I've had to answer this question so many times since I resubscribed to EvE.
EvE is a sandbox game, so the question becomes "What do you want to do?". Most people take a sandbox, and try to construct things out of it. Some people will gather their friends and build something amazing out of all that sand. Other people will fling globs of wet sand at their neighbor's dog. Others will wet themselves down and roll around in it, only to have their mothers clean them up.
The question is "What do you want to do?". If you think group PvP is fun, by all means join a corporation. But then you ask yourself, "What kind of PvP?" because you can pirate, and then you ask yourself, "What kind of pirating?" because there's noob-bashing, solo-ganking, small roaming gang ganking, etc., etc.
Our corporation is being set up to be a completely self-sufficient empire. What that means is we have our PvPers who will defend our assets in times of war, our mission runners, who see fit to make money for themselves and the corp (mission running is the biggest thing that is taxed in a corporation), the miners, who sit in an asteroid belt and bring in minerals for the industrialists, who will be the ones building our replacement ships and parts, our Fleet Commanders and Officers (Me, Dexxus, and a few others), who do a little bit of everything partially because we enjoy it and partially because we have to.
That aside, this sandbox game is described by its developers as "The USA's wild west of the 1800s". That is, the lawlessness, and the freedom to commit crimes without retribution from a government agency. You make your own justice. Everything you do in EvE is PvP related. Did you mine minerals and sell them on the market? Someone bought those and is going to use them to build their war machine. Buy a module off the market? You just paid for someone's new ship to kill their foes. Fire your guns at another player? That's the most direct PvP there is.
Everything you do in EvE is PvP related, directly or indirectly. What aspect of that that you want to do is your choice.

nice one!
I like mmorpgs which don't shove you with "objectives".
In eve, where there are even no level grinding, you can juts do anything you feel like.
Be it killing a few people, or creating a trade imperium or something
