All I know is when I started with this game back in '05 PVP was different from now.
And with that I don't mean the fact that its changed because other ships came around and stuff (eventhough I will talk about SC's a bit down), I mean ppl have changed. Like the OP says its all about the blob now a days.
Back in the day ppl would just go about and fight ppl for fun... yes I said it: for fun, who the heck cares if you lose, just have fun.
Now its only about: win win win. A totally different mindset.
I have had enough kills through the years and I have seen pvp change since then and I don't like it. I love the solo/small gang pvp, but everywhere you go now you're most likely to find a blob.
Now ppl might bring forth the addition of Super Capital sized ships as an excuse for bringing the big blob, but thats just not right.
I only do lowsec pvp so those ships should have never come past me on the battlefield, and they haven't, yet blobs keep comming my way.
Somehow everyone needs to be "prepaired" for the event that they show up, I dunno but you CAN run you know, and go look for a smaller gang to fight a much cooler fight with.
Ofcourse this does not apply to 0.0 at all, but then again, thats a player contested world so thats normal.
Lowsec (and to some extend highsec aswell) pvp should not have changed this dramaticly imo.
I used to go out in T1 cruisers just to have a nice fight, now....well I can still go out and I occasionally do, but finding a nice (aka fun and partly fair) fight is almost not done (read: 9/10 times you get blobbed).
About killmails needing to be removed because they might somehow be the root of the problem (or partially anyway), thats just utter bs, killmails have always been in game and, like I stated before, pvp used to be totally different and fun.
So for me the problem boils down to: safety before fun, ppl don't wanna have fun anymore.
Just my (somewhat long) 2 cents.

Ps. for those looking up my kb stats (use griefwatch), yes I have been inactive in the pvp department for the better of a year now, but I keep track of pvp anyway.
