CCP needs to nerf wife aggro.

You know, those times when you are deep into a fleet op, industry spread sheets, or taking a well-deserved snooze while AFK mining, and the wife pops into your Manputer Cave to annoy you with idle chat, questions about the day at work, or to complain about chores you haven't done.

CCP - skillbook for Wife Aggro please with quick training to Level 5 please for maximum effect. Next upgrade soonest.

You need to train Metagaming to V.

Unfortunately, CCP doesn't seed that skillbook.

Just train a level in Divorce, like I did a few years ago, and Wife Aggro goes away.

The only problem with this is that she'll often take the car and the house with her ....

Generally threads like this are more productive if OP suggests a few ideas on where and how things in questions should be nerfed...

No they don't. If they would, they would cut into their own profits 15-20 years from now. I mean, no wife agro is less future EvE players born.
Who would raise the next generation of EvE players if EvE players do not want to do so themselves? Shocked

In 15-20 years, genetic engineering will be in place. EVE men will request clones be engineered to play EVE. No wife aggro. PROFIT.

The trick is invest

During the day, invest in doing the dishes, tasks, prep the kids early for bed, start with bedtime stories right atfhrr dinner. Give your wife her favourite tb show, make her some tea, . Dont tell her you love her, cause she s start to suspect ... As thats way out the regurlar.

I run fixed times, 20.00 eve time till 2300 , wife hapoy, kids happy, and stil la good husband and father

If that all fails: honey me playing eve is the best thing ever happening, i dont drink anymore, i dont look at other woman, i am home, and we save butt loads of money.. Btw... Fanfest... U always wanted to visit iceland rigt.....

Lol. When I get the look (and I probably deserved it), I sign in to the Netflix account, the Kindle purchase history, start making a few comparisons, subtracting time at work, time on lawn, time at the gym. Then I started making a long Amazon purchase list for a new scope for my rifle, new gear and sleep bag, some golfing stuff, a motorcycle helmet... I've only ever had to do this once and it was a bad move, even if it was a trump card. Eve most definitely saves me money, but that being said I try not to be an ass to set myself up to lose what I'm trying to save for.

Moderation, my friend. Keep the long sessions on ur days off.

My ex wife did not like me on EVE, even though I don't smoke, gamble or drink too much.
So I recommend training divorce level 5. Yes she got the house, but I got investment property and the kids.

No I am in the process of training girl friend level 5 which has prereq of this is me level 3.
She has no issues with me playing EVE - awesome and even encourages me to have a beer while I do.

If she wants my attention, she grabs it - really she does.

Exactly what I do. 100% success rate. Dont forget the compliments! And yes, Iceland needs more prep work. So I'll be going to Fanfest next year. Twisted

Nothing like "come i need to talk about something" and you are in the middle of siege or one of the few logistics keeping fleet alive.
On the others side , TIDI put some interesting possibilities.
When you are in the battleship, you can do shopping AND take your dog to walk , while the guns cycle.

Can we get skill.

Funny, was in a fleet last night and we were talking about this same subject.. We were talking about how all of us married men had Wife AGro trained to 5 and even Advanced Wife AG to 4. This should suffice, we thought. One guy piped up and said, "If you're still having wife ag problems you should train jewly gifting to 5". I told him that I got podded out of that years ago..




Here is to all our wifes that put up with our love affair with the most jealous woman of all, E V E.


May they put up for us for many years to come! o7



Love you Becky.

The best way to avoid wife aggro is to make sure you spend your share of time tending to the light drones, and spring for the faction and deadspace stuff come birthday and anniversary time.
