So We are finally there. It has taken years but we have now reached the point of perfect assured destruction
NC/PL now have so many supers and TITAN they can drop them risk free.
The only powers able to match them are Goons and the Russian Block maybe.
3 Super Powers stuck in a endless arms race for more and more supercapitals.

B-R showed them the possible loss a super capital brawl would inflict.
Now no super power will risk a fight where another super power could take the upper hand. It has become a cold war with proxy wars in lowsec. Empires like these can not be conquered they can only fall from within. Also A guy in PL told me their FC's all think NC are their cast off's who are not good enough for PL. And they smell.

Stagnation leads to degeneration. Degeneration leads to weakness. Give them some time and they will fall like Goons. Like old Band of Brothers. Like many others.

That didn't work out quite as well as we had hoped.

Sure it did.

No one if afraid of them anymore. They aren't an invincible coalition that won the game.

So their continued existence isn't a problem. It wasn't a goal to cause goons to collapse. That was more aimed at SMA.

Corporations and alliances are in a never ending cycle of growing, becoming good, bloating, becoming ****, breaking up and restarting. Lots of people want to join the corp that's already king of the hill only to find that as there's nothing really to fight it gets quite boring resulting in infighting, drama and rage quits.

On top of that the people who want to join a corp at its height of power generally aren't really that useful, not saying they're bad necessarily but they have the wrong attitude. This is the bloating phase and if you want to predict the future you only have to look in the past. As Ralph says, all empires crumble to nothingness at some point.

You're either extremely foolish or trolling to say that no-one is afraid of Goonswarm.

Why would you fear something in a computer game. One might respect Goonswarm but to fear them (or any other corporation for that matter) seems detrimental for ones EVE experience.

Empires will rise and fall given time, so the game will continue to develop as new entities will rise and challenge the old gaurd.

I expect to get this post deleted or locked. So much for freedom of expression.

In my experience, Bloc's don't fall in EVE. They just go through reformations.

If there is one constant in RL as well as in game, it is that all empires will fall eventually.

Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format. Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......

This has been the case for like what, a year or more? Nothing new. All great empires fall at some point. BoB was deemed unbeatable and fell. We were deemed unbeatable and... granted it took literally everyone else combined to make a small dent. PL and NC are far from unbeatable since their fair share of losses in the current northern war. And it will be especially interesting to see what happens in the long run now that all the casino money is gone.

For the most part this has always been true for the big empires in EVE, I remember posts along these lines 10 years ago Big smile.

If you think this is new, you obviously missed the previous cold war prior to World War Bee.

Neither, but if we are going to switch this to be aimed at the poster rather than the post, you must be extremely stupid if you can't see how attitudes towards the imperium have changed since WWB.
