I don't disagree with the OP, I think making a PvE content challenging should be a design goal but the truth is that Eve is a PvP game. When this game was released the design spoke for itself. "Here is some PvE to learn to play the game, when your done, use your knowledge to PvP". I don't know if CCP ever came out and said it in so many words, but as it is PVE is only challenging up to a certain point. Once you skill up enough and learn how to tank, fly your ship and in general fly well, PvE content becomes easy for you. Take a 3 day old nub to a low sec asteroid and they won't even be able to survive a simple rat fight.
So its just perspective but your view that PvE content is easy is one of an experianced player that has learned to handle it. PvE in WH space is a walk in the park for me, most of the time I'm watching a movie, talking to my friends on the phone and casually changing targets when stuff pops. So for all the talk that WH is hard, as a 6 year old character for me its already become a rather automatic, non threathning place.
I think Eve is a PvP game, PvE content and everything else really is their to use to make ISK, learn the skills of the game both as a character and player and than eventually starting thinking about how you are going to apply those skills to the real game out in low sec and null sec. If your in this game without that appriciation and goal, what you are going to discover is that in many ways as a PvE only player this game is not really any different than World of Warcraft. Once you get all the dope gear, get all your ship maxed and learn how to play well, it becomes quite easy.
People who don't PvP in Eve to me are really just victims and thats usually what they sound like when they discover that like it or not everyone has to PvP sooner or later in Eve. They cry about it and get upset and I often ask them very nicely. Why do you play Eve if you don't want to PvP? What did you think was going to happen when you start a corp with a reputation of not being able to fight yet knows how to earn ISK. Of course people will war dec you, they want easy victims and they want your ISK.
To me this is all obvious stuff, I find it hard to believe that their are people out their that still play Eve under the impression they won't have to PvP.
