The dwindling hope that they'll fix the things that are broken.
UI, jita, skill queue, racial imbalances....

EA Games torpedoed Earth and Beyond
SOE royally screwed over SWG customers.
Short on options, thus I am here, for the time being. Until CCP makes a similar mistake or something better comes along perhaps.

Well I used to love Elite way back on the old BBC Micro - nuff said.
Same, except for me it was Frontier: Elite II. Since then I'd longed for something like EVE...

buxaroo:
"Hardcore sci-fi"? Don't make me laugh.
The game would be a lot more believable if it was marketed as a submarine simulator. Spaceships with a maximum sensor lock range of 250km? Top speeds? Ships banking like aircraft? Deceleration if you don't keep the engine going? Planets, stations and other celestial objects that never move? Artillery weapons that hit the target instantaneously?
Added to that the uncomfortable half-way house CCP has chosen - that anyone who feels like it can blow you up and suffer only minor legal consequences and virtually zero financial ones, and you only have 15 minutes to get your revenge - makes EVE much less than perfect.
I can understand the physics unrealism. But I cannot understand why it makes any sort of RP sense for the insurance companies to pay out when you get blown up by the cops after committing piracy and/or murder. Talk about immersion breaking!
It seems to me that CCP are deliberately, and with malice aforethought, encouraging behaviour that in any other game whatever would get one banned. As well as that, there are no consequences whatever in game for being a criminal, given the widespread use of trading alts.
What could be done? Quite a few things.
1: No insurance for Concorded ships.
2. 1-week kill rights, assignable to others, for the aggrieved party in an unprovoked attack.
3. Ability to choose who one will trade with on the market and in the contract system, based on personal/corp standing and security status.
4. Known associates (alts out of RP, second account or otherwise) of low security levels share that individual's sec status. (After all, known associates of convicted criminals don't usually have a very good rep in RL.)
5. No clone contracts or docking rights in Empire for serious criminals (sec -5 or less) - anywhere in Empire. You're a pirate - deal with pirates for what you need. And pay through the nose.
I am fully aware that a majority of players of EVE are not actually spotty, juvenile adolescents making up for their own insecurities by making others' lives ingame hell. However, far too many of them act like such an individual would, and CCP appear to like it that way. When another half-decent space MMORPG comes along, I'm off - unless things change a lot.
