Why does Eve online have such a low player base ?

Is it because of the hard learning curve , or is it that new players do not like to stare at good looking ships for 6 months before they can use it. Or is it that pvp needs a change , not just a click and wait affair , not just show up with more ships than the next guy or hope my 400 mil isk ships matches up with this guys 2 bil isk ship ?

Why is it that games like SWTOR instantly grows to a player base of over 1 mil in less than a montth and WOW have over 10 mil subscribers , but EVE online does not grow that fast ?

Must be the lack of shoulder pads in EVE.

EVE is a game with risk and requires you to think and have a spine as well as an imagination.

Most of the people who play WoW and SWTOR do not have these qualites.

Because there is no gold ammo. Come on CCP, give us our gold ammo. You know we want it. Pirate

Yay 10 years! :D

Really, there's no need to duplicate your post made in a similarly-titled thread by creating a separate thread.
