Had a break from eve for a month or two and am looking to try out some easy PvP. Pretty limited PvP experience other than the odd Low Sec fight and a bit of WH anxiety. What would people recommend, joining FW or RvB?

Also only on during Aussie times, though I'm sure this shouldnt be too much of a prob for either.

Depends. Do you want a quick and easy way to get back into PvP, or do you want to make disgusting amounts of ISK with zero skill or effort by utilizing a broken system while very loudly claming that it isn't in fact broken and that everything is working as intended?

The choice, my friend, is yours.

I was initially looking for a quick and easy way to get back into PvP.... does FW not provide that?

That being said 'make disgusting amounts of ISK' sounds pretty damn enticing... are the activities involved boring etc? Is it just the isk reward is imbalanced or is the PvP crap?

Havn't done either, and in all honesty I have no problem with going for the one that makes more ISK if they are both equally rewarding as far as game enjoyment goes.

RvB - Consensual PVP
FW - Orbiting **** in a frigate and get paid billions for it

These is not the activities you are looking for !

Everybody's too busy orbiting things at high speed to fight anybody.

Theres a shed load of PVP to be had from Faction Warfare. Ignore the haters, they are always there making every part of the game sound dull and boring.

Personnally for me

RVB = lots of arranged fights
FW = Lots of PVP in small gangs of whatever you want to fly

I prefer faction warfare as arranged fights are not my thing at all. The fights in FW are not always fair but thats not the point.

I like the idea of spontaneous fights a lot more than the arranged ones, as long as they actually happen fairly often. I think you've convinced me enough Andro to give FW a try.

I stand corrected.
