Wormholes

Answer my concern?

No, it would not. To me it is irrelevant who blobbed first, or who is doing the blobbing now. I'm not placing blame for the phenomena with any specific entity or collection of such. Heck, you can blame me, outnumbering or at least outpowering the opponent was par for the course (=not always, but normal) since the start, and always will be.

The issue is that w-space mechanics no longer act as a deterrent to large scale actions, by w-space standards. This was always inevitable as more and more people become accustomed to and willing to put forth the effort involved in moving larger groups around, as corps and then alliances became organized enough to include more and more people in ops with regularity.

The one and only thing which could reverse the course, would be a change in the environment, as in the game mechanics that make up w-space.

As that is extremely unlikely with *small gang not being a focus of CCP's, then I shall continue to lament the ever larger scale of conflict in w-space, and I shall certainly correct anyone who tries to deny the blob, even if they're a generally well meaning amicable fellow, like Zyb.



*(small is less then 10 in my book, small means every single ship matters, every single ship can affect the outcome, which isn't true in 50 man gangs, probably not in 20 man gangs even)

Yes, but it's the mere existence of large entities that Qui is talking about -- and "everyone and their mother" flying T3s was not the norm as little as 18months ago.

A year ago BUGRY could field a small gang of battlecruisers (perhaps the odd command ship T2 cruiser) and expect to get results - it's now quite often T3 or GTFO.

Make of that what you will, but the power projection of large WH groups only gets stronger month by month, and battlereports regularly show 30-50billion killed.

Every time I see this picture it makes me laugh at how accurate it is...
