This sums it up. No matter how good the players are they can't do anything, they just have to spend a year docked in a starbase learning skills. This is probably the top fail of CCP.

Except Eve isn't chess. You don't get better at chess when you get older. Only some 5+ year old characters like to think it chess when they look at their wallet filled from mining or when they scam new players that have no clue what they are doing.
New players are "afraid" of starting this game because CCP made it so. Eve right now is like the Roman empire after they finished their expansion, they are building walls around it and try to keep what they have( old players) without getting new player. No dev ever asked new players what they think about the game.
Sooner or later somebody will take the good parts of this game without the bad ones and make a game that will cannibalize the Eve player base. Think Star Trek online with the Eve player driven economy and not griefers in the secure areas.
Bottom line is: I just want to take a look at the game for a month or two because you probably need like a year of play to say you actually joined the game. |

I don't think it's fair to call it a failure of CCP. They've created a game for a demographic. People who get it enjoy the game. People who don't won't. It's not a failure of CCP that (potentially) you are not their target market.
Oh, no, it's not their failure they made a game/manage this game is such a way that it fails to attract new players.
But then again maybe I should listen to the 5-6 year old players, the game will be cool by the time the calendar shows 2020. |

Here is another reason new players don't get into this game:

All this "Ace" does is kill and pod new players in the start region despite been a ban offense from what I understand. What does CCP do? Nothing. Oh, wait, they do something, write some EULA they don't follow.
One player kills dozens of new players, oh well, they are new players so it's not our problem |

This is what will kill Eve maybe not today. Think of this game like a country that has too many old people and too few new people.
CCP's problem isn't market balance or ship balance, they don't have a way for new players to catch up. It's some company saying: we have excellent support for customers! Aha, nice, what are you doing for your new customers? CCP's answer would probably be: too few new customers to wary about them.
For example, the all knowing players that are around for 5,6,7 years have a problem envisioning how this could be fixed(too much Eve?). Simple, new characters could get some larg research boost until they to the average SP the players have now in the game.
