We've had a lot of great times in factional warfare but it has become stale and boring for a lot of our members. It used to be a fun, dynamic area for us to fight in but both sides have become blobbier and blobbier and it's generally led to fewer and fewer small gang fights which is what we enjoy and thrive upon.
We don't see the upcoming patch making any significant impact to the way either side run their gangs so it's been decided we'll depart factional warfare and look for newer, better opportunities for pvp where were can play to our strengths and force fights.
Bye and take care to everyone we've flown both with and against. It was a blast --------

It's been a great run; I've loved my time flying for the Amarr. New challenges will be intresting, and I'm looking forward to it.
As a parting gift to the FW community at large, I offer a sensor logs of a few choice enounters with the "blob" [YouTube]. I hope the blob swells ever larger with noobs such that artisan killers may grow fat hunting in the wings!
A fond salute to the blob and the Amarr Militia! o7

Sorry to see u guys leave fw... But i hav a funny question for u and its what do u hope to find out there, the weak band together to fight the strong and makes alot of sense to me... As a solo pvper in factional warfare and also pirate for a time i looked down on it and stated it was ruining the game but for who only the 1% of eve who are good at solo pvp the rest are not inclined to solo or are scared or just not capable to solo which is y they stick to large fleets and thats most of eve... Your leaving fw well that is kool cause its not the greatest thing but for what, even when i pirate i get blobbed which is funny at times = /
i have done hi sec war decs that are lame but u find blobs there to, there is 0.0 which can be fun but after 1 or 2 pwns blobs show up and murder u = ( so im not sure what u hope to find and whatever it is tell me cause i want in...
Solopvp is not dead even in fation warfare...

Good blokes in gship (mostly) and they certainly know the game. Good luck wherever you go.

tl;dr - 0.0 space gives us more strategic and tactical options to get the kind of fights we're looking for.
Long version:
We're going to move to one of the quieter 0.0 regions and will be blue with a couple of other very capable entities for when stuff hits the fan.
We realize that there will be blobs no matter where we go, but at least in 0.0 you can employ tactics to split them up and/or force fights when it's beneficial to you. This is something you cannot do in lowsec.
Instead, you watch in frustration when a wt gang runs and docks from what could have been a very fun fight with losses on both sides and no clear predetermined outcome, only to undock with more numbers and bigger/better ships than what you have and resigning yourself to ganking the one or two stragglers that're about.

Good Luck to those we've fought alongside for so long. It has indeed been a long journey. We'll remember the good old days of facwar we used to enjoy, with great small gang and solo pvp. Maybe it will return someday.
For now, it's off into the deep dark. -- Meridius Dex Visit the Gunship Forums --

The funny part is the video posted by GDIP, where 5-10 man gangs are apparantly called blobs.
Seems to be a spreading bad habit to call any gang even outnumbering others by a single pilot blob, making that term pointless and hollow. Its getting harder and harder to respect anyone using the term lately.
But alas, was probably still fun having you and good luck in your future endeavors

Well we had a couple of entertaining rumbles back before you left Amarrian FW for the first time earlier this year. Enjoy yourselves in 0.0.

Yes I know, I'll try to be nice.. I can't stop myself sometimes..
Look I'm John Q noob and I know this but this is how I see it. You guys would have been much better to fight against, from my prescriptive if you didn't always fly in the T2 stuff. What you guys need to look at, is 90% of people in FW are flying T1 hulls (with exception of T2 frigs). Meanwhile your gangs were always flying heavy, with various HAC's, a bunch of T2 frigs mixed in with BC's tending to be the only T1 hulls.
That gives a small 5 to 8 gang the killing power of a 10 to 12 man gang, so of course you aren't going to get many equal sized "small gang" type fights. You guys also had a rep for baiting and ganking, which kind of kills the chance for getting any smaller engagements. I know personally if I saw a GDip on a gate, I always had to assume there was 5 to 8 others in Hacs, BC's and T2 frigs on the other side of the gate.
Which mean I'm never gonna engage you solo, simply because I know it's just going to be a gank. In short you guys kind of brought the blobs on to your self even more than typically because of your rep of always flying heavy or with gank for back up.
I think if you guys would have flown around in some smaller stuff from time to time, you would have found more fights. Just like it might not be fun for you guys to get blobbed, it's also not fun to get ganked by a bunch of over powering ships even if it's just 5 or 6. It's still the same as getting ganked by 20 or 30 in the end.
I will say I had a good fight with Yakuza Angelis (before he left your corp), but I must say it was one of the few. I think it was the only fight I ever had with you guys that wasn't a gank from a neutral covt ops alt or 5 guys piling into from the other side of a gate.
Sorry not trying to be smacky, but just letting you know how I looked at it and why I tend to give you guys ****.
TBH, though I likely wouldn't give you guys so much **** if it was just the ganking, I can deal with that as that's what 99% of EVE pvp is it seems. What made me really dislike your corp was the use of the neutral alts in FW. I just think that kinda stuff is lame and really has no place in FW.

Sounds like normal "good" PVP to me. Up your own game, don't ask them to dumb down theirs. When they lived in the Cal/Gal front I saw nothing to complain about, except them meeting me at my worst a couple of times... And btw, they flew solo and very small gang most of the times I saw them. --- WOLFY is recruiting!

I don't know why you are complaining about people using HACs and saying it forces the Minnies to blob. Do you expect Gdip to fly junk just because you are? From what I've seen of the Minnie militia they like to form a 35 man gang made of T1 junk. These blobs get zero fights and only ever get cheap ganks. You are so misinformed/clueless/wrong it's not even funny. |

Very surprised. You were a quality FW org and I enjoyed your perspective on the matter. I suspect once you get a real good taste of 0.0 blobs, POS warfare, hours looking for targets, hours sitting near drag bubbles, and cloaking Ravens ratting in your systems, you might change your mind and come back. One can only hope.
Best of luck to you guys.

Oh come on. Atleast move to a NPC Region or lowsec near 0.0 and stand on your own two feet instead of blueing up. :/
