EVE General Discussion

I think you've found the problem.

Contrary to what you might think from reading the forums, there is actually more stuff in the game than scanning down sites.

Mr Epeen

1. Learn to do a single scan to determine the types of signature in a single system, saves you wasting time probing each one down.

2. High-sec is always over populated. Don't waste your time there.

EVE being hard is a feature. Learn to love the feature and you will love the game.

grab a t3 or some nice covops cruiser, fit probe, and get in those lawless regions.

the notion of exploring in low/null sounds silly, but i made my pilgrim pay itself off in 2 hours (sure i was a bit lucky) not a single soul in the 5 systems i jumped around. There was a guy with a manti, but we called each other stealth bros

Seems like an honest question, so here's some honest feedback:

EvE is a ("the") long game. It's like the difference between the tactical situation of breaching a room vs. the operational situation of overthrowing a government without everyone getting to miffed about it. Sometimes for me EvE is camping at a gate for four hours and never seeing a soul. Sometimes it's grabbing a cheap destroyer for quick ninja salvaging fun in Tama. Still other times it's a week or two long voyage through wormholes looking for a quick, easy, and lucrative kill. What I'm trying to get across here is that you don't want to loose the forest for the trees. Some of the grind stuff in EvE goes too far, and is too much of a grind... in times like this you should have side-games going. Set up market orders. Haul stuff in between long treks and put that stuff on the market to make a little side-scratch. Go gatecamp in low or null... null is the best gate camping if you are new to the game... and the big secret is that if yu land a hauler... even a blockade runner, and get him decloaked 50km off gate, you can be in pretty much anything with a weapon and have a easy kill. When there's nothing to do it's a lot easier to see that the game is about players and not NPCs or NPC resources.

tl;dr; the reason so many bittervets are always complaining about new features (imho) is because they realized at some point the NPC features are usually stupid and boring, and if they wanted to get ahead in this crazy universe they would need to engage other players. I would say if you need 8th grade level content spoon fed to you find a game that has that. EvE doesn't. The NPC content is there to get you sped up on game mechanics. If all that there was of CCP was an offline EvE, I would say EvE was a pretty crappy game. Find out what other people are doing. Join the incursions channel and join a highsec incursion op. Get frisky and join a militia. Make loot for me to salvage in Tama. Get a few dudes together and go pillaging pirate style in WH space. Scan systems and try out that new hacking feature. Camp lowsec wormhole exists one jump from empire. There's so much to do.

If, however, you want to kill 200 Nerd-o Cows to gain a level in Crazy Combat Cowgirl III (C3) do that instead. There's so much **** to do in EvE I don't even know where to start on the occasions I can sit down and play...

Neither are game companies.

Carry on with your WoW haters campaign.

Combat them :)

No stealth to it, I'm pretty adamant about humans playing games, not automation software making games but bot sims.

Otherwise, just make EvE totally PvE, because that is what it'll become.
