Inheritors and other high ranks above Eclipse: how can you get motivated to play the game anymore?

I'm an Eclipse and, in all honesty, I cannot be arsed to get credits anymore. I can't even be arsed to play the game anymore even with the Anniversary maps.

I kinda stopped playing a bit. My other games and university need attention. Play for fun like I did? I stopped caring about rank after Mythic. I played for fun till Inheritor. Anniversary is what made me go through the last rank, because it was really fun.

Be sure to tell everyone how cool you are. If you don't tell them, they won't know.

They are either:

A. Boosters

B. No-life tryhards

C. People who still enjoy the game

That's the thing though: I don't find it fun anymore. Reach, for me now, is a sponge cake with no flavour.

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

I hear that when you reach the ranks just before Inheritor you attain a Buddhist-esque mindset; just like in Buddhism you get superpowers when you're Enlightened but you can't start out just wanting the powers, otherwise you won't get them. Just like that, apparently, if you want to get to Inheritor, you will not; it's only after you lose interest that you make it there.

Nah, I just made that up. I haven't played in a long time, so I guess I'll never make it.

Haven't played in a month, but it's not because Reach suddenly became bad or anything, it's just BF3 has taken over my online gaming.

Wait for future updates. An invasion update and new maps for it would make me play a lot more.

I haven't played for cR since I got past field marshall. I play the playlists I want, don't care about challenges, and I did not even notice when I ranked up recently. My friend told me my rank changed, I was pretty indifferent.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

It's not a matter of being motivated to play the game. I just enjoy it so I play it.

But isn't enjoying the game motivation in it's own way?

Yes, but motivation in this context is implying the game is a chore that needs to be worked through. While you may see it that way others may not simply because they enjoy it.

It sounds to me like you don't enjoy it anymore.

As I said a few posts up: to me Reach is now a sponge cake with no flavour.

Then don't play it. As it is a game that is made for recreational purposes, no need to make it a chore and force yourself to play it.

You can always play other games and come back later and see if you enjoy it differently.

Play Hard, Play Nice

Inheritor# ... ah hell, no one cares anymore lol

A and C for me. When my friends aren't online, I boost.

Well I go into the main menu of the game in the hopes I get motivated too play an online game but I just end up sitting there instead.

I don't and never played for rank, or armor..

I just play, if that's too hard to understand.

But you have to admit wearing Haunted is hilarious because of the little kids.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.
