This may help you to enjoy EVE much more. How I win at EVE now in 2022 1. I no longer care about any changes or nerfs and simply readjust my game play accordingly, understanding everyone is experiencing the same changes. 2. I think of other players as a variant of AI, since I don’t know them personally, with some actions seeming less intelligent than an NPC, and others playing in God mode. I avoid God mode characters and feel more at home with the NPC types. 3. I set personal goals to reach and resist others negative chatter about why they were wronged. 4. I stopped playing the ISK per hour game. 5. Most Importantly, I can’t think of another game that has as many challenges as this one, at all levels of play. I love space games, but I’ve had my rage quits over the years with EVE, but looking back, it was because I didn’t understand how or why I was playing an MMO. I play solo, but really like having people in the same sandbox as me, yes even the trolls and gankers. This is truly what a sandbox game should be, and I don’t work for CCP. ---

Great post, I too can’t seem to stay away from the game and keep coming back. There’s nothing out there that even comes close to the depth of this space mmo. ---

I agree with everything you said except for the following: > [@Dashing](#): > > I think of other players as a variant of AI, with some being less intelligent than an NPC, and others playing in God mode. I avoid God mode characters and feel more at home with the NPC types. I treat the players in this game the same way I treat people in real life. I get it we can’t all agree but I respect those differences. I also remember people have feelings too, and just because I don’t agree with them doesn’t mean I look down my nose at them or treat them like garbage. Golden Rule applies: _Do unto others as you would have them do unto you._ ---

A agree completely. My #2 was meant more as other players motives, goals, etc… even though they may not align with mine, they have their place in the game, just as I find my place. I was actually including myself in the NPC skill level of game play. I’m not very good at the game on a competitive scale, but do a bit better than a bot. Peace ---

I stand corrected and thanks for clarifying your #2 point. You have a great weekend! ---
