Coming back from having quit eve for a while.
The reasons lie within the really bad player-gm interaction.
The lack of proper refunds given the game difficulty and buggy/difficult user interface.

So I've been playing GuildWars amongst other things for the simple
reason that it is easy to get into pvp.
Its easy to learn about the game without spending ages - but sure
it is a different game.

First off, we need to make small pvp possible, outside of big gangs
and blobs.
1 vs camp, 1 vs blob, 1 vs gank are all not fair - sure they're kills
but it also kills people's interest.
We can't really take them off the game, but we should figure out
more ways for people to have fun with their ships, 1v1 2v2 3v3 and so on.
Maybe an organized dueling "mode" place, you name it.
Every empire system should have one, just for entertainment.
Even with free ships to pvp in (cheap tech 1 fun?).

Secondly, why can't you implement a way to automatically
buy the items you need for a said "build" and fit them to your ship?
You can then have a template system for fittings, and people
could exchange them. I would recommend making a GW account just
to learn a few things about the ease of these templates.
The amount of time it takes to PREPARE to have fun in eve is
simply ridiculous, we need to reduce that.

I would also like to see general UI improvements, makings things more
intuitive and safe from common mistakes.
I've lost 3 clone sets because I couldn't figure out how this system
works. It wasn't obviously documented anywhere - should people go
asking for information?
No, in my opinion information should be intelligently be presented
to the user through the interface.

I may be adding more to this, other similar ideas are welcome in this
thread. Please keep it to useful.
