You got EvE totally wrong.

EvE's main currency is not ISK.
EvE's main currencies are time and trust.

So, switch over onto farming the correct currency and neither ISK nor "having nothing to do" will have any negative effect on you any more.


hot damnnnnnnn
easier said then done I'll say


Exactly. So now you know why you are bored while we are all busy cutting time to personal objectives and progressing in the end game (which in EvE is the meta-game).

Well, maybe this game is not for you. Maybe you should down-load one of those really grindy free2play games that reward little for major effort.

funny how whenever someone starts complaining about certain features of a game , EVERY TIME , no matter what genre , there ALWAYS will be someone who likes it up the butt suggesting you to shoo

Yeah, that's surprising, isn't it - the normal reaction should be to advise you to continue doing the stuff that you obviously don't like and complain about.

Posting in an, 'I do level 4 missions in a Velator armed with mining lasers and make 100 million isk an hour just by logging on, therefore, Eve is too easy/boring.'

Edit as I missed this bit - Oh, and I've only been playing Eve for an hour or so.

The beauty of the EVE skill system is that it lets you play the game rather than be concerned with character progression or grinding XP or the like. The game isn't rewarding you for not playing — it's simply not penalising you for not doing inane stuff (aka grinding).


What Tippia said.

If you're making enough isk to blow on a PLEX plus all the ships you can fly, then stop worrying about skill training and go out there and do... anything. If your goals are simply fly XXX ship, then find a new one. Branch out to other careers.

You're also saying that you're a complete newbie and you already have a BS and more money than you know what to do with. Did you get one of those buddy invites that sends you a few hundred mil. when you sub? Did your corp just throw ships/cash at you when you joined? If yes then you robbed yourself from one of the most rewarding aspects of EVE: starting small and making something of yourself, one step at a time.

I know it pains you to hear this, but what I said has nothing to do with Goonswarm. You are under the false impression everything revolves around your alliance or something and it does not. Straight

I'm going to take that to mean that, no, you can't afford a titan.

Why don't you train for a T3? Instead of whatever it is that you are at the moment. I presume you are doing something silly like aiming for a battleship after a few months.


I AM already in one , breezing through AEs and GEs lvl4s , but I just don't see the point for me to do so
:P
then again , "training" , which can be done by watching YouTube videos while belts stripping...
Is this a game , or is this a second job for rich companies executives brokering business deals with EVE online on their desktop background while ignoring their spouses and being emotionally dead???

Or you could just go spend your mountain of spare ISK on the character bazaar and buy a 'skilled up' toon.

But then you would just be another overskilled, insta-gratification null sec tool who doesn't know how to use the skills he has properly, then whine about eve being too hard.

Playing for isks in 0.0 makes no sense at all.
but new players who are too weak to play for "fun" will have no choice but sit back and "grind till they blind "



Then you are doing it wrong, A new pilot even two-three weeks wet can be useful in a fleet, yes your not going to instapop anything but scout,hero tackle and just turning up are always welcome in 0.0 fleets no matter what your SP.

SP gain is easily one of EVE's best features.

It lets us people with responsibilities have a game to play that doesn't include ridiculous time demands.



Wouldn't say it's an awesome great feature, it's different from many other games and keeps rewarding you when not playing (?)

And I'm sure some rewarding system by time spent playing wouldn't be that much different or worst, nor more tedious than everything you do in eve does.

-form fleet: 1h

-travel

-grind

-industry

-exploration

Absolutely everything you do in Eve is massive time consuming independently the time you can afford or the effort you put in game.
It's not better at all, it's just different.

Stop quoting Yahtzee.

Also, if you're so rich, yet so lacking in SP. The character bazaar is right next door. Want to fly a carrier, dread, mom, titan? Then go buy a carrier, dread, mom, or titan pilot with the billions of isk you claim to have in your wallet.
