Rigor Issier Cresent Shade 0	Posted - 2016.10.01 17:02:40 - [1] - Quote Hello spavebros, to start with, I really love EVE. EVE is still unique as a game and I hope that this monopoly will not destroy CCP in the long run. But some times CCP gives me shakes of horror.. As I read the CSM minuites this sentence triggerd sad memornies of CCP destroying faction warfare with the deletion of battlecruiser size plexes: "The CSM asked CCP how satisfied was with how the Entosis Link system worked out. CCP responded that they underestimated how much the change from firing weapons and doing damage to a pure timer system would impact the experience." Everyone who flew in faction warfare knows that plexes in faction warfare are engagment filters. Faction warfare had its best time in the age of battlecruisers -. due the the battlecruiser size plexes and the unrestricted plexes. So, generally speaking, CCP did omit the filter option of faction warfare plexes and made entosis "orbiting a button". No one likes entosis - as no one in faction warfare loves "orbiting a button". Faction warfare is all about PVP - only the farmers, thatt CCP made possible, do not grasp the simple concept of faction warfare: Fight! The conclusion of this is, CCP really thought that the prominence of faction warfare came from "orbiting a button" and not a filter option to encourage more balanced fights. So in EVE, a game focused on PVP, CCP does not understand that people want to fight. Fighting against blobs in lame. Faction warfare plexes are the only real engagment filters in EVE. Entosis forces a player to make his ship combat unworthy. This is anathema the the general princile of EVE - PVP, Why did CCP copoed the worst stuff from faction warfare and let the best part fall? That is really hard to understand. Today faction warfare is a wasteland. Few people roam - only svioul cancer gate camps are seen. Null sov will become the same, because no one wants to do entosis. So why not make faction warfare great again and give it its proper engagement filters back? And null sow - make it an ecact copy of faction warfare as it did work. Null sov has the huges advantage that it must not tolerate farmers.

If you do not want to get blobbed or hot dropped - the only place you can get an engagement filter is faction warfare. Faction warfare is the model for null sec. Null sec never really worked. Faction warfare worked great - then the nerf hammer hit (the end of the age of battlecruisers). So if faction warfare is the model for null sec faction warfare is important for EVE and CCP. This is a simple fact. If you want to copy sometthing (faction warfare) but kill it, and then copy the dead corpse (orbiting a button) to another place (null sec) you will only futher lessen the quality of you product (EVE). I care for EVE and its health. Right now we see a peroid of decline and instability. The only question is: Will CCP start to listen to their customers and provide the content their customers want? PS.: It is true that Black Rise has a bit of life left whereas the Bleak Lands are dead. PSS.: Conflict and evasion - only possilbe when you have an engagement filter.
