Then what?
Start your own corp, get bored and leave.
Or join a poorly run player corp, get bored and leave.
Or you might find a good corp and actually stay.
There is no reason to be forced into a player corp.
I've said this many times and I'll say it again, you can't force people to do what they don't want to do (especially in a game). Maybe one day that will sink in to those who try to do exactly that. At least then it would save me from having to say it anymore.
I think the pros outweigh the cons.
What is so exciting about NPC corps? The fact that you have no investment in the corporation and on real connection to the members?
Why does and MMO need that kind of players anyway? ... yeah, yeah i know: "because sandox!"
Nothing is exciting about an NPC corp, but then I've not always been in NPC corps. Finding a good corp is not an easy process though, although it's easy to find a bad one.
Solo players will mainly stay in an NPC corp some will make their own corps, but that's their choice. Problem with some corps is you end up playing someone else's game and not the way you want to play. Which is another reason some people stay in NPC corps. Some stay there because they don't want to combat PvP others stay there because of RL time constraints and the feel because of that it's not worth getting involved with a player corps and some player corps can be demanding on your time. Of course others just park their alts there away from war-decs. There's various reasons why people stay in NPC corps, plus the chat can be better than a solo corp and even better than some player corps.
I've said this before, that I've never seen a game that mixes PvP and PvE players do it successfully.
The main reason for that is the PvE players try to stay out of the way of the PvP players and don't dictate how the PvP players should play the game. But PvP players will always try to dictate how PvE players should play (not all PvPers) because those PvEers make such easy targets.
