Think back a couple years or maybe more and remember what you loved about EVE Online.
Everything that I still love about it today. The sense of scale, the depth, the intricacy, the backstory, the design, the appearance, the style, the potential, the flexibility, the culture.
I love that I'm playing a game where I'm one of the YOUNGER players, as opposed to one of the oldest. I love that I can sit down and have a political discussion with my friends from the perspective of actually being able to make a difference. I love that I can get on Teamspeak and lead fleets in battle.
During my time in this game, I've seen the release and expansion of capital-class vessels, I've seen subtle changes to the way most of the game's modules and strategies work at some point, I've seen new features implemented, old features revised - I've seen this game evolve, but it is still, fundamentally, the same game that I started playing two years ago.
Despite all the changes - it's still the same. Just... better. Less laggy (OMGWTF? I hear you cry? It's true!) more tactical, more strategic, more flexible, more open, more cunning. More of the same, with less of the bad.
The only thing that's changed for the worse, as far as I can tell, is that(Incoming flame/troll alert!) the EVE community has by and large gone from being a mature, patient bunch of intelligent people to being a circus of petulant, impatient whining children who complain about things that, 90% of the time, they have NO INTELLIGENT OR INFORMED OPINION ON WHATSOEVER. (Not directed at anyone in particular - this does not necessarily mean YOU, dear reader, but this is nevertheless my opinion of the collective EVE community as a whole)
To my mind, this game has only ever changed for the better. Over time, however... I think the community has changed for the worse. If I am ever driven from this game, it will not be because of a change in the mechanics of the game, or any action of CCP - it will be because I finally decided not to put up with the incessant COMPLAINING for an instant longer.

The game is not the problem.
The problem is that you are not adapting to the game.
