I've said it numerous times: An actual goal for small roaming gangs in nullsec like raidable moonmining arrays.

I absolutely loathe Blobwarfare, structure grind and timers giving the defender days of time to get their super-blob in place and there is no single strategic/financial goal to roam nullsec in a small gang except some desperate killmail e-peening.

Likewise, there's no incentive for sov-holders to defend their space against small roaming gangs - poses are safe, bots warp to pos-shields, so why bother with a couple of ants crawling around my backyard if they can't even steal a crumb from my cake?

Dominion warfare with all its structure grind and timers encourages the unpopulated supercap wasteland we currently have in eve's 0.0.

I left 0.0 well before dominion, because I was somewhat bored with the actual pointlessness of small gangs, despite having had great fights (used to be in CH back then) and left for FW, which unfortunately turned out to be completely broken.

After a while, I ended up in a merc alliance that unfortunately ended up in that arena-like abomination providence had become and left as soon as they got involved in that BS, so I didn't really get to experience dominion warfare in its full glory...

The last time, I rejoined 0.0 for a couple of months earlier this year to make sure the NC would be killed properly this time - and boy was I glad to leave after its demise was certain.

Blobs, grind, timers, blobs, grind, timers, more blobs...

Unfortunately, that's all current mechanics encourage people to do - once that's changed, I'll probably give it another go, until then, I hope for the promised changes to FW to give that another go...
