No. Unlike most other FPS that offer mixed vehicle and infantry warfare, vehicles are a whole seperate profession with significant ISK and SP costs attached to it.
Allowing players to choose a "no vehicle mode" would lead to two things.
1. The average pilot is currently focusing his ISK and SP on his vehicle. His combat efficiency is thus hampered whenever he is not allowed to use one. Pilots would be forced to always spec into some infantry class on top of their chosen profession, while infantry can always play to their full extent without such a limitation.
2. Half a Vehicles' purpose is to provide an area of denial against non-AV focused infantry, or to provide support to allied infantry. Giving players the option to play without vehicles would mean no one in this mode would need any AV weaponry anymore. The only ones enrolling in mixed matches would be those who know they can deal with Vehicles or drive one themselves removing the "oh crap, a tank" element of the game.
A No Vehicle mode would create a section of the game some players are effectively excluded from participiating in and flies in the face of New Eden where you are not supposed to choose who you'd like to fight against in the first place.

Now during the entire match - I saw three other red players. Not shot at or killed - saw.
I killed one, got killed by one, got sniped - never saw them, and saw another break out and got run over by a tank.
The tanks ran over to the spawning area and just camped out - the firing never stopped and I never saw another red player.
How is this fun? It's a waste of time and effort.
The 1.7 upgrade has completely changed the game in a negative way. I fail to see how your short story justifies the addition of a no vehicle mode which this game was never designed for and it does not explain on what basis you disagree with the two concrete consequences that i pointed out.
True. Infantry has it tough right now. This is not a reason to trivialize piloting even more than it was pre1.7

What portion of the gamers are they 10%? 20%?
The vast majority of the players are infantry. Screw over the infantry so that a minority moves into a superior postilion.
These changes tilted the balance too far in favor of this minority.
So your rebuttal amounts to "i'm the majority"?
Waste of time. I'm out.
