I also played Eve-O for a time and that was interesting. Stopped after the corp I joined got hostily taken over and everything was stolen. That was funny, but I just kinda realized that the game wasn't all THAT fun. Kinda like work. =/
Yeah, that's one of the problems that is inherent with the game, especially with the larger corps, all of a sudden merely playing for fun becomes secondary to meeting your contracts etc. I hated the idea of coming home from a day of work only go hunting materials or goods for another corporation.
It's like piracy, I've heard people suggest that Eve have a non-PvP server, but because of the way the Market and Industry works, it would cripple the game, personally I'm not all that bothered for the main part, though people who exploit the game in order to commit piracy in safe sectors get on my nerves.
I've personally never been caught out, but I know people who have, and simply saying 'Well, you'll know better next time' isn't really an excuse. Same as WoW a lot of people tend to forget it's supposed to be a pastime I think.
Still, enough *****ing, I sound like I hate the game, and I don't, it's great, just has a few niggling problem, but what game doesn't?
Edit : Yay! I've joined the 10K club!
