64%. Ouch.
I couldn't tell you how long Sahtogas has been in Amarr hands but it will be a shame to see it fall. The last defence frazzled a whole lot of people who traditionally lived in Sahtogas. Black Watch Guard have left the area and I don't know if Amarrian Vengeance are still active so I'm not sure how long it will hold out this time. |

It all went downhill after we kicked you out of Arzad (cough, cough). I vote for Christine and Zarnak to reforge the Anarr militia and lead it to glorious new heights. I missed you guys. |

As much as the tendency was to look down on the other side, we sure did have some great fights against each other didn't we?
Oh my god now you've done it! In before rage threads about links, blobs, stabs, cloaks.... I certainly enjoyed being consistently welped and agree totally with your point about people joining FW now. I'm glad I joined when I did. |

Well, you know, I farm inanimate objects for isk and dock up whenever there is a war target or neutral in local. Its what I imagine being in the Minmatar militia is like 
I think my experience is common to many people who have left or or thinking of leaving FW.
I always cared about sovereignty. Its what attracted me to FW as a two week old toon. That semi-roleplay aspect of us versus them wrestling for control of the warzone. So I always defended Amarr systems such as Sahtogas on principle as well as having fights (and this was in the days when defensive plexing didn't reward you with LP).
With the influx of farmers after Inferno you could still get good fights, like we did in Metro when we were fighting Ushra or you guys in Soft Angels, but more and more I found you had to grind out the sovereignty to defend your 'home' system. So you would log in and have to plex for an hour or so that Sahtogas and surrounds didn't get up too high before the EU and US timezones plexed it up again.
After we defended Sahtogas a second time and took Arzad, the AU timezone, I can't really speak for others, became pretty dead. I'd log in and find no fights except for the odd pirate and instead sit in plexes for a couple of hours trying and failing to reduce the damage done in other timezones, Quite simply it wasn't fun anymore. I started logging in less and when I did I rarely enjoyed myself. So I joined a new corp who were feeling exactly the same as I was and we all left FW. Now we rent in null and that, apparently, is the new black.
The break has made me realise just how broken FW is. I always was an opponent of the insane LP rewards you got in FW. They were too high and it was inevitable that it would be farmed or gamed. I've no problem with people who don't care about sovereignty or just want to fleet up and enjoy good fights on the Kam/Kourm gate (after all, most Amarr corps no longer even live in low sec and that in itself is a sad indictment of the state of the war zone). But if you do care about sovereignty then the grind is soul destroying.
TL:DR FW is becoming a place where sovereignty is worthless or a place where you drop an alt in both sides to fund your lifestyle elsewhere. That is f*cked.
By the way, good to see you playing and hope you are feeling better |
