Heres an honest response for you instead of rage.
EVE Online came out in 2003 when the MMO market was nearly non-existant and the gaming world was much more 'hardcore' in general. The gaming and MMO markets since then have inflated MASSIVELY and other MMO's have managed to appeal to the casual players by giving instant gratification, and drop-in drop-out content.
This cannot ever happen in EVE online, if CCP changed the game model to adapt to the current ADHD stricken casual playerbase of the modern MMO/Gaming market today, they'll completely screw over their existing customers and will have made the years that their dedicated 'hardcore' playerbase have invested completely wasted, in order to appeal to a larger casual audience.
CCP have nobly chosen to remain loyal to its playerbase so far and continue to produce content that appeals to its own 'hardcore' niche. I for one will leave this game and never look back if it gets too dulled down and the entry level is lowered too much. If I had to go through it... why shouldn't everyone else? |

You're asking for EVE to go the way of SWG.
Abandon the niche market, adopt conventional generic game-play, lose everything.
And your comparison of 'I had to go through it, so should you' to sexual assault is in poor taste. Its more like college or university. I'd be quite angry if my coworker was hired out of grade-school and made the same wages as I did. Those of you shitting on this argument don't seem to comprehend the idea of a right of passage. |

My suggestion was not to annoy anyone, but be constructive in letting newer players be introduced at a rate they would be comfortable with, but "you have convinced me.... you have finally convinced me." EVE is not new player friendly, and does not want to be, nor ever will be.
Congrats.
If your intention was not to troll, perhaps you should not have trolled. EVE is friendly to new players, but only to certain new players.
EVE is chess, you're looking for checkers.
