I see where you are coming from OP and you are kinda right. If you are playing the game expecting the game to provide the depth, it's not gonna happen.
Think of it a book. You have the characters, the plot, and so you read the story and you either don't like the story or you are entertained by the story.
This is like most MMOs where there is a plot and your character makes up the characters in it. You play and follow along as a story unfolds before you. Slowly bringing you to the end game.
With EVE, it's different. You open this book and all you see are pages. Empty pages. There is no plot. The other characters are all other players. It's up to you to write your own story.
Think of the plot as being the depth that you speak of. Other games provide the depth but for EVE, the depth doesn't come from the game but rather from the players themselves.

Recently, we were wardecced just like the OP, and we had a corp meeting and decided to a) disband the corp and immediately recreate it, or, b) simply vanish for the duration of the DEC. We couldn't be assed to disband, too much cba involved. So we logged off our mains, and spied on the deccers. They knew us well, and there was approx 10 of them in our system at all times. To be fair we never heard of them before, or hadn't taken any notice of them.. anyway.. cut a long story short, we logged off for a week and played something else, and came back, and they had extended it, so we logged off for another week, and came back.. some had to log on to re queue skills, but we never gave them what they wanted. After the second week, they vanished and we came back. So really no skin off our nose, we just adapt. Also, we met up a few times during the weeks for beers and a laugh outside of the game, most likely when the deccers were still in pixel ships waiting for a non emergent corp to surface, whilst we enjoyed our steak and drinks in a beer garden.
Nah you should've logged in and AFK'ed in station. Kinda like holding up a piece of meat in front of a hungry dog that's at the end of its leash. |
