this is not a troll post, i really think i got it. I get way too angry of internet spaceships being blown up etc etc. the point is that i am not having fun anymore like i used to. I use to love blowing stuff up and being blown up. is there a way to get myself out of this bittervetness or am i just stuck with it? Please help.

Try taking a month or two off. Go play some popular theme-park mmo, realize how immature everyone is and how shallow the economy is. You've got to take a break every now and then.

If you still get angry at things like internetpixels getting blown up, you're actually quite far from being a bitter vet...

Large Collidable Object, please explain, perhaps my definition of bittervet is incorrect, because as i understood getting irate and irational over pixels getting blown up by people new to the game in comparison to someone older in the game was a bittervet, i could be wrong though, i have been many times before.

so does my long overdue admission of being wrong mean i am not a bittervet anymore and i just suck at this game?

Bittervets are bitter cause nothing matters and they are too good at the game and theres nothing left for them to do..
That is if you ask them.

Therefore:
Bittervets dont get mad at losing virtual money by having their pixels blown up, they are too good and too rich to care, which in turns make them bitter cause then what is the point of playing.

THAT is a bittervet.

I wish I was a bittervet...

Why not start a brand new toon...avoid the experiences you have already had...then when you get bored with that, go back to blowing stuff up?

Hope you figure it out...I understand the feeling, got that way wit BF series for me...

As the first response said. Play another MMO. Realize while this community may be cruel and psychotic, its slightly more... intelligent, or at least they have a better memory. And as you end up gathering more neon glowy uber gear. You realize everyone else is uber neon glowy and everyone is the same and its all segmented into little groups.
Yet here.

Agreed, apathy comes after anger...

Confirming this works. Temporarily, anyway, as after a month or two back in eve it's the usual. If you've been around as long as me, it's best to time it for a big patch since, I at least, have done practically everything.

But then how do you accumulate the sp required to excel at a variety of roles in this game?

All you need to do is pour yourself a tall glass of rum (or drink straight from the bottle) and continue business as usual. I assure you will care not a single bit about losing money.

The best cure I have seen is the moving back to small gang and highspeed roams. Do the wolfpack hunting of large alliance pilots who stray from the herd. I have a friend who was getting bittervet, and went to the no sov, no etc and did focused and challenging pvp style.

To quote Lfod Shi

The ratting itself is PvE. Getting away with it is PvP.

I have had sessions with pilots having problems retaining interest in what they are doing. My service is fairly new to the community but I do offer help. You can find out more on my services in sell orders under the "space therapy service" heading.

All of my sessions are private..I did ask permission to post a session..(because it was requested) with a pilot that wished to remain anonymous..so I deleted his name and posted the session in the sell order's advertisement I have been maintaining.

You can eve mail me with questions if you are interested in using my service or private convo me if I am online and available.

See my bio for rates and services.
