Limited resources, space, minerals etc is what gets people fighting. Violence drives the economy.
Most people play Eve to shoot other people, normally for resources. Or they play to build stuff, mostly weapons, which they sell to the first group.
We are just getting to the part where things get interesting.

I want there to be a couple more NPC sov regions with easier empire access... kind of a half-way house between 0.0 and lo-sec.
I'd like to see low sec just made a bit more profitable. Right now people either grind missions in high sec or go to 0.0. I live in low sec and it's bloody quiet, some days I nearly have to mine my own minerals to make ammo.
Where did all the low-sec miners go?

The problem is though, that EVE is so small that everyone and their grandmothers jumps in to help buddies, making it a gigantic blobfest. Making EVE larger, could spread the players out more, and perhaps could help local counts of 3-500+.
Now ofcourse there are game mechanics that are encouraging blobs, like warp bridges, POS warfare as we know it. However making the game bigger could possibly help spread out the population, a population that CCP wants to be over 300.000 as the next goal.
Obviously it has it's downsides aswell, but at the moment, as a potential 0.0 pilot/corp member, you will end up being Pro-BoB or Pro-RaGoon as it is right now. Would be great to have some areas where those who are not really caring about this conflict could fight out their own battles. Ofcourse, if new regions will be "free" of current politics between the big guns is debateable. Drone region certainly didn't.
I don't think blobs are to do with the amount of space available. Increase the space and you just have larger gaps between the blobs.
The rest I agree with. In time we will need more space but that time is not now. Maybe after the great war has been decided or after faction warfare has run for a time. Then again who knows what will happen. Most large powerblocs turn on themselves once they have nothing left to prey on.
I reckon it could be interesting to see how things go in the fishbowl for a bit longer.

Or sheep are acting like people. Yeah, you can laugh but you just wait until they invent lasers.
