EVE General Discussion

My impression of nullsec players is that they are semi-afk like high sec miners until the intel channels pipe up about someone who is not blue, then they send a fleet to pop one noob or drop a cap fleet on a small gang doing a roam.

They are semi-afk because they are complaining in the forums about how nobody comes out to nullsec.


If we could give all ships system-to-system warp capability and eliminate the need for gates (by whatever mechanics) then nullsec becomes the uber leet PVP playground that nullseccers like to pretend that it is.

And let's not forget one of the most important aspects: the huge amount of time and effort that is put in on actually defending your turf....

....no wait, my bad. I was thinking about a whole different game.

Ooh I do love it when this happens.


Uh, yeah. We do that. Yes.


The vast majority of nullsec residents never visit these forums. It'd be hard to say semi-AFK when people aren't even logged in, too.


...

During sov warfare, yes. The defenders do have to put in a lot of effort.

If only CCP would make it so that sov warfare was actually appealing, it'd happen more often.

Well, that's the problem. If you start talking about the appealing factor you will automatically get back on the very question why null is so dead, why people in high-sec tend to avoid it, blobs and yada yada yada with all kinds of resulting Baghdad Bob responses from the blob masters.

What I find stupid is that Eve is one of the few games where over 100 people can all work together in a real time battle, yet so much of the player base derides it as "blobs".

Instead of asking about what nullsec players do, a better question is why are people playing one of the most massively multi-player games when they hate working with other people, and even hate other players for working together?

It's true that EVE is rather unique in that it can muster a lot of people together. But it doesn't mean that just because it is possible that it should automatically become the be all and end all solution. Which it more or less currently is. It is not as much about hating people who are working together but rather that you are forced to work with the same group - namely the biggest group - of people to generally get anywhere in null these days.

And of course, say what you want but the fact that a lot of null is rather empty and lots of people avoid null for these very reasons just to name a few still stands strong as ever.

Peter Griffin: I say, Quagmire, it seems to me we've each made another $500 mtrillion dollars isk.
Quagmire: Good thing we swore off womenplaying Eve so we wouldn't be distracted and unable to accumulate this vast amount of wealth.
Peter Griffin: Yes. You watch the ticker. I'm gonna microwave a bagel and have sex with it.
Quagmire: Butter's in the fridge!

No speculation is needed. I have your answer and I have evidence to back it up.
