it's timers because they dictate a time and place for people to create the largest possible blobs of the largest possible stuff.

no, timers just allow the two fleets to be in the same place at the same time

Was it for a timer to end?.......P


They wanted a capital fight.

What we got was something nobody wanted or enjoyed.

Haha.. I'm debating the same idea, to reset, or not to reset as I'm suffering from the black screen of death. I think I'll just let it go after reading your comment.Blink

i can imagine how a person ignorant carebear who's never left concord's teet wouldn't realise this
but timers are the way to facilitate important fights in a single sharded game across multiple timezones

they allow fights to happen at all scales, instead of structure pingpong which'd be the shitfest happening if timers didn't exist

Because they are told to.
These poor people would rather be part of a huge clusterfuck, wasting their time, as opposed to actually DOING something in the game. Their emotional state cries out for acceptance in a large group, at the cost of anything else.

If their hive mind was not so dangerous for the rest of Eve's gameplay, I would pity them.

cute argument, except that it suggests that the only possible alternative to the current system is a "structure ping pong"

naive at best, dumb as crap at worst.

Sadly, the only thing these fights are good for these days are pretty screenshots. Roll

thank you for these invaluable insights into the mentality of the nullsec player who is deluded enough to enjoy large fights more than, say, full spectrum mission running

i am awaiting your no-doubt brilliant idea for creating opportunity and necessity for defending and attacking fleets to engage each other over structures without need for timers (which you have claimed to be the cause of enormous unmanageable fleets with no justification and contrary to people whose opinions actually count for something)

i do not expect much

I anyone "enjoyed" that fight , then they more than likely "enjoy" being beaten and whipped in some BDSM club.

Actually, it is more like low sec exploration and ratting (love those clone tags) / dodging gatecamps in low sec while moving stuff / mission running / incursions / wildly insane forum posting 23/7.
