Just to clarify my position:

I bought in to Eve right back in the beta.

The promise was for a ruthless PvP based game.
We were told there would be no compromise on that.
We were told that CCP would stay true to the vision, and that it would not be compromised for popularity.
We were told that CCP would rather that Eve was the biggest niche mmog, rather than another mainstream effort.

Now, I fully understand the pressures on CCP to succeed, and I don't blame them for making Eve what it is now.
However, it really isn't what we bought in to in the early days. It isn't the vision that kept a loyal subscriber-base paying up each month, keeping the vision alive.
I understand that people who have joined later have a different viewpoint, and I accept that pov entirely, but please do not tell us that we aren't allowed to be dissapointed that our dream has been taken away from us.
We are entitled to be a little frustrated.

Eve is a great game, of that there is no doubt.
It is not, however, the uncompromising PvP game we were promised.

How many of the changes have been caused by PvP players taking the micky to the extreme?

You can't deney that its happened like that in some cases Avon.

Sure, some.
But I don't think that fixing broken mechanics is the same as introducing high-sec isk spawning by chatting to an agent, for example.
