Originally by: Atropos Kahn There is a lot of personal investment that each of us make into our VL lives in EVE, but more so into our corps and alliance mates. Can these sudden losses and gains give us post tramatic stress? With that same thought though, maybe that is why people like Chirbba and things like mining is so appealing to some in the end, even if for a short while. Sort of an escape from the constant waring. I don't know. I wanted to just throw it out there considering we will all most likely be playing for a long time to come.
And since I know how COAD treats it's posters... let the fail cascading responses commence!
Yeah, I know its a troll, but I will bite. And I am not afriad of posting with my main.
In simple terms, eve gives people the ability to set goals for the things they want the most. Be it fun, power, social status or wealth. Once you stop doing whatever combination of those that you require to enjoy the game, then you pretty much go downhill.
Some people get their fun for a feeling of making a contribution to their society. E.G A guy like Hedgemon was a 1 man industrial supercorp who found contribution was his way of enjoying eve, and then you get folks like CYVOK who have a different viewpoint on what is enjoyable.
Perhaps there is a guy who enjoys bashing POS's so his carebear alliance boss can plant another tower to help pay towards a officer fitted MS, but most people only do the boring **** so they can have more fun later. The guy who runs lvl4's so he can pay for his pirate alts pvp ship, the guy who mines all day to pay for his first BS so he can run lvl2's in a comedy laser fitted raven, or even the guy who sells veldspar just so he can afford the sheer number of crystals he burns through when he is enjoying mining in his dread.
I have seiged hundreds of towers, however the aim of that boring **** was the basis that 90% grind would then bring out the 10% fun - i.e the epic pvp fights. If anything, the most fun times I have had in eve was when we were loosing the original Delve war, due to the entire enviroment back then resulting in 24/7 constant pvp, multiple capfights and minimum POS bull****.
What people need to do is work out what is fun for them and start ganging up with likemanded players rather than jumping whatever flavor is hyped.
