The first thing that came to my mind was YES, the grind for isk, so you can do other stuff ! When you start out you grind for standings to get better agents and more isk, so you can do higher level missions. Especially from level 3 to 4 was quite a long tedious run from what I can remember. This can be made more bearable if you can join other people&#8217;s missions in your corporation so you can standings faster.<\/p>\n<p>These standings are also a requirement for miners, so you can get the best yield when refining. AFAIK these can&#8217;t be bought as suggested in the above mentioned blogpost (only corp standings can be boosted for a while, using such a service). And of course you can (legally !) buy isk in Eve using timecards, but I don&#8217;t really consider that a fun way to play as it doesn&#8217;t give much of a feeling of accomplishment. But it&#8217;s a way to get things done.<\/p>\n<p>Any other grinds in Eve ? Well I guess shooting rats in belts can be considered a grind, though when there can be danger lurking in losec or 0.0, it probably doesn&#8217;t feel too grindy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Casiella at The Eclipse Rift is wondering about the grind in Eve.
