I really don't have time to contribute to any major alliance ops mainly because I am not willing to sit infront of my computer for a 3-5 hour CTA. Solo pvp is pretty much dead and you are gaurunteed to run into a 12 man roaming gang(at the least) in any 0.0 incursion.
EVE is a sandbox. That means you can play it the way you want to. I go out solo/small gang roaming when I get the chance, and often encounter other small (3-5 pilots) gangs. It's all a matter of setting yourself up with the right gear that will meet your needs. Finding a ship that can engage suitable targets and avoid others isn't hard.... if that's what you want to do in the sandbox.

*snip* Large alliances have built up huge wealth and are therefore untouchable *snip*
(This is my summary of your post, please feel free to clarify/contend if this is not what you meant)
I disagree. Just look at what has happened to Atlas and -A-, both alliances that have held the space they're in for a long time and have built large reserves of ISK and capitals. What you have said about Morsus Mihi can also be applied to both Atlas and -A-, and yet they have both been removed from their space.
Sure, the scale of the invading force was large, but so was the force in the last invasion of the NC, particularly the battle for H-W. The big difference between those invasions (of the NC, and of Atlas/-A-) is that the coalition of alliances in the north were full of active players (of all character ages) and leadership who worked together and not only undocked to fight, but coordinated well with each other because they have been working together on a regular basis.
There seems to be a sentiment amongst the (bitter) vets that I'd like to address... If you think you deserve to be powerful and successful in EVE purely because you have a lot of skillpoints, I suggest that you are somewhat mistaken.

I would agree that there is plenty of easy money to be made, but moon minerals are not an ISK faucet, all they do is redistribute ISK from one player/corp to another. It may be that there are just not enough ISK sinks to take money out of the game (and therefore keep wallets tight), particularly now that PI has taken over from NPC sell orders for POS maintenance.
Also, now that ship prices (and therefore minerals) are decoupled from the insurance payout, the market will be far more player driven. We're already seeing T1 ship and mineral prices change from that which will have interesting effects on everything else in the economy.
So there are still plenty of players who are experiencing the "tight wallet' phenomenon, it's just that some players know how to work the system and get rich, and others don't.

All of u mofos who r playing for less then 3 years need to STFU u'r all ROBOTS!!!
Homosexual ROBOTS
u have no idea how the game was what it means to have fun in EVE
CCP stop recruiting WOW dev's
So nobody who has played less than three years could possibly have fun in EVE. Apparently I'm mistaken about what I find enjoyable because somebody who controls a character with hundreds of millions of skillpoints and played when all the asteroids were big silver balls thinks the past was more fun than the present.
I was also unaware that until my character reaches the arbitrary age of three years I will have to remain a gay automaton. What exactly are the prerequisites for the "Hetrosexual Automaton" skill book? Please tell me oh great veteran who I must learn everything from (except basic spelling and grammar).
Perhaps I'm just not bitter enough yet...
Games change. The world changes. Learn to adapt and HTFU or GTFO.
