The tears here are exquisite. What the vast majority of you whining babies are saying is:

I can't PvP in anything less than a 250 million ISK HAC, and you are making it impossible for me to have a hangar full of these

I won't run those cheap anomalies in my 750 million ISK Strategic Cruiser, and you are making it impossible for me to have a hangar full of these
Last time I checked, the lower grade anomalies still generated a few million ISK in bounties, loot and salvage (yes, using all means of income generation). So OMFG, you will now have to consider PvP in a mere T2 fit BC.
This is what I see this change doing, and this is the real concern for all of you spacerich babies:
Individual pilot income is going to slowly go down, until the isk/hr running anomalies becomes equal to the isk/hr running hisec missions, and stabilize at that point. Guessing it will stabilize at a lower total wallet level, and at the individual pilot level fewer high-dollar ships will be affordable.
Sadly what this will do is actually mirror the income divide that has become the norm in the modern U.S. - those who have more (Supercarriers/Carriers) and access to those higher truesec systems with iHub upgrades will have even more ISK, and the average scrub will have less. Because why would an alliance with access to Sanctums and Havens let some non-capital scrub farm anomalies. After all only the super pilots need the ISK, right?
The real question is, when the average nullsec pilot wallet stabilizes at a lower overall level, will this impact the T2/T3/Moongoo markets, since these ships won't be vanilla anymore - there will be actual value in them (except for pilots those alliances that are already beyond stupid rich with the Tech buff from last year).
Hate to break it to all of you though - it's not going to "destroy the game" after all you only had those sanctums/havens for the last year anyway, and if you are that angry, and going to quit playing, make sure to give all your stuff to someone in your corp/alliance, so they can use it.
