Very simple. Define how you feel about your daily life (whether ti’s boring or stressing) and then explain why do you play EVE (or played it) Do you enjoy the thrills of EVE, like PvP? Or do you enjoy the relaxing aspects of it, like mining or manufacturing? If you do both (sometimes go for the thrill, sometimes relax) pick the one you do most. _Poll ([view on site](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/poll-do-you-play-eve-to-relax-or-to-experience-a-thrill/91564/1))_ ---

why not both? I like that I can log in and do something relaxing or thrilling. Also when I do something relaxing it can quickly become thrilling thanks to other players, hauling is pretty relaxing till you get cargo scanned with a few bil in the hold. And some of the thrilling activities become relaxing as mastery is achieved. ---

Thrill obviously. If I wanted to relax, I’d play a relaxing game. ---

NGL, I tried to play because of the thrills, but couldn’t find them and stopped logging in. ---

The problem with Eve is - When I’ve logged in to relax someone comes around to give me unrequested thrills… When I’ve logged in for thrills nothing happens and I get unwanted relaxation… ---

Why do all these poles present false dichotomies? Where’s the option for “my real life is exciting and constant adventure, EVE is just another adventure” ---
