Hello gamer, I grinded ISK in FW + sold some relatively big assets from another account to afford 3 months omega with plex. The grinding took about 3 weeks. The recemt PLEX omega sale helped. But now i have activated my omega account i immediately lost interest in the game. There are no interesting skills to train on it. There is nothing to do that i havent already done last time i played? I dont consider abyssal to be much fun. I spent maybe 2 hours doing it and lost interest. Why was i able to grind and play like mad when i was alpha, but then when i got omega i lost interest? Anyone else had the same experience? * * * A guide is up for how to do this > [@How to make billions of ISK in FW](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/how-to-make-billions-of-isk-in-fw/425926/1): > > This guide will scale up to 4 alts. 1 in each militia.

Three weeks? That’s better than me apparently lol Well, my EVE objectives are related to content and learning stuff, so I always making more alts and doing different things and moving around. If my goal was just being Omega then I would probably lose interest Creating your own goals is of utmost importance ---

> [@Wesfahrn](#): > > I grinded ISK in FW + sold some relatively big assets from another account to afford 3 months omega with plex. The grinding took about 3 weeks. Sheesh…you make out as if the cost was huge. It isn’t. It’s £37.50 for 3 months. £12.50 a month. It’s one of my smallest bills…comparable with Netflix or Amazon Prime ( I have both ), and I spend more time in Eve than either of those. I’ve been in MMOs where it costs over _£200 a month_ to ‘rent’ a server to host a site on. Now _that_ is expensive. ---

Don’t play for 3 months, and then when your omega runs out, grind it again. Then stop playing until that omega runs out, and then grind it again. That seems to be in line with your idea of fun. ---

> [@Wesfahrn](#): > > - sold some relatively big assets from another account That’s not exactly “grinding faction warfare”. The title of this thread is misleading. Perhaps it should read “i liquidated assets and plex’d my account”? What was the ratio of sold assets to fw ISK in this transaction? > [@Wesfahrn](#): > > There is nothing to do that i havent already done last time i played? Then find something new to do? Join a Corp of actual people rather than just your alts. If you’re claiming to have done everything there is to do in EVE, I’m calling bollocks. One suggestion: go on a Bombers Bar fleet or two. ---
