Given Caldari were given a Medal for every 24hr period that the Warzone was held, it would make sense given technically speaking the Gallente did hold all the systems for a single Downtime-to-Downtime period... they should be awarded a single medal.
In all honesty, most of us knew Mid-December that this was going to be the eventual outcome as well. There was a certain domino effect within Caldari, along with the unsually well Coordinated efforts with the Gallente (+Allies) that really brought us to this point.
What has been far more in the air has been how long we have been able to hold out. I can honestly say that many of the Caldari pilots did their absolute best, at a significant disadvantage to bitterly hold on to our last few systems.
And I don't say Significant Disadvantage because of Mechanics or anything like that, which I think both sides can agree still are not ideal as they still focus too much on earning ISK (LP) over PvP ... but more that it has been an incredible amount of work, for those of us who remained in Caldari Militia to try to hold together what was left while putting up serious resistance in the attempt to deny the Gallente the complete warzone victory they achieved.
Sure we did not accomplish our goal and that sucks giant hairy loveberries, still this past month has put life back in to Faction Warfare (Gallente-Caldari) that hasn't been there for a very long time.
Most importantly this whole Campaign, has given us the oppurtunity to become stronger and more solidified as a whole. In my opinion this has all been the kick in the pants that Caldari Militia has been in need of.
Now if CCP can only sort out the Faction Warfare mechanics without all this pesky ISK / LP Focus and actually provide us with some real Sovereignty bonus' to capturing and holding systems with LP (and I mean useful amounts of LP!!) from Kills basically pushing all of these damn Alt Farmers back to Incursions / Null-Sec then we can get back to the job at hand of killing each other over valueable real-est that grows in value the longer you hold it.
This past month honestly has probably been the best test of the new Faction Warfare mechanics, there are many of the changes that Retribution brought that honestly have been nothing but good; and some that still needs some work. |
