There are a thousand ways you can go about this, but.... right now the HUGE story element which has been driving the war has been deleted. And nothing has been put in it's place.
And this sort of thing is the natural place people do step back and make peace at.
So not having all the 'secret back story plot' information right now makes the situation look extremely odd from a player perspective and sooner rather than later for the reasons for the war continuing full bore would be good. |

What should actually be happening is CCP should either be radically revising the game mechanics in question, or failing that, using the lore as a justification for removing them. If the lore dictates that a game mechanic should be gotten rid of? Get rid of it.
Or write good lore.
If the two sides want to keep using FW as a means of diverting peoples attention from things and to support their own companies, then there should be some lore events happening around that.
A small atrocity here, a small ambush there. Carefully calculated incidents to inflame public opinion without boiling it too high into full scale war again.
Rather than the current situation where all we see is steps towards peace. With some behind the scenes lore arguments. |

FW is broken as hell and we all know it - it's the job of the lore to highlight that, not to prop it up.
Except a specifically manufactured limited war is realistic. We see it in modern reality, and since EVE is about being Human with all the negative things that come with that along with the positives, makes perfect sense to fight a proxy war to keep a whole bunch of people distracted and cowed, and others become rich and happy on the proceeds.
What isn't believable is that this war is being kept going with no visible forces acting on it. Which is where the news needs to include incidents that capsuleers can see are probably manufactured but Joe Public believes are enemy action.
Or FW could reduce in scope obviously to match the current lack of news.
But it does not make it bad lore for CCP to say that there are forces in each government who are making a profit from a proxy war. And who like that profit. |
