Before Crius a lot of things around Industry. In LS, loosing some POSes - It's a part of the game, and next in HS.

After making crying us a lot without listening, I'll stop all activities till the end of the game time of all my chars.

Eve was very addictive and I'm sad of what's coming soon.

Bye bye, pretty. The loss will be influencing to all of us,
including all the influence your other chars had no one ever heard about or noticed.

I am sure your absence will hurt the meta of New Eden significantly!

What motivates me....



The neural pathways conditioned for effective operations in this game will repeat through necessary neural pathways in RL conditions requiring a comparable level of forethought, strategy, and risk assessment thereby increasing my tactical short term reaction in the OODA loop (and expectations of loop breakdown or "compression" resulting from stress, known as PVP) and strategic (long term) considerations for important RL decisions (logistics, etc.)


Hope that was simple.

Bring back DEEEEP Space!

If it is fun that motivates you to play EVE Online, what is fun?
(What do you define as fun, and what do you describe as the fun activity in EVE Online?)

What motivates the fun, and what fun motivates you?


If other reasons or motivation than fun, please state what is the motivation .


Other motivation or uses (practical use) maybe use for work or learning.

To practice ideas or other life skills...

Memory skills, other skills.
Socialize, Friends?
Business, IT, Arts, Music, Writing.
Science, Astronomy related, Aeronautics, Robotics.
Design, analysis, architecture.

Talking is a need but listening is an Art.

I'm playing for more than seven years without any interruption: if I have few posts, it does'nt seems to be the same for this Char.

Taken it from it comes,
U're Welcome.

This is the reason right here.

You can't stop training now!

This.

The skill queue is diabolical. It makes me create alts, it will force me to make a 2nd account and add alts to that...it's pure evil I tell you.

I got into Eve because I had heard of its legendary learning curve and thought that only the best and smartest could outperform the masses by enough to earn the isk necessary to pay for playing with plexes, and I wanted to see how well I could do.

I've since learned that all it takes to be moderately successful isk-wise is some patience with the training queue and the willingness to spam clicks on one thing or the other.

Now I play because it's something mindless I can do to decompress after work, and because there's a lot of variety in the way I can spam buttons for isk, but mostly because space is really pretty (even if I am just looking at the f10 screen 90% of the time).

Assume and use your real Char, like me and without changing the original message content, providing solutions: this exchange will be constructive!

No other post of your hand, without credible argument.
Would be appreciated.
U're welcome.

It being a space game and being able, in theory, to find some far off place to play without interacting with anyone trying to kill you.

How about trying something else instead of quitting? You might like it. Also, things change...look at how exploration changed...

To put it bluntly, exploration as it is now-a-days sucks.

Now I do skill training online but before the best thing in eve was hunting down targets and kill/steal their ship if they ejected to save the pod. Also produced much entertaining rage.
