No, its been a trend with wow for years. It was more severe recently because they didnt release an expansion for longer than usual. Supposedly because they were focusing on other games.

Then yes, non-progression would keep a demographic unsubbed.

"SP is helpful for the game?" Here's all of the research on motivation -- it says the opposite! What purpose does it serve, then? Starter corps are non-competitive. Sov is unchallenged. "Fix sov!" you say? Remove SP.

And apparently half the eve population again.

EVE FAQ "7.2 CAN I AVOID PVP COMPLETELY? No; there are no systems or locations in New Eden where PvP may be completely avoided"

It's neat that the discussion can promote such insight. If there has been mention of statistics for this, it would be helpful that they're shared.

One idea is checking this and other MMO "PCUs" for their placement with content scheduling. For games like WoW (as mentioned), the trend is pretty obvious.
