EVE needs new players. But new players can´t do PVP because of *** skill points and lack of knowlege how the interface works.
So they need to go for PVE. For making some isk first and for learning how the interface works.
But the PVE content in EVE is so much 2001. It is boring like hell, missions are terrible, mining is horrible....
It is exactly the reason why CCP scares most of the new players to hell. Or better: Bores them to hell.
PVE and Industry are the first what a new player will do his first months but CCP hasn´t cared for it over ten years now.
Yeah.... Although it doesn´t affect me I care a lot that this game doesn´t die because only old vets play it.
Should be highest priority to fix that.


Exactly. I did the CCP job by advertising EVE to my friends but most of the quit after couple of days. What EVe needs is more story behind it, a campain for each race and pve more like pvp: less ships, but more powerful, much higher risk on missions much more reward. It's not that hard. Really not long form now EVE players will just die of old age if u don't attract new players. Players who like games like CoD, BF and so on. The won't wait half a year to start having fun at EVE....

Oh god no! Please never attract those players to this game! NEVER!

Life is a bitch but she's totally doable. She may be a beauty but life, life is a bitch.

Actually I do play some other realism games that are quite hardcore. But EVE I play just to chill, enjoying the immersion of the EVE Universe and the pew pew. The fact that you can do what you want to in EVE and specialize in whatever you want to is great. Just the PvE aspect seriously needs an overhaul.

Incursions, should be the answer...

...but they are to few and to pointless.

**** No.
Incursions are for higher sp players. The newbies less than 6 months old bore their **** off with missions and mining and leave the game.

I would love to see some group missions in hisec.

I know in the past there have been L5s available in hisec, but was removed as being too......... whatever.

I think this would help the casual player have a richer experience.

Cheers!
