Then when once corp / alliance contracts another, the white knight corp / alliance agrees or refuses to join a war defending a bunch of newbies. At the end of the war, the newbie corp gets to rate the white knight corp and leave a comment. Just imagine giving the weak tools to get help? Shocking idea isn't it? 
Ganker group creates a fake white knight corp.
Ganker group creates several fake newbe corps (from alts)
Ganker group war decs fake newbie corps
Newbe corps give glowing reports of the fake white knight corp
Gankers use their fake white knight corp, that now looks wonderful, to herd a few real newbie corps like lambs to the slaughter.
Don't think it will happen? It already does. When a high sec corp gets a war dec, they also quickly get offers of assistance. A little research ( for those corps that actually do research) point to the potential allies being alts of the war deccers.

A few things bother me about CCP Rise's stats.
I know people who have quit eve right after losing a ship. My wife is one. But here is the issue:
None of those losses were due to a gank, or griefing.
None happened when the player was less than two weeks old.
CCP Rise's stats are interesting, but he may not be looking in the right place to see if there really is a problem.
I would like to know: How many stop playing right after a ship loss?
How many stop playing right after, or during, a prolonged period of war decs?
I hope we get to hear more about this.In the presentation, CCP did mention they were going to look at what happened to players just before they quit, to see if there were any patterns.

It is a competitive PvP sandbox so of course it makes sense for them to focus on the social (i.e. sandbox) and PvP aspects of the game.
Actually, that is not what CCP says. This is what they say:
CCP Ytterbium wrote:We often hear "EVE is a PvP game, PvE is secondary". To this we would like to respond that EVE is a sandbox and shouldnGÇÖt necessarily favor one side over the other. What you do with it is up to you: all player activities should feel as appealing and rewarding no matter which choice you take.

That heinous **** you said earlier, about how you consider it fine to grief people out of the game by spewing lies and misconceptions about PvP at them the moment you encounter them. That's about the most toxic mentality I have ever heard of.
I never said it was fine. I said it happens, and its a problem.
