if you''ve been playin eve any length of time I'm curious as to how many are getting sick of eve. Not just bored one night but a continual bordom with the game.
I've pvp'ed, mined, ran agent missions, sold items, made items, researched and explored. My charactor has almost 10 mil skill points at this point in the game, so obviously I'm some what experianced.
I want to love the game but lately Im getting bored off my arse.
Im sure I''ll keep my account active atleast this one the other thou I am canceling.
So old timers give me your thoughts on what your doing to stay interisted in the game.
excuse my improper spelling and grammer

Well, I do feel that EVE is still in beta, so I'm not really 'playing' it. I feel that someday, mabye a year from now EVE will be a balanced, playable game. I AM however, training skills in the meantime.

I'm bored. All my dreams of blockading trade routes and tolling indys as they haul goods between systems has been stripped away. As there's nothing else I really want to do in the game, I may be taking a break soon.

Life was so much more fun when it was possible to roleplay pirating properly.
Im getting bored of eve cause i cant play it as much as i used to....when i started I could play all day long (and nearly all night too) but now, during the week I can barely get 10hrs of play which sucks for me. Thats the reason I want my ss back, as I can do fun stuff in empire in a short time, but 0.0 takes a lot longer to get fun organised as we are left to our own devices.
I did have loads of fun in Aurohunen blasting people going to Korama, Isuppose if they do not fix ss soon, I might as well go back to that.
All im doing now is traing all those damm long skills and waiting for something to happen, I dont know what I want to happen, but I still want it really badly

Insert some actual roleplaying, not some fairy Shakespeare but acting like you would if you'd been your character and seek out a corporation that encourage this. All this smacktalk and whimsical PvP without any real effort on diplomacy, negotiations what have you is what bores me.
Peoples lack of gradual response, like if some old lady cut in front of you you'd beat her down on the spot and jump on her head before realizing it was an old lady cutting in on the sidewalk due to poor vision and/or a feeling of having earned a right of way and not a shark beaching itself and taking the train to where you live to assault you, 'cause that instinct is set on dun-dun-dun-dun-dun sharkmode!
That's not CCPs fault, that's not due to some mechanism, that's players under the impression that they need to jump everyone they can or they'll never get to kill anyone and as such blow everything up to ELE proportions.
Sure now everyone will chuckle and say well I'm this demented serial killer, interesting, you and 30% of the other pilots, real creative...
Still waiting for my sleeping and disgusted smiley. If he can be both at the same time it'd be super.
Also changing corporations is too easy, people tend to go for the greener grass on a weekly basis not 'cause they need grass, it's just green, this grass is lime, that's so last week...
In short what bores me is people not taking the time and making an effort to create a character who has a past and a future and work in line with the script towards that, believability if you will.
Much like a Tarantino movie the outrageous psycho was funny the first few times, by the time of Dusk till Dawn they were just sleepinducing, predictable and disgusting.

For a while I was thinking of quitting due to boredom (I've been here since beta 6), but then I started rp'ing more.
I'd say close to 70% of my time is now spent sitting in station chatting with people 
I ilso found that taking a few days off from eve helps the addiction grow a bit more, and you come back with a vengeance.

Yeah, I've cancelled my account for the second time. Last time I got bored out of my skull so I came back, this time I have a Crono Trigger ROM and my copy of Final Fantasy III/VI to keep me company. Unfortunately the game has been moving more and more towards combat as the central focus(read only focus). I'm just not up to the amount of micromanagment required to just fight NPC's, much less PvP. I guess I'll go sacrifice a calf to the alter of Blizzard in the hopes that they might bless me with a WoW beta account.

ya ive gotten a bit bored with this game. but my account is still going, ive got about 11mil sp now. at about the time my first corp died out and merged with another, i lost interest and then another MMO came along, and ive been playing that since. ill come back to EVE someday and play it for more than just an hour every 2 weeks or so. but until then, my char is pretty much hibernating.

Then again we all get bored with any game sooner or later. I bought this game when it hit the stores and a few months after that I got bored and quit the game (kept the account though). A few weeks later I was back. I guess we all have low points when we hardly play or don't play at all. But as long as CCP is steadily improving the game I'll keep getting back.

Thats the same thing I do.
Log on once a day, train skills, do some r/d missions, log off and go program my own damn game (well, kinda).

That is exactly my feeling as well.
I started playing te game in a way that I knew was not going to be the most profitable. But I went on taking misions,flying somewhere just to have a look around. I just wanted to play this "Han Solo" type freelancer/smugler/adveturer. I had no doubt that people would take my cargo/money or even my ship. I might even get killed. But that's the adventure. As it went, I flew to a gate and my ship got blown up and my pod for no reason whatsoever no comunication. Just another player with more firepower who was bored. That kind of spoiled the fun for me.Also because the worst thing in a soap is for dead people to come alive. I don't use cloning, once dead stay dead or else what's the use of death and why fear it? The worsed story telling has dead people come to live. It's a mistake that started at least 2000 years ago as far as I can tell. And it even did the lord of the rings no favour.
I sugested on this board that it might be agood idea to have another server. one for people who want to play the game to the hilt of the rules and kill all others. And one who were more interested in roleplaying where combat flows from the way the roles are played. I got some serious abuse, but I still think that's a good idea. From what I hear everquest had some succes with that concept.

I also always give myself a very tough goal to try and achieve as it gives me somthing to aim for everytime im online.

i mean now its more like people just start wars and just plain and simple kill what they can.. interesting contet nooo.. it was interesting in the begining now people just say hey im bored i dont need to have any content oriented thing to even state a reason for my war.. im just gonna blow you corp up.
in the begining when alliances started to form it was more interesting. now its just sad.
why dont we just say hey where al at war with each other now we can go out in 0.0 and blow each other up.
thats eve content for ya 
qouting my self but thats whats making me bored..
even jericho is starting to be like everyone els.. i never saw that day comming.. generaly this is turning out into a fps with ships and ehh skill training

I predict I'll leave as soon as I get my hands on WoW.
EVE seriously lacks content. Planets don't even have names and populations, they are [system] VII - (ice) a.s.o.
Even so EVE have some quality that I like, that's why I'm back after a leave of 8 months. And to my surprice nothing much have actually changed in that time.
A real questing system would change a lot. I.e. 500-1000 individual uniqe quests, not just fetch [X] and leave it at [X].

I've played EVE since may last year and have had my up's and downs. I've never been bored with the game but I do find I have to take time away every now and again to keep it interesting.
More than anything I hate the waiting, I know developemtns take time and I'm not expecting then to rush things. But I as a person just hate to wait. Eve really needs a constant supply of changes to keep the universe alive and kicking.
I for one would volunter some of my time to take the part of a NPC character and role play for a while. Some of the stories and news articles posted sound cool but would be eve en better if theywere in the game too.
