EVE General Discussion

There's also more to the game than just second-job null and boring grindfest hisec.

My alliance has been chugging along for years, with no goals, highly casual, with a pretty broad scope of gameplay. At the core we are lowsec griefers, but we have industrialists, mission runners (haven't tried them since the nerf, tbh), and even get to Incursions if we are motivated.

More recently, howeer, now we are attempting to hunt bounties by allying in wars against groups with large bounties. Its far from any kind of CTA-thing, whoever is on we take, and if we lose, we lose, if people have to leave mid-roam, that's fine, life goes on.

I think you need to find a group that is more casual. EVE is really good at variety, you just need to find what matches and not just polarize yourself.

That's what I keep Civilization V installed for. EVE was never inteded for relaxation.

But good luck anyway.

Dude, I like got bingo with this post.

Anyway, how do you relax with 5 accounts?! And why don't you want to feel engaged by content, I mean you are playing a game.

There is nothing engaging about an AI. If I want engagement I get it from other players. Again, for the cheap seats, having no time for the real content leaves missions or mining, when those are annoying as hell it is time to go. One dedicated logi who is also my industrialist and three miners that I pull out from time to time when I feel like melting rocks is not a stretch, and it does not even take a lot of concentration if set up properly.

I am not unhappy with the game overall, if I had the time to put into it that I used to I doubt I would have even noticed the changes. Given my currently restricted activities and time in game, I did notice.

Honestly, would you pay money to be annoyed? Best to go at least for a while and let it all evolve a bit more.

Wish you all the best for 2013

"every other week"... that would almost be sad if it wasn't so funny.

No that is not fine. There is absolutely no reason why those people, or anyone else, should have his stuff over me. So **** you, **** the rest of you, and **** your mothers for having you.

I should have his stuff.

You are obviously neither a sadist nor a masochist, as such there is no place for you in Eve.

I think you are mixing things up. You stop playing EVE because you don't have time anymore. Fair enough. It happens to most people at some time. But you don't need to use minor changes in EVE as an excuse. Just be honest with yourself and you will feel better about it and we wouldn't have to read threads like this on the forums.

On another note, you seem to have a very limited view of how to play EVE leaving only mission and mining for the "cheap seats". If you bothered to look at other changes lately you would have noticed a lot more casual friendly content have been available for example in FW. And not too long ago we got a vastly improved scanning system buffing exploration in all of EVE. Threr are many more examples to this if you cared to look, for example, the rebalancing and buffing of frigs and cruisers to make them cheap and viable for PvP and easy to fund too (in particular within FW).

This is everything that needs to be said in this thread. Simple.
