I'm an industrialist...and I have to shake my head at this.
Yes, other players can make it difficult...nay...impossible to do things that you were previously doing just fine. They can crash or explode markets you depended on, target your assets and otherwise make things tough. A good industrialist learns to adapt. If you were clever enough to come up with a good solid business strategy before, you should be clever enough to re-assess the environment and find a new way to do business.
In the cat-and-mouse game that is low sec, there is no shame in learning to be a better mouse. |

Also keep one other thing in mind:
There is a good chance that you are not the only industrialist doing what you were doing (or something very similar). As such, the same conditions that have made business hard for you is making business hard for them, your competition, too. If you are able to tweak the way you do things to account for the changes in the environment and additional risks, but otherwise continue your business, you'll probably find you have bigger profits waiting for you.
Ask any miner who has learned to mine without being ganked. Their adaptation let them remain and now they enjoy much higher mineral prices for their efforts.

Take responsibility!!!
I'm a casual player too. Just being a casual player does not mean you can't adapt to the changes in the environment. The only thing being casual does is makes you less likely to be able to change the environment yourself on any significant level. Of course, most 'hard-core' players can't do that either, so the title of 'casual' can't be leaned on for any sort of excuse.
