The OP is right!
When I started EVE, I was supposed to choose my path...
I cretated my 1st Char to be a miner, yet on the trial account, after buying my 1st Bantam and mining Veldspar for 2 to 3 hours I was falling asleep above the keyboard, bored; well, that is not fun...
Hey, look I can train industrial and become a trader, it will be easy, ok lets go, after a wile, I was buying my 1st Badger and looking the market for buy/sell orders, traded some stuff for 1 or 2 days, but, again, that 70 jumps/day and marketing buying/selling orders was not that fun too... hmmm... I don't liked the courier missions on the tutorial, BTW...
But, look, there is an agent in this station, lets talk with him and see what he want, interesting, kill some NPC, get the bounty, some ISK as reward (and if I do it quickly I can get this ammo too), and the guy and his NPC Corp will like me more... yeah, after a wile I was in my 1st Kestrel, haha, hey, good, I like this, damn, just lost my 1st ship, and was fited with 4 Makult Standard Lauchers  that the insurence don't cover, well, even then, I was having fun, I bought another Kestrel and keep my mission running, get enough standings to work for level 2 agents and I was there again, having fun and getting more ISK and standings and my 1st implant with storyline, that was great, up in the ladder, started to do missions with level 3 agents, I was flyng my most loved ship till that time, yeah, the Caracal rules, wait, what is this? Damn, pwned Jezzzz, these guys hit harder, I need a ship that can sustain that amount of damage...
I will cut all this blah, blah, blah and get to the point, some of the players had the same experience and I don't need to bother all you with this talking.
After 9 months, I'm soloing lvl4 missions w/o the use of fanction ships or modules, I helped many friends with ISK, implants, named modules, some tips, ganging to helping them up in the ladder fast, etc. This is what I like to do in EVE, this is the path of my choice.
2 accounts, the other is for Alts to do boring stuff, hauling, researching, industry, etc (please, keep in mind that all that professions are BORING to me, I'm not talking that everyone will be bored mining or manufacturing, we are different people with diffetent tastes)... Now, without any warning, without any discussion, the Devs changed some things to "balance" the game, because they think that is the better for me, I don't think so, I'm paying to have fun, to be free to choose what I want to do, not to be pushed by someone else desire into doing some thing I just hate...
Before some can call me a carebear, I do and always did missions in low sec and yeah, I was atacked, ganked, pwned sometimes, won a few, lost a lot more, but I don't complain, it's the risk that makes the chalenge and I'm becoming better at each PvP fight as I learn.
What? My point? Well, all I can have to say is: my 2 accounts subscriptions are cancelled, not because only some "balance" screwed what I like to do in this game, but because I'm being ignored for all these 9 months, and I'm not alone. I doubt some Dev will quote and answer any of my posts, including this one, even if they can answer any other nonsense posted in the forum by someone else, I feel as my opinions and my desires are not worth of, even, a disagree. I don't like that, period.
Good luck guys, and no, I will not give you my stuff, I already have a lot of friends that deserve it more than anyone else 
Be your journeys long and prosperous.
Treat the others as you like to be treated.
