trading ? staying on-line for hours playing the 1sk market battles

missions? -yawn

incursions? - nerf'd strong community destroyed

mining? - nearly fell asleep typing it

F/W? - so much fun orbiting a button for 20mins

null anomyals - boring, afk 24/7 cloakers ruin it for peeps who just have quick hour spare

ded sites - boring

invention - rubbish

manufacture? - yawn after 2 months

w/h? sucking up gas and mining and endless endless scanning, yawn

So why dont CCP make eve more interesting and fun to play via making isk

Cause making isk in EVE is BORING

Its all about doing what you find fun, if you don't find EVE fun, stop playing.
If you find something you enjoy, do it.

I make most of my ISK from exploration. I sell bookmarks for plexes/radar sites, unoccupied WHs, and get compensated for finding routes to high-sec. Not the most exciting thing to do, but beats ratting in my book.

I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe...

LOL, 5 is funny, you blame AFK cloakers. Might be EVE is not the game for you.

I'm a nerd, you can check my stats!! Skilling Int/Mem at 45 sp per minute is how I mack!     I'm like a lapdog, all bark no bite.

what sets EVE apart from other MMOs are all the interesting ways of earning ISK that you did not include in your list.

provide a valuable service to other players and charge for it (or just take their money and run) - not easy, not grindy, never boring.

Seems like you wanna make isk without actually doing anything. Maybe EVE isnt for you.
