Exactly that is the problem. You don't want to invest anything but still have your ships.
We invested 3+ years into a game to get the things we have taken out of our hands within 2 patches.
95% of our BPo are from BUYING and not a result of the R&D agent. We invested several 100 billions which we produced by our own hands with grinding belts/rats/missions to reach that or managing our productions.
And now it's gone?
Just because YOU do not want to put the effort in, we did? And you get it handed freely over?
...
No, the keyword is "reasonable". I want to have to invest some effort to get my ship, be it ratting, mission running, playing the market, setting up a production line, whatever. 3+ years to have enough income to afford the stuff to play with is indeed too much time for a _game_ imho. I can understand that people like you feel betrayed somehow. However like Roemy pointed out - you could see it coming, couldn't you?

If t2 items were so expensive and whatnot, Why, I ask, happened so much PvP before? How could people afford them? because even with a 1000% margin they were cost-effective.
...
In fact they were not cost-effective. With the old system a t2 fitted HAC would have cost me ~ 300m isk, thats ~ 20 hours ratting/mission running per lost ship. Very few could be arsed to use them on a regular basis under these circumstances.

They want to logon, fight, don't lose anything and then logoff an hour later again without putting any effort in it.
...
Again, it is not "without putting ANY effort" but "without putting an unreasonable amount of time/effort". Again, I can see where you are coming from and respect for the effort you have obviously put into your bpos, but can't you see that a system that "works" for 1% of the playerbase (after 3 years of investment) isn't really healthy for a game (that is played for 1 year by the average player)?
