Burnout

[Penta Tonix]

We've all seen it, Some of us have experienced it.

Curious how you guys deal with burnout specifically in relation to solo roaming?

Ive dealt with by staying away from the game for almost two years now

I find the constant issue is lack of activity I can join in with.

I gave up on solo roaming years ago. The amount of time it costs vs what you get out of it just wasnt worth it anymore.

Now i mostly just rely on the abyss for getting my solo pvp on. Since thats only once every 2 (or more in case of shit events in between) its hard to burn out.

As for regular burnout, i fuck off to go play other games for a week or two until i start missing eve.

Man almost all these responses are pretty disheartening.

Such is life, but I am not gonna stop trying to fix parts of the problem. I WILL be trying for CSM next year again.

I just take a break.

I play some other games and then return, or I just set new goals.

I stopped: the kinds of solo roaming (old Pilgrim hunting belt ratters being my favourite, Vagabond being a close second) I used to do didn't really work anymore, and I ceased to have enough time to commit to make it rewarding, even if it retained the rate of return per hour invested. I migrated to piloting principally logistics in small and medium fleets as my favoured playstyle instead, after a brief stint focusing on playing the market, and an even longer stint AFG.

I take breaks often is my issue, Bringing myself to roam just feels too rough.

Suddenly the reality of life hits me, and I start getting trained and working.

 

And laying under a car repairing it. It just becomes too much.

[Tarkis]

I either do other stuff (exploration, manufacturing, Proving Grounds) or I ping warrior for a while.

Play other games. Engage in other hobbies. It also doesn't help that the longer you play, the less engaging things start to become. Once you've achieved your goals and done the same shit in the game over and over it just eventually loses its "shiny new" feeling. Why grind ISK when you've already got more than you'll ever need? I gave up on solo roaming after they destroyed off grid boosts, probably one of the last best tools that you could use to engage the blob. So part of it is just growing bored of the grind, the other is CCP destroying niche and interesting gameplay styles. It's a sad state of things tbh but at least you can just keep your skill queues going if you want.
