If you want that question to be answered, you're asking the wrong people. Ask the Eve Online players, not CCP. The Eve players have had to wait 10 years to see most of the stuff they were waiting for.
And don't give me that "it's because Eve is an MMO" crap. Just like trolls compared Dust as an incomplete game to other first-person shooters like CoD, MAG, Halo, PS2, etc., there were an endless number of people who once compared Eve Online as an incomplete game to Earth & Beyond, World of Warcraft, etc. and many Eve players were not happy about having to wait 5 years for half the stuff to be finished for a game that was already released let alone wait an entire decade.
As an Eve player myself I would say that the incentive is the open market that will eventually arrive, the metagame that is encouraged, possibility of connecting more with Eve Online through Dust, the possibility of having our own player-run elections for the future Council of Planetary Management (CPM).
But of course, CCP has to put in more effort to make that happen and the current CPM has to keep up the pressure on CCP to make sure things are happening according to the players. |

There are two kinds of players that leave.
Those that leave because they just want everything handed to them on a silver platter but it's not happening.
And those that leave because of legitimate concerns.
It's the latter reason that I worry about. |

If EVE is so good, then why doesn't it get played by a bunch of people? How can a game that is so perfect only have a few 1000 players on it? Because: good, or bad, CCP struck out with its playerbase and they got sick and tired of being lied to and strung along with propaganda.
First, there are tens of thousands of players online at one any given hour and the subscription has grown beyond the population of Iceland, literally. But numbers don't make a great game.
Two things make Eve Online so great.
1. Eve Online offers a level of complexity that challenges the players in ways that even draw the attention of real would economists, real world diplomats, accountants, Wallstreet day traders, statisticians, mathematicians, and even university professors who specialize in economic and social studies. Think about that.
2. The community provides so much content in terms of third party software and services (all free) thanks to the public API system. There is also the metagame that the community flourishes on.
This fostered a very healthy system that made Eve great. |
