Grinding, Grinding, Grinding

EVE

Found a few items I could buy a resell in Jita for a bit of a profit, nothing to brag about but they still provided some profit. There was a server bug just before the server went offline for the day where I sold my money item but didn't receive the ISK. Logged on the next day to see all the items in the hangar. My timing was pretty good and I was able to sell the items, lost about a million in isk but it could've been a lot worse. I decided to clean out some of my assets and went around to some of the hubs and sold salvaged goods for a few million. I just hit the 100 million ISK mark today. Not great but not bad.

Been missioning like crazy with Theological Society. Grinding mission after mission, just got my rating up to like 3.5. I should be able to hit 4 tonight or tomorrow and then try out the level three missions. The level 2 missions haven't been a challenge at all and I would like to do some plexes but thinking about the previous ones is aggravating after thinking how much time I wasted to see another pilot come in and reap the rewards. I'll have to wait until I'm skilled higher so I don't risk wasting my time like that again. I'm hoping to get to level 8 so I can get some jump clones. Been researching all kinds of things for this game and I don't know what direction I want to go into yet. Was grinding with Credoran Factory but there were no combat missions. The only good thing about the standings gain I have with them (not big but at like 2.5) is that they're a research facility if I want to go that way. I think making an all around character is the right choice, training up the core skills. I really shouldn't have wasted those remaps a few weeks ago. To think I wasted two of them for no purpose other than boosting the training time by a few hours. I just did another remap to boost perception up but another remap would've come in handy for the intelligence/memory skills in my plan. Oh well.

Was going to spend some money and buy a character off ebay but I don't like the risk of it. I don't want to have this account banned after spending a few hundred dollars. I was also considering buying some time cards and coverting them to Isk and then buying a character the legal way but they're pretty expensive.

Was also considering starting an alt by granting a 21 day trial and then buying the officer edition to get the training speed boost. 20 bucks for 51 days of gametime on the alt and then 30 days on the main. Not a bad proposition but I don't know what direction I woudd take the alt. I was thinking Caldari PVP but that is pretty close to where I'm going with this Main so perhaps an Industry alt. I figure it costs an extra 5 dollars to do that, 15 dollars for another month and then 20 for a transfer. Is it worth it in the long run? Not sure.

All the options in this game really make you think. Reading about that bond experience and then the person manipulating the market to such an extent that they were able to walk away with 169 billion in goods. It's outrageous.

3 days until I can Frigate 5 and I can fly a Covert Ops ship, I hope it's fun because the training has been like almost 2 weeks now.

Warcraft

Hit 85 on the Druid, went into my first battleground and then realized I made a mistake leveling the druid first. I know giving up on PVP just because it's not a ranged class is a bad thing especially after putting so much time into getting to 85 but I just don't have as much fun with non ranged characters. I went onto the Lock and immediately started grinding, dotting like 4 to 5 mobs at the same time and I think the leveling will be a lot faster. Was considering switching the mage over to a different server but I don't know if I'll even play after the sub runs out in a few days. I'm intrigued by the mage and rogue class but with the mage at 80 it makes it a lot easier to grind him out. Plus if I decide to play the rogue, i'll just run into the same thing I'm running into now.
