I got a subscription to E-ON last year. Was just pure comedy.
Battle Reports: Month after month of "so-and-so was winning, node crashed, other side holds the field"
Dev Interviews: "Nah I mainly play WoW, getting the job here was the first I heard of Eve"
Was funny seeing it on glossy pages.

The only part of your thread I might argue with is the part about there ever being PvP in EVE. It's strategic griefing, not PvP. All battles are and always have been so one sided it might as well be PvE.
Strategic Griefing is now dying too though as more and more people make fewer and fewer mistakes.
I have 4 mains, 8 escort scouts. Each main has an escort scout in system and one in adjecent system. Intell like that kills the only EVE strategy that was ever available. My stupidity. More and more people are figuring out that unless you avoid PvP and grind your guts out for potentially years you never get ahead. You play a 2 steps forward 3 steps back game.
We will never get back 2005 because we will never see enough true new players to a game that is renowned for its griefing, scamming, meta gaming and linear class systems. |

If by PvP you mean 5-on-1 gate camps, probing out carebears running missions to grief them into shooting at you, or corp roams waxing random solo's in lowsec...then, yes...PvP is being born anew 
Edit:
This is an old game. This is what happens in old games. As time goes on, certain groups flourish, thereby gaining power...while other groups compete and then fade away. After enough time has passed, the vast majority of the power will be in the hands of those that won the fight for resources/power near the beginning.
Working as intended.

Um, I don't think it's always as bad as you say... perhaps there are too many NAPs and too many mega coalitions...

Supposedly, and don't quote me on this, but the more PLEX you have in your cargo hold, the more likely you are to win at PVP. It's a little known game mechanic, but it's totally real. I'm super cereal.

Even gatecamping in Rens or old style roaming in 0.0 ratting and mining systems beat the situation were PvP is decided by the number or RR ships and even in lowsec a battle is often decided by carrier hotdrop and counter hotdrop.
PvP is not dying, it is already dead.

PvP is alive and well, although I'll admit its a lot harder to find someone who actually wants to fight and there are lots more risk free PvPers around like BURN EDEN, people using falcon alts, Lukka style station camping with carrier, and Dramiels.
I really miss the old Providence too, back when you could log in, get a fight or die in a fire within 15 minutes. Beats the new providence where you roam for hours and don't get a fight at all or some ****** expects you to fight his curse in a taranis... yeah.
But really, there is PvP out there, it's hard to find, but it's out there. I recommend heading over to the My Eve section of the forums and watching Zachs new video, there are a bunch of videos by our very own Prometheus Exanthal there, as well as several others which might give you some inspiration.
Majority of people saying it's dead are people who aren't looking for it.

pvp is dying due to nubs wanting to 'win' and they only know how to win by out blobbing the others..
how quickly can you alpha as many ships as they try to get out from the 20 vs 60 blob they brought 'for the luls' including caps

What are you "grinding your guts out" for if you don't PVP? Hate to break it to you but PVP is basically the only thing that you can spend that ISK on. Unless you like to simply buy ships and then spin them in hangar all day (in which case you would be better off installing a 3d program and spin the models in there - then you also don't have to be all scared about the ebil griefers).
IMO you should grow a pair, join a decent alliance and learn to play. Then you also wouldn't have to be so paranoid.

If all you bitter vet forum whiners logged on & got a fleet together you'd do some damage.
Seriously, play the game, or don't but spare us your tantrums here please!

PVP is dead, you die to quickly...
- Ammo damage should be cut by 200% so atleast you actualy get to fight and see it.
Plus pilots need an in ship view.
Apart from being a massive time sink trying to find a fair fight...
All these current updates are basically not improving the game.
And no you cant have my stuff...

PVP ain't dead
Fleet pvp is just what eve is about
But for us who likes to be on our own, soloing around, it has only become 600x times as hard then it was back in the days.
This is partly because CCP likes to almost force us into fleets, by making changes that only makes Fleet fights easier.
Solo has almost come down to sitting on station/gates, camping for security of you own well being, as if a blob could arrive any moment ( which it can today ). People who has the isk to risk going out on long range roams on their own, only to be blown up by the blob in the end, are all that is left og real Soloers. But for us who hardly ever has isk, it sure as hell havent been easy lately.
Overpopulation is partly to blame for blobs atm, give us like 2000 new systems with 2 new trade hub systems with highsec and low sec, and it might help ?
