I'm not going to talk smack against the game I like.
But here are some of the reasons why I like EVE. Allows me and the wife to spend time together in game. Not much different from sitting down and play card game!
I Have made good friends all over the world, Even some close to my own homelands.
Biggest one "Child hood dream" - of what hollywood has created in my head. Fly the big ships
Being a Adult: Game give me time to be the father I am. Without sitting at the computer all day. While training my account
These are just some of the reason why I play the game. TBH I have way more reason why I could leave this game. But I think the good ideas keep me here

I like EVE mostly due to flexible gametime. You can decide for yourself when to play, only to log in once in a while to set another skill until you have spare time to actually play.
The EVE world is much more different. Most mmo and the alike is bound to be slashing and magic worlds.
The Market in EVE. A bit confusing at start, but much better than most other games.

I kind of love and hate Eve, I have played for years and now having a fresh start after alittle time out. Eve has given me friends from accross the world with the same intrests as me. The game is so addictive, even while having time off I was thining about eve.
Bad points= too damn addictive.

Hmmm, what keeps me paying my 4 subs. Its a hobby I guess. It's been good fun running my own pen n paper corp made up of myself. Noone ever whines on mining ops or has to drop out of a small roaming gang cause his mom got home and wants to use the computer when its time to pew pew. Plus the biggest draw to keep me here is the fact that all other ships are actual players and not a bunch of scripted npc like in the game X3. It's simply the best sandbox style game I've ever played with only your own limits limiting you in the majority of cases.
Long Live Eve!

Just cancelled my 6 accounts.
Eve is too much of a time sink.
And CCP are a bunch of hypocrits anyway.

I stay with EVE because it is the only MMORPG that has any friggin depth. Player owned systems, politics, a realistic economy, FREE EXPANSIONS (each with a kickass video) and the great graphics.

Because I haven't found an MMO I like better.
Eve has problems, but it's got some really really good parts, too.

The depth of the game. The time commitment and investment it takes to build an empire. The risks involved and the political drama. That is why I stay.
The things I hate are the lag, the bugs, the tediousness, jump bridges, capital blobs, POS life and POS warfare. Meh.
The good out weighs the bad I guess cause I still love the game and play it every single day.

I have several friends in-game. It also gives me an excuse to tell people how stupid they've been without having to be subtle and polite. Lastly after 4+ years I'm just too interested in seeing where the game is going next. -- (Sarcastic mission running veteran)

I haven't been playing for long, but I've unsubbed twice already, and come back twice.
Reasons I've left:
1) Lots of boredom for a newbie, nothing much to do for a casual solo player except mission run or mine. This isn't much different from other MMOs, but the skeletal nature of this mechanic shows up more clearly when your brain isn't fooled into thinking you're travelling through pretty countryside, and you feel you're just lost in a vast, largely empty space; and
2) The schoolyard bully/griefer's paradise atmosphere the combat mechanics encourage, which is profoundly immersion-breaking. Instead of feeling like I'm in a vast universe with other immortal pod pilots, I'm acutely aware that I'm in a game and that there are, unfortunately, all-too-real spotty youths at the other end of the smacktalk.
3) Again, because of the mechanics, everything is "cheap", nothing is "precious". I totally fell in love with the game in the newbie missions, and as I ventured into the game proper each new ship was precious to me. Until I got ganked at a gatecamp in my shiny new Destroyer. I then twigged to the game mechanics, and something inexpressible was lost - ships now became disposable, no longer felt like amazing, mighty things with crews I had to keep alive. Game mechanics peeping through like this are, again, for me, immersion-breaking.
The reasons I keep coming back:
1) It's the only internets spaceships MMO in town, and I actually like the universe CCP have designed, and the spaceships they've designed. I like the names of the star systems, I like the invented cultures, the history, etc., etc.;
2) It's one of the deepest and most complex games around (e.g. things like the multitude of factors involved in whether your guns hit and how you tank; the layers of skills and planning required; the fact there's always something to look forward to and plan ahead for);
3) It doesn't require me to be at the computer to progress skills (an important factor for me, as I may have days when I can't play);
4) It's the only internets spaceships MMO in town.
From this the reader may gather that if there was an internets spaceships game as deep as EVE but without the (for me) immersion-breaking gankbear bias, I'd go for it like a shot. But somehow I doubt there will be for a long time. Hence, I tolerate the stuff I don't like for the sake of the stuff I do, and trust that eventually I'll be skilled enough to make the gameplay work for me the way I want it to.

For me:
It's the only space MMO out there.
EVE has alot of problems and the community really gets my goat alot, but where else can I go mine asteroids or blow up things in space?
If Blizzard or anyone else makes a space MMO I would no doubt cancel my sub and give it a shot, and I don't think i am alone.

Command ships.

I'm about to freak out, I can't believe I'm this close.

Nice Job!
I started with Caldari: learn to fly Hac and Command Because I don't want to be pushed in to 0.0 again, I didn't have the need to learn Dread or Carrier. So instead I learn Minmatar Ships/ now working on Amarr I believe EVE has pushed me into Amarr TBH

1) Sandbox 2) No "end game" 3) Feels Epic like a space opera 4) NPC's have minimal role in the universe 5) Ridiculously bright, creative community 6) Skill training is offline 7) Player controlled market 8) Player controlled space 9) Everybody together in 1 universe, feels like I know some of you 10) The devs are not pussies
