Menanar	Posted - 2008.06.12 21:18:00 - [1] Just wondering. Really, what is the point? You never have to leave high sec to max out your skills or get isk. I've read that high sec ores are more valuable than low sec ores. I have only been playing for a couple of months, and will continue for a few more just to see if it ever gets fun.
Dianeces The Illuminati. Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2008.06.12 21:19:00 - [2] I subscribe to Eve so I can troll people on the forums. (True story.)
Tippia School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2008.06.12 21:21:00 - [3] To save money. Also true story.
Zinras	Posted - 2008.06.12 21:21:00 - [4] I play it because it's fun?
Malena Panic Veto. Veto Corp	Posted - 2008.06.12 21:25:00 - [5] I play Eve because I'm 12. Also, I'm compensating for something.
Xparky Federal Navy Academy	Posted - 2008.06.12 21:30:00 - [6] Eve is what you make of it. The points you mentioned are kind of "single player" sided - train skills, get isk. If you play eve online on single player mode then you won't have much fun. It's a MMORPG, people play it for its multiplayer/social aspects. Corporations with clear goals give people a sense of purpose, direction and drive. Forming fleets with your corpmates to hunt down and kill your enemies is fun ! The more you interact with the other players the more you will like the game. Judging by your post, it seems you have no goals set. Eve isn't like other MMOs that tell you what do. Set goals! Say "I will dominate the T2 market in this region" and do it, or "I will max out the efficiency of the corp department I run" and do it, or "I will become a great fleet commander with good knowledge of fleet strategy and tactics" and do it! Skills and ISK are just the tools for you to reach your goals. No goals, no fun, no point to play. Eve is what you make of it. .
Pan Crastus	Posted - 2008.06.12 21:31:00 - [7] I don't play, I just read this forum ... EVE Online: a cold, cruel world where (RL-)rich people replace their losses with GTCs sold to poor students who need to farm ISK to afford their play time ...
Chainsaw Plankton IDLE GUNS IDLE EMPIRE	Posted - 2008.06.12 21:32:00 - [8] Originally by: Malena Panic I play Eve because I'm 12. Also, I'm compensating for something. pirate scum!

Spider Silva	Posted - 2008.06.12 21:39:00 - [11] i play this game since january 2004, it is the finest game ever made and i salute ccp.
Mattikus Di-Tron Heavy Industries Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2008.06.12 21:42:00 - [12] I love science fiction and the MMO idea...yet there are no MMO's (other than EVE) that are sci-fi so that is why I play EVE. Not to mention I think its a God damn great game.

It's fun when you make it. You don't need SP to leave high sec. Sitting in high sec picking your nose won't be fun. The game won't play itself for you, go do something. -------------------------------- We're no strangers to love. You know the rules, and so do I. --------------------------------
Menanar	Posted - 2008.06.12 21:50:00 - [14] I can set goals in real life. I do not need a game to do that.

Xparky Federal Navy Academy	Posted - 2008.06.12 21:56:00 - [18] not so obvious troll gets more obvious by each post
Feilamya Pelennor Swarm Souls of Vengeance	Posted - 2008.06.12 22:01:00 - [19] I don't have a TV, and many players I know don't have a life. Go figure.
Menanar	Posted - 2008.06.12 22:07:00 - [20] Edited by: Menanar on 12/06/2008 22:08:27 Originally by: Xparky not so obvious troll gets more obvious by each post Really, I do not understand why ccp does not make 0.0 space ores worth way more than high sec ores. Or why they don't make it so there are unique items only in 0.0 space, like special skills or ships.
Micheal Dietrich Terradyne Networks	Posted - 2008.06.12 22:08:00 - [21] Wait a tick, theres nothing about FW in this thread!
Chuck Skull Layer Cake	Posted - 2008.06.12 22:08:00 - [22] Because making things dead makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. --- Also available in 'sober'
Lunatic Shakhid	Posted - 2008.06.12 22:09:00 - [23] I'm a macro miner. I don't play. I sell ISK for real money!!!11111lulz

Believe it or not, this is why I'm still subbed. Can't remember the last time I actually logged in. --- Kaboom: The process by which large objects are broken down into many small objects. Originally by: Alz Shado Chribba doesn't mine Veldspar -- the ore offers itself to him in tribute.

Menanar	Posted - 2008.06.12 22:11:00 - [26] Originally by: Micheal Dietrich Wait a tick, theres nothing about FW in this thread! Because FW is lame. Everyone is saying the missions are way too risky for the rewards. FW will die pretty soon since, just like everything in Eve Online, there is no real reason to do anything. Again, you can just sit in high sec space making more isk than you can in low sec and training up all your skills.
DeadRow Mercenary Forces	Posted - 2008.06.12 22:11:00 - [27] because it fun game with the people I play with, woulda quit back in '04 if it wasn't for them. <3 Quote: Iz in ur base, implanting ur dudes

Micheal Dietrich Terradyne Networks	Posted - 2008.06.12 22:21:00 - [29] Edited by: Micheal Dietrich on 12/06/2008 22:23:32 Originally by: Menanar Edited by: Menanar on 12/06/2008 22:19:07 Originally by: Micheal Dietrich you mean like carriers, moms, and titans? And the skills to fly them? No, I am talking about unique frigates, cruisers, bc's, etc. Now your trying to hard. EDIT: people would farm them in 0.0 and sell them in high sec at enormous prices. Ships would then be available in both sectors. Kinda like the hard to get ore. It's a smaller class ship so it can't be restricted to o.o only.
Malcanis We are Legend	Posted - 2008.06.12 22:22:00 - [30] Originally by: Menanar Just wondering. Really, what is the point? You never have to leave high sec to max out your skills or get isk. I've read that high sec ores are more valuable than low sec ores. I have only been playing for a couple of months, and will continue for a few more just to see if it ever gets fun. What, accumulating huge amounts of isk and veldspar isn't fun for you? I mean I suppose that you could leave hi-sec and join in the fighting, politicing, spying, recon, pirating, trading... ...but there's not as much ISK in that, so what's the point. After all, when you quit EvE the important thing is to have more ISk than anyone else, right? CONCORD provide consequences, not safety; only you can do that.
