Eve Online

ok THAT was a trailer, Jeez! Wish I had the hours in the day but I dont.

Yeah, I don't even want to know how many hours I have wasted on Eve. 7 years of playing, often 3-5 hours a night, or more on weekends. This game has wasted more hours of my time than every other video game combined.

Doing something you like is never time wasted. Except if you lose. Constantly.

It is when it's thousands and thousands of hours.

Call it 'practice'. If people ask 'for what', it's 'practice when you're a space miner.' Now it's not wasted

I think out of the possibly >10k hours I've spent playing Eve over the years, maybe 10 of those hours were spent mining. My time in Eve was almost exclusively spent attempting to blow other players up, and spinning my ship in station.

Alright, space ship station spinner, then. Alliterative, too.

Only a masochist would choose to mine for hours on end.

PVE in Eve is an endless loop of grinding and boredom. You grind to get money, to buy the next best ship, so that you can grind faster and make more money. It's just a continuous cycle of grinding for the sake of grinding, and once PVEers in Eve finally catch on to that, they either move on to PVP or quit the game. This cycle pretty much applies to every other MMO on the market, which is why I don't play those games.

Where Eve shines is its sandbox. All of the most interesting content in the game comes from players interacting with other players.
