What if Jacob is trying to change that pesky Valenzi equation? The opening scene with MIB and Jacob, we see that MIB ask Jacob if he brought them here. THe MIB then states it all ends in the same way, alas killing each other off? Jacob said yes, but what happens in the middle is progress.
Maybe Jacob keeps bringing different camps of people to try different experiments on, to see if anyone can change, which could eventually change mankind, alas a change in the valenzi equation.
The MIB believes that mankind cannot escape it's fate, so he see is as pointless of continuing these experiments and that is why he wants to kill Jacob.
For example, he told Richard, that after we are done talking to Jacob we will have to deal with the Ajira Airway people. Assuming Jacob brought that group to try a new experiment, MIB is just going to kill them off and just let mankind end.
This is why Jacob touch each on of the Oceanic 6. That they could play one more part in this game, and hopefully in the end stop MIB and change that pesky equation.
