Agree, hence the pvp-arena, full nullsec creation comments. Pick the sandbox, or pick the themepark. CCP sits on the fence, and pisses off either end of the spectrum, because it's not the game each side wants.

. After several attempts to achieve the goal of building an Alliance and claiming sovereignty on its own terms I've realized this is impossible.

First, and foremost, Eve is dominated by Null-sec. Their culture, tactics, and influence is impossible to counter or side-step. Anyone who attempts to do so is curb-stomped and eliminated. Either you play by their rules, or you can take your toys and go home --the epitome of playground politics.

Secondly, CCP is in love with null-sec. All the members of the CSM are null-sec clowns bowing to the whims of their maniacal masters. CCP's never-ending love affair with the whole damn thing leads them to screw anyone or anything who has an alternative agenda. They incessantly push everyone towards null-sec, while having no consideration for the individual or for the small corporation or alliance.

Either you join a mega-alliance and become cannon-fodder or you really have no viable long-term path in Eve. Nullsec is the end-game of Eve.

I admit I pay rent to (nullsec block) to live in a wormhole.

Every month they take more and more.

Eve is not dominated by null. If that would be truth, then we would not see constant btching from null-bears about "hisec needs to be nerfed" and vice versa..

I love the smell of tears in the morning. So many clueless themeparkers posting in this thread, they don't understand what a sandbox mmo-rpg is.

You know what would be a fun game mechanic? High-sec wages war on 0.0 with the help of Concord

This would be good, I think we would stand a chance with Concord help and we can add more usable space to the game

Power is not seized. It is gained via alliances and friends.

What was the last straw again? I didn't get it. It does seem to me though that you failed on your quest of taking over nullsec but maybe there are other more realistic goals that you can set?

Right back at you, since you are clueless about sandbox mmo-rpg games.

I have a hard time seen what the purpose of making a null-sec alliance without any connection to the rest of null would be, a big part of null is fighting over territory and just fighting in general. If you just want to do you own thing and have your own place, low-sec, npc null or wormholes are probably more suited.

Either you join a mega-alliance and become cannon-fodder or you really have no viable long-term path in Eve. Nullsec is the end-game of Eve.

The real un-sub'ers are those who quietly cancel and vanish without a word. A couple years pass, and someone says 'hey, whatever happened to so-n-so?' But they're gone, and no one knows when or why.

After playing Eve for almost seven years, I have come to an ultimate conclusion. I'm the type of person that wants to find my own path, and not follow under anyone else's rules (nullsec blocks). After several attempts to achieve the goal of building an Alliance and claiming sovereignty on its own terms I've realized this is impossible.

Why? Two main reasons.

First, and foremost, Eve is dominated by Nullsec. Their culture, tactics, and influence is impossible to counter or side-step. Anyone who attempts to do so is curb-stomped and eliminated. Either you play by their rules, or you can take your toys and go home --the epitome of playground politics.

Secondly, CCP is in love with nullsec. All the members of the CSM are nullsec clowns bowing to the whims of their maniacal masters. CCP's never-ending love affair with the whole damn thing leads them to screw anyone or anything who has an alternative agenda. They incessantly push everyone towards nullsec, while having no consideration for the individual or for the small corporation or alliance. Either you join a mega-alliance and become cannon-fodder or you really have no viable long-term path in Eve. Nullsec is the end-game of Eve.

So, I ask in earnest CCP, when are you going to make all of Eve nullsec. When is the patch turning Eve into a pvp-arena? Stop dicking around, and do it, or give the rest of us options. Consider the individual, the small corporation, and the small alliance. Not everyone is interested in doing the bidding of a maniacal bloated psychopath and his personality cult.

For me, it really doesn't matter, it's the last straw. Subscription Cancelled.

Cue the, "Can I have your stuff lines". No, you can't have it, f*ck off.

But that's not a sandbox. That's a theme.
