OP, i like it how you think your opinions should be ours [sarcasm]. You are very much alone in them and its clear you do not understand or played EVE. Please complain more about how bad Eve is and how bad its people when you only know about hisec, the cesspool of eve. Cry and whine more, preach to us about how well you understand the human nature and what we should be, in order to suit your [singular] needs. We know, Eve is dead , you hold the path to salvation, if only we would listen, we are bad people with no friends, eve has no content and someone shot your hauler. How about you gtfo we dont need you. We still thrive. Go play solitaire. Edit: someone shot your hauler twice… ---

If you don’t follow the narrative you just get a unconstructive personal attack. OP may be wrong in your opinion but that response is completely unecessary. It’s people like you who turn the game into a cess pit. ---

I would love more adaption but the pace of change is ponderously slow… How long does it take to finish tiercide? Ship rebalancing? The glacial response times for action are well noted. Just look at the bot threats here and on reddit. These thing dont operate in a vacuum. I can have fun with piece of lint and a string from a pair of frayed socks. But I like spaceships and explosions so I’m drawn to eve. Eve is a product and currently I’m not sure what they are selling exactly… That to me is a reason for my lack of subbing over the years. There have been alot of proposals but little in the term of follow through. ---

Let me ask you this, and further ‘‘embarass’’ myself Why did you started to play eve? I shall assume you saw the commercials and heard the rumors of beeing cut-throat, long term planning , a ruthless universe and huge fleets pummeling enemys into the ground. I think you saw yourself the leader of a pirate corporation , a isk mogul, a shrewd mercenarly ace pilot or what ever else. Guess what those things are real, they did not lie. But you are not the hero in this story, and found yourself the victim. So you want to change eve so it fits with your ideal. Sorry bud you are part of this universe and you are the content. If i assumed wrong, and you thought this was ‘‘Hello kitty online’’ get out. No need to reply to me , i would not want to further embarrass myself, Edit : Bring me more drugs preferably strong exile 😛 Edit2: i can see you re-replying and failing : you restarted 3 times now :)) ---

That’s pretty much all wrong sorry. I started EVE because I stopped playing WoW after Wolk and wanted something new to play. I had tried EVE previously but my computer wasn’t powerful enough to play it smoothly at the time. I tried to again when I had a better computer, I knew nothing about the game at all, I was just flying around exploring (not exploration). I started mission running for a while and then moved to null sec a few years ago. Over the last year I’ve been PVPing when I had time to play, but I don’t get much time because I’m studying maths currently. The game became boring when I realised I couldn’t do much with the limited time I had to play, and I posted in this thread saying it was boring for that reason. I didn’t mention anything about agreeing with anyone elses point of view, nor did I suggest any changes. ALL I SAID WAS THE GAME IS BORING. ---

Yeah it can’t possibly be the case that it’s an intrinsic consequence of how the game works can it. Everything takes a long time in this game, it’s boring to me, get over it. ---
