I have only quit because I could no longer play in the time I had paid for. I only see myself not playing if that happens again. Eve is the only mmorpg where you can afford to go afk for a month and still hold some ability to play. It's also avoids the niche that 90% of the modern mmorpgs hold where they force you to play every day for 6 hours at the least to stay at a level where you won't be a useless piece of Gou shi. I like my social life, it's purdy!

Now I'm not picking on anyone but I don;t see how you can rationalize that a game you have never played will be the saviour of mmorpg's. I mean really, all you've seen are screenshots at best and we all know that screenshots depict how good a game is  . True you may be in the World of Warcraft beta but if yuou were wth are you doing here, go play that game if you like it more. I don;t mean to poke fun or attack anyone is specific but if you like that game more why even post?
I do however agree that with the current setup the whole production part of eve is fubar. Because of the amount of work required to even start the most basic parts of that path I cannot be bothered. A definate fix is required. [(Base cost to rent*number of slots held)=rnet cost. Calculate once and that become the Base price for that person?]

My guess is if "Shiva" is not jawdroppingly fantastic and here quick-smart...
We already know it won't be till November (or very late October at best) and while one would hope that date doesn't slip it woudn't really be a shocker if it did. Don't know if that is quick for you or not.

the game that we bought on the shelves is finally comming out with shiva...atleast the one i wanted...this first year was pretty much a paid beta test...shiva (im betting a december release, the same time castor first came out) is gonna rock if its even close to what they say will be in it...and i plan on playing till all the roids have been mined atleast once

Not very much longer.
Too many skills, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy too long train. Then once they are trained and you get some benefit they nerf it.
The devs need to think more and do less...or at the very least think before they do.

The weirdest thing is that if you do quit the game, you find yourself drawn back to forums every once in a while and eventually you realise that the faults you perceived werent as bad as you thought, its only ~ú10 a month and promises so much for the future...until something better (thats space based) comes along there isnt any way im leaving again.
The other thing about eve is that unlike freelancer, privateer or elite there is no end-game, there will always be new stuff to buy/destroy and there is no one setup that can defeat everything (i hope).
On a similar topic, how would any other space-based MMORPG 'work' better than eve? So far all the major problems i've seen in my 1+ year playing are endemic to the balance between pve and pvp and so would apply to all MMORPG's unless they neglected one aspect. Often 90% of the annoyance i suffer are from people (on the froums) trying to turn this game into their own personal playground rather than an environment where lots of different play styles can be accomodated.

Well for me, my account subscription runs out some time in September and it wont be renewed. Ive come and gone about 5 times now since launch and come back hoping i can enjoy it but every time I do I realise its still the same old thing...boring. Just my opinion.

LOL it shocks me how many think that shiva will just drop a load content into game and fix the dev problem.
Id bet u dont see half shiva till this time next year just like castors content.

hey thanks for all the response, i see there are still a lot of hardcore fans to keep the game going for a while yet.
but since i started this thread, i guess im kind of entitled to hi-jack it too... those of you who are quitting, any chance i can have a disabled account with some decent sp? I'm finding it increasingly tempting to get an alt, and i dont want to make it from scratch. 
thanks

Eve is doomed...........
IS what I hear from some, not sure why though, yes it may not interest you anymore or hold your attention. For a player like myself who rattles through games at light speed when I get them and then put them up on a shelf to collect dust after a month or 2 at most Eve has held me captivated for over 14 months.
The game mechanics at times can be frustrating but then I guess all games online or single player have their obvious flaws.
What Eve has that goes beyond this is the community. Players of all types, nations, races and sex all wrapped into a united blanket called Eve.
Most of who appreciate what Eve has to offer and take enjoyment from it on a daily basis.
In the 14 months Eve has gone from strength to strength and I can see it continuing to do so.
Like one person said above 'It is only when you leave that you realise the issues are not as bad as you thought!'
I am here until the end........

It's all about the fortune and glory, fortune and glory!
