WoW rewards more people for little effort or intelligence. Quests= little imagination. A level 1 is worthless to a level 60 raiding group.
EvE is not warm and cuddly. You dont get a warm fuzzy feeling for doing a quest although maybe that will change with the new incoming faction combat. Piloting takes intelligence as stupid moves gets you dead. You lose your stuff when you die so there is a high learning curve which alot of people can't handle. Top that off with detailed game mechanics which make you actually pilot a ship, not button mash. There is little soloing in the game unless you've had some training. A 1 week noobie with 500k skillpoints, a noobie ship, and a 20k scrambler is as valuable to a fleet as a 2yr 20mill skillpoint player.
The game is all about cooperation, awareness, and determination. Unless you're willing to take some knocks while you're learning the ropes you'll hate the game. The players control, police, and supplement space not npc's. They also dont care much for those that can't handle it.
For those that can handle it, the game is incredibly fun. Whether you're an industrialist (war profiterring ftw), an alliance member (defending their homelands from invaders), or a pirate (Jack Sparrow is a poser..yarrr). But you have to find your niche and thats the part where most never put forth much effort before quitting.
