EVE General Discussion

Open up a brothel in Jita.

if i remember correctly i've got 5 million ISK when i joined my first player-owned corporation. Then they took me into lvl4 to show what is it (that was really amazing) and allowed to keep all loot from that site to myself. It was fortune: i've got like 20 million ISK!

Then i continued to run missions and .... Now i'm here with billions of ISK in wallet.

However i didn't participate in PvP for like 1st year of playing. Maybe this is the reason i made good starting capital to go to 0.0 and make billions?

PvP pays good if you win enough. PvP in eve these days is blob or gank. So fit a cat go to Jita and ruin some noobs day. Crime pays in eve.

You just have to pick something and stick with it. Doing a little bit of everything will just make you less effective at everything you do. (until you have more SP than you know what to do with)

If you don't want to grind up standings or do production exploration is a pretty good choice. It doesn't take much time to train for, its safe, easy, and cheap.

Scan down wh's from hisec, go in and bookmark anomalies and come back in cruiser, bc ,t 3 or battleship if wh allows of your choice and go in and shoot them sites clean and salvage n loot the sleepers.
Go to jita setup sell orders and profit?

I think the issue with EVE is that pretty much 99% of the ways to earn isk are just plain soul destroying but tbh if you;ve only ever made 100mil then you are doing something wrong. Christ just doing forsaken hubs in 0.0 you can make 90-100mil an hour solo and that doesn't even include escalations.

Run lvl 4's they are good for 50-75 mil an hour probably more (haven't run any for years but I imagine they are still around this mark)
Join a 0.0 corp do your service and rat in the anoms and make even more.
Run one of the pirate faction epic arcs I think at the end of the Guristas one it gives you a ship bpc worth 175 mil or something.

Market trade I did a simple experiment and started with 25mil in Jita and at the end of the month I had 2 bill just buying low selling high on pokey items and even this I wasn't even trying to hard. Look in contracts sometimes you can snag a bargain. I think I bought a shirt for 200mill of a contract and a year later it's worth 1.2bil earning value just sitting in my hangar.

As I said plenty of way to make isk but unfortunately most of them are as pleasant as pulling your fingernails out.

Well that's the ******* thing, I've spent more time grinding for rep then i have making money, i lost most of the sec status I've ever made in 5 minutes, i usually just come back once a year to see how the latest expansion is going and what all the current drama is.

Considering the average amount of my wallet is usually less than 20m ISK and i still don't have high enough reputation with any agent after days of grinding i don't really know why the **** I'm actually sticking around.

Play battlefield 4 , instant guns, instant fights

Sorry OP but your responses make this a whine thread ... not really worth any more input.

No, I grind for hours and hour, days and days, check my ****, oh look, ******* nothing, burn the **** out and give up, come back six months later and give it another try, you're just not getting it they said, it's fun once you get on your feet and figure out what your doing and I come crawling the **** back.

Maye I should just go back to WoW, I hear there are pandas and its becoming more like the vanilla, at least in WoW, I don't spend all ******* week grinding for a 0.01 rep increase
