Please.
Right, because we want another WoW clone for which we would have to pay for new expansions, and Blizzard has time and resources available to devote to a competing product at a price that CCP can afford to pay, and Valve is actually interested in devoting time and resources to an MMO, something they have no experience with, as opposed to working on new games like Half-Life 2 Episode 3 et. al. Sorry, but I'm going to have to say "no".
Not only haven't you expressed any supporting arguments for such a proposal to be made, you haven't considered any of the implications of EVE being outsourced to another company for development. If anything, quality would probably decline rather than improve by adding third parties into the process, if that was your point.

Valve has no experience and no interest in developing MMO's. This lack of experience would lead to quality problems as they grapple with juggling two different genres at once.
Bizarre Creations was known for Project Gotham Racing. They were then tasked with making a 007 espionage shooter, with absolutely no experience in that genre. What happens when you force a company outside of its area of expertise? Failure. Bizarre Creations went under after the 007 game flopped. We lost a good company because of that.
I suppose you haven't experienced the many bugs that WoW has had over the years. Neither have I, to be honest, because I never played again after trying it for 7 minutes and 53 seconds. It's a boring, dull, mindless grind-fest of a game. But I've heard plenty of people moan and complain over bugs and balance issues that never seem to get resolved. Blizzard has more staff and more money; they can afford to have more people to work on fixing bugs as they arise.
CCP does not have that kind of money. They cannot afford to hire that many developers just for finding and fixing every problem that may arise. They cannot afford to pay Blizzard to do it for them because it amounts to the same thing. They have to go to war with the army they have right now, not the army they want or might have in the future.
Point being, it's unreasonable to think that outsourcing development for the sake of improving quality would even be a practical option for CCP. I won't stand here and defend the many bugs that seem to have gone overlooked for a very long time, or their blatant disregard for player testing and feedback. But outsourcing to another company isn't the solution to the problem.

New, buggy features do not attract as many new players as old, broken features turn away existing players. Don't dig yourself a deeper hole by creating new problems before fixing old ones. |

EA Bought Westwood, then they took Earth and Beyond and rammed it down the ****ter.
Just because Blizzard has WoW, doesn't mean they can do any good. It would shortly become a game of merchandise where you can pay lots of Cash to make your ships look pretty and then you won't lose ships. They'll go to a magical ship yard to respawn. Then they'll have annoying Really small scaled PvP that involves at most 25 people. Sov claiming will change to sitting with your thumb up yer ass for 5mins in a system. Do I need to go on? It'll be hell and wouldn't work. At All.
Please never make anymore Suggestions without at least thinking about it for a minute.
