Not sure where you get this crap from but you’re completely wrong.
The decline in numbers over the years is due to CCP over-simplifying everything and changing Eve’s core gameplay concept into a scripted theme-park instead of what it was originally, a sandbox where players had freedom of choice to do what they wanted. CCP has constantly nerfed solo game-play content while focusing Dev resources into forcing players to do more group game-play content.
As for PvP vs PvE, over the years CCP has buffed PvP game mechanics a lot more than PvE game mechanics, all due to pandering to people like you.
