I tried EVE, i liked the space combat, and money-mongering aspect, nut I'm not an RPG man.
I think it's all about mental strategy versus physical strategy. In an RPG, your success is all about numbers, figures and other variables, like skill points and levels. The strategy is all in your head.
But I prefer physical strategy, where success is determined in the "real" world. (ie: your gameplay rather than your numbers.) Like in an FPS, it's all about cover and tactics that you can ACTUALLY SEE. Not like RPG's where a massive change has little to no "proof" of it. You can see a guy walking around with a rocket launcher, but you can't see his speed/strength/weapon skill/magic pixie bonus etc.
Sorry about my little rant, but it is what it is.

I would describe that conflict as strategy versus tactics. In one you plan stuff out, prepare for contingencies, allocate resources, etc... and in the other you make the right high-speed short term decisions. So really, they're both "real world gameplay", just one is in advance and the other is not.
It sounds like you'd make a good sergeant, but a terrible general :)
(pardon to any military folks here for my likely misuse of terminology)
