Do you like slow burn games where absolutely nothing could be going on at all therefore, making you have to piddle about looking for something to do out of boredom?
EVE is not DUST; it is not WoW. Sandbox = no real ready made content you can just jump into immediately and go all high speed rockstar. It really ends up being a second life that you have to push for days to make the smallest thing happen.
If DUST were checkers, EVE is chess (or worse, Monopoly).

Just check the in-game map for super clusters of NPC kills (preferable high-sec regions with L4 agents) and farm content/tears off the missionbears. http://evedarklord.blogspot.ca/2014/03/carebear-to-killer.html
Did all that. It is fun for about five seconds. The rinse and repeat of anything in EVE does not yield much after three months.
The best bet for fun with some kind of in world related context rather than just bored ganking is Red vs. Blue. They're a fun couple of corps that are permanently wardecced against each other for consentual PVP. Last I checked my characters are still in there too. Lol, it's been five years.

If DUST were checkers, EVE is chess (or worse, Monopoly). Oh, please!.... Go to nulsec. Join a nulsec Alliance corp and be prepared for constant wardecks. If you honestly think EvE is that boring, compared with Dust, you just haven't experienced it like I have.
Yes, I have. I've done that. It is long stretches of nothing because nobody really wants a fight or you are waiting for something to happen. They talk big on the forums, but no bite. That's why I like corps like Red vs. Blue. Everybody wants to fight and they even have additional wardecs going besides each other.
That had been the best pvp, or any real activity since when I first started playing and we were being wardecced by merc corps. I usually do tackling and scouting because I love intercepters and I can be doing something when everybody else is sitting at the gate in a stalemate.

I usually do tackling and scouting because I love intercepters and I can be doing something when everybody else is sitting at the gate in a stalemate. The only thing I never did was join a FW corp. At the time FW just started and was a crap implementation. They apparently made it better just as I was on my way out. The corp you join obviously has an effect on this. If you join a corp that's part of a big Alliance that's always in fights, none of what you wrote will be the case. I'm in a Provi corp and there's constant fleets and incursions from all sorts down there. Not hard to find a fight if you really want one. Yes, from what I understand FW is really good, but unlike Dust, if you participate in FW you will wear yourself a KOS for your opposing faction, even after you leave your Militia. It will take ages to be allowed back in. It can even be bad just running missions - my main EvE char is a Caldari Navy contractor - she can barely fly through Gallente space...
I was in a corp that joined CVA. Most of the time nothing until they got invaded due to the sovereignty marker change being added. I had just left and was moving my stuff out when it hit. I loved the warp stabbing my Impel and laughing through the big gate camp heading out of Prov.
Even then CCP had not added the time dialation feature to the game so big fights lagged. I tried and tried to get more directly involved with the bigger corps, but between scam d*ckery and lack of recruitment or specified recruitment I never could progress further than that. I hate blob warfare too.
That part of the game and its ubiquity has always been a turnoff. I'm in the camp that feels it stifles the game. For this reason, small scale warfare with any real meaning was next to non-existent. Low sec died and pirate corps had given up at the time.

I'm sure the farther I get into this the more attention I'll have to pay but right now I'm just mining away and buying ships and mods for them. In all a pretty good first impression. I did the free 2 week deal and I'm going to buy a 3 month for sure. If that goes well by the time that's up my B-Day will be around that time so if I like it I'm going for the year long deal. Thanks for the input and heads up on things.
I have to admit, this thread does have me considering getting back into EVE. I still want to do Red vs. Blue, but if anybody has any opportunities going that I could get involved in otherwise it'd be much appreciated. A lot has changed and it's been a long time so I too would be relearning the game.
I have done mining with up to three accounts. Two Hulks and an Orca. I find that sort of thing fun, but you still need to break the routine. I also day traded in Jita and ran ore collecting and trading in Cal space with two freighters running two routes.
That kind of stuff you can do in between and make good money if you get used to playing the market with buy and sell orders. Buy plex and sell it then use the isk as investment money.
I also have three agents still cooking off datacores for money.
I wish smuggling, particularly gun running, was more of a thing. That's what I'd really love. I like fitting a ship with warp stabs to make easy escapes of gate camps. Fun game of cat and mouse.
