Yes, I would also like to advertise our services. We help corps make the transition from K-Space to W-Space. Just go ahead and contract all your assets that you want to move into W-Space to us and let us know what type of WH you want. We'll get it all set up for you! |

guys pls angsty is cool.
Stop hating because someone disagrees or isn't in a WH corp, doesn't mean opinions are invalid.
While it's a cool idea to get more people in, would you say this channel and helping them in general will make you more or less likely to fight them when you roll in?
What if they consistently deny you fights? Will you evict them? If thuggin' was a category I'd win a Grammy |

In the brief period of time I've been in the channel, the majority of players looking to get into wormholes wanted to know all about the PVE so they could go bear in W-Space.
And that's fine.
More people in W-Space is good and more opportunities for interactions. Would these same people get evicted? Who knows, but I wouldn't want to. Evictions are a lot of work, bears rarely fight back with evictions, and their assets likely aren't worth the trouble.
So far the channel seems successful in getting people to ask questions and talk to people in the community. Based on last night, it needs better sub-C5 representation to help answer questions about what things are like there after the various changes recently. |

I've been on the channel as much as i can while online and keeping eye on it. Sure I'm a dirty low-classer but originally i came for some bit better PVE content and found my self enjoying the PVP aspect of wormholes way more and now its bulk of what i do most days, resolve chains to find targets and cause fights with good targets that are active and on. If and when i feel the urge to move on i doubt ill leave the w-space. |

On the original topic: Anyone who's willing to help newbros will receive the full support of myself and my corp. I have and continue to ask for and receive guidance from others in this game. This transfer of knowledge is invaluable and helps to build the WH community as a whole.
I hope that this project is successful and we get more active PVP entities in WH space.
There is a blue donut, regardless of whether you deny it or not. It's exacerbated by the fact that your large C5/C6 corps just hoover up everybody because you're all scared of fighting in small gangs.
You realize you would have WAY MORE active pvp entities in w-space if you just stopped hugging each other like scared little girls in your home wormhole and spread out your players over many smaller corps living in the same area?
You want to win, nothing wrong with that, but asking for new people to come in at the same time while you're content to sit twiddling your thumbs waiting for somebody to find a group of escalation farmers so you can call all of w-space to come gank is a hoot and a holler indeed.
Also my main point in this thread was that Gunner GzR is dumb and shouldn't be in charge of teaching anybody anything, not the sad state of affairs of w-space which is already apparent to anybody with a brain. |

That's some mad bitter Suyer.
In every area of space, content creators are at a premium, and in W-Space there's not much low hanging content for people to grab if one of the content creators isn't around, so people tend to just log off, exacerbating the issue. PL itself does this exact same thing. Hoards FCs, planners, content creators, so that the strain isn't so great on a few and so that someone is always around to make things happen. So why did you go join them? This problem isn't unique to W-Space, it's just within it's own context. |

Exactly, the problem is that people in w-space are unwilling to become content creators, and their aren't enough currently. The problem is the people in w-space. The changes to w-space making it less favorable compared to other space doesn't help either, but we're not discussing that--I think we can all agree CCP needs to focus on making w-space a more attractive part of eve.
Also what does my corp/alliance have to do with this? I'm not making the claim that PL is better than all, some, or any wormhole corps. Also stereotyping is bad m8 but I'll allow it because it do it as well ; just because I joined PL doesn't mean PL is representative of myself nor myself representative of PL. You are right in some sense--if I was following what my previous statements said to the letter, I wouldn't be in PL, I'd be trying to start a small pvp corp. But conveniently, k-space has plenty of pvp opportunity without having to do this, so there is no need. W-space is a different story. As you said, "there's not much low hanging fruit".
All I'm trying to say is that if you want more low hanging fruit, you have to change the way the wormhole meta operates, barring favorable changes by CCP.
(Also I got a free super when I joined PL, u mad lol?) |

This is a game, after all, so not many people are willing to put in what it takes to run a successful corp in EVE, not to mention when you enlist the help of directors and such there's the whole ~trust~ thing. Others, like myself, don't have the time. I've thought many times about making my own corp, but it'll failscade when I'd rather go drink at a bar than log in to kill those ratters someone tackled.
As for you and being in PL, it was solely to point out that skilled groups collecting content creators isn't a unique W-Space issue and we're all guilty of taking the easier path of joining groups that don't require us to carry all the weight sometimes. I know who you are and that you know your **** in W-Space as a player. Also, a free super is a pretty good reason, lol.
Anyway, this is the best initiative someone's come up with so far to try and encourage growth so if I can't start up a corp, I'll at least try to help others do it and support this in the process. |

You should be trying to encourage growth internally as well. That's my problem with the meta in w-space. There is no heavy conflict driver between large groups so there is no need for people to step and do stuff--instead they can just wait around for somebody with initiative to come along. Leadership is born out of necessity.
You actually have to get your corp to care about a conflict for this to happen--thats why the current wormhole circlejerk is such a joke, all fights between major groups are irrelevant because there is no major driver behind them. |

Major conflicts, those between major groups, are led by the best FCs and planners. I don't think that would encourage new people to step up, it would just motivate the capable. Evictions don't necessarily take breadth of talent, just depth. When I was in Bite Me, a very small handful of people ran the whole show but they were pretty damn good at it and it worked. Then the corp died when those leaders couldn't be on 24/7 anymore.
I don't think evictions are the way forward for wormholes. AHARM started W-Space off with that culture and from what I understand they believe that they are the "victims of their own success"...I think that was said somewhere. Anyway, wormholes need new blood in my opinion. New groups, new leaders, new people who don't know who all the vets are, don't care, and are just out to have their new adventure like we all did back in the day. I do agree with you that leaders can be developed but I disagree with you on how that will happen.
I don't think it helps our cause when wormholers chest beat about how dangerous wormhole space is and tell new players they'll die instantly when they set foot inside of a wormhole because we're all so dangerous and ~elite~. We all know that's not true. We need to help new people and corps get their footholds in W-Space, then help them transition if they want to go to higher class space. It's extremely difficult and unrealistic to expect a group to just settle into C5/C6 space then go jousting with the established groups.
Getting people to settle high class space is going to be a long term project, and luckily, the community is small enough that we might actually be able to agree on what it takes to do that. |

I think you're out of touch. The fact is that AHDC got evicted because they weren't part of the circlejerk because they weren't even playing. If somebody tried to evict LZHX or whoever, the defending party would call everybody and everyone--and they would all come. That's the problem--it's impossible to have any meaningful wars in w-space because the be all end all--eviction--simply will not happen.
I don't know why everybody believe eviction is such a bad thing anyway, it's good for w-space, it forces people to either break up their corps, restructure and come back stronger, or gives room for new leadership and content creators to do new things. It shakes up the status quo and that allows for much more dynamic gameplay. People who actually want to play in wormholes won't leave, the people who don't will. That's fine.
Hilariously, as proof to this point, evreybody involved in the ADHC eviction had a good time according to their thread, though I think they're all just delusional. |

The difference is that in other areas of space there are many more entities that aren't part of the circlejerk and plenty of content that can be found and had in other areas. The dynamics are completely different, there are contests for space, moons, money that can and do happen in k-space, but don't in w-space because as freeman said, there is no driving lack of space or money.
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. |

Yes, and it just goes to show how little the w-space community actually cares about intra wormhole pvp. I would love if there was more content from CCP but I also think that if wormhole players stopped being so concerned about each other's opinion there could be a lot more content right now.
