Every time I look up some neutral or fleet is in my space, and we aren't even that close to empire. It's damn annoying as I am usually trying to kill rats in anoms when people come calling.

If it's taking you so long to find a fight, you are simply in the wrong space, or your group has too many blues.


ikr, im still dying daily and finding carebears to hotdrop everyday, i dunno what the issue is here


A look at my alliance killboard will show the same for me, though most pvp I do is home defense. BTW i didn't want all those faction cruisers anyway, just for the record.

we dropped like 5 rattlesnakes and a carrier on test a little while back, they retaliated with a fleet of 80+ was good fun shredding a load of bombers with a rattler though :D

We turned a dead null system into the most violent in null, it's not eve it's the people.

Plus ccp is doing the opposite they are pushing for player made star gates and expanding the universe. I trust their assessment of Eve's health than yours. I love eve is dying threads, they complete contradict know facts.

No.

Others have stated. Is the players, not size of space that is issue.

To quote Lfod Shi

The ratting itself is PvE. Getting away with it is PvP.

If you are looking for fights and having a difficult time then you are doing something very wrong. Simply look at dotlan for the most violent systems and join in some faction warfare. If you want to do some serious ganking, then grab a catalyst and hit the nearest high-sec belt. If you want some small-gang pvp there are several null corps looking for good pilots.

One could argue that if there is "wrong space to be in", that same space might be superflous.

True. These dudes are in denial and so resistant to change, it hurts. It's like they live in a little EVE bubble. This happens in every long running MMO. People hate change it's human nature.
But yes, from a new player's perspective, an EVE equivalent to a server merge would be very good for the game IMO. Who want's to fly through empty system after empty system? Good luck trying to find a fight solo. On the weekend, sure, not quite as bad. But during the week, forget it. Cut the number of systems in half.

How about no More Adding space untill we got more people ,but I been waiting for Jove for ages 😩


Merging the Chinese server with the one we are on? It wouldn't shake things up; it'd shatter the entire foundations of Null-Sec as Alliances from our server and Alliances from the Chinese server tear each other's throats out to fight for Null-Sec Space and establish their alliances again.

I don't mind change. Heck, I even like the new icons.

I guess it's in my own personal nature to hate ignorant suggestions with no basis.

As proven by plenty of people with perfect suggestions on how one can easily find a fight, should one wish to do so.

And off I go to berate someone else. Good day.

Normally its people like you who fly through empty system after empty system in the hope of NOT finding anyone to fight in your pve ship.

Oh really. Just that simple, eh? Do you know why there is a separate Chinese server? Merging seems very unlikely.

Yes

They can use these jovian, drifter, circadian things to start rendering areas of space as insta death zones to discourage people from going there, effectively shrinking space and concentrating the population.
