Removing JB's won't solve s**t and in fact will take the deeper parts of 0.0 back to the almost uninhabitable days of years past.
Someone has already touched on the real reason for the blobfest we see in game at the moment... pure and simple human nature. You bring 5 to a fight and i'll take 6, then you come with 7 and I call in 8... this has been going on since waaaaay back in syndicate when the JQA were trampled by the first real alliance/coalition that became .5.
Everyone points at the NC... well yea, theres a lot of us but it's something that has been forced on us not by a need to care bear, or isk farm. But because over time bigger blobs than us have come to take us out so we had to grow to counter them. Unfortunately most of those superblobs failed and have disappeared leaving us as the single largest coalition. I don't think theres any doubt that will change in time, and all of the whiners will circle jerk over the corpse of a once great coalition :)
But back to the point... removing JB's won't do jack sh**, shortening jump drive distance for caps won't change sh** except pump up the price of fuel. This game will always be about territorial gain and either of those factors will just make it easier to hold space than take it.
As for the lag, I think what irks most people is the fact that having a 1200 pilot fight was possible with 'some' lag not so long ago. The tribute fights against Bobbits when the pink furry hat wearer lost 2 titans was a case in point. But the latest updates have made it worse, THATS the main issue imho.

verisimilitude.
You know with that one word you have confused 98% of the eve population right? (nice word but you spoiled your level of erudition by misspelling nerfed :p)
There are a few pilots who advocate the removal of JB's though, and my reply was pointed at those rather than yourself :)

Spoken like an inveterate blobber.. "it's always been this way, it's the only way, nothing can change it."
Lying about how impossible it was to live in deep 0.0 before jumpbridges and jumpfreighters and the like is so sad.
Much acne ridden teen 'wish I had a woman' nerd rage?
FYI I have been in this game since day one of retail and have seen just about all there is to see. I am not promoting blobbing, personally it's a pita and would much prefer smaller scale warfare. But my comments were about the game in general and not just the usual BS pointed at yet another 'NC broke the game' ranter. This is not about the NC....
The game HAS to change, It's not always been this way and i'm fairly sure 'something' can change it into something more attractive but how are you going to change human nature?
You talk about blobbers then talk about ASCN?? dude.... ASCN were one of the original blobbers, I remember fighting them.
At no point did i say that it was impossible to live in deep 0.0, but it made it very unattractive for the smaller corps/alliances who didn't have the resources and numbers to develop it. Again, I know... I've been there.
But ok back to the discussion rather than add fuel to your ranty fire... why not make JB's more expensive to run? Why not let JB's be 'rented' rather than owned and instead of using fuel have to pay isk to use it? That way discouraging the blob use of them rather than take them away completely.
Hotdropping is awesome, it adds intensity to the game as you have to second guess your opponents at all stages. It's part of an FC's much needed tactical awareness plan so sod stopping that happening. Thats just headed back to easy pvp which is not what this games about. Make it more expensive maybe, but don't take it away, just make it harder.

You and yours made it this way. You looked at the mechanics, said "we can win easily as long as we do XXX" and did it.
Go away, read the last 4 or 5 years of Eve history then come back and comment because you are clueless. Recently perhaps we have had an easier ride, but we had to grow or die because of blob tactics against us rather than making a conscious decision to blob for easier fights. Like I said, go read some Eve history rather than just make crapridden comments about 'we' made the game this way. In fact just go read up about Delve I and Delve II....
