> [@Quintus\_Aideron](#): > > So I fit a incursus for alpha pvp after been bored out of my mind doing pve stuff, flew around some low sec stuff for a bit until I landed on a a gate and the guy there exploded me with 2 Imperial Navy Large EMP smartbombs and killed my ship and capsule, I looked up the cost of them in market and they sell for 128 to 144 million each. So he spent almost half a billion to blow up my 2 million isk ship, it seems I had no chance of doing anything to avoid the death or engage in any type of combat with them. > This game’s play style seems to be “Tons of time been bored while trying to find something fun to do and then been killed by some kind of mechanic you can’t easily avoid”, ie a warp bubble or a smartbomb or been countered by the rock paper scissors system. Am I missing something? > > Just wanted to add I can’t see any point playing again, if I am just going to go out and fly around for 20 30 minutes been bored and then instantly killed. Impatient youth. You can’t master this game in a…year, or two. You can either give up or harden up. This is the hardest game. Ever. Yes, people can spot your rookie arse 4 AU away and will destroy you…because they can. You CAN avoid a lot of situations by developing your situational awareness. This takes time and dying a lot. If you are bored…that is your issue. Find something to do. What? That’s for you to decide. Join a corp, talk to people in local. Ask for help. Or remain bored and let Eve get the better of you. Your choice. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/too-hard-to-have-any-fun-as-a-solo-new-player/28502)._
