Having some personal goals (target) cuts the boring part imo

Let's say when i was mining (not high amp miner most boring thing as it can get) i never felt the boring part as i had targets like first had a target of maxing L30 seeker then maxing the tm8 (level 60).

And now when i am done with these targets i moved to hunting and i still do mine for pyrite and still not boring for me :)

yeah i think having some goals really helps, plus i dunno about other professions but mining is always exciting cause of the daily fluctuation and opening ah to figure out whats good to mine today. Its kinda like stock buying and selling for me, just more volatile😋. Atm my goal is to hit my first ever tower mining. post that, maybe will be to understand and tame indoor mining. But yeah ive had periods where i just didnt know why i was playing and a small break really helps.

The game is not boring, you lack of imagination to make your time interesting.You can go 1-2 extra monitors to watch movies etc and tadaa

You gotta ask yourself why you're playing this game if its boring for you. If the reasons for playing are not enough to combat the boredom then your only choice is to take a break or quit. Either way it's rather boring to not have longterm goals and short term goals in this game, this may explain why you're bored since one tends to lose motivation to play then.

it's boring because game is outdated to 20 years. Lets forget it's not polished. Mobs stuck in trees, glithes and exploits everywhere.
It's outdated because there is no story or some interesting gameplay. Normal MMO is driven by gameplay, quests, teaming.

I guess that 50% of people here just find joy in tedious and calming hunting/mining after hard work day. And another 50% (including me) are driven by greed/illusion or dream about making money/gambling habit.

As soon as you off these two options - you see that there are tons of games with superior graphics, gameplay, story, adventures and explorations.

You need new things, goals. The ones that bring you change, excitment, fun, good energy. Do something you havent done before, be wize, creative, know where and what you want to become, aim towards there lol.

Been Back for 3-4 weeks now and boored again. Opened what 8k boxes i think and even 18k hoff dose not even excite me anymore. Everthing is kind a meh...

Yeah so question why this game is so daam booring? :D

I don't find this game boring at all, i have goals ingame that keeps me going. Good soc to chat with.

I mean the solution is obvious, if you don't even enjoy the game after coming back from a break it's time to quit, or to change things up.

A game in which you give me $10 and I will give you back $9 gets boring incredibly quickly.

However if you want to play it with me, I will stay up all night! :D

(You dont mind if I watch a film whilst we play right? - that's what everyone else does 🎞️ )

I kind a agree. game is so predictable and i think for me time invested in game worth less than invested in RL.

well we can play togheter Entropia on my potato pc with little to no effort XD... but I have second pc I spent 3k on it can do some real games :D

Describe your gameplay loop to us, hopefully then we can dissect as to why you might find Entropia boring.

Then again, I'm not sure what the gameplay loop is that I find fun either :ROFLMAO:

I don't think it's boring but it could do with more blueprint and manufacturing incentives
