Re: EVE Online
I feel the same way.. I have lost billions of isk worth of ships, and it quit being fun.. as much as I enjoy manipulating politics between alliances from the shadows.. I also like leaving station and not being at risk of losing months worth of time/effort.
I love the highly complex economic and crafting aspects of EVE, but the rampant piracy, loose everything when you die aspects drove me away from the game.
That's why I left. I lost three Battleships in two days due to server lag and was done with it. Loosing ships is such a pain in the *ss cause you have to spend a couple hours buying a new one, buying all the parts and refitting it.
The re-spawning ships is one of the really nice things about STO, although, not the frequency at which they die.
