Usually, it's either making some good ISK, or having a blast with the corpies.
Currently, I'm not motivated, though. No corpies, got ok ISK for now, and CCP is going through one of their shittier phases, with the forced in-station TV ads, not quite complete citadels, and numerous bugs.
I had a CTD bug due to, I believe, an incompatibility between the in-station big screens and the SLI setup on my (older) Nvidia video cards; I ended up upgrading my video cards to a single, more modern card before they had a chance to fix the bug, because it was going to take forever, but I ended up using the improved frames-per-second to play other games. I have about 3 to catch up on.
So I'm queued up for 6 months and probably won't log in much.

What makes me want to log into EvE is shooting stuff and explosions, my own included.
What makes me want to log out, is the general risk-averse nature of EvE players. |

I like to log into loads of new signatures to scan down, especially long wormhole chains, like a thread I just keep pulling until there's an end which could be good sites to run or some chance at PvP. Even better is when I feel immersed in the game and there's some lore feels to be had.
I log out because I also play Real Life.

Boredom makes me log-in and pretty much every *feature* from the last two years makes me want to log out again.
- New UI - In-station billboards - New map / dscan (I don't use those) - New camera - ...
The citadels are shiny, though. Like those.
When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.

Building a new ship, taking it out into the stars and doing things with bros. Most things revolve around making isk in order to fund the "fun machine"
The only thing that is rage inducing in the game to me, is the citadels. Some of the systems are no more than space junk yards. I hate seeing these heaping piles of scrap everywhere I turn. That is simply because it kills my "captin kirk" space immersion. The reality is, eve is more like space costco. |

Log in: A stupid idea for a new way to kill some NPCs and get some loot.
Log Out: Watching a stupidly fit PVE ship that never stood a chance to succeed despite my intensive EFT Warrioring skills explode because it was a bad idea to begin with...
But seriously, I log in to play with my friends and contribute to my team (corp/alliance), try new stuff (see above about explosions), relax after a long day of dealing with idiots and to enjoy something I can't in real life.
I log out when it's time to go to bed, or when it's family time, or otherwise when real life calls.

Still on a quest to become a better pilot. In order to do this, I have had to teach myself to not rely on killboards. Learn how to whelp blindly into stuff; learn how to kite better, dodge better, pilot manually; experiment with new fits for old ships and undock some of the more expensive ones that were gathering dust.
It may sound funny but concentrating on the actual combat rather than trying to minimize the risk (and losses) was something I needed to learn for I had come to think of loss as something to be avoided- whereas in fact initiating combat under uncertain or sub-optimal conditions is more rewarding if you pull it off and even if you don't it's still more entertaining.
I log in to see what I can do, where I should improve... what motivates me? Pitting my skill against yours, and see who emerges victorious! (or is what horrible way I will die today LOL) |

I'd be willing to bet you might be in that 'risk averse' crowd.
Ask yourself a simple question, do you always seek a fair or underdog fight? If the answer is yes, then you are not in the risk averse crowd. If the answer is no, then you are in the same crowd, just a ship to ship PvPer.
The risky behavior crowd in ANY MMO is extremely small, likely less than 2% of the player base.

My motivation is I enjoy the game. I'm finding out all the great things I can do in it. There's always something new to try to become good at.
EVE is my game, made my way, played the way I feel like it. The mistakes are mine to own, the victories mine to own. The people are great, even the rotten eggs, and the game devs seem to give a damn about me as a player, so all's good.

What makes me want to log out, is the general risk-averse nature of EvE players. That's what makes it all the more sweet when you kill them. If Eve didn't encourage risk averse behaviour then it would just be like every other meat grinder multiplayer type game where you don't really care if you kill or get killed because you simply respawn with all your stuff.

+1
Also, there is a difference between overly risk averse behavior, and smart game play. Not taking an even odds fight (or a fight where the odds are *only* slightly in your favor) is overly risk averse behavior. Running away from a 15 man gang when you are by yourself in NOT risk aversion , staying would be stupid most of the time.
I've heard people say "we need to get rid of killmails because if you did people would pvp more". Same for the whole "insurance should pay for everything" suggestions people have floated around. Totally bad ideas, losing something in EVE is supposed to hurt, you are supposed to dislike getting hurt, and that makes getting actual kills that much sweeter, because you know it hurts lol.

The experiences you can't get on any other game is what keeps me motivated. The rush you get when doing something like pvp...I've done tons of pvp in other games but never have I had the feelings EVE can give you. First time I did pvp in this game, my hands were shaking...I forgot how to play almost entirely for a moment or remember to even activate my ships modules. I've never found that kind of rush in another game. The community is a big part of it, all the stories players can tell you that sound like they are straight out of a novel or a movie. Even the people you don't like provide awesome content in which to read about or take part in. There are more but those things alone will always keep me loving this game. Even when you "quit" or take breaks...you know you're going to go back, EVE becomes a part of your life. |

If the answer is no, then you are in the same crowd, just a ship to ship PvPer. The risky behavior crowd in ANY MMO is extremely small, likely less than 2% of the player base. You take smart fights. Some fights are just plain stupid. But yes, I do tend to take fights that are not always in my favor.
Probably happens a bit less these days, since I'm spending time with my newly recruited corpmates and just wait a bit for their skills to catch up, while creating some stable isk income.
But if you would have checked KB stats before posting, then you would see that my kb ain't all that green. And there are plenty of T1 frigs vs factions frigs, T1 frigs vs dessies, some T1 frigs vs cruisers (Although taking on cruisers have become rather hard) and some T1 frigs vs battlecruisers. Solo with no links.
But I suppose, I am risk-averse after all. But it's really nothing compared to how risk averse the rest of EvE is. So many people have fled my T1 frigates, even if I've given them a favorable fight like against a faction frig or dessie. |

Making mistakes: some small, some with REAL impact on your play. (Oh, sh... that was not the amount of ISK I wanted to sell that for...)
Seeing all these people buying things from you. Making money to build new stuff people can buy :) And collecting things, like skill books, offices, ISK...
Sometimes blowing up the stuff just built. But just sometimes.
