It seems you were never on a fleet with Michael Bolton reading fan fiction. Point being, combat is really a small part of EVE. Admittedly I haven't played in a few years, but I don't regret my time spent online, whether grinding missions/anomalies, hitting F1 on-demand after hours of "did FC say jump?", or mining in a ~catalyst~ venture. Having interesting people to talk to, and shared experiences, made it all worthwhile.
