Ok lets side step all the complaining that CCP set up high sec players to be killed or that they co-operated the nulls. The fact is this even reveals some depressing info about the balance in military power between null sec alliances and high sec players.
In a very short time these alliances were able to throw together a very effective blockade of a single system kept hidden until shortly before the battle took place using heavy assault cruisers and other advanced tech 2 ships. Meanwhile high sec players for the most part advanced in randomly organised fleets formed from chat and such lacking proper co-ordination. This combined with the tidi that split most of the overall force up meant that numerical superiority was lost.
The end result a massacre in which for the most part ships came in small groups which where easily destroyed. After the event completed (I'm still not sure if it did or not) high sec forces turned into a free for all.
The conclusion that can be drawn from this is that if certain people get their way and all of eve becomes like null sec then the former high sec population is going to get massacred. And goodness knows what's the POCOs situation is going to be like when Rubicon arrives. |

See this is what pisses me off about the current 'peeveepee' crowd. It used to be about gudfites. Now it's just about collecting tears and telling people to deal with it or leave? AND THEN you have the balls to ***** about people not coming to low and nul?
Give me a ******* break. What happened to the game I loved man? |

Yeah, looks a bit like:
"Grow some Balls!" Said the guy sitting on a blaster cannon to the native holding a stick -¦-¦
On a different matter i think its part of the Rubicon background and I take it as a man (even though I might have enjoyed a bit more from it) |

Because having challenging fights instead of killing people who even if they were dc'ed would have made no difference is the same as playing hello kitty online.

Weren't they supposed to show up in crummy ships? That was part of the call. Show up in stuff you don't care if you lose.
Whatever, of course they get trashed by those who showed up in whatever they wanted. |

I didn't want for this thread to devolve into a debate on in game conspiracy theories. I wanted analysis of what this battle says about the balance of power in game. |

Because in eve online you don't cry about jumping a low-sec gate and losing you ship, you get a ******* warning telling you what you are about to do. If you do it anyways and lose your ship, and then run to the forums crying, you are a god damn ****** and they game would be better if you just left.
People lose spaceships because they do stupid things, but when you decide it's better to cry then to learn from you mistakes you are so ******* stupid eve online is just not a game you have then mental capacity to play. |

Why ? There was never a question about where the power is ... no analysis needed. Everyone in high sec who was kidding himself into believing they could stand up against even a low alliance, you know what a delusion is, right ?

So what was the actual target of this Live event?
Hearing alot of tears but not what they were saposed to be doing..
I would of kinda expected them to use empire titans to bridge into the dest location to avoid the issues they had here, but then again I expect that CCP wanted to bring the High sec peps into PvP.. it just didnt go anywhere near aswell as they hopped |

It was to introduce the Ghost Sites for Rubicon via an event. There's a chronicle about it on the wiki. Welp. |

People do things for different reasons wow what a shocker. The game you loved is being strangled by highsec people, hence why the event happened in null/lowsec :smug:. |

I think the original plan was for two 'character' fleets to move into the systems to fight with each other while players supported them in attacking/defending the objective. The only problem being is that on the null sec side one of the alliances (CFC I think) shot the pirate fleet and on the empire side the navy warped in without player support due to the tidi I understand the gallente/minnitar leader was podded. The result is that everyone got shot and it rapidly turned into a pvp gate camp.
Though I will admit on the incursions corps I did get word that there was some activity from a incursion alliance but I don't know how big or if it was an alliance move or just some members of it coming along to see it. |

I have yet to see one location of player strangle another. Stop it with this strawman. Are goons limited to only a few talking points? |

Take a deep breath and remember one thing: People play the game for different reasons. You're utterly right, people lose ships for stupid reasons, but ranting at people isn't going to help convince them to try risking their butt for fun.
Personally I like the fact that Eve attracts all sorts - from PvPers to RPing, to the scammers. It adds diversity to the whole affair. |

Heh. I didn't know that. Thanks for the report.
Well, it was certainly an interesting outcome to say the least.
Pro Tip for CCP: Next time you want actors jumping into nullsec to advertise new content, find a way to cyno the backup.
Wonder how many people are going to use this as a "CCP does not play its own game" argument? I never believed that before when I read it, but today it got just a little harder 
It's of no surprise to me that some elements of content and "storyline" got rubbed out by the usual "kill everything that moves" approach of differing game cultures.
Reminds me of the time when 6 missing bombers pertinent to the backstory of the game were discovered in a wormhole - and got blown up for "PVP reasons". |

another good issue, they said we were there to destroy a pirate research station (creating those upcoming inplants) but for 1 I was never actually told where the station was or how to destroy it. So yeah.
Would like to see an image of what we where actually supposed to destroy. |

See, even if a group of High Seccers became really organised and managed to defeat one of the *Null Sec Cartels* and subsequently take their space, the other High Sec inhabitants would just start regarding them as yet another *Null Sec Cartel*. |
