CCP create this game, play this game surely they must of seen that someone lmajor coalition would control this, and whoever did would almost have unlimited isk, risk free pvp and a SRP only many would dream of, and have a distinct advantage over the rest of eve.

It was supposed to drive conflict.

So we know technetium is a little broken shall we say. But I still don't understand CCPs reasoning of why the stuck it all in the north? especially Venal.

So why did CCP do this? Why have they left the south with absolutely nothing?
Why wasnt or is tech just balanced across the whole of the universe and not just concentrated in the north? Just like prom and dyspro moons used to be.
Why give the south such a distinct disadvantage?

I would just love to know what was the thinking behind this.

You should learn some history sometime if you have reading time there is quite a long story behind the way CCP does things. Anyways in a time long long ago the moons in the south were the modern day technetium. In a game like EVE there is almost always going to be a bottl-necked product.

Thats why the Goons cascaded themselves so they could move up north.

It's a conspiracy!

I lack a degree in geopolitics but I would have thought a scarcity of resources drives conflict not a limitless supply.
Just sayin.

And I suppose it has. Goonswarm has so much of it, that they are now taking pretty much all of it.

it should, the USA constantly invades places to secure oil rights
but finite resources in an MMO would quickly turn hisec in a depression era like dustbowl, not even nulsec wouldnt stay viable for all that long

so we get infinite resources
which leaves only location and access as conflict points

being blue is too easy, so theres little conflict there.

You cant prove we killed JFK so we cold fake the moon landings on the grassy knoll to fool people into thinking moons were nothing but useless dustballs orbiiting a flat earth.

I don't need to, Glenn Beck told me you're a front for the CIA

I like how everyone cries tech is laughable broken and favors a single alliance, but nobody mentions the sheer amount of boring and laborious tasks you have to do on a daily basis to maintain any semblance of infrastructure, support and then after all the basics are finished, create an environment that actually ENCOURAGES people to come live out in Null Sec.

Jump bridges don't fuel themselves.
POSes don't fuel themselves.
Markets don't seed themselves.
Systems don't upgrade themselves.
Ships don't reimburse themselves.
Sov doesn't pay for itself.

If only everyone who cried 'Nerf Tech' understood exactly how much it cost to maintain a alliance/coalition strong enough to hold tech.

If it moves, nerf it.
