I'm not sure I understand what the argument is here.
It seems people are confusing a hate of BE's playstyle with a legitimate complaint on the direction CCP is taking EvE.
Anyone can still fly around in a small group and gank people not paying enough attention, but to accomplish anything major game wise, its requiring more and more of a blob and CCP seems to be facilitating that.
I'm personally getting a bit disheartened as skill becomes less and less of a factor and CCP seems to be listening to the loudest whines like a typical MMO. What made me love EvE over most MMO's was that the devs seemed immune to the whines, but as EvE gets bigger its falling into the same pattern.
I hope this is just a little burp, and things resume a more logical path in the near future.

CCP has three choices, two good, one bad.
1. Fix lag. Blobbing wouldn't be so bad if you could DO something in them. Hell I wouldn't mind fighting outnumbered 3-1 if I had a chance to use hit and run and the like but thats just not possible with lag. When you feel like flying your ship is more like driving the mars rover, its not fun.
2. Fix blobs. Remove the NEED to blob. Its not that these blobs are just the product of big alliances, its that you need them do do anything on the alliance level. Add to it that the game has grown so you just have more people playing. You need the blob and you have the man power to create them. The servers can't handle it, and if they can't handle it in the near future, remove the need for them until they can.
3. Ignore it. Easy solution for CCP, would have a lot of long time players looking for the next game.

You know reading all these threads lately I'm starting to wonder if they really care if pvpers stick around.
As long as their servers are maxed, does it matter if its a noob or a 4 year vet playing?
Keeping the 'professional' pvper happy is hard work and expensive. Most of EvE's pvp flaws don't show themselves until you have played for a long time, and by then do they figure any more play time is just gravy for them?
I really hope my thoughts on this are wrong, but I'm thinking perhaps this is closer to the truth than any of us want to admit.
