As with the other time I tried to re-energize myself for Eve, I am in the dark of what to do. I have scoured the internet, Youtube, the forums, etc. to get a handle of all of the things that I could do and I am just not sure what direction to take or how to get started. That is probably why I end up only staying for a month or two and then leaving.
My goal has always been to earn enough ISK per month to get things I want, and pay for my playing time with PLEX. I'm not clear if I can do this with between 5-10 hours a week of playing time. If not, then I am fine paying real cheddar to play but first and foremost I would like to have fun (everyone's goal I assume). So here in lies my uncertainty. Mine, Explore, Combat or PvP. Early on I think I was training for combat, but along the way after joining a Corp, I decided to go the route of a salvager. I lost interest after a month and quit playing again. I do like the combat portion of the game but I am not sure how to start my career doing it, and during the training process, how to earn the ISK to progress. I would like to continue to use this pilot if I can and haven't screwed up my skills. I have over 500M ISK and 7.5M skill points (obviously spent).
So I guess I am looking for any helpful information, or well done tutorials for pursuing a career path in Eve. From what I read, mining sounds profitable, but it also sounds a little boring for me. Like I mentioned I do enjoy the PVE combat I have done, is PVP more fun and profitable? I also like the idea of doing exploration.
Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated.
Your goals aren't really enjoyable turning EvE into a job is the best way to burn out. I recommend subscribing to eve for a year, and focusing on what you want to accomplish long term, then enjoying the game by joining an alliance in nullsec that likes to pvp, something active in your time zone. From here you'll not worry about getting ISK to buy a plex for gametime, you'll be focusing your efforts on learning about the game mechanics. Once you've been in eve awhile you can get another account thats older and enjoy other aspects.
People who come to eve with the intention of paying for game time with in game money never last long, because a new player needs isk just to get into the game.
