I’d say turn around and leave… But then again I have had some brilliant times at meets around the country and Fanfest, so I’m torn. ---

Generally in terms of my tenure in EVE: nevermind avatars, walk away when you’ve had enough of missions and mining. CCP doesn’t wants your kind, never did, and never will. Specifically for my starter mistakes: bigger ships meet bigger threats and you’ll lose them the same. Wait until you’re flooring smaller ship content and have every skill at IV. Also ship fitting is what defines the ship power, not the hull. This would have saved me several months of frustration with my first char… And the former would have saved me literal years of subscription and disappointment. ---

The fun goes away, piece by piece until one day you will realize the game is worse than a full-time job that you hate showing up for every day. ---

“Instead of fiercely hoarding ISK and constantly fearing gankers or losing your ship - just play, don’t fear a virtual loss, at least you’ll have something to remember”. This I would say to myself. It’s a shame it turned out differently. Now I have a couple of billion ISK, a hangar full of dusty cool ships and zero motivation to play because I got burned out with pointless ISK grind. ---
