The biggest problem is realy that CCP focus everyting on corp/alliance. Making all missions harder, nerfing the rewards, its all against solo playing.
Soner or later all players will need to team up or find a other game!
Wondering how many people in NPC corps will leave EVE for that reason!
Yes thats my thought too. All who say everybody whos flying missions solo should think about the meaning of MMORP ... well, think about the meaning yourself. It does not mean massive multiplayer team playing game. Sure, teamplay is a big aspect, but solo playing may be also.
Teamplay is nice, but not always what everybody wants to do, or sometimes not possible. I'm in a small corp, and you always have people offline, mining or doing other things ... the others are noobs who sure are not able to help out in higher level missions. ^^
I'm more a miner/producer/researcher, so the main things I do are not very thrilling. Sometimes I'm lazy of staring at roids, so I do missions for a few days.
Doing missions in empire space is not the big isk machine, I could earn much more money if i hang me into a belt, mine, and build something of the mins for selling it. So mission running is something do get a little change for a while when i got such eyes @_@ from staring at rocks. 
I think missions up to level 4 should be soloable. Not all easy, but I think in a battleship with t2 fitting you should have a fair chance if you make no error in your tactics.
You always have the chance of teamplay. If lvl 1 missions are soloable with a frigate, level 2 with cruisers, level 3 with battlecruisers, and level 4 with a battleship - then everybody can team up with a ships of smaller classes, why not? The upcoming level 5 missions should be really for pure teamplay to advance beyond the level 4 ones.
So the teamplay argument is not a very good argument. Take smaller ships and its fine with teamplay. Whenever I fly for lower level agents for standing reasons I also don't take a battleship because it would be boring to me. ^^ If a mission seems too easy to somebody he can take a smaller ship class, also for a team mission run. ;)
Nobody has the right to forbid anybody soloplaying if thats it what he wants. Same for teamplay. There are fine ways to play both ways here. Everybody has to choose for himself. Teamplayers will often have the goal to join big corps, alliances, and go to 0.0, where teamplay is a foundation stone to survive. Wo wants teamplay as much as soloplay too, well smaller corps or freelancer corps give room for both, or meeting for teaming up with members of a corp who has friendship with yours. Pure soloplayers can stay at a npc corp, but always also can team up with friends.
So why the hell some people always want others force into a role they don't like? (Remeber the 'R' in MMRPG  )
Everybody here is free to play what he wants, thats the biggest advantage of Eve in my eyes.
