Reason is that i'd like to know if people basically have the same irritations when it comes to gameplay. Please, keep it to a top 3 and explain why.
I'll go first...
1. Extreme changes
With this i mean that one day stuff works a certain way and then suddenly the next day the dynamics are changed dramatically. I can understand (for instance) the castor patch, but for an npc farmer it was basically the end of his or her line of work (what i did before castor and also the reason for my first BS loss after castor). I guess its the same for hardcore pvp people that suddenly get the sentrygun range increased. I'd like the patches to become more frequent, but the changes it brings to be more gradual.
2. Three characters
This is not "The Sims"... i personally think 3 different chars was a really bad idea. Just like real life, you should think about what you want your main character to become. Now you can be mr. niceguy in corp #1, be a pirate in corp #2 and haul ammo to your pirate char when he or she is being blockaded with the third character. Somehow this doesnt sound fair at all. Sure, you could buy a second account and use that if only one char was allowed per account, but that should be the "price" to pay for a second life in this game.
3. Corporation / Teamwork
What are your options as a legal corporation, teamwork-wise? Mine ore or get some tech1 loot. What happens when everyone gets bored? They all do their seperate thing. What happens when they turn pirate (because of extreme boredom)? The ones with massive online time eventually switch to one of the well-known pirate corporations and the ones with limited time become lone outlaws.
=====
To sum it all up: Crime in this game is reaching new highs every day, mainly because people are getting bored of the lack of things to do as a corporation legally. Yet, changes are instant and being able to adapt depends on the time you spend online. Still, you can keep a healthy main character if you are willing to spend money for 2 (or more) accounts and do some battleship mining (why oh why didnt they think about "mininglaser hardpoints", battleships are not meant to mine) and haul at the same time.

Griefers. Why? Because they destory the game for everyone else. Most Pirates aren't griefers and there is a difference in the two.
The slow release of new tech bp's. Agent missions are huge cop-out on the release of tech 2.
Zero Content. No special ships for each class of player. It's warships and haulers. Big whoopee. The agent missions are all Go to area "A" then go to area "B". Then return for your reward. The rewards blow chunks. I would say the only content that is in eve-online right now is the player base pirate corperation(s) that wage war on other factions ( You know who you are ). 
So why do I play. Mostly to shoot the ****e with my friends online and train skills for when the ccp do decide to get off their butts and do something. Until then all I can do is wait.

I started Eve (in January) for the PvP. Most people who complain about the game seem to be people who want to do everything they can to avoid PvP. This game mechanics are very clever, and the game has some excellent features that are not typical of most MMORPGs, but fundamentally, it is a PvP game. That's why it's lacking in "content", and that's why we have the whole "carebear vs. pirate" debate. If the carebears got off their butts, and took some chances, and went out and tried to kill pirates in all those shiny new battleships they use to mine with, this game would be way more fun. (not that it's not fun now, but it seems to be fun mostly for the "pirates" - i.e. pvp'ers, and not so fun for people who just want to be able to mount 7 miner 2's). As I understand, the game was never meant to be the "everquest of space simulators" - correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't this game intended primarily as a PvP game?

1. People posting in in-appropriate forums
2. The whiners and the people lacking gentalia who feel the need to flame every post
3. Agree with the last guy, but at least the seatbelt thing is better than the session change in progress message.

1) The game is fun and all...but theres not really a point to fighting eachother other then "its fun to blow stuff up"(...which it is ), "they annoy me", or "i want your stuff" 
2) Superior numbers > all ... most of the time.
3) The storyline has fu,k all to do with what happens in the game ... only very indirectly. (which is a shame  cause the storyline is well nice)
guess thats the top3 for me :P but overall the game has gotten much much better lately.

Well i'll answer you YES and NO. The thing many people miss here is that EVE isnt primarily a PVP game or a minning or trading game, or what-not. It's ALL of that put together. You need to get cash for ships and ammo, and minning is one of the ways to do it. You need to defend yourself to get what you need, so you MUST fight. It's innevitable. OR you can just go and toast ppl for fun!
What makes EVE so awesome is your ability to choose what you want to do. This is just my opinion but i think those who complain because they dont have their lives made easy in the specific "area" of game play they chose to follow are wrong about EVE.
I do alot of things in EVE, from trading to minning to PVP. It's all fun, but if i concentrate on only one of those things for too long it gets really boring really fast. I don't know how anyone can do the same thing over and over again. But that's prolly just me...
3 things i find most annoying in EVE:
1. Carebears (miners are NOT the only carebears in the game)
2. Smack talk and insults on local
3. CCP's response to ppl who suffer losses due to known bugs or exploits. (REALLY annoying)

Woot ..... I got a vote ....
1) Being liked ...........
2) Forum bandits who only comment "smack" on
other peoples battles .... (have the guts
and fight yourself)
3) Excuses from CCP ..... played the game in BETA
..... the best game EVER ...... CCP released it
and their slow killing it by changing the
gameplay without thinking about the knock-on
effects

1) Alts
2) Alt corps
3) Lame people trolling with alts
In conclusion, I hate alts. CCP, please remove them from the game, screw the consequences - the game will better off without them.*

1. Whiners who won't admit the game is good even when they've been playing for 9 months. 
2. Fan boys who don't realize the game needs improvements. 
3. Some of the changes made by CCP, although what's on the horizon looks promising.
