Few things:
1.) "Sandbox" just means "ruleset and/or tools without defined objective", not "do whatever you want to do". There's a lot of confusion about that.
2.) Tools and rules change.
3.) Do not fly an expensive Marauder you cannot afford to lose because of one little frigate. Or anything else for that matter.
4.) If any of the above are unsatisfactory, you really are better off giving your money to someone else. Griping about it while still paying will make no impression whatsoever. Leaving won't really make an impression either, but at least you'll be free of the hassle.

If they do, I'll be gone. Anyone who pays to be annoyed is an idiot.
All of my points are facts of life in EVE, it's the intent of the design. I'm not poking at you or telling you to like it, or HTFU or any of the other usual snide comments. It's just the truth.
I think the drone changes are pretty lame, and like most features around here didn't get nearly enough testing before they were implemented. It's the way things go.
In all seriousness, there's enough to EVE that you can probably find something else you'll enjoy. But if you can't tolerate those four facts, hanging around is just setting yourself up for bitter and endless disappointment.

No, you love what you want the game to be.
People stay in all kinds of bad relationships for the same reason.
The game is what it is. It may change, it may not. But chances are it will still come home drunk and beat the crap out of you.

Yeah, they seem a lot weaker now, but it's probably just that they're getting hit a lot more. Some of those rat BS pilots have outrageous tracking skills apparently.
