People just don't get it do they?!
Maybe there are too many subtle political machinations going on in Eve for most players to grasp or understand. Maybe some of the events going on feel a bit clique-y, and other players feel that they can't join in.
But when all is said and done, I think Jade is right about her "polishing battleships" comment. Eve needs flux, and change, and it needs a massive war.
And lets not forget, war is terrific fun. And highly profitable too. And you'll make new friends to show your enemies, and vice versa.
War is good. War is fun.
Kitchener out!

There is a clear distinct schism in Eve between two banks of player types:
Firstly there are those that like acquiring things, making lots of money, have the best of everything and like shooting things randomly a la Doom. They view eve as a space game that you can shoot things in and make money. And it ends there. And thats fine.
The second group wants more from Eve - it was RP, storylines, player and GM lead events and content - metagaming.
The problems occur at friction points between the too sets of players. But this need not be a problem, as Jade points out. There can be some kind of reciprocal arrangement made in-game.
What gets tedious is all the mindless *****ing from both camps. There is room for both types of gaming and both types of players. A blend of both would make a great game even better. And I think that is what Jade is saying (I may be wrong).

Jade,
The problem is there's basically nothing out there for the very small corp or freelancer. Please don't just dismiss us like that, because there are quite a lot of us who've reached the stage where all that's left to do is join a large corp or pack it in.
Sustained PvP costs a lot of money, and you can't do it unless you've either got a huge pot of cash to burn ("I'll play for a few weeks then quit") or you've got people making the money for you ("I am in a big corp"). Piracy works perfectly well as long as you have a firepower advantage over your opponents ("I am a big corp, and we have some long-serving players"). If you don't fit the above categories, it's suicide.
If you want my full reasons, please contact me in game.

None of that is true. I am in a small corp and I have plenty to do, and we wage war pretty much fulltime. Sustained PvP does not cost much money, especially if you're clever. Convo me if your bored
