Wormholes

/me facepalm

To be super technical, we never did perform an eviction. They still had ships logged off in that wormhole, meaning they were still residing there...TAKE THAT GNAW

I remember my first eviction for Aquila, we rocked up in our RR BS's to claim a C5 > C3 wolf rayet, we didn't need no blue lists or mercs then.
But soon after half the corp ****** off to a new hole cos they were too l33t for us with their fancy T3's and co-ops cloaks.
/me not bitter

Wait what, are people here claiming that it is an eviction only if you set up a permanent 24/7 watch in the system? Now THAT is splitting hairs big time.

Invasion/evictions or whatever you want to call it, shooting the structures is the main event and the action that makes things happen regardless of how thoroughly you finish cleaning up the remainders. Splitting hairs over semantics is just pointless.

I get a feeling you guys might just be trolling Gnaw... naaah. I must be wrong.

I have removed some trolling and off-topic posts from this thread.

That is a completely legitimate view and for the most part, i agree that this news may do little to encourage new people to move into wormhole space but on the other hand, we don't know that for sure... I guess i was arguing for the principle that any publicity is good publicity.

I think there is a bigger question here: If CCP leave it to us to advertise and attract new people to wormhole space, how can this be done without grabbing media attention through evictions/invasions, corp thefts and blueing up to fight null sec entities?

Hopefully, then every wormhole corp will be able to bring a blob to a fight

That's what brought me to W-space in the first place.

Small and medium gang "warfare", without all the sperglord shiptoaster instigation in local that low and null is rife with. Unfortunately it's becoming more of a trend for people in W-space to troll local to get a fight by being insulting. Or hurling racial epithets after getting thier stuff shot. I fear the worst of null sec locker-room mentality has been gaining traction in W-space culture.

And it's been a while since the collective forces of W-space have decended upon null sec interlopers into the Kingdom of Bob.

For Bob's sake I ran across a C5 that had a Goon farming op in it! They PoSed up at the first sign of potential hostility of course. RR Tengus and Dreads for escalations. Five, yes five, Noctis salvaging. Why there hasn't been a collective push to truly evict these Sov-holding heathens from our space, is beyond me.

I predict that the upcoming patches, teiricide and Odyssey may be a big game changer in W-space. Anything that deals directly with exploration will ultimately change the way we play the game.

It's also pretty clear that the dust really hasn't settled from the Battle of Loveshack.

It makes me more than a little sad to see TL get "structure wiped" or evicted or whatever you want to call it now. When I personally feel that there are better candidates for such things. Eg, Nullsec interlopers. I don't think that it really had to come to that conclusion, but this is W-space and sometimes this **** happens. It's just a reality.

I would like to see everyone just take a step back, breathe a little, and relax. TL isn't gone from W-space. They're obviously rebuilding. They haven't given up, vacated, and went back to Kay Spayce.

Why is this allowed to happen? Allowing these farming entities to continue will hurt our income. The income makes it easier to have our glorious fights.

It's one thing to sell to null people. That's why we get the resources and drop them in k-space. Want to see what happens when we let it? Look at OTEC and the Tech market.

You all think a fleet of 135 is bad? Wait until these nullsec coalitions get the mechanics down. They could fit hundreds in a J-system within hours, since they could titan bridge fleets every time they rolled a LS.

These huge blobs were always inevitable... we all knew this would happen, more and more people have been drawn into wormhole space, specifically upper class wormholes in the past year. It is only human nature to team up with others to defend a common belief, no one can stop that. Wormhole space is at a crossroads, do the leaders of w-space want to allow their corporations/alliances/coalitions to evict people who give goodfites and leave only groups who use 15 guards, multiple webbing lokis, and a few blap dreads? The day that all the groups who are not capable of fielding these numbers are evicted, is the day that wormhole space, or classical wormhole space will die.

There is still multiple ways of preventing this from happening, there needs to be less evictions and less log on traps and more good fair fights.

Just my opinion.
