E-WAR is also fielded by large organisation.

If anything, all those revolution had something a shitload of people in EVE don't really have, an actual cause they cared about and were ready to put the very best they could on the line to get it.

I don't think it's that they cared more, it's more likely that they fought to their strengths and in Eve, the only strength that really makes a difference is the size of the alliance. a young 10 man alliance can't do a lot against a 10 man titan fleet.

Really, CCP needs to come to grips with the fact that the decline in numbers coincides directly with their efforts to make the game easier, more casual, and new player friendly. Most of their recent changes such as the safety, awok nerfs, and jump fat have not brought in new players while angering and driving away older folk. Much of the complexity of the game has been stripped away. And now instead of relying on the sandbox to create content, CCP as gone a full blizzard and is asking players to form up to battle npc (drifters) for their content. Well I dont want to shoot npc; I want to shoot players and I want the players to be making the content not ccp.
Ive asked others like yourself a very simple question and gotten every manner of stupid response but here's hoping you have a decent one....what exactly is stopping you from finding pvp in a game built on mechanics which allow pvp EVERYWHERE !
Including i might add against fleets running pve content.
The problem isnt CCP it is you and what seems to be the vast majority of so called pvpers in EVE.
There are alliances that operate almost exclusively in highsec the hardest place in the game to manufacture pvp content and still top almost every alliance outside highsec in pvp success.
If you cannot find pvp content it is because you prefer dry-humping your precious ship rather than risk losing it in pvp.

There has been a steady decline since before Fozziesov was introduced but nice attempt at making Fozziesov the scapegoat.
By the way you do know that the collective pout fest you nullsec types put out has led CCP to gut Fozziesov right?
And now that Fozziesov is dead i await your next excuse why you cannot find pvp when your nullsec neighbor is just a jump or two away.

Nicely put.... very nicely put.
If people want PVP it is everywhere in the game. Problem is the people screaming that null sec is stagnant is because they are a sheep in a huge alliance. Alliances, in my game design should not exist and corporations should have a limited amount of members. Alliances have too many blues, are too big and ruin the game through dictatorship. At least make it harder for entities to become fweinds. |

The Chribba data shows that there was a general increase in gaming activity for most of the time period shown on the graph with a decline starting in the 2nd quarter or so in 2014 with one activity spike, after which the decline accelerated in all of 2015 to fall to levels equal to about the middle of 2007.
The question isnt, has there been a real decline in activity for most of 2014 and all of 2015 because clearly there has been a decline, the real question is why.

You do know that players tend to do stuff despite boundaries imposed by game-design ?
AFAIK there are no coalitions in EvE's game-design. Also, the story that I heard about alliances is that CCP added them after players started to hit the max members in corp and started forming informal alliances.
Also, can someone explain what this thread is about?-á (Relax ! I'm just quoting Holgrak Blacksmith here.)

On a topic mentioned for new blood, account page saya unlimited buddy trials or whatever. Guess we can give em out. As a player base, we really should meta how we can immediately get em in on action. Manf. Trading, but mainly, pvp. Big alliances, break up coalitions and just go hog wild faction warfare style? |

Alliance were added by CCP because out fo game tools were used to make them work when the game didn't officially support them.
Coalition are just another layer of player made alliance that goes beyond the internal feature of the game.
You are asking CCP to nerf diplomats. Good luck with that. |

Adding to above post, but not edit since different direction. I had been in a sov controlled part of delve for three days. Saw zero people. Maybe got to just abandon some areas of space all together. Also with jump changes, maybe we need border alliances. So if moving abandon space between and let indie style take it and run like a freeport. Strategic freeports. The holder is blue to all sides, open stations. Would be interesting anyways. Supply and null sec market easier, a center of pvp, and adds like a transition point. Like a little pocket of pirate sov. |

Everything but diplomacy is nerfed, why not? It amazes me time after time that people ***** and moan about game mechanics and yet the players themselves decide how to play the game.... Amazes how many people from blocks dry about having nothing to when you've blued up half of eve and sit in a flock of mindless sheep |

Thats the way it is in real life too. Large groups can engage in asymmetrical warfare just like small groups. Why should eve be any different? The reason why things like ECM get nerfed is because of feelings of entitlement. People think that because they out number some guy they should win automatically and that it is unfair when the falcon pops out. However, that's the whole point of the falcon - to change the game from rock, paper scissor to something less predictable. Now ofc the big group could use a falcon too - but then the smaller group should avoid that engagement and look for targets where it can engage in asymmetrical warfare.

Let us not forget one of the best small group v large group victories, where Dumbledore's army defeated the death eater army!
I have to say, I cant believe just how many HP fan fictions are out there! This was a great choice for Eve is dying thread responses, and id like to thank everyone who was involved in the decision making process. Soon, The Troll Bridge will roll out a new automated system for this, as well as a snazzy new acronym. Once again, we have top men working on this. Of course, all of our people at TL-DR are top men, so as long as someone is working on it, it is, in fact, being worked on by top men.

Oh, in that case: let's set everyones mutual standings to blue and remove neutral and below. That should keep players busy for a while.

I would say the system needs to be designed to accommodate how players have learned to behave. Present behaviour patterns are the result of living with other sov systems for years. We have no data on how players would be behaving if the sov system had started out like this, and if players and alliances weren't shaped by years of coalition level thinking.

Then that explains why CCP is developing the game based on what they wish that players did rather than what players actually do.
73% of EVE characters stay in high security space. 62% of EVE subscribers barely PvP. 40% of all new accounts just "level up their Ravens". Probably that's why PvE content in EVE Online is sub-par and CCP is head over heels for PvP...

Not too different from me, but it snuck back in riding an armored cybernetic triceratops... That only eats human flesh... The new scope videos and events are quite engaging, roleplayer or not. Even if not RP, that is months of story and news, wondering what was up. In game stuff as well. Maybe mags and stuff witll make a comeback. Online newsletters, etc. The art of new eden book was quite well done. Chronicles I believe on the rise as well.
I suspect colder, darker and harsher is coming back. Hence the hate of fozziesov. People carebear pvp only fight if they can take no losses. |
