MMO
Guys, I think I've hit the moment in gaming where you've played the best MMO's and cannot find one that satisfies yourself. Here's a list of games that I'm playing at the moment: WoW, APB, Vegas 2, Vindictus, TF2, Garry's Mod, Minecraft, Portal 2, LoL, Pirates of the Burning Sea, BF2, Savage 2, Terraria, EVE, SC2, A.V.A, and unfortunately, Runescape. Some of those games arn't MMO's but they are definitely games.

I don't like shitty F2P games such as LOTRO and Dark Fall, I've played them both and they are both garbage.
I love EVE's economy as well as a shit-load of people do also, but the learning-curve just pisses me off. I've quit EVE, uninstalled, and reinstalled and started playing it again about 6 times because the learning curve is damn unbelievable. But the thing that brings me back is this video 
FUCK that! I wanna be that bastard in that video!
I'll leave this in the hands of my fellow forum dwellers.
Love always,
Stoley
P.S I've been literally staring at my wallpaper for the last week, can you believe that.

This may sound somewhat offensive, but if you've played pretty much every MMO out there then there's not much we can suggest other than finding another hobby. It may simply be burn-out, caused by playing so often that you're simply bored of everything and need a break from gaming. To be playing 10 games actively you must be playing for long periods each day.
Anyway, judging by your experiences, EVE sounds like the game for you. There are very few (if any) virtual economies as complex as EVE Online's. The only downside is the time-based skilling and slow progression in EVE, so you'd have to be playing for several months to get the large amount of skills required for your playstyle. The learning curve isn't too bad, you just have to learn a lot more than you would in other games. Once you have a good idea of what you want to do (PvP combat, production, mining, whatever), you can coast along at any pace. I've played - and left - EVE several times and each time I was thrown off by the mindset of the players. The fanbase generally fits one of 3 stereotypes: Elitist/Serious RP players, Trolls/griefers/scammers and aggressive PVPers. I found it hard to find a corp that was actually laid-back and friendly and didn't die out within a month due to being too lazy... Your experience will probably differ to mine though. The politics is colorful at best.
tl;dr: Stick with EVE, the learning curve isn't that bad it just takes time.
Unique upcoming indie space-based mining and combat game - Miner Wars.

EVE Online to be honest is kind of a scam. In order to have fun you have to spend easily over 300 days learning skills. I just spent 20 days learning 1 skill called Amarr Frigate V, guess how many of those 20 days I actually played EVE? Zero. In my opinion it's just a big scam that makes people pay $15 per skill.
Once you got your skills learned you can start having fun. But until then, you'll have to wait a VERY long time. They say the game is only $15 per month, but you'll be paying more than $15 by the time you actually start playing the game.
Keep that in mind before you recommend someone EVE.
There are always things you can be doing, always. You just have to look around yourself and there is soooooooo much you could be doing as your skills train *shakes head* I mean even from DAY ONE.
Lol yes indeed, you could do many things such as mine, ratting, etc. The game is pointless without PvP; If you want to PvP with shitty skills you're going to get fucked up in every way. The only reason I play EVE is for PvP. All the PvE stuff is aimed at getting money, but if you had any sense you would buy a PLEX for $15 and sell it for 360M.
Chill bro. Perhaps you can wait for the next upcomming MMOs?
Would you mind recommending me an MMO instead of attempting to troll me by telling me to chill.
Sure, I can recommend you Rift. You say you are playing WoW at the moment, so I guess you may like Rift.
Yeah I played Rift during beta, it's the classical "WoW Copy". After playing WoW 4 years I don't feel like playing the same game downgraded.
It's almost like working at a 5 star restraunt then quitting to work at a 2 star restraunt.
if you think a game - any game is pointless without pvp then you are part of your problem. I rarely pvp in EVE and love the game.
Currently bored with MMO's.
Maybe the game that fully fit's with u isn't made yet, or maybe ur wanted to much,
just wait and follow under development games and im sure u'll see something you will like.
Imagine an EVE without PvP, you can't. As I said before the only reason why I play is because of PvP. That's awesome for you that you play EVE without PvP and you enjoy it. May you be awarded with this token of awesomeness.
As you said you have played the best MMOs, well, reading about upcomming MMOs is amusing, sometimes lol. It's easy to be carried away with so many info on the Web. I check the trailers sometimes, even though I know the gameplay and graphics are a different beast.
That was random.
LOL I really did laugh when I read this post. I like the way you worded it. I don't have an answer for you other than playing singleplayer games on a console or something which is what I'm doing in the downtime.
In before the "go outside" comments.

Yeah, I play single-player games such as Minecraft, Garry's Mod, etc. But they start to get lonely after a while; and thanks, I tried to add some flavor instead of the normal QQ post.
I found Rift to be far more Warhammer feeling than anything else with the classes being a bit more of an EQ2 and WoW mixture. But WoW was not my 1st mmo and it is one I have only barely played so typically the constant wow-clone, wow-clone, wow-clone stuff people say just comes across as not having enough experience with the mmo-genre as a whole and/or not being able to formulate thoughts properly so they use a quick simple wow-clone reference. The ONLY game I have played that felt like a serious WoW clone was Runes of Magic.
As to Eve if you are so into wanting to PvP just buy a ton of PLEX, sell them all, buy a PvP character with the skill points you want, problem solved. There are ways around impatience in Eve
If you like PvP you might like World of Tanks or League of Legends, those are the two I play now for fast PvP queu. Also Global Agenda, but admittedly none of those are really true MMOs imo.
Yeah thanks for your suggestion, I've been playing LoL for a while now and I love it. I just got banned for 5 days, and I'm pretty pissed.
WoT is pretty boring though back in closed beta, it might have gotten better though, idk.
My main priority is GW2, I hope it's going to be better than WoW, which is pretty damn hard to beat.
I am bouncing off the walls ready to try SWToR. But I want to see TSW also.
I like World of Tanks, game has had me addicted even though it is also extremely annoying at times. Such a thin line between glory and being blown up without managing to do a thing :P
Not banned on LoL so far but I almost never talk to anyone, just so many trolls there
I play Sona as main also so I get some polar opposite stuff from yay greatest support ever to wtf why would anyone play Sona :P
