1. Where did CCP state that Dominion was meant to address 0.0 economics?
There are issues, and CCP know about them. The words extensible and infrastructure seem to pass people by. One has to wonder how these people survive in nullsec as it is.

Welcome to EvE Online. Since you're so new, you might want to spend some time reading the "New Citizens" Board.

On the left side of this page, you'll find the Dev Blogs under the "Eve Insider" heading. Once there you can work your way back to the older blogs, and read about how Dominion was supposed to allow 0.0 alliances to upgrade their systems to support 50-100 people per system.

Also since you're so new here, let me tell you a little bit about 'extensible infrastructure'. Once upon a time, the players really hated the random missions. They're dull, pointless, repetitive and don't make you feel like you're actually doing anything since they don't change anything in the game world.

So the devs created an 'extensible framework' for creating new, more interesting missions and called them "COSMOS". Initially, they decided to roll out a tiny number of missions, but the new extensible framework was going to make it so easy to add missions that soon space would be littered with missions.

Then the next expansion happened, and there were a few new COSMOS missions. They pushed back new missions for Gallente and Amarr, but that was ok, their new extensible infrastructure meant they'd be in soon after.

Oh, except they weren't ever added. And that wonderful 'extensible infrastructure' was never used again.

You'll find a repeating pattern with all of CCP's new, exciting extensible infrastructures. From POSes to stations to outposts to mining to trading to missions to T3 subsystems, they never release more than a tiny fraction of the promised improvements that their extensible infrastructures are supposed to bring.

So we're complaining mightily because we've been here for a while, and we know we've only got Dominion and probably 1 follow-on where they do something about the upgrades. They'll release most of the changes in the first one, a few more and some 'fixes' in the follow-on while promising more stuff soonÖ. Thus if the first batch is terrible, the entire system is gonna be "meh" at best. We'd much rather they start with good and then do better with the follow-on.

2. Most of the whines about the new sov system appear to be protection of investment, lack of imagination, laziness or failure in basic reading comprehension.

It only seems this way if you have faith that CCP will follow through. Their track record says otherwise. Something new and shiny will come along (Incarna, DUST, planets) and it will be years before they look back at the upgrades again.
