I think this joke that has been put forth as "occupancy Sov" can best be summed up with a simple statement an Alliance mate of mine came up with.
Quote:Ahh, occupancy SOV.
Instead of SBU/TCU grind, just place few cloaked cyno ceptors/tech3s in system, and mercilessly hotdrop all ratters, denying the occupancy ratting. Then come with 50+ carriers/titans/tech3s fleet, do few plexes, flip sov, camp undock. Profit?
The Future of SOV Wars...
The problem is not and has not ever been ( "insert some inanimate object here POS, TCU, IHUB, Station" ) the problem has always been how can it get done easier, How many times have we heard the cry I dont want to log in and put forth any effort. I want to drop fifty eleven supers and grind with impunity and be done as fast I can so I can go play another game until something exciting happens, or I can **** in someones cheerios.
The big "excuse" of I need fifty eleven people to flood a system and crash a node or create 1% tidi IS player sandbox made and player sandbox caused. No structure, no POS, no TCU, no IHUB, no Station ever caused the problem, the will of the people caused it with the incessant cry of boredom. And out of the same mouth came cries of too many blues and CCP ruined SOV.
CCP had nothing to do with ruining SOV. The masses upon masses who need to create elaborate coalitions, boatload of bullcrap accords, and rent vast amounts of space to subsidize their members because "effort" to go rat and buy a ship. People want to play but dont want to work at having to play.
I have called it the Obama effect for about 6 years now, take from the ones who put forth effort and give to the ones who wont or are too worthless to do so unless subsidized. The true heart of the matter is not what object to grind, destroy, occupy, it is the gamer mentality we have here in Eve, and it stems from real life, give anyone anything for free and they will show up, make them work for it and they wont. People are expected to get everything for free and not put forth any effort for it.
People who live in 0.0 want their cake and want to eat it as well. You used to have to work to gain sovereignty, it used to take a week, not 4 days at best. Now I can just drop my big phallus machine and let a drone of some type do the work for me. You know the no effort way.
CCP Find a way to stop the renting empire, the passive moon incomes, side deals, boatload of crap initiatives, moving fleets within a blink of an eye across the galaxy in minutes, and the smaller guy might one day have a chance. Until then nothing you do for anyone who cries SOV sucks will ever be enough. |
