This game is already light years ahead of even the largest MMO's in terms of being well thought out and balanced and whatnot. Granted, it's got some rough edges, but I'm certain that if the fact that they've implemented several fixes and intelligent changes almost immediately isn't enough to prove to people it's a great company and a great game, then nothing will.
Also, @ Soldur you might try finding a corp that has some goals. This is a sandbox game, so no goals = head banging into a wall. It's not WoW where your goal is to mission till you're glowing and purple and then start over again. I think if you find yourself a place where you're actually working towards a greater goal with a bunch of people you like you'll see the shine in this game a lot more.
I think one of the major flaws with a sandbox is they rest on that notion that content should be mostly user created. This shouldn't be used as an excuse to have piss-poor features or a noticable lack of features period (and no I'm not speaking about Perpetuum that I know of, since I've not nearly played long enough to be able to make such an assertion).
Sandboxes have the unique ability to facilitate and support user imagined features or substance, but they rarely do. Please look at Darkfalls use of 'fun hulks' and flags. These are items that cannot be used for pvp or pve (to get the full idea you'd have to read about them) and are used solely for groups of players to create their own games. The implementation of these examples was... not received well by the community at first (why'd you have to name them 'Fun Hulks', Aventurine?), however there's a LOT of unexplored territory there.
TL;DR: I hope dev's plan on throwing more toys to play with to seperate themselves from the cloud. Community events are a good place to start, then add repeatable content asap for players to use with their own imagination.
EDIT: Severe over-use of the word feature. Its been a long week. Please substitute feature with: content, substance, toys, or lawlfunhulks where applicable.
