What doesn't involve copious amounts of boredom?

Roaming lowsec in a nice frig.

For isk I run capital escalations in C5 space. Being the first carrier on field means you can't be bored, plus it doesn't take long with the right fleet and you have more money than you'll need for said roaming above.

CCP ignore me please, I make too much sense.

Get friends? And there's no reason something like a T1 cruiser has to represent a massive risk. If you pay attention to local and are diligent with your d-scan, it's still pretty easy to avoid most engagements in something cruiser sized. Your only real danger is going to come from gate camps - once you get one out into low, it shouldn't be too much of a risk. Stationless .1 systems are great places to pop clone soldiers - odds are you'll be the only person in the system.



All the low sec .2s and .1s are filled with pirates after the mordus ships. You go looking for a clone tag, and a T3 uncloaks and pops you. Tons o' fun.

If you say so. I haven't bumped into one yet, but I'm not expecting them to be particularly more dangerous than any other low sec NPC, which is to say, "Not very".



Go and find one, I suggest you go and look in Oyeman, there have been several BPCs that have come out of that system. Planet X belt 2 seems to be pretty hot. Watch out for the aforementioned campers though.

You really don't need to, but you do need to stop making excuses for why you can't do anything.


I don't think I am making excuses, but that is always the way I suppose. I just think I am struggling to find a reason to invest my time in a game that doesn't look to offer much other than lots of grinding and boredom.

I am also not saying that I can't do anything, but that the things I can do are about as fun as watching flies fornicate.

Sure I'll skill right into a carrier to make some ISK.

That's fascinating because I am currently sitting in a .1 right now and the only other person here is a 3 year old character with no killboard history. It is almost like you are making exaggerated claims about the risks of low sec in order to (ahem) excuse your inaction. Blink

I will restate my last post in clearer terms, since it seems to have gone ignored.

If none of the various forms of PVE farming appeals to you, why not try stealing, scamming, or piracy? These things are tons of fun, don't require much in the way of skills, and are generally as lucrative as only the highest levels of the PVE game.

Just saying because I remember the day when I wanted some isk, but couldn't bear to target another red cross or rock. I quit PVE cold turkey about two years ago and just eat what I kill, or steal. Best decision I ever made.

Yes, taking other people's **** is almost invariably satisfying AND lucrative.

Your problem is that you are playing by yourself. Eve mechanics aren't inherently fun (especially PVE). The enjoyable part comes from player interaction. Join a corporation, figure out how they operate and make money, and join them. Joining a corp doesn't preclude you from solo pvp, but it will open up a lot more options for money making, pewing, and enjoyment.

I didn't know all .1s are the same.

Maybe the one you were in and the ones I frequent have different populations and regulars.

Ding ding ding!

Now that you've had this stunning revelation, what steps could you potentially take to alter your situation to your benefit?

It was ignored because piracy holds no appeal to me in a game.

I play games as an avenue of escape from the real world, not to just extend my real life into them. I thought that was why piracy was so rampant in Eve. People pretending they are criminals because they never had the stones to do it in real life.

Unless you're actually a pirate IRL, I'm not really sure what your point is supposed to be. You seem to be seeking pewpew, piracy is pewpew, what is unappealing about that?

Fair enough. Sounds like you didn't come here for answers, you came here to complain. Feel free to contract me your assets before you unsub. Have a nice life.

Beating up a kid is not getting into a fight.

See the difference?

Of course not.

This was a complaint, and also some form of search for a touch of guidance.

I got the answers I sought. Thanks for your suggestions, it helped me see that this game isn't for me.

Not really sure why you think piracy == beating up a kid.

Most or all of your whining seems to revolve around a lot of misconceptions that you adamantly believe to be fact.

If all it took to upset your apple cart is a change to FW plexing mechanics then I don't really understand how you could have ever thought this was a game for you.

I think what OP needs is a supportive corp that can throw ISK and manpower at him for these sorts of things.

Cant out DPS the rats? Bring a friend to add DPS or have him logi you while you run DPS fit.

Help them as a low level role as part of some larger operation, such as being the salvager or scanner in a WH corp. You take a cut of the earnings for doing your part and then you use it to fund your stuff.

Depending on how active said corp is they might be able to make even more PVP happen than usual cause they always pick fights :P

You probably aren't aware that Lokis are a vital part of said escalation fleet. Just train up for one of those. Capitals come later. At least with the corps I've been in, they will pay the same for a Loki webber pilot as a triage carrier pilot

If OPs attitude in this thread is any indication, hes not the kind of person that people wants to be friends with.
