I donGÇÖt think this is a player base problem, i think itGÇÖs a CCP problem. The only way to revitalise W-space and the pvp in it, would be for CCP to either add content or change the POS system.
For me the problem comes from the fact that if you role into someone looking for a fight but the people at home canGÇÖt or donGÇÖt want to fight, the attacker has two option; burn the system to the ground or go home and try again. The latter option being chosen 99% of the time.
So unless CCP and our CSM start looking at a wormhole expansion/update, there is little we can do about the situation.
'How long have you been in wspace? Apparently, not long enough. W-space is more populated now than it ever has been.
If you want a conflict driver, then I suggest you move out of your C6 and into a system that attaches to HS....yeah I know....it's not as cool as saying "I live in a C6 I'ma bad muthafcka". Noone wants to travel to your part of space. Now, you get a system with a HS and you have the opportunity to ruin whoever's day everytime they need a route to Jita. As a C2 dweller, I can't really help it if you C5/6 guys like to drop carriers on 3 man fleets when one of your T3's get face punched because obviously, noone from lower w-space can bring a cap fight. At that point, the fight is pretty much over....isn't it?
What you C5/6 guys want is a fight. What you bring is overpowering fleets with +3 guardians, ewar +10 T3's with caps in reserve. Noone from lower w-space is going to fight you because, in the end, you guys run back to your fortresses of solitude to the safety of your cap fleets.
Used to, long ago, we'd have you c6/c5 guys rolling into our C2's and locking down the systems. I don't see that anymore. That's for one of two reasons. One: We've just gotten so good at fighting you guys off or Two: You guys have become major bears. I tend to think it's the latter. You guys want the safety of numbers and frankly, w-space isn't necessarily about numbers.
Ultimately, what you C5/6 guys are looking for are large fleet battles so everyone can have fun. Nothing wrong with that. Problem is, you live in the least populated areas of w-space.....see the problem? You might consider moving to null or losec if you really want to fight....with caps. Otherwise, swallow your pride and move into lower end space. Down here we get pew almost daily and most of it comes right to us when people are looking for routes to hs.
As to a specific conflict driver for w-space, not sure w-space needs the losec/nullsec model.
