It seems to me you're just mad at the few big groups because they won't evict each other. Yet you go on to say:

Would you rather we engineer our own lack of space and money? In who's benefit would that be? Sure evictions are content generators, but squabbles over nothing are well beyond pointless. I like to think wspace has the most intelligent population of players, so is it a surprise we've realized the futility of your desired "content"?
Angsty Teenager wrote:It's stupid to compare w-space to k-space, the systems are completely different. You are correct in saying that the same thing has happened in k-space as has happened in w-space--this is player nature. I'm not arguing this. But the fact is that while both are a joke, WH's are more of a joke because there is literally nothing else, while in k-space there are many many many more avenues to get pvp and content out of than for w-space.
So it's our fault wormhole mechanics prevent us from experiencing more "avenues to get pvp and content"? We live in a broken system, there's no doubt about that. Is this something players can fix? I have my doubts. Even exploring your "disband the circlejerk" argument, sure we'd have a few evictions off the bat but then we'd run out of entities in wspace. Back to the original problem, this time with fewer people around to notice.
If you want groups to start brawling, there needs to be a motive. Look at the recent SSC/ADHOC action: it was an old feud. A personal grudge. What did SSC get out of it? A little content, and now there's 1 less contender in wspace. There are only two reasons to fight in wormholes these days, and that's out of desperation for content or a personal grudge. Again, is this a player-created problem? Not as far as I can see.
So where's the motive to disband this "circlejerk"? I don't see one. As much as I'm all for content, I don't think making groups hate each other is the right approach. More content can only come from more people actively involved in the space, hence the reason for this campaign. Sure it means the "circlejerk" gets larger, but it also means everyone's having a good time shooting each other.
