Quote:Corps/Alliances not as serious about the game?
Smaller groups of people don't want to get noticed?
They are perfectly content where they are?
So..........
I'm not sure how exactly to word this. I'll try though. You've met us Bane, so you at least can have an idea of what we are like.
Here's the other side of the coin though from my perspective as the leader of a w-space corp.
When I first moved my corp into a lower-class WH it was a learning experience. A lot of dying and trial by error (and dying). It also started very small. In fact at first it was just two people, we were serious about it though. This bears explaining, you can be serious about spaceships but not serious about making a go of W-space, let me elaborate....
When we started I did lots of research/scouting and prep. I had an expectation that it would be brutal, I remember when I first tried living in null knew it would be worse. I scoured this forum, I googled, read blogs....watched videos and killboard fits and generally spent a month combing the interwebs for every form or tidbit I could find related to wormholes to get a better idea. Throughout that (w)hole time though I was silent.
I never posted, or really interacted.....it all payed off in making the jump to w-space work well for us though. We found we liked the style of play and the way it rewarded the dedicated. Ill be frank, if you can make starting off in low-class w-space work your either dumb or lazy, maybe both but that is perhaps just my view. I personally made it work because I looked for info. That's IMO the difference because a successful W-space person and just a tourist. If you can't figure things out on your own or at least find the answers without being shown them you'll just fight a losing uphill battle against bobs whims.
So fast forward, new corp new to w-space players with a foothold in a J-number. Yes we didn't want to be noticed, and yes we were content where we were it fulfilled the needs we had. It took us a while of experience and object lessons and making friends (in the only true way of w-space, that of being murdered by them first) because we really got to the point where we felt like we had some of those answers and opinions to offer on what we feel about w-space. TLDR, we observed and lurked (scouted the targets in the parlance of our peoples) before we felt we had learned enough to join in the fun.
That being said, having grown as a player beyond the newbro who wrote the j-number of each bookmark into wormholes, having grown from a corp of 2 to a partner in an alliance and taken on the roles of helping to mentor the newbros we have taken on guess what.........we left lower class wormholes.
We reside in C5 now because much like the earlier C2 fulfilled our needs the C5 and the options it gives us are what we are looking for.
I think its kind of a case of cosmic coincidences. That same reasons/things to do/factors that lead people to not really interact/be vocal are the same reasons they don't live in the higher class wormholes. Bane, look at it this way. When your new in town the wormhole bogeyman is a terrifying spectre it takes a while to realize the shadow he casts is worse then his bite. (Unless your a farmer ;D )
Quote:I really want to express that "little guys" are as much a part of the W-space community as those of us that are "Elitist Wormhole Jerks". I have heard comments in the past expressing disdain for c1c4 people as being nothing but carebears and deserve nothing more than purgation by fire. I don't think that's fair. Carebears can be turned into Kodiaks, and being dismissive of small groups of guys isn't helping anything. Sure its true, there are a lot of carebears in low-class. Theres also the odd group like us that is just finding their sea legs and working hard to become and eliteist jaded bunch of assholes. :D |
