I love EVE, but sometimes we fight.

TLDR: Taking a bit of a break from the meta, maybe the game. And leaving the DTP Show.

It’s time for a reset. I told Bronya Boga this morning I no longer want to be on Down The Pipe. I’m done with the meta for a little bit. Being on Down The Pipe has been one of the greatest and most rewarding things I have ever done in my EVE career.

Bronya forever the straight man, has been my base and my footing for a long time, without him DTP wouldn’t be as awesome as it has become.  I just don’t have the passion I should to keep going.  I can't comment on the meta game anymore, the dev reports or current events. I want to be done thinking about it and stressing. I just want to blow up space ships and tell fun stories, but I have been sapped for passion. 

DTP has been a huge passion for me, and with my recent lack of interest and anger with the game, its not fair I bring that bull shit to the show. Bronya doesn't deserve it, and neither do the listeners. 

Not only do I not have the passion, my lack of passion for it has given way to an anger at the public, the meta and CCP that I wish I could say wasn’t deserved but is. EVE is better than this.

 A positive vision of what EVE can be, is critical for me to continue to put time into this game.

EVE doesn’t need to be hated! It doesn’t need to be fought with. The sandbox and its never-ending ability to simply wipe away your sandcastle  and restarted its reinvention, its creativity.

As it stands, I still want to maintain this BLOG, I feel Bobs justice should be brought down as frequently as possible. I still like story telling and after action reports.

These are my reinvention ideas.

Space AIDS:

To bring a covert griefing campaign upon wormhole pvpers and bears alike. The challenge is to live out of a can or logged off Orca in a VERY active wormhole.  Bombing closing ships, bombing sleeper wrecks, stealing from the people living in there and simply staying logged in 23 hours a day.

I wouldn’t put up a POS or given the defenders any kind of platform to attack, but I would bring the fight whenever they are at their weakest. Similar to what Baby Dady does, but to the same people for months. For no other reason than to bring a threat from within that can’t be avoided.

Hermitage:

Finding a nice little C4-C4 and retiring. Just farm sleepers, avoid fights, do PI and chilllllll. Move in alone, talk to no one and make drugs or something.  Though it would be a very nice vacation. Not sure if I would get bored or not.

Hermitage in NPC NULL

I’m always attracted to carving out my own little place in some NPC Null Pocket where I defend it with my own little gang of alts. Do minor PI have a little POS and try and diplo with the locals, bribe them.. and just exist alone.

Uninstall EVE and walk away:

I know this sounds mental, but with all the bull shit going on with the meta right now, I’m actually hostile thinking about it. I’m tired of being angry at something I love so much. Sometimes you need to just step away, get perspective and come back with fresh eyes.

I have some things to think about, just wanted to blog about my thoughts.
