Frankly, you need to play in the Quirko style. Fly ridiculously expensive ships and brawl people on station undock. When bored, fit a destroyer and gank eve-uni miners. Spam and troll everyone as soon as possible. Makes the endless hours defending industrialists fly by. Cool

Ah, so that old song and dance? Well let me finally clue you guys in.

Original post went like this:

- Statement describing the reason for the thread.
- Some scenarios about the sort of thing in the game that makes me weary.
- Description of personality with some examples, giving a better background for more full feedback.
- Outline of the problem, not being able to find a game and failing that not knowing what to move on to next if I quit gaming entirely.
- Letting you know the things that I have done to eliminate suggesting them. Thus someone might think of something different that I hadn't noticed.
- The question asking for recommendations.Attention

That you guys focused on just one aspect of the post and went galloping off on it, getting all bent out of shape, sure speaks volumes about you. Blink

...and all those examples of how great you are and how life bores you, speaks volumes about you.

BJJ / Muaythai is the end game of Martial Arts, but I guess you don't need the end game if you are just using it to beat up unarmed elderly civilians and children across the border....
Ugh

You see Krav Maga is not Martial Art this is first mistake 99% people do.

... but I think the conclusion is that I just like going through life "tasting" different experiences and challenges.

I have been getting tired and bored of EVE lately.

Didn't log in all of last week. Logged in yesterday and was ganked then last night our POS was robbed. Just makes me so weary.
I tend to get bored and move on to something else as soon as the intellectual challenges and learning are mostly over. For example, I got to the top level of amateur ball room & Latin dancing before quitting that, while my art got to a point where people were hanging it on their walls but in that case I knew if I kept practising it, I would become technically sound but never exceptional as I didn't have that feel for it. Archery? Won a tournament, did culling, bored. I could bore you with the list of different things that I have done, probably easier to list the things that I haven't done.
I have no interest in getting married, having children and such. I had a job that remunerated me well enough that I paid off a relative's farm for them and grew up in a family that was challenging on one side and wealthy on the other. Jobs too, get bored, dissatisfied, fired or quit. I have never felt a sense of accomplishment.
I used to read about 250 books a year, some 40% of them were non-fiction.
People bore me, they have the same pet topic, the same lives they live week after week (I do this too, since I opted out, so not saying I am better than them) and most of them just regurgitate the media.

So what is next?
I don't see any games that call to me any more. Just version # of game Y. The mechanics are all the same, organising volunteers to do things in MMOs is a nuisance (I have run a large and successful group / "guild" before). I have done most things in EVE, made final products from PI items, I have positive standing with a NPC null sec faction, I have made things, mined, PVPed, et cetera.

Anyone doing anything interesting that they can recommend?



Perhaps you can try cross dressing as you play. Or maybe play nude?

Powerful hallucinogenic drugs I am told also help. Heck to all three but don't OD. I don't want to read any headlines like "dead naked nerd found at keyboard logged into EvE Online and wearing only a tiara".

I am considering that. However, I could provide for them on an intellectual level, yet I don't think I am warm or caring enough to provide for them emotionally. The only weigh off is that they might get more attention than at an orphanage.




Reading your posts in this thread it sounds to me that you're suffering from depression.

Not just ingame but in real life too.
