i tryed mining ,pve industry and once you get in the money it gets so boring…
only thing to do is try to get the money faster and more…
the game is made hard because you need alot of rescources to build something
but once you can buy those…sell of my macks,porpoise orca
How about you try that thing that the buyers of your goods engage in all the time?

Then why not try out other aspects of Eve, do PvP, join an alliance. Eve isn’t just about economics…

Some people like earning ISK as it’s only goal.
But for many ISK is just means to an end. Personally I enjoy earning ISK from time to time but wouldn’t want to spend all my EVE time doing just that. What I do enjoy is trying new things, using ships in PvP fights and other activities. I need ISK to fund that, which is why I make ISK.
It sounds to me like you get bored by making ISK without a further goal.
Have you considered trying to do one of the many things in EVE that you need that ISK for?
Buy a fun expensive ship, use it, lose it to something stupid, do it all again? Then you have a reason and goal for all that ‘ISK earning’.

Make some friends! Of course it’s boring to play a video game by your lonesome self for an extended period of time.
If you had fun with 2’s and 3’s then you really enjoy the level 4’s.
Be careful though…the 4’s are serious business. You could slightly get away with running the proper resists or having the correct ammo in the 2’s and 3’s. The error gap will close up on you significantly in the 4’s because of the incoming damage and even more dangerous frigates on the grid. If you did 3’s pretty easily then you should transition into 4’s just fine and youll figure out how hard to push.
Have your EVE Survival pulled up to help you through some of the more delicate ones.

As a player who has struggled with finding the game grindy and boring for years I figured I would give you an idea of how I’ve rectified the feelings of the boredom for me.
My previous experiences with EVE have been: buy a month of Omega, play casually for the month and when the month was up, I would not be interested in continuing the game. I would then stay away for several months and finally come back to start the cycle again.
As a player who prefers single player RPGs my biggest issue with EVE has been the lack of a story progression and feeling there is any depth behind the PVE content. Having said that, I play EVE like it is a single player RPG. I have 1 account, 1 toon, no alts and I always play solo. While in-game, I consider other players as more difficult game content and not the other players they actually are.
The thing that changed the game for me finding a real and tangible goal in-game. For me that is plexing omega. I know it sounds weird and is opposite of most people say but it works for me. This change totally changed my style of game play. I went from a passive “leave me alone while I rat player” to a little bit of a troublemaker. Needing to make enough ISK to plex the account has made me take more risks which has actually made the game more fun. I found that I really enjoy competing for and, if required, using ninja tactics to loot combat anomalies. It’s great ISK, exciting and most of all it doesn’t really effect your standings like kill PVP does. It’s great single player content and has really changed the game for me.
In the past, if I scanned down a combat site and somebody was already there or if someone warped into a site I was running, I would passively leave. Now it’s game on! Well, that’s my 2 cents. Hopefully you can find your own adventurous niche and continue playing. I’m on month 7 now and I just plexed 6 months of omega so here for a while anyway…..

The game has dozens of play styles. Some obvious, some not. Some focussed on numbers, some not. Some focussed on “end game”, many are not. Some involve more player interaction, some less (or close to none).
You can be as casual or try hard as you want and you can focus on play styles and goals that you want. That means that if you get bored there’s a good chance you chose to do things you find boring, probably because they were easy/safe. Make different choices, get different results.
Generally though, people who focus on numerical goals or achievements tend to burn out and get bored the fastest/most. Instead go for things outside your comfort zone, things that are scary where the goal isn’t “I made X amount of isk" but instead “I pulled it off. I’m still alive and I learned something”, potentially including “I made new friends/enemies”.
Sandboxes require a different mindset.
Try being a space pirate. It’s a hybrid of PVP/Isk Making most of the time. It’s also not boring at all. You either score big, get a good fight, get dropped on and dunked, etc etc. Very entertaining gameplay style.

You lack vision.
The one thing I agree with is that the game is slow when it comes to resource gathering, but with the stipilation that you seem to like that part… while I would gladly skip it in order to play what I consider the “actual” game, which “requires” those resources in amounts that I find boring to collect. Interesting how that’s a mirrored sitiation

Have you tried anything else?
(Solo) piracy is indeed far more interesting.
Lots of people overestimate what you’d need to get started - a badly fit Rifter can shine in some situations. If you are not a profit-minded player, I recommend you reserve 50% of your income to build cheap PVP ships and interdict Ventures, PI ships, and explorers at their respective sites in lowsec to get started. Do not expect much in the way of profits - expect interesting emergent encounters and a chance to chat/talk to the wider playerbase.
Once you’ve killed a miners drones, ripped through his shields and are chewing through his armor, is the moment you open a comm channel and negotiate a price. Getting paid this way probably doesn’t sound interesting for the isk/hr minded player, but I found it more captivating then the billions I made otherwise.
Honor your deals, and your targets will even come to respect you. Your rivals will make sure you have a steady ISK sink, which helps to counter the feeling the game is just a climb that gets steeper at every tier,
