Some ideas

First of all, I want to note what position I will expound. I play EVE for about 8 years, I tried all kinds of activities, and the alliance led CORP. Now stopped playing because bored with the game. Sometimes I go to fly in PvP with my friends. So I've seen how the game has evolved and can now look at it with fresh eyes. "

the game is to win I think if you add the following to it:

1) pvp and commercial ratings, based on the interaction with other players, which will be kept under review, take into account the data only for the last 1-2 weeks (similar to how it is done in starcraft)

2) add to the game PvE and PvP integration in the form of bonuses tied to these ratings. For example, for those who have a high ranking PvP - special mission by Concord more bounty, rewards for killing pilots in agro from Concord, etc. For those who have a high ranking trade - less tax on trading stations, some additional services (for example, so that you can view prices in other regions, etc.). Well you get the idea

3) improve the resolution textures on the planets to make them look more realistic

Original text in russian:

Прежде всего хочу отметить с какой позиции буду излагать. Я игра в ЕВЕ около 8 лет, попробовал все виды деятельности, руководил корпой и альянсом. Сейчас перестал играть, т.к. игра наскучила. Иногда захожу чтобы полетать в пвп с друзьями. Так что я видел как игра развивалась и могу теперь как говорится посмотреть на нее свежим взглядом".

На мой взгляд игра очень выиграет если добавить в нее следующее:

1) пвп и торговые рейтинги, основанные на взаимодействии с другими игроками, которые будут постоянно пересматриваться, учитываться данные только за последние 1-2 недели (по аналогии как это делается в starcraft)

2) добавить в игру интеграцию пвп и пве в виде бонусов, привязанных к данным рейтингам. Например: для тех у кого высокий пвп рейтинг - особые миссии от конкорда, больше баунти, награды за убийства игроков в агре от Конкорда и т.п. Для тех у кого высокий торговый рейтинг - меньше налог с торговли на станциях, какие-то дополнительные сервисы (например чтобы можно было смотреть цены в других регионах и т.п.). Ну вы поняли идею...

3) улучшить разрешение текстур на планетах, чтобы они выглядели более реалистично

I got bored of WoW, SWTOR, and many other games. You will eventually get bored of any game if you play it for 8 years.

CCP's focus should not be on retaining the 8+ year vets, it should be on attracting new players; for the simple fact that the vets get content by shooting the new players, and the new players get content by experiencing everything that CCP has already implemented.

1) With the impending Chinese integration, there should be a nice influx of new players (experienced ones at that, so doubly-good content)
2) With the impending alpha clone changes, assuming it works as intended there will be a new source of players

Adding new mechanics and ratings just leads to new abuses, without really contributing to the actual gameplay. You'd get bored of it quickly unless you're one of the 10 people in the top 10 vying for the top spot in full autism mode.

In Eve we generate our own content... but we need people to generate that content. I believe CCP's focus is in the right place. And while I totally wouldn't argue with better textures, it doesn't change the gameplay for most players - especially the experienced ones who generally fly completely zoomed out and are focused on the grid, not on the nearby planet. It's a nice thing for immersion, but again, boring.
