Thanks for any suggestions.
Change of tapestry: Move into another type of space. Leave your old group behind, join a new one or try flying solo for a bit.
Or just take a break and play something else for a while. I tend to come back after a few weeks/months with new motivation and stuff I want to try.

If you still want to play then look to something that you havenāt tried yet and go for that. I was in your boat a few months ago and then bit the bullet and now live exclusively in LS (my main). Very fun.

The thing is I absolutely hate the Eve rewards/ratting system. I donāt find it rewarding at all.
So when I go away for a few months I come back to the same mechanics. Nothingās changed.
Itās demotivating and demoralising the way it is.
Asking players to invest millions and billions and hours each day to get back what?
Iām still a paying subscriber, currently on two out of six accounts.
But Iām basically paying to socialise and skill train because thereās nothing else.
I just want a little motivation.
Then donāt ratā¦
Do what you do find rewarding (but in a newer way).

At the moment thereās honestly nothing I havenāt tried.
I might try incursions again to see if thereās a thrill. But thatās it.
For example I enjoy doing level 4 distribution missions. But stopped because of the low pay and rewards and the mind numbing equal distance between stations for each mission became repetitive.
Thereās so much in Eve that has a good foundation but just isnāt developed enough.
Except PvP and thatās boring to me.
Incursions might be interesting for a bit but I guess you will get boarded of the too. You donāt strike me as the theme park type.
Start a corp with an interesting niche angle on thingsā¦

Thanks I might just have to do that. Maybe I can start a corp that only does pi or some other weird niche lol.
Whatever it is I enjoy feeling needed by someone else.

Going to send you an in game PM as I have a suggestionā¦FYEOā¦
Give me a few minsā¦
Get away from the grinding mentality. Cannot stress this enough. The reason we lose so many new players is because players are telling them to just grind and grind.
The passive pi income from a couple accounts can abundantly support a modest pvp life style or subsidise exploration.
Go visit some new areas with a little solo ship or explore some wormholes/null sec.

Itās difficult but I thank you for your feedback.
I read āāwhen you have lost internetāā.
Go play another game, simple as that. Come back when you feel you want too. We all get eve burn out.
Nobody stops playing EVEā¦they only just arenāt playing it at that moment.
Sadly, there is nothing out there as goodā¦nothing.
(RUST is pretty darn good though I must say)
Eve is not a good game.
There is a lot wrong I will give you that but there is nothing that come close to itās scope, scale, size or sandbox nature.
As mentioned, RUST really gives you that āevery action has consequencesā feeling but that only lasts until the server reset soā¦
I havenāt even played X4 yet as I already know there is no pointā¦

In a similar position myself insofar as trying to remain interested so kinda got one foot out the door. Spent the last few months trying different things and looking at the near future and just canāt really get that into it or excited.
Figure itās time to play a few other games and check in periodically when the itch starts again.
Ok. Thanks.
Iāve asked that question many times with my 19 accountsā¦ then CCP pulls a 16th anniv douche scheme and I wonder why Iām even asking the question.
Iām in a similar situation at the moment, just boredā¦ log in do some random things that are of little interest then log. Iāll be looking at some of the suggestions myself.
Been doing that for 8 months. Itās horrible.
