Seems to be a lot of "Back in my day, ..." going on here. Back in your day things were ****ty, but things should improve over time, not get better then switch back to the ****tiness. It would be like saying ok, the calculator is great, but then switching back to a damn slide rule.

There were a lot of better things back in the day.

With no sanctums or stuff like that people spread out to rat in groups of 3 to 5 in different systems to rat and make money, this spreading out allowed for more small roaming gang pvp to jump some people out on the fringes of their space. There were also dedicated roaming fleets that would patrol space as a defense fleet. We didnt have bridges so we had to have gangs going out and always moving to catch incoming hostiles.

some interesting facts about eve.

before jump bridges and jump freighters, cyno jammers and cyno beacons.

1. BOB, aka IT aka Raiden controlled over 75 systems and kept them well defended.
2. hauling jobs were done in carriers, which back then couldn't hold battleships
3. If someone fielded a mothership or a titan it was an OH **** situation
4. Losing a fleet of 50 battleships was a big deal
5. EvE still existed, people still played, empires came, empires fell. Curse, ASCN, Imperian, Goons, Tri

We still functioned in 0.0, we still had our wars, and it was fun. It was hard, but we still had fun. You got a better sense of accomplishment when your fleet flew 25 jumps to defend a pos tower and successfully did it.

So amongst your raging and whining, you should remember, you all have it easy, things were a lot harder in RMR eve.
