I agree with the trend that Marcus notes; I disagree with the black & white nature posted. I follow the story, do missions, build stuff, but I also PvP, as my current corp, the Amarr militia, shows. Pirating is just one aspect of the game, though it does seem to attract more than its fair share of jerks.
That said, I think it's about time the PvE and industrial side got the same level of attention. We have a vibrant dynamic economy with CCP even hiring an economist to keep track of it all, an entire manufacturing system that means one cannot help but build ships and modules simply in order to PvP, and yet the purely PvP crowd have the audacity to claim that their chosen profession should take priority and looks down their nose at those who produce the ships they fight with.
I've always wondered what would happen if every person with industrial skills in the game went on strike...
Edit: funnily enough this 0.0 issue thread is almost entirely about industrial issues as well, so the cry can hardly be levelled as though we're all high-sec newbies wanting our cake and to eat it.

You already have enough attention. Don't believe me? Well okay, let remove that you get flagged from looting cans, concord buffs, 25% hp buffs and see how it feels then.
This statement is just dumb and I'm not normally that blunt in my posts. Capital ships, DDs, Titans, an increasing number of T2 ships aimed at PvP, numerous balances and changes all aimed at PvP, the introduction of an entire new militia system aimed at PvP, are we seeing a trend here? Then again the tone and topic of your post puts you squarely in Marcus' camp of griefers, so I'd not expect you to actually consider the entire game rather than your own personal sphere.
Don't get me wrong, as I said, I enjoy PvP, but lets not kid ourselves that the other aspects of the game have had fair treatment.
