1) Ignore 0.0
2) train drake/T3's
3) move to wormholes
4) join WH-merc alliance
5) roll in 3bil+ a month, ride in pimped T3's as your average throwaway ship
6) participate in some fo the most expensive small-gang pvp in eve
7) feel fulfillment of not being a 0.0 grunt slaving away with no isk
8) win eve

With Eve becoming more about power bloc coalitions, seems eve is controlled by just 4 entities HBC, CFC, Solar, N3
and the big blue doughnut. CCP not doing anything about this and allowing them to just control everything and anything.

With what happened to the chinese server, im surprised CCP hasnt seriously done something about this. as personally I am tired of playing someone elses sandbox.

If someone wants to live in nullsec, its impossible unless they pay some scamming rip off alliance 5 billion a month for 1 crappy system!

eve has become totally saturated

so many corps and alliances impossible to recruit
space is controlled by large power blocs
newbies have no chance to ever get the same gameplay or benefits without kissing some vets ass
all the moons have been taken and no one will ever get them unless they have 100000000 titans and supers..

eve on the verge of collapse? i would say so unless they make a new universe where you cant take your current chars with you and everyone starts from scratch... oh wait doesnt every other MMO do this to ensure everyone as the same chances and gameplay experience ? but eve... lol... nope...

I keep on wondering what would happen to the current state of EVE nulls if suddenly all titans, supercarriers, jump freighters, jump bridges and blackops battleships went extinct. What would happen if CCP would suddenly undo all of the force projection methods that got introduced over the years. Would the current powerblocks fall apart or merge into one giant superblob to conquer all of the nulls?
The face of PVP was changed forever once people found out they can safely "hotdrop" right ontop of other people's heads via titan jump portals or by own use of jumpdrives.

Just some food for thought for all of you.

And, uh, just a few years ago EVE was dying with just two powerblocks in the nulls, now we have four.

Nullsec got conquered by half a dozen large alliances.

The dream of nullsec owned by a thousand tiny corporations that all hate each other didn't happen, and some people think this is a problem that CCP should some how fix.

You'd start moaning about sub cap blobs and napfests.

Just delete cynos from Eve and allow caps to jump themselves. Your immediate issues with power projection (aka hotdropping) will disappear.

Even if very few blobs "control" 0.0, the control they have is thin and little more than just an in-game tag.

-You can take fleets to some of their staging systems, bubble-lock them and massacre their ratters and mission runners.
-You can rat and do what you want in their space. Most of it is empty anyways, and they are so disorganized that many times it takes ages for them to mount up a counterfleet for your 5-10 guys.
-There are tons of systems in NPC space which they cannot and do not control.

All in all, this "conquering" thing is very thin, and it is done by way of supercaps and numbers. But those numbers are only called for when facing another blob, most of the time.

I know they have zero impact on my game overall, and I daresay they have very little impact on others that have chosen to play their own game.

I think EVE has been dying for 9 years.....

And subscriptions have never been higher.

Every one needs friends. No harm in having a blue list and Sov is not a mandatory requirment to living in Null.

I'm gone for six months and Eve is still dying?

Perhaps you should totally give up on ever accomplishing anything IRL because the most huge sandbox known as EARTH had EIGHT BILLION people here with a head start on you before you were born.
