Perhaps one difference from then to now is that back then, despite a lot of complaining, people seemed to realise what a diamond in the rough EvE is and accept it for what it is, rather than compare it to other games.
And when years after, the diamond is still rough and the developer openly communicate on its absence of intent to polish it, people that where hanging in there just waiting for it to be polished start to decide that they waited enough.
The game actually be better, but each issue that gets unfixed for years is frustration accumulated. They may look like details taken individually, but there are so many that they add up and make for a sentiment of complete neglect.
Devs all work on their 0.5 features, having no intent of making them 1.0 ever. Surely you can understand that people with minimal expectation of quality are disappointed?
/Signed.
Back in 2003, this rough diamond counted implicitly with the trust and hopes of their original players for something unique you could not find anywhere. Some of us came later (2006 here) but still envisioned the true beauty of this product.
After several years bearing the same old crap features that cripple this game ( with some of them pompously announced and sold as "unique features among other games") , and simultaneously, being an involuntary audience for the lousy content that has been introduced periodically and nobody asked for, the old guard has developed a frustration feeling that has never stopped to grow since we could witness how little attention was devoted to the real problems and how much fanfare was added to the content, in an attempt to divert our claims and gain new flesh for the game under a brilliant firework show over a faulty base. Once the new flesh became experienced enough the amount of rage is mathematically bigger.
I wouldn't say the game is better. I'd say the game has developed and has matured as corresponding with its age, but it lacks tons of quality for carrying exactly the same old problems since its inception. As anyone can expect, adding more stuff doesn't solve the original code problems we still suffer anywhere at anytime, on the contrary, the probabilities of finding new inconsistencies with the latest expansion will make harder and harder to eradicate completely the original problems.
