Nullsec is held by large monolithic alliances whose overlords pocket all the lucrative wealth while leaving the rest of the faceless puppets with scraps.

"Why should I spend my money and time, serving some overlords?"
******************************
YOU SHOULDN'T
******************************

This is probably one of the biggest reasons why many don't want to go to null, why should I spend my money and my free time working another job for another boss.

Nullsec is for delusional fools who are tricked by tales of grandeur fed to them over nullsec overlords who want more slaves and underlings fighting for them. Moon mining is a very profitable venture along with Real Money Trade. Nullsec alliances and coalitions ensure smooth operations and maximum profit. This is pocketed by the upper echelon and the bottom sees nothing.

"What's in it for me?"
***********************
NOTHING !
***********************
To be honest, there is really nothing nullsec offers you over anywhere else if you a simple underling. Those who make profit are only a handful and the rest are expected to look out for themselves. Fleet fights are boring and lagtastic. Its as fun as watching paint dry. There is no skills or tactics, just simply mindless blobbing.

Nullsec leaves you as a faceless grunt with fairly little to gain.

I have been in nullsec many times, each experience leaving me with disappointment and dissatisfaction.

Nullsec makes the game feel like another job, and this is a game which one should be able to enjoy with friends and companions, not bosses and drones.

As long as you have nullsec overlords and massive alliances, nullsec will stay as it is.

TEST's military arm is built entirely around the concept of drive-by trolling. We assemble massive fleets, so huge no one dares get in our way lest they evaporate, and then sit in POS bubbles until we get so frustrated that we bridge into hostile systems and **** up local something fierce (I have never seen local move faster than a TEST troll driveby, its truly impossible to read). Then we go back home and call it a moral victory.

BTW, this is seriously how the CFC took 6VDT and crushed IT. Massive, 23/7 trolling and station camping. We trolled them to death.

Also, the OPs entire post falls apart when you realize that said "evil overlords" are paying for every single ship you lose and dumping ISK into making fun things happen (if you joined the right side).

it is not a matter of supporting or disagreeing with a "view" - it is reality. when 1000 people want one thing, and 15 want another, 1000 will win. end of story. and the guy with the most friends is the guy who will dominate a conflict, whether you're talking politics, a minor disagreement, a video game, whatever.

you can hate it all you want - but we are social creatures who managed to reach the top of the food chain because of one thing and one thing only - we work together better than any animal on earth. we "blobbed" every threat to our survival out of the picture. but please, go on arguing against logic, common sense, and reality.

If you really believe what you just said, then you have never been to nullsec.

99% of what you do in nullsec is your initiative and your decision.

And if you couldn't detect how tongue-in-cheek that post was... then what can I say?

China is far more influential than any western nation in Asia, which has more than half the world's population. So it kinda does? And its on its way to dominate the rest of it. Also, if you analyze why nations like England got to be such a big deal, you merely add more support to the reasons that nullsec alliances maintain superiority - infrastructure, income, organization, etc.

Second, in what ****** up universe is 15 people having a shot at defeating 1000 balanced? it isn't. I don't think you have a concept of how many people are in those "blobs" you hate so much. People with an equal right to do as they please as you. Except 1000 of them decided that what they pleased was to kill you, and you want your opinion, as the extreme minority, to be the decider. what.

visiting 0.0 a few times =/= living there full time - you don't learn ****, as is apparent by the hilariously misinformed blathering that followed that claim.

I could find out that TEST and Goon leadership were embezzling billions of ISK, and honestly, I wouldn't give two *****, because they still dump billions of ISK every week into paying for losses, creating fun things to do, hilarious projects, etc. The CFC is very member-centric.

except those benefits? they actually happen.

poor testies so easily trolled

welcome to the internet, home of Poe's Law.

Except this guy was the same moron who suggested this, so all signs point to mouthbreather, considering his terrible attempts to self-upvote and disguise himself while retaining precisely the same writing style, down to those stars after every quote.

ECONOMICAL LOGIC ERROR

your proposing "cents on the dollar" as if they should be paid a better ratio...

companies have expenses
companies have many employees

if you pay your employee 2 cents per every dollar the store makes in profit, then you have the maximum ability to have 50 employees, and zero growth for the store.

more then likely, lets say for example wal-mart, will pay each employee in that store about 1/3 a cent per dolalr made in store profits (not that you pay is dependent on store sales, but it is an example of what money they would reserve for wages would be drawn from). if thy paid them mroe the company woudl go out of business.

so eys, im sure that TEST players would LOVE to be making more money from the corp itself, but that would run the risk of too much money going out at once, which would necessitate the closing of programs such as ship reimbursement.


now im no expert on the economics of TEST, but in any business, expecting to be paid more then "cents on the dollar" by your company is mighty unrealistic and absurd.

i think your problem is you never took the time in elementary or middle school to learn econoimcs, am i right?

Actually, our leadership does divulge revenue sources and expenses. We publish our finances and our auditor is obliged to publish every financial discrepancy in his monthly report, and he has the full director APIs for the relevant corps.

This is fairly dated, but it gives you a good idea of how our ISK is spent.

But please keep suggesting that we're all slaves keeping The Mittani's moongoo empire running.

Feel free to give me a more convincing argument concerning the alleged trillions of ISK that The Mittani embezzles for his alleged RMT empire than "YOU JUST DON'T SEE IT MAN."

Hold on, I think this guy thinks that there are people who take him seriously.
