Explain the logic behind that. From what I understand, the open-world video game model brings complexity with it. And of course, a lot of content. So if you wanna get LOGICAL... LOGICALLY, I would assume that it is in CCP's best interest to offer gamers as much GAME as possible. Okay... here is the logic behind it:

EVE is a sandbox, so I should be able to do whatever I want, right? EVE is indeed a sandbox, however it is a Multiplayer Sandbox.
The definition of a sandbox is not "I can do whatever I want", it is that rather than providing a specific experience, the game provides an environment and tools with which to craft your own experience.
For single-player games, these definitions are functionally the same. The problem with a multiplayer sandbox is that not only can you do whatever you want, so can everyone else. You want to mine in highsec in complete peace? The game lets you. It's the other players that are the problem.
The hypocrisy of demanding the freedom to do what you like, while simultaneously demanding or celebrating the curtailment of other people's playstyles should be self-evident, but apparently it's not.

Also... EVE's Official New Player FAQ pretty much spells it out.
On page 22:
Quote:The essential core concept of EVE Online is that it is full time PvP in a sandbox environment. As has been mentioned in previous sections any player can engage another player at any time in any place. In high-sec space there may be consequences if a pilot attacks another without just cause, but they can still make that attack if they wish. In low-sec and null-sec, there are no limitations to PvP at all.
Quote:7.2 CAN I AVOID PVP COMPLETELY? No; there are no systems or locations in New Eden where PvP may be completely avoided.
How did you Veterans start?
