Thanks for the heads up, but we were already planning on moving our stuff out of the FW warzone to Pellile tonight. o/ |

They will stay for a few months (if that), stock up on ISK and faction gear and go away again. If you are a farmer and your pasture has been disturbed then tough it out, if you are not then you are doing it wrong (according to consensus) 
This is horrible! ZOMG more fights?! How am I going to be able to farm when there are so many Caldari flying around? /me ragequitting FW. |

How I see it? Even if my LP become worth crap - I would have an endless supply of Navy Scorpions for a while. That sounds relatively sexy if you ask me.
Not as sexy as my 100 Federation Navy Comets.

Then we're going to crash really, really hard when they leave FW to "go find something more interesting to do". |

No, its not. Killboards that is. Killboards are fun. Give you a little bit to brag about here and there, but all they really are is inflated stats. You know what I am talking about. You do less than 1% damage on a kill, you dont get the killing shot, and the damn thing still winds up on your killboard isk eff %. It isnt for any one person to dictate to EVE what THEY think FW is about. Maybe you like to stat pad your killboard, maybe others like to system flip. And yes, flipping systems can involve PVP. I havent ever seen a group of stabbed ventures flip an ihub.
I personally like looking at the raw FW stats. The kills posted here are "Final Blows" - not just killboard stats like you say. They are a better reflection of pvp activity of your corp and militia.
https://api.eveonline.com/eve/FacWarTopStats.xml.aspx
What it shows is that JUSTK, QCATS, and Black Fox Marauders have been killing lots of stuff since TEST joined FW. BFM in particular have been hitting way above their weight.
btw this list also shows that Dreddit has been getting a few final blows over the past week as well.
As a whole, Gallente militia has been roflstomping the Caldari non-stop (on a kills level), but the Caldari have been finishing more plexes (probably more farming overall). |

Trolling aside, this is a serious post. Look, this might just be because I "grew up" in sov warfare and kills mean essentially nothing there, but could you please give me a reason why kills matter in the slightest in FW? I have asked lots of galmil dudes on lots of occasions but I have never gotten a clear answer. Like, no reason at all, just the usual shittalk. So please answer me this simple question: Why do KBstats matter in factional warfare or lowsec in general? No hurf, no bragging, just a simple answer that helps me understand your mindset would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
First and foremost what matters is the morale of the militia. Our guys want to have fun, and fun means kills to most of them. Some of our guys get off on system control, and others get off on griefing Damar as much as possible. Whatever.
Fun does not involve competing against afk plexing alts in systems where we don't live. So, we just accept that afk farming plexing alts are better at that part of the game than we are and we go do something else like compete for system control where players actually DO live. (The map is simply too big, or the number of active players in FW isn't big enough - either way).

Yeah, that part is true. But honestly, the inability of the Calmil corps to work together rockets this stuff over the top. For example, nothing my corp can do about a qcat blob. They like to 15v2 whenever they can. Im not saying I wouldnt do it if the tables were turned, but my corp cant fight that. We may have 6 ppl online at average. The surrounding Calmil'ers are mostly farmers ( didnt lift a finger to help defend Fliet, Deven, or Heyd) or "uneasy blues" that shoot you for "stealing" their LP. But yeah, that raw data is a decent indicator. Is there a killboard that just does that and not the inflated stuff?
I will say that Caldari get more kills than Gallente when our Tier level is higher than theirs. Killing farmers is a past time that both "pvp-centric" sides do when they get the chance.
The other thing is that "somebody has to lose". The goal of sov control give players a purpose to go out and pew. If your side cannot control systems, then the next best thing to do is pick some figure of merit or goal that you can be successful at and go for it.
