Copious Reinforce timers killed any joy in killing structures.

Massive slap in the face of bothering with aggression

Defenders get all the love so everyone is a defender (except for the occasional abhoration of a fight where someone turns aggressive and is decisively blobbed )

That's not CCPs dream I imagine. The fighting yes, the sitting around for a fail cascade no).

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

You understand that, just like in real life, most people are followers, not leaders. That creates this situation, is it any surprise that the leader cast takes advantage of it?
CCP created this mess years ago by creating a massive isk fountain of moon goo. After years of making a few Alliances absurdly space rich, they then attempted a nerf of this income, which failed miserably and concentrated the profits into a single moon. This again continued for over a year before they once again attempted a nerf.
The large alliances, sensing that CCP might eventually not fail in their nerf attempts, and addicted to the isk faucet, started getting serious about renting again, the isk must flow....

So, does that answer your question?

You're expecting something other than human nature to apply in a sandbox....

All I hear is crying. Waah Waah Waah. We can't play the game the way we want.

If you could organize, you could take renter space away from someone. If you wanted to have fun, griefing renters is great.

But people don't do that. They come on the forums, the lowest form of meta game, and complain.

They suck at Eve so they cry about it.

Even if CCP does something to counter renting, at this point, one has to realize that these big, powerful, well organized blocs will just find something else to control and exploit. That's because THEY ARE GOOD AT WHAT THEY DO.

The way to counter them is to be better.

I have never seen a whiner capable of carrying his own water, so thats probably not going to happen.

All The Isk.

By the way, there's still space in Period Basis and Branch, so if you're thinking about renting, shoot me a mail, we'll see what works for you.

Or you could rent from progodlegend. But then beware the cfc groups

This is purely about where nullsec is going and that its just turned into a giant rental doughnut when really the alliances SHOULD be exploting the nullsec resources, thats why they are there!


Exploiting what resources? Because if you're talking about renting, you're talking about nearly worthless truesec.

The nigh worthless asteroids? The 5 or 6 anoms per system per day? The colossal waste of time to improve the system level?

There is nothing there. That's why the alliances don't use it.

If you really want people to use the space they have, then we need to nerf highsec badly enough that the elephant in the room isn't crushing everyone else with isk efficiency.

Otherwise, you're just spouting off.

Because its our space and we're allowed to choose what we do with it, if you want a say go get your own space and do what you want with it? That sounds like a pretty good "why its not" to me.

Alternatively Pandemic Legion offers flexible rates and extremely lucrative deals on systems or whole constellations that would allow you to explore all the possibilities that owning Nullsec space can offer without any of the actual burdens.

Contact us ingame for rates and available systems!

You must be one of those people who spills coffee on someone and then blames the person for being there at the wrong time.

What content, other than PVe, can be added to nullsec that is not going to be looked at by nullsec residents who will say "hey, this isn't my killboard" ?

When that live event got fed to a nullsec bubble camp, what did they say in nullsec about that? They said "its just another Thursday".

No, it's a sandbox. Players did that, not CCP.

If that's what you want, go and create it. You have access to the same tools as everyone else, both in game and metagame. The only thing required is vision and effort.

That reasoning is fairly moot, a mayority of highseccers that go by their buisness wouldent leave it, ewen if you dragged them kicking and screaming to low and null, they die in a puff of butterflies the moment they crossed the gate to low, and there be rainbows... so nerfing high only makes people leave

I do agree though with a earlier persons comment about that, if small gangs actually could damage structures in any usefull way, it actually be a point to doing it, but honestly i dont have any good ideas how that could be implemented

So, null sec folk who keep complaining about how useless null is, want the likes of me to relocate there.

How does that work then?

Remove the over inflated player egos from null and I would probably spend more time there.

This is not a signature.

You don't understand. It isn't that our egos are inflated, so much as the vacuum of nullsec pulls on our egos to fill the void.

Exactly right. As long as alliance A needs to turn up at alliance B's strongest time and get squished, no one wants to be alliance A. When alliance B is Goons (37k members) and timers exist this farcical renting crap will continue, not only continue but expand.
