Trying NOT to troll here...
1. You jump around for stuff for your ships anyway, so this is not an EPIC FAIL on the FW part, this is just you not having the right stuff already 
2. Only 15? Seriously, ONLY 15??? 
3. Gatecamps have that effect, you know? This is, again, not just an EPIC FAIL on the FW part!
4. Only an hour? Seriously, you only spend an hour plexing???
5. That's what we, Gallente Militia, do as well. No big surprise there...
On the subject of the "daily fleet", yeah, I see your point. But, again without trying to troll, you ARE in the Calamari Malaria. I rarely see anyone from State Protectorate that isn't part of a blob and when I do see them, they tend to run away. Not that the blob doesn't do that anyway. Usually you guys outnumber us and still run away, I just don't get it. Sure, we run too now and then, but of the fleets I have been in, we did more chasing than fighting and running combined. THAT is EPIC FAIL, if anything. And because you guys blob, you get lag, no big surprise there.
Making Arenas in Empire won't help a bit. There are Empire systems with more lag, mainly due to missionrunners and tradehubs, so that is no good. It's not only not in the spirit of EVE, it would also make a new hub for those that came to fight, thus creating more lag.
When CCP told us about Factional Warfare, they stressed that they intended it to be for SMALL FASTMOVING GANGS. That, in my book, is anywhere from 3 to 15 people. Not the 30+ blobs that the Squids are so good at assembling. You guys seriously outnumber any other militia and you use that to your advantage. But while doing so, you create the lag you so very much hate. In the end, it's not CCPs fault for having crappy hardware or bad coding, it's you, the people behind the screens, blobbing. CCP DID try to solve the blob-problem, but some people still see it as the solution to everything.
Creating FW and making different types of complexes was the best thing CCP ever did to this game. It made me, a person that REALLY dislike PVP-combat, willing to not only jump out in lowsec, but also do it alone, in a small and vulnerable ship, without worrying that I might die (and I did actually lose my first pod in YEARS shortly after joining FW) and not caring about the cost to replace implants, ships and modules. I also like to team up with complete strangers, trust them enough to fight along their sides and have fun doing so, while still maintaining the privacy and freedom that comes with not being in a major corp or alliance that has criterias to be met. Now I log in, check the militia channel for fleets I feel like joining and get on with it. Previously, I did missions. Now, I don't feel I have the time to do them, even though I have a nice lvl4 agent in my homebase. And I like it...
