I'm in the experienced category with my main character in an NPC corporation. Only have the one character and not using alts. Onto the whys...
The player corp I was in effectively split when a large number of players went to 0.0 space, the Empire operations lost focus, most Empire POS were sold, corp started association with BoB, then I left due to boredom. Fell into an NPC corporation by default. There had been multiple WarDecs but they had absolutely no impact on why I resigned, they just made gameplay more interesting for me, and I don't think there was a WarDec active when I resigned (happened too long ago). Boredom and BoB association were the reason I left.
Sometimes look on the Recruitment channel but never found another Corp that syncs with my interests. I don't have TS/Vent, mostly play for short periods and can't guarantee when I will be available. Most Corps are too remote from my prefered area of operation, not in my timezone, or too juvenile.
Age and playing style are major factors. I did space empire Play By Mail using mark sense cards. Oldest hardware I attacked with a CRO and soldering iron was a B5500. So I'm not a good fit with the under 30 year olds.
Technically experienced with >25m but useless in PvP. Most of my ship losses are due to NPC activity not players. Last player loss was in 1.0 space where I lost 3 ships with all their T1 equipment. Wasn't concerned it allowed me to clear out old junk, hopefully boosted the other guy up the kill boards, losses did seem to upset some of the new players. I'm still using Frigate/Destroyer/Industrial/Miner ships, never flown a Cruiser (have the skill, never bothered), although I have flown one Battlecruiser (which I promptly lost to an NPC about 6 months ago), and will probably buy another Battlecruiser next year. So accumulating ISK or outstanding player rep on the kill boards are not my priorities.
Without a Player Corporation to join I'll remain in the NPC Corporation. So reason is not related to avoiding WarDecs, macro mining, using alts, or other insulting speculations.
