It's not even remotely profitable (for me at least). |

Why not? I PvPed in Ultima Online for profit and it was great: bounties for PKs were huge and they fought desperately because status penalties for PKs were horrible in case of death (10% skills loss upon resurrection unless they spent 8 hours in game for each murder to "wear off" penalties).
Also I fail to see any other reason to PvP in EVE:
it's not dynamic (either single valley or minutes of monotonous orbiting),
it's not fast (you can spend hours in roams and camps before shooting anyone),
it's not easy (you have to study like university course to be effective),
it's not colorful / artsy (dark ships on dark sky = mess, primitive explosions and shooting without environmental lighting effects like it's 2005),
it's not fair or balanced (no arenas, bigger blob wins).
TL;DR For my taste EVE PvP is not fun. |

EVE PvP wasn't fun and profitable before Retribution, it won't magically become fun and profitable with 20% of killmail cost.
Also I already PvP non-stop for many hours daily - in newly released Planetside 2. Multi-moon environment and arcade-ish aerial lazors combat with minimal set of modules (couple weapons, couple abilities) is enough of sci-fi PvP for me. It's fun, fast, technically simple - these are primary parts I've missed in EVE version of PvP. Also it give xp - resulting in feeling of progression while EVE PvP gives me feeling of degeneration (due to time and monetary losses). Also PS2 has its own TEST alliance version. |
