Compared to 12 months ago average player numbers online has declined from 36,000 to 25000-28000. It would seem eve is in a decline as it gets older.
Is there a recent drive behind the numbers of players loosing interest in eve perhaps elite dangerous multiplayer beta with its promise of more solar systems and a less restrictive playstyle.
or are there other issues and what can ccp do to pull this decline back

the battlecruiser nerf no doubt has something to do with at leasat the partial decline, some of the improvements are good but on the ohter hand. Nerfing low sec and some parts of 00 and the recent moves to boost high sec are having an effect |

Well... it is still summer too. The online player count tends to suffer a bit until bad weather starts to roll through the northern hemisphere. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.

Clearly the solution here is bringing back the loot spew mechanics that was recently removed. Explorers have been crying about it ever since they removed it.
We also need to BUFF highsec and make nullsec highly unlivable and make sure concord shows up every time someone locks someone up. |

yes the ease of high sec ganking is an issue, leave high sec and buff low sec is the key. The loot spew mechancis should be reimbursed also. Null sec is fine. Ease of access between low and high is easonable esp with wh mechanics |

While I agree with some of your points it is in my humble opinion that nullsec should be nerfed. Make bounties only give 5% of what they are currently giving out and make highsec incursions drop revenant BPC's everytime the mom is popped and have all sansha ships drop deadspace and officer mods everytime they pop. We also need to make nullsec accessible via wormholes and nothing else. Of course only C1 holes will connect to nullsec. Also make pirate NPC's in nullsec have a cynojammer up every time.
CONCORD on the other hand needs more buffs. If someone is suicide ganking an innocent ship they should bring logistics to repair the said ship and make response times 0 seconds. We also need to make sure highsec is safe so all -10.0 players will be perma banned from EVE for being evil despicable psychopaths in real life that would kick puppies for profit. Also make shooting someone in highsec incur bigger sec status hits like - 3.0 sec status hits for locking up someone. |

Simple equation, more leave then are coming in. But hey, still no reason to improve the new player experience.
Stale content is stale. With no big battles or "emergent" player created content CCP has nothing to promote. At some point they will have to create something on their own...but let's not look at that track record.
So stand by for improved visuals of current content and more items for the store (which consists of improved visuals for current content).
"Hey, you made my wormholes prettier. Take my money!" This thread has so much content it may be 'Thread of the Year' and it is only January.

*kinks* (: One day does not a weekly average make. And, yes, I too have noticed a decline. I think the stat on this is eight percent. Such numbers do matter to businesses. An eight percent decline in usage is a matter for great concern.
I predict it will continue as the people with low intelligence, short attention spans and sociopathic tendencies are catered to by management at the expense of the more tenacious (with greater earning power) and dedicated gamers who like to think, and plan. . . with a longer sense of time span. 'T is the way of things. EVE is not immune.

The main reason I haven't been playing is my MDD has gotten substantially worse to the point where I sleep all day. I tried doing a level 4 a week ago and literally couldn't reach fast enough to survive.
RIP ishtar
I think ~real life~ is the number 1 reason people take a break from eve.

Posting in a stealth "EVE is dying" thread....
According to all you chuckleheads, EVE has been dying for nearly 12 years. With the condition she's in, right now, whatever she's dying of is going to take another 50 years to finish her off, at this rate. That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right... |

You can't say it's just "summer". The numbers for this summer are lower than the previous summers.
Banning Erotica1 killed the fun for many people. It destroyed one of the key differentiations between Eve and all the other MMOs out there.
It just seems to me that there are fewer stories about heists and villainy these days. Eve is turning into a generic MMO.

The facts are since I have been playing in 2010 eve has not gained, but lost players every year. Players can't even stay connected to the game for more than a couple hours at a time for 2 months now, see https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=374966&find=unread.
It won't be long before pvpers like me won't stand for taking ship losses every single play session for months due to CCP's relaxed attitude to the game breaking connectivity issues. We have been experencing this for several weeks now without any compensation or any real commitment to fixing the issue, if that's not a sign of eve coming to an end I'm not sure what is. Sure there are plenty of people that sit docked, troll the forums, or just manage their skill queues that won't care; but when people can't pvp and actually play the game without constant disconnects there is a real problem. |

Instead of CCP hiring network technicians to make sure their players can actually use the service they pay for, they are laying off, or not paying their devs enough to keep them from moving to other game companies. Possibly because there is no issue CCP can fix. You know, it not being anything to do with their server code.
Quit your whining in every thread, the disconnects aren't that bad. Is it sometimes annoying, sure. Might you loose the odd thing, sure. Do you loose something every single time.... If the answer is yes you are doing things wrong already. |

Then why would they say this "Our teams have been working tirelessly to address these attacks, but by their nature they are extremely difficult to predict. We will continue to counter these attacks as they occur, in our efforts to provide you as much uninterrupted internet spaceship fun as possible. " In the post I mentioned if there was no way to fix or counter this issue?
They simply don't have enough network technicians to address this problem. Instead of hiring more they are laying off countless employees. They expect that mindless players like you will keep playing regardless of this game breaking issue and you probably will. However active pvpers like me that play the game every day likely won't. |

Post with your main or **** off. I know dozens of active PVP'ers that are doing just fine, and I am one myself. You, on the other hand, have no KB record to speak of, so who the **** are you that you speak for me or anyone I know? Don't insult his intellect with a forum alt that does nothing but post angry lies, and you've given us no reason to believe you are as active as you claim.
