Why should people who play PVP get screwed over because you don't have as much fun with it? Why would people go to Vegas and gamble if there was no chance of them making as much money as they would have normally make in a day?
I am glad you mention Vegas because that's a very nice comparison.
So yes, the chance of making more money should be there and it is (you can kill a ship with very juice faction/T2 mods). But if you go to Vegas to make money and not to have fun gambling, then chances are you will be sorely dissapointed, because if the odds were not overwhelmingly against you, casinos would fail as businesses. It's the same with PvP, it is about spending money to have fun it is not about making money. Can you make money off it? Of course. Many people are good enough to have the odds in their favor. Should you expect to? No.
So when you say PvP should be more profitable than PvE it's like saying gambling should be more profitable that working a job.

BUUUUT, since you obviously failed at reading comprehension, but let me reiterate, this isn't about me. This is about making a good game.
The fact that you can't get that what makes a 'good game' does not depend on your opinion of what a good game is, is hardly a result of my reading skills. For me the realistic economy is one of the best aspects of EVE. And because the economy is realistic, it does not matter how much fun you are having or want to have, it does not matter how much time you spend or how you spend it. All it matters is how much other people are willing to pay for what you have to offer them.
The notion that a ship should have more valuable wreckage because it was driven by a player and not an NPC is ridiculous. Should it have more valuable wreckage if it had more valubale equipment? Sure, you get that in the loot and I hope ships with fitted rigs do give much better wreckage that ships without rigs, but the same ship, with the same equipment giving more loot because it's a player ship? Nonsense.
Not to mention how easily exploitable that can be.
