I hope i'm not too on topic with this, but i partly understand you. (omg a seriouspost)
New Eden as a whole is a sandbox and you're one grain of sand in it.
It took me two years to figure it out, but the only reason why people get bored in this game,
or not perceive it as sandbox, is simply because they are used to being consumers.
The "butterfly effect" is alive and real in this game, but one will never experience it,
unless he actively embraces it. To switch from consumer to creator, one has to interact with
people in a way that has impact onto their eve-life.
What saddens me ... and pisses me off at the same time ... is the fact that most people
don't even chose to be consumers ... they are so used to being one, they have no real choices.
You, too, can become a shovel ... just stop being sand. All the grains of sand in the sandbox continually
get moved and pushed around, while at the same time being totally ignorant about it and holding tight
to the stupid belief of individuality and "chosing my own path".
If you want an example ... for the miner, the ganker is a shovel. The miner refuses to accept that,
refuses to acknowledge the influence AND refuses to accept the world of possibilities the ganker
actually opens up for him ...
Stop being part of the sand ... start being a shovel.

That's because change can't come with words.
It only comes through action.
You can talk all you want ... it doesn't help. Especially not in form of text.
To gather masses, you need to transport emotion.
One can not easily transport/trigger specific emotions through text,
unless he's well trained and the circumstances fit.
I can tell from experience.
My own progress is slow too ... but people see me, people like me, (some hate me, but they don't really know me ^^)
and i went "OMG AWESOME" when people suddenly started COPYING my actions ...
To put this into a short sentence that actually concludes all that has to be known about this:
Monkey see, monkey do.
Okay ?
