OK, you lost me at forced. In a voluntary situation like a sandbox videogame players who don't want to go along with your vision of how the game should be played will simply opt out or leave. You simply can't make players who wish to remain solo join groups no matter how "noble" the goal of interaction may be.
When the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around.

There's pvp?
ISK doubling is real too. Tinfoil hatters will tell you it's just a slick way to RMT but don't believe those lies. |

I'll try to dig up the source but basically CCP stated that iterating on mission content was really hard because they had horrible tools for it. There was no simple way to create NPC's and designing a mission area uses the same tools/interface as anchoring a POS (which, if you haven't done... would be a nightmare).
They've talked multiple times recently in various places (dev blogs, CSM minutes) about how they have been making significant improvements to these tools under the hood. As an example, burner missions were one of the first things they did with the new NPC authoring tools, from what I understand. So basically they are doing the unsung groundwork of bringing infrastructure to a state where they can actually start making progress on the content finally. So, hopefully SoonGäó.
Basically it's the same as the state of sov... they've said repeatedly they can't even begin addressing sov before tackling the huge and less sexy problems around ancient POS and corp code. |

I think a lot of this is tongue-in-cheek. Don't get on the high horse quite yet.
