnt have when college starts. Eve on the other hand is a game that I can train skills and get something accomplished when im busy. Both games has its benefits. The pve side of wow is a little better. (not doing the same missions over and over). but frankly, the pvp in wow sucks. Its not much different than pve. When you kill someone you know they arnt really loseing anything, but in eve, when you kill someone, you know they feel the pain Eve lets me release some frustration on other people :). But this is my own personal opinion and if you want to play wow instead of eve, more power to you. I'll stick with eve.

TBH I dont know if that holds true anymore considering the state of the CAOD board, honestly its like kindergarden in there 90% of the time.
I play wow as well as eve and tbh there was a time i felt eve had a more mature player base and that wow was full of l33t speaking people but times have changed

I'm just curious to know why you would set yourself up for such an obvious flame.
Other than you being desperate for attention of course.

Well computer games are a hobby and you do what entertains you personally, EVE is the only MMO I play because the others dont interest me but I will definitely try warhammer online and I play RTS games currently as well as EVE.

Because wow brings the point across more then saying "I'm gonna play battlefield for my off-eve time." Also it's the game i'm going to play so
If i was desperate for attention, i'd do something really silly ingame.
So yeah, i have a problem with being serious, but it's the almost smallest problem i have. |

After being coaxed by my friends I reactivated my WoW account last night. Moved 4 characters to the new server they are playing on (100$ US)
Loaded my first char in Shathrah city. I would say that it took about 20 seconds before I realized what a mistake that was.
They asked me "What do you want to do?". I really did not want to do anything, nada, ziltch.
The game is so devoid of anything interesting. The only redeaming factor for me is playing with my friends. But even that is not enough.

Over 3 and a half years i've chalked up the odd break from EVE myself. Everytime I get the urge to go hunting some ****** down in real life and introduce them to the concept of agonising pain, I take a deep breath, set a long skill and take a month long reality break.
I never get bored of EVE, just crimson fanged furious with some of the "people" who play it.
I always end up back in the game though.
Go play WOW or whatever for a bit mate. No stigma |

That's true, you don't get bored of it as such, but you do need a break before you burn out. Kinda like, hunting people in lowsec all the time and just needing a bit of missioning to break the grind.
I'm not leaving EVE, oh no, i'm playing full on still. Just need another game too, and was a good way of bringing a point towards and perhaps spark a conversation(as it proved to do).
So yeah, i have a problem with being serious, but it's the almost smallest problem i have. |

Different games. WoW is perfect for a few hours of mindless arcade action. I dont see anything wrong with it really. You will play it for a while, then get bored of that, and maybe come back to Eve for a while again.
Its the cycle that comes from wanting everything in one game, but being unable to find it. :)
