"Personally, I’m not interested in playing a video game without a good story, that is mostly a collection of systems and mechanics."

+1

CCP should notice that Eve is populated by also PVE oriented players which want solo entertainment. MMO should not mean you are forced to stick in groups in order to play, it should mean that you are surrounded by other ppl and not only by AI.
I understand that solid PVP content must be in development but seriously - leaving PVE outdated is a simple way of losing a lot of playerbase which is happening right now (and dont tell me about server statistics. I saw 40K+ ppl usually on TQ few years ago, now is half of this number).

I want a story, i want to be part of something huge and epic and i dont care about nullsec drama, voice comms and lowsec and hisec assholness.
My hisec corp suffered constant wardecs and this mechanics is broken. I know Eve is all about asholness, being an as-hole is cool and all (really? LOL) but if Eve will continue towards this direction it will lose more players.
Recently 2 of my friends started playing and resigned after 1 month. In the past - i invited 6 more ppl into Eve and they all had not stayed in Eve for long. As i said - not all players are interested in PVP fleets and null drama and hisec is in constant danger by assholes. If its by design - its bad design. If someone want some risk they venture into WHs, lowsec and beyond but empire space should remain safe at least on corp-to-corp level.

Please, remodell all hisec content, splitting PVE content from PVP. They both could interact at some level but having "high security space" not secure at all is bad for Eve and this is one of reasons why playbase is in constant decline.


EDIT:
Ah and i almost forgot: NEW ICONS in space are ugly and unreadable. Why its been changed? I cannot clearly see which wreck is full and which one is empty, ship icons are also similiar.
I'm graphic artist in RL, and i honor a good job with Eve overall but those icons are step back.

CCP Seagull why it decreased the number of people in the game ?

Maybe you should be fired?

Regarding new player attraction.....
The recent sp addition for new players is nice but I think more should be done. Skills regarding small t1 ships such as frigates and destroyers, along with all basic support skills should all receive lower multipliers, while the ones regarding bigger hulls should suffer the opposite change by being harder to train. Its quite painfull to wait for a full month or more just to acquire some untrained racial t1 frig with all the related skills to at least level 4 or just to shift to a completely new weapon system.
Another thing that I have noticed is that there are no good isk opportunities for small craft apart from fw, even if these envolve some risk. Lowsec gas nebulas are scattered across a few systems and are far from being a common sight (the cytoserocin ones), which is perhaps the only profitable ressource to mine with a venture. Loot from exploration sites is also kinda poor in low.
Also, I think the MTU module should be removed. That would allow new players to gain some isk on abandoned wrecks left by the mission runners (might sound irrelevant but it isnt), not to mention that the lack of the "pocket noctis" would be most beneficent for the economy.

I also vote for nice, animated login screens (big return of these) instead of blank static screens and useless launcher (im sorry, its not useless, im forced to run it if Eve needs to be updated).

Please, bring back those shiny, awesome loop-animated login screens with music..
