Serious question. No trolling.
Why is everyone so enamored with what goes on in null sec?
It seems like every other post on the forum is about RMT, blue doughnuts, who's fighting who, who isn't fighting who, drama played out on internal forums, blogs from 3rd party sources. What is the obsession with null? As far as I can tell, this is supposed to be the "end game" of EVE. At least it was intended that way, to be the pinnacle of what this game is about. Instead it all reads like a cheap dime store novel.

5 pages blah blah
what I think: there's plenty of skirmishes and pvp in null, but the big conflicts over space have dried up because of the massive coalitions and unwillingness to ~risk~ things
imo wormholes, or at least the way they were a month or two ago before I took a Real LifeGäó break, were much more interesting on that front |

In order to make the conclusions you are jumping to, you'd have to have information that this is somehow new.
It isn't.
Null sec has gone through stages of stability and instability the entire time EVE has existed. Look back at the old Northern Coalition. Look at the pre-drone poo nerf Drone Regions etc etc.
Null Sec has been the same regardless of who has owned whatever parts of it, and was the same even when the SOV system was totally different. What's different now is that 2 huge pwoer bocls are at least sparring with each other, killing ships and driving the EVE online market to replace what is being destroyed.
The most ironic thing is that the high sec carebears (mining and building ships and trading in LP for stuff pvpr's need) laughing the most about blue donuts are the ones making all the "Blue Dough" being generated by Goons and TEST shooting at each other. |

The term "End Game" implies some pinnacle of progression, that every player should aspire to become involved in.
That's not what Null is. That's not how eve works. It's a matter of scope. That's where the large organizations forge their own world to play in as they see fit. It's the place for massive fleets that make the server cry tears of lag and a vast political scene. Smaller organizations hide and thrive in other parts of space, having their own "end game" that in no way involves null.
If you want to call it "End Game" content then CFC/HBC has "finished" the game. Just like large, cutting edge organizations in every other MMO. Who go into farm mode, once they have beaten the available content. Then screw around on main-funded alts and wait for the release of the next expansion.
Why is any of this surprising to so many people? |

That pretty much sums it up.

The funny thing is that we've been more active lately than in the past. The constant moon/sov wars in 2012 (Branch sov war, Branch/Venal moon war, Tenal sov war, Delve war, another Venal moon war, Tribute war) only bred burnout. After the liberation of Tribute and Vale, the vast majority of the CFC was content to do sub-bloc level deployments to different parts of the map. The huge fights that make the news are great to read about, but not that fun to engage in once TiDi kicks in, sadly.

after 1 month of visiting low-sec i still don't see any reasons to actually LIVE there. Visit it for pew-pew is Ok. Trading? Maybe too.
But living there? Why? What for? Still isn't clear for me.... |
