He is right. If you lack vision eve probably DOES seem like watching paint dry.

Well... That comes under the heading of shit happens(shrug). It is a PvP game after all. I personally stay in high sec, and I'm still with SWA after almost 4 years. But I have had some clown in a frig attack my Rokh in a .8 system one time. I just set back and watched the fireworks when Concord insta nuked them ^^ Eve is pretty much what you make of it.
My only misgivings about EVE also apply to most other MMOs, certainly all sandbox MMOs: repetitive missions and immensely stupid player-run empires that don't fit into the setting at all. Both are sad, inevitable consequences of a proper sandbox, I'm afraid.

i already have a job, I don't need a second one (especially one where I get to pay THEM). i also don't understand why people boast it has "politics and drama!", i get enough of that already, why in the hell would anyone PAY for it though?

For me EVE is the game I really would like to love. I can't play it due to the space is empty (like space is lol) and the combat is too slow and there is too little to do pve wise and the pvp is really hard to excel in and the skill-system annoyed me (having to log in every few hours to change skill doesnt go well with my casual playing).. But CCP is doing a great job with free expansions, something that impresses me. They have a single server, another thing that truly impresses me. And the game is very sandboxy. Cudos to CCP. Too bad I can't get into it.
Same here. There are a lot of things about this game that make me want to love it; but, there are too many things with it that drive me up the wall. I tried to get into it a few times; but, I could never settle. I love Sci Fi related games and there really aren't any that come close to this game; but, this game is too rough for me. I don't want to spend months trying to accumulate something that will be blown up in 5 minutes. Seems like a lot of time gone to waste and nothing to show for it. ='(

People pay for the chance to affect politics and large-scale drama, which they can't do in real life unless they're born into the proper social circles or make a lot of money. It's called escapism.
Sadly capslock is only cruise control for cool, it doesn't make you literate too.
EVE is the only game where if you meet a fellow player, you will not once utter the words "on my server" or "which server are you on? Oh, too bad, we could have met up."

Blah blah that's the first thing that came to my mind, SORRY if I don't like same stuff YOU like!
I played EVE for a "free" month and forgot to cancel sub, so I "played" for 2 months. I was bored senseless. Everwhere you try to go you must wait for minutes and watch the same traveling animation. I hope they changed that, but even if they did, I wouldn't come back even if they payed me to.

You're welcome to your opinion, no need to apologise, I disagree with you but I know that EVE is really not for everyone. At least you gave it a try.

EVE is about patience and is 100% what you make of it.
If it's awesome, it's because you made your game that way. If it's boring ... well ... same rule applies.
right........

Wondering if I'll ever find a reason to quit playing.
2+ years and CCP keeps finding ways to make the game exciting and fun w/o destroying the core game play.
A rare thing and something no other company has achieved IMO.

or buy a few ships worth of parts, stockpile them, and save your fitting, you can fit ship after ship in under a second
4+ years of my life I'll never get back or something to do while I watch my movie collection :P
Near-perfection, frankly.
