seems like im just working to make isk, which can be lost justas fast as you got it.
doing fw gives lp and flips zones for t4 but for what? what purpose besides more LP?

ik someone who simply uses a few accounts to check markets on things (instead of those sites, idk why) and makes enough deals and works **** out in trading/marketing to make Lots of isk.
however, he only uses a very few ships.. its like hes working for maybe $.89 an hour USD.

wat am i missing here? ive killed those hubs after taking a system, so what? we took it...


is this why every1 left? /shrug

Don't play the game. Play the people that play the game. Only then will you understand the true nature of Eve.

The point of paying for the game is to play the game.

I do not like the men on this spaceship. They are uncouth and fail to appreciate my better qualities. I have something of value to contribute to this mission if only they would realize it. - Bill Frug

Some people prefer to not play the game but to play the hunter instead. Then there are people who play the game but are so bad at it they're more like playing the cattle.

3. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.

Thread locked. Regardless, I would recommend you take a tour of all of the EVE sub-forums to see if any of the activities discussed therein appeal to you. Failing that, I'd recommend you visit the EVE University's class library to see if there is some niche or part of the game you've missed or not tried.

It's not fair to equate your time spent playing a video game into time earning a living. Perhaps if you come at this game and community from a different perspective, you'll find the time spent enjoying it may be more ideal.
