This.
Its really sad. I fell in love with eve after my 2nd day in, when i followed autopilot though rancer, and was outright ganked, taunted in local and all my **** stolen.
Eve is one of the very VERY FEW games in existance that actually have ruthless PVP. The only other games that come close to it are old MUDs, and maybe Neverwinter Nights on one or two custom servers.
Its sad that this is now changing, to appeal to an audience that already has a plethora of games available to them. And those of us who flocked to eve because of its ruthless nature are now being replaced by players who would be better suited to Hello Kitty Online.
What made eve successful in the first place? it was the brutal pvp. The lawless nature of space.
Now that is slowly being replaced, because the devs want to appeal to more gamers. But is it working? I see average of 20k players online now. I remember years ago it was 30-40k. I dont think taking an old brutal game and putting diapars on it is going to make it more successful.
You should appeal to the audience that made eve successful to begin with. Not change the core game to appeal to a whole different demographic. Keep eve brutal, and appeal to the WOW-types with the new games you're making, like Valkyrie or GunJack

The complaint isnt that he wants CCP to CHANGE it for him. The complaint is CCP has already been CHANGING it for YOU. It was never this flowery. It was never supposed to be.
Imagine if the Quake or COD devs changed their games to require an agreement before entering into combat with another player. And then people like you showed up and told all the old players they need to stop trying to change the game to suit them. lol.
