EVE General Discussion

A very good question. I believe if one were to really get down the the root of the problem it's that everyone has great dreams in eve but something is in the way of that dream and it is, for whatever reason, currently unobtainable.
There is no getting bored in eve there is only "how do I get there from here?" and in the meantime one 'ship spins'.

Most people really aren't that intelligent and most certainly aren't that good at EVE, they will mask it by glorifying laziness and stupid stuff. It allows them to look cool while not actually having to do something because it would out them for being ****.

On top of that we have Generation Zero Accomplishment.

Im lazy I rarely go roam anymore. I just sit in fw plex and wait someone to come fight me. Long live caldari

Also players are getting old which means less play time so don't want to waste time on grinding that much anymore. Short cuts like buying plex is great choise for this kind of people

Seems pretty crazy to do something boring even once, let alone over and over.

Why would anyone do that instead of having fun in the game?

Oh I'm very sorry, would you feel better if I deleted my post?

Your completely right, and Stephen Hawking has got to be one of the laziest people in the world because he never leave his chair except when he is put into bed....oh wait he's disabled but can run circles around people mentally.

Just because someone may play a video game instead of going outside doesn't make them lazy....just the bulk of gamers are lazy and play games with instant gratification and all action rather then something that's going to take work.

Ill admit, I do play some action games, Ive played FPS types for the storylines, I have played things like halo or COD multiplayer and got extremely bored just killing people.

I find Sims, RTS and others to play that require thinking and planning. When I play RTS I just don't produce 1 unit and rush until everything is dead, I strategize using many unit types, I build cities that's just not Max population but well planned for a purpose.

I work on robots as the only tech with a group of engineers, go to school to work on planes and finish my 2nd degree, and when I come home I log on to EVE or some other challenging game for a few hours before going to bed.

while I don't become someone else ingame, because im strict in RL and ingame, I used to enjoy industry before ganking became so prevalent, now I run incursions which doesn't require a lot of mental effort my minimizes the time the time I need to work for a plex so I can do something else.

This is actually true and false. Yes every generation thinks they are better than the next. No, they are not always wrong. Every new generation isn't always superior to the last, nor is it automatically inferior.

This current generation has it's strengths and superiorities over the old, but they also have some issues that will limit them in the future, and the NEXT generation will react to their mistakes and successes and the (natural and technological) environment in unexpected ways too. And the current generation of people (who got trophys for everything) will think they are crap too.

whether they are right are not remains to be seen lol.

I held true then and does so today. We're going downhill and are accelerating fast!

I think that is a pretty white wash statement.

Eve is a game that is at it's best when you are playing it no-life style. I think it would be foolish for anyone to disagree with that.

As I have got older and my career has gotten bigger I am much less willing and simply do not have the time to play the game 24/7.

While I personally wouldn't want the hardcore nature of eve to change this is my opinion on the situation and the reason I play less / can't be bothered to do the same things I used to in game i.e. "Lazy"

Good Career > Game.

I very nearly didn't bother to get out of bed this morn to log in, pleased now that I did else I might of missed this thread.
