AdAdstra (10%), SnailsAndFrogs (10%), KICK, WH0RE, BAERS all get less than a third of their kill value in WH space. Golf claps all around. That's some amazing wormholing, AdAstra.
The average ISK killed in w-space versus total is 57%.
Excluding capitals, i think it is fair to say that a majority of entities get more numerical kills outside of w-space than inside. QUEX and BU got an average of 94% of ISK killed in w-space.
The median value of WH kills has gone from 25-28 billion per month pre Hyperion down to 21 (across ALL entities) in September. It will be interesting to see if this continues trending lower.
Likewise, the average is trending down from 72B in May, 58 June, 49 in july, 44 in August and 41B in September. As low as April.
Number of kills on average has trended down similarly; 83 in April, 104 in May, 95 June, 90 July, 87 August and 76 in September. The medium number of total kills per corp follows the same trajectory.
Conclusions?
Well, I guess we have to wait another 5 months but there is a clear trend of wormhole PVP losing out to k-space PVPing. We are seeing, on average and in aggregate, less being killed in terms of ISk and individual kills, by wormholers, since April.
The data doesn't address the issue directly, and capital kills in terms of ISk certainly heavily skew data in wormholes towards a few capital ganks washing out hundreds of BRAVE Atrons and Moas, so it's hard to say if there's even less wormhole PVP being had than this suggests. it's likely, I've certainly not experienced anywhere near the number of random encounters of even POSed up fools in the past 6 weeks.
So, going forward, I hope that Fozzie is reading this and realises that he's got to look at actual hard facts. if he doesn't, well, it doesn't bode well.
I just thought I would reply on behalf of WH0RE.
I agree that a large percentage of our kills are in nullsec/lowsec. The lack of people in wormhole spaces means that for the most part, wormholes are for skirmishes and PvE and the serious pvp is in raiding nullsec/lowsec. We take damn near every fight we can in wormhole space, but we often go a day or two without making contact with a decent sized corp to give us a fight.
We get much more consistant content and fights by raiding nullsec with assault frigates, interceptors, and dictors and try to catch ratters and provoke nullbears into fights, then randomly rolling just to simply hope to catch a populated system/chain. It has always been my position that our policy should be to raid null/low for pvp, and take what fights we can in the WH when they appear. Most of the time its just random ganks tbh. Its a fallacy that just because we live in wormholes, we need to focus on wormhole PVP.
TLDR: We want WH fights, but they arnt there. |
