EVE General Discussion

Why is PVP boring










Thoughts please...










PS: This is not a troll

It was for many years. Any thoughts?

I don't find it boring...

Mind you, I don't engage in the PvP pew pew area, but I love watching and waiting as the ships fight at the undock, hoping one will fall so I can swoop in and take their gory remains,.

So you play that game, I also know why many love to mine game and trade game, some even haul game. But any thoughts on why PVP is boring?

Ok I will start with a thought I had, one of many, maybe it is because everyone zerg/blob and all of PVP is just about trying to bait and that's it.

Maybe gameplay feels old and stale. Just a thought, now your turn.

PvP is boring because instead of using the last 5 days of my sub playing the game, I choose to come and shitpost on the forums. Any thoughts?

I feel your pain, my thought is that pvp is just, dull/boring and you know those 5 days would be spent either blobbed, zerged, waiting 90% of the time or looking 90% of the time instead of getting an actual fight or bored of your ship or fitting and wait those 5 days to train for something "else" or be at the point where you try and think of something to train for.


Just a thought.

Not as fun as they use to be no, that's for sure, frigates is also still the most "fun" ship in pvp even almost a decade after starting to play this game. Makes you think ha? again, just a thought, "fun" was not partof development in recent years or in many parts of the game, not sure. I am also not sure how I answered my own question, I have thoughts but I am not sure as to why I don't have fun even in a good fight.

Do you have any thoughts as to why PVP is boring? Or doyou feel the opposite and why? how long have you played eve? and if you can offer anything else to this thread, please do.

I am close to giving up. PVP today and looking for it, use to be a pirate, hasn't been fun for years Not 100% sure as to why, I have theories but nothing definitive. I find being pirate, alliance fighter, fleet, spec ops and even highsec ganking to all be boring.

Only reason I still have the game is because I bought plex for my isks. If not for that I wouldn't have a sub at all.

I have done command, leading squads in pvp and fleets,usually roaming ones and sometimes, cringes*, bubble camps. I have also run a corp years ago. Meta games to me are boring and too time consuming, I miss the days when I would log on with my ****** SP noob char and attack and ransom people in my rifter, merlin or tank gate guns and scare the **** out of surprised people in lowsec with a shield extended caracal. But now I find ship, mechanics, graphics and fighting scenarios, damn, everything to just be very very boring. I spend more time on EFT or something than ingame and even if I spent more time ingame it would just be a waste of chasing ghosts or hiding/docked.

Maybe it is just boring because it gets old after years of few things to play with in the sandbox, maybe too many people with too much SP and ISK, maybe we need arena style or battleground pvp? or an eve 2.0 or deletion of capitals and complete change to highsec, lowsec and sovereignity, not sure. But for now, boooring, most people I know feel the same way, especially veterans. Maybe change, scrap the skill system or make the cap a lot smaller.

Again, more thoughts are welcome!

To be honest, I feel there is a lack in game design by CCP in regards to PVP over the years, I think they have done a bad job. Not being mean, it is my honest heartfelt opinion about a company I do hold in a VERY high esteem.

I feel the same way, I tried to get into WH's and exploration many times, my problem is I have yet to encounter anything worthwhile exploring for in this game, everything PVE wise or what I can find by exploring is tedious and lame to me.
