> Because you dont (rarely) have to listen to anyone going "how do I get drones to work" every 5 minutes or "buy your ISK here" constantly
I spent 2 hours today helping new players help understanding things the tutorials dont explain. I've made most of contacts from being that guy who answers the questions, or suppies advice. Isk spammers are on an all time low. Maybe one or two a day and they die pretty fast.
> Cant launch a POS
There's no moons worth mining, and plently of cost effective BPC's available on contracts.
> Can't declare war on anyone
People I would want to Dec, I just wait till they go into low sec, 0.0, or trick them into aggression.
> Will generally be disregarded as a noob by anyone in EVE who is in a player corp
I dont really care what people who don't know me think of me. As in life, you can rarely judge a book by its cover.
> Because you can meet like minded people and do stuff together
I do have like minded people I run with. They cover all time zones aswell, so there's always someone to interact with.
> Because one day you can sublime to 0.0 and claim a bit of it as your own
I would get no benefit from owning anything in 0.0, there's nothing that attracts me to 0.0 other than PvP, which I dont need to own any of 0.0 for. Infact no owning any means I can PvP on my own time, when I can afford to.
> Because this game isnt called missions are us, theres lots to do and you simply cant do some of it in an NPC corp
What can I not do in a NPC corp that a Player corp can ?
> Because despite what the naersayers would have you believe joining a player corp does not equal an instant wardec
I already know this, I've roamed around area's of low sec and 0.0 and even afked uncloaked at a gate perfectly safe. I would hardly draw attention to myself, I'm not a profitable target, I doubt many casual players are worth the war dec.
> You'll shortly be paying 11% tax and most player corps charge 10% or less
This is hardly a problem, the way the 11% applied wont affect anyone. Its a 5 minute code change CCP really hasn't bothered to research. It simply wont have the affect they think it will.
> you dont benefit from any corp schemes, my corp offers at cost t1 ships, mission nights with a weekly reward being paid to the best, jump clones, research POS access, and lots of corps offer other cool stuff to members
Ships are already close to cost on the market, I also have access to players who will sell me t2 at cost + small profit, much less than market. I have JC's and if I didn't have the standings to do so there are several corps that offer them. Nothing I could get from a POS that the market does not supply. The price is rarely too much for the lack of effort.
If you say you often get a few people together, get those few people together in a corp and do your thing, you might find you enjoy it.
Nothing restricts me doing anything with people not of my corp.
Oh and we also are recruiting 
Everyone is recruiting 3 year old NPC corpers :P
A: You are trolling as you already had your answers ready when you asked you question, as in you had a closed mind. So tut tut.
B: You are basing your answers on a pre-Dominion premise that corp sovereignty means nothing. You do keep up with current affairs don't you?
C: The scariest thing about your responses is this: "I spent 2 hours today helping new players help understanding things the tutorials dont explain". My God, what nonsense have you filled them with?
It all boils down to choice. And the first few respondants made it quite clear. If you don't want to join a player corp, you really don't have to. It's a non-issue. Don't try to make it into one.
Back at you, sweetpea.
