You seem to labor under the notion that Eve has anything at all in common with FPS games, DayZ and so on. The only damn thing Eve has going for it is exactly that it is a niche game doing things differently than the rest of the pack. Risk, permanent history and everything being a vulnerable asset is exactly why Eve is worth playing at all. You risk your stuff exactly because it’s a risk. That risk massively increases the satisfaction and rush of success.
The Eve Shakes? They’re a very real thing and they’re the one defining part of Eve that no other competitive game can even begin to replicate.
Frankly, if you find that risk to be a problem you really should just sod off and play DayZ or whatever the hell you prefer, because you are very much in the wrong game to start with. Imagine for a moment removing the risk. The precious sandbox you’re talking about? It dies the moment said risks disappear, because the sandbox relies entirely on things having value. Space, resources, assets, even knowledge. All of these things have value, because they are finite, desired and at risk of being destroyed. Remove that, and you remove the entire reason for the sandbox to even exist.
Why gather materials and components when there’s no value to it? Why build when there’s no value to it? Why grow an Empire if there’s nothing of value to it?
All those other types of games you’re referring to are transient experiences for a reason. They have no permanence or inherent value that doesn’t go up in smoke at the end of the round or the next server reset and so on. Everything you’ve done up until that point becomes pointless, and you get to start all over with blank papers and new crayons.
Eve doesn’t work like that. Never will.
Introducing threat, chaos and shaking up the sandbox can only have one long-term result in Eve: All those things we put value on? The value increases. The motivation to build things, group together in teams and face the stress of danger goes up.
… and some weaklings like you will fail and wither away, because you don’t even understand what a sandbox even is.
