"What I predict will happen is that players will experience improved performance and then they will go away and start assembling groups of 4000 and 5000 and start complaining. People want strength in numbers, and it will be an ongoing battle for our engineers to support these large-scale engagements. " - Torfi Frans Olafsson
Interview
This happens far too often in pretty much any MMORPG community. People want perfection and damn near impossible feats from the company and some spend hours on end whining about it on the forums. Seriously, just stop complaining. CCP is working on it, and when you ask for 2500 v 2500 fleet fights, i'm going to be laughing my ass off

Considering technical limitations and impracticalities poor game design is still the key issue when Eve allows the assemblance of such fleets to the detriment of overall game play. Frankly, they need to redesign fleet warfare so lag is less of an issue to begin with.

you guys should rather be glad that ccp is willing to to something against lag and is willing to provide bigger fleetbattles instead complaining about bad game/software design (which almost none of you - neither me - could really judge or estimate about).
They could say, this IS the gamedesign...eat it and die or die!

If CCP redesigns fleet warfare to limit the number of people in fleets, people will start BAW'ing about that, too. CCP advertises Eve as a sandbox, and the fact that you can have these already massive fights is just plain awesome.

Hes deflecting cause CCP f---ed up.

At some point, a limit needs to be established, as CCP could be as fast as can be, but people's ISP's will become the limitation.
Has anyone seen any good proposals on a size limitation? IRL navy battles are limited by LOS and the 2d surface (and RL military budgets)...

He does have a point.
Without a game mechanic that limits blobs in some way, nullbears will continue to behave like herd animals, seeking safety in numbers. If one alliance does it, every alliance will be forced to do it; it's not a choice. The blobs will get larger until it's blackscreen lottery time no matter what changes CCP makes to the code or server infrastructure.
The only fix is to change the game mechanics. If that never happens, then EVE will always have huge blobs and accompanying lag.

And you're going to lose this battle forever.
