Hardcore, "hobby" type players are the core of EVE. The people who drive fights, produce the most in the economy, and so forth.
If you nerf their "end game" toy out of the fight, you need something to replace it.
Perhaps WiS will be the answer, or maybe a new class of T3, but CCP... seriously, you have to think this through.
MMOs live and die based on their end game. There has to be something that n00bs get excited about once the initial novelty wears off after the first few weeks/months.
CCP may have a PhD economist on their staff, but their psychology/marketing people are re-tards. EVERYONE who plays an MMO has some sort of fantasy of power. There has to be an end-game.
Also, my spaceship was really expensive and I am mad, bro.

Your assumption is that there is supposed to be an endgame in eve. The sandbox is what you make of it, not what CCP designates what is 'endgame'.

source? I remember hearing years ago on the old forums that a vast majority of active accounts were less than 1 year old. Really, no statement should be made without subscription data.

Well this is a bit unsupported. Other than the introduction of T3 there has been no new toys since 2007 (teir 2 bc and teir 3 bs). Sure there have some minor items and some gimmicks but the fact remains that the player-base is roughly 10x what it was when these ships were introduced. My theory is that Eve content is generated by the players in terms of nullsec wars and whatnot.
