You should have tried joining a big corp or alliance just to try it out. By the looks of your corp history you might be a closet case. Happy trails and contract me your stuff plz...

Thanks for the notes peeps...especially the thoughful folks.

I had the same questions about corp life/pvp...to what end?

After I thought about it...I found the endgame for eve and it's this: you decide to spend your time playing this game over some other activity. I just found that cycling, learning the banjo, and being outside became my priority. When that happened, all of those pixels suddenly became worthless.

I feel ya OP, I rarely play at all actually, most of the time toasting in forums or just researching the lore.
I am currently relearning the guitar *already know the banjo heuheu* but I do enjoy the <15 minutes I play during the week to just log on and socialize and fly around and look at the neat pictures in space.
Just don't feel the need to "beat EVE" and you can enjoy it, its meant to play at your own leisure

Can't really argue with that.

I strongly suspect that you were playing this game by yourself.

This is a terrible game to play by yourself.

OP: Many people I know IRL who tried EVE have felt this way, vast majority of them left in their first year. This game really hasnt much to offer in-game wise apart from trading / industry career and the social metagaming.

I can still amuse myself by carebear activites, staying happily in an NPC corp with both my combat and industrial pilot, I do seem to log in less and less each month though. I dont think its neccessarily bad though, both of my active pilots are developing their skills over time and I dont feel like a MMO addict.

I have to agree that EVE can be terrible to play alone, yet it can be much, much worse playing with most of the dejected teen a**holes around - I mean, who in their right mind and adult years would let a 20y/o no-lifer scream at them for not being uberleet at flying their ship?

I myself havent succeeded in finding any decent corp in EVE in my first 5 months, all I found were scammers, immature kids, more scammers and more immature kids. Plus on top of that Im not a native english speaker and I find it very hard to keep up on voice comms with all those british / australian people with heavy accents and slang jokes.

By the way, dont biomass yourself .. if you really know for sure you are not coming back, why not offer your belongings / characters to someone who would actually use them and have fun with it? Just an idea :-)

This is my goodbye. 10 hours from now I will be recycled. I already recycled my alt. Three years of playing.

I quit because I started to ask myself: "To what end...is it only isk?"
Grind up LP for some goodies...to what end..
Explore wormholes..to what end...
shoot rocks...to what end...
Last night I suicide ganked a makinaw in Osmon in my nightmare...to what end?
Last night I got concorded in my Golem for attacking a Noctis in Osmon....to what end?

Turns out, ISK was the endgame for me due to a lack of EVE driven content. Nothing to really do but make isk by shooting red crosses..etc, Sure, the developers want human driven content but I'm a carebear with few hours to spend taking orders from a mouthbreathing neckbeard telling me what ship to fly and how. With no interest to develop spacehip friends, and the ability to buy as much PLEX anytime I wanted, I guess I fell out of the demographic for the game..so...bye.

Lastly, I left a shuttle with 5 PLEX in it and an omega virtue implant parked in deadspace in Jita as an easter egg. You'll have to scan it down if you want it. All my other stuff and isk will be melted down to the biowhatever.

The untimely death of fellow babymuncho Corp member babymuncho, on Monday, August 06, 2012, is a source of sorrow to me and their many friends in the corporation. Please accept our deepest sympathies in your bereavement. babymuncho was being reanimated at the cloning facility at the time when the fatal accident occurred.

babymuncho was a fine person and was admired by their fellow corporation members. You could trust them with almost anything. We will all miss them. I realize that words can do little to console you at a time like this, but I want you to know that we share your sorrow.

Sincerely, babymuncho Corp

Its a game every game is the same but eve can be a little more than just a game. If you think its all about isk then you are a noob carebear QQ. Nah eve is more every one on this forum thinks the same except some QQ/trolls we have no space outside the real world atleast not this far so some little bit fanta for your mind is not bad just keep it balance.

Pretty true, all we do is either kill red (grey, green, purple, yellow and orange) squares or red crosses. It does seem the ultimate goal of EVE is to acquire wealth; either by force by taking over a region or by running missions, anomalies, ratting, exploiting, manufacturing, begging or buying PLEX. What is the reason to play other than to generate killmail or socialize?

I still haven’t figured it out…
