Said it better a long time ago in a post i can no longer find...
but, the reason mamy players stay in an NPC corp:
1. They were recruited into a player corp too soon in their eve-life, and not only didnt they have the skills to be there, no one else had the patience to put up with some one who literally couldnt even fit a web--or use ANY of the linked fits you used to help them. So, as a result, they associate player corps with incompetence, poor leadership, and lack of respect.
2. They joined a corp that was too small--no one was ever on to talk to or ask question to, and so they were playing alone anyway. When they left, and joined a NPC corp, a whole new world opened up, where there is always people on, and always a way to find out information if you need it. It's also vastly easier to do casual things with other people in an NPC corp if you choose to, from missions to pvp. Some NPC corps have a hard core group of pvprs, and it's fun that way.
3. Corps who recruit, try to do too much. We have all seen the ads. "you can mine, mission (4's in caldari space!), pvp. We're a WH corp with ties to null." ... just WHAT is that corp trying to do? If you like mining, you know you're going to be miserable. If you like low sec, they'll howl at you to get into a WH, if you're in a WH, they'll want you to roam null sec. There's no focus there, and no one wants to join something like that. a Good 90% of corp ads are like that.
4. Easier, once you reach a point, to do things yourself, from mining to lvl 4's. If you're in an NPC corp, you become accustomed to handling your own stuff, when you want to. If you're in a corp, a lot of the time (even more so the closer u get to nullsec), you're forced to WAIT for other people. I, for one, refuse to wait for anyone most of the time. I need a corp that either, doesnt plan anything--and can launch ops on the fly within a few minutes--or lets me join right in the middle of one. Or leave. Few corps do that.
5. I has literally nothing at all to do with war decs. Or taxes.
personally, i can do everything i ever wanted to, solo--i dont want to do incursions (and most corps dont have enough people or organization to do one either), i dont want to go to null to lose things i cant afford to lose (because i''m a filthy casual and dont want to grind isk with an alt, because doing it with the null character is banned by alliance), i have no interest in spamming d-scan every 5 seconds in a WH to mine some gas. I just want to log on, and go do something, and chat to people if i feel like it--and an NPC corp gives me exactly that.
That's why a lot of people stay there.
