EVE is my mistress of 6 years this august 1st.
First off EVE is a PVP game. PVE in EVE will ultimately lead you back to PVP in some form. For some PVP never goes past market PVP where you are in economic PVP. This is fine for many people. Actually, this is fine for probably 50% of EVE's player base, probably more. Probably a good majority of those people also would play EVE if there was no market PVP, as they are true carebears in that they do not want to interact with other players. They play EVE because its more actively developed than X3.
However, that is a pitiful way to play EVE imo because you are neglecting the game as a whole. Player versus Player combat, or even just the threat of it, makes the game more enjoyable.
EVE isn't a game where you can do what you want, when you want and how you want. There are consequences to your actions just like in real life. You die, you loose your stuff and have financial consequences such as your clone and implant cost to consider as well. And this is where most people quit the game after dying and go post on forums how they hate EVE, CCP and player versus player combat on the *gasp* internet.
EVE is far deeper than anyone here can tell you. It has some pretty epic PVE as well but you don't get carte blanch access to it based on any rat race you could have on your own merit. You will have to socially engineer yourself into a position because people fight for resources in EVE. Some do this by raising up members of like minded people who will go fight over an area some will join existing. Some people will do what we call NINJA'ing where you find something using a covert ops then you do something under the nose of people who'd normally be using resources.
The skies are the limits with EVE, and visa versa. It can be harsh. It can be time consuming. It can be an orgasm digitized. It can be the most satisfying game ever played. If it is not for you then it's not for you. But if you can peal the gripes away and see it for what it is then you might be genuinely surprised to find a game that you will compare every MMO to.
