So.... when / where / how / what colour etc etc.

Many people have bust their balls running pve content to grind towards this moment, maybe then a pair of sweaty balls on a little red cross plaque would be appropriate?

Perhaps FW is totally broken, the caldari have plexed themselves to hell and the medal is worthless?
FW is actually broken on a level similar to the beginning of inferno.
Worthless.

If CCP gives you a medal for THIS it will be really a shame.
FW system control is 98% a PVE mechanic. Carebear plexer wonderland.
Don´t really know why you are proud for it.

CCP saw fit to grant a medal to the Caldari when the war-zone was 'won' by after-DT plexers and the occasional standings-exploiter, there was hardly any fighting of any mention at all. THAT was the PVE medal, for the Caldari victory over the Federation NPC ships opposing them, along with that tiny group that tried anyhow and was woefully unable to stop the tide.

This medal is going out for years of FIGHTING between the PLAYERS for an achievement earned with what FW was supposed to be: Factional Warfare. As such, it is far more deserved than the Caldari medal could ever hope to be and is a PVP medal for all intents and purposes, regardless of any Caldari whining to the contrary.

*EDIT* Oh and btw CCP, if anyone of you are reading this, don't give my toon here a medal - I have not been able to be around with any consistency for the last half a year at least and was not part of... any of the major and minor efforts to have this done :´(

I can honestly say over the last month or so this has been the biggest grind not only I but most people I know have ever done in a game. Its easy to say its all pve, or ccps fault or w/e bull, but honestly its been a major effort, hours of grinding, counterplexing, welping, intercepting enemies trying to take our backwaters, huge logistical challenges and investments and a whole host more I couldnt do justice listing. The wts in eha, rakapas, oms and ladister all put up a bloody good fight and did not make it easy for us up until the final day, kudos to them and their grace in defeat (well, mostly). Troll all you want but this has been a hell of an ordeal, for both sides.

ps, what colour would a shame medal be? I mean I suggested the red cross as a nod to the pve grind that has taken place... Not sure you know me but boy do I hate pve. The golden light on the horizon for a large chunk of militia has been the aim of some sort of mark of acheivement we can carry with us for our eve careers. Id be happy for the mark to be a joke if thats what it should be.

I'd be even happier if it was scratch and sniff bacon smell, but I fear CCP has limits...

For what it's worth, last month was Justified Chaos' highest kill month so far. We certainly didn't get that from afk plexing or gate camping....

They should get a medal if they have everything after downtime.

It is only fair.

it resembles a small incursus orbiting a little beacon with the text "shut up and orbit"

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

Agreed, it's only fair that the Gallente get a medal when the Caldari got a medal for doing the exact same thing, even if the mechanics are different.

Saying this was particularly hard though is somewhat disingenuous. Sure the button orbiting must have been time consuming and annoying, and harassment by Caldari Militia was probably slightly difficult to handle in certain situations, you guys had a substantial numbers AND logistics advantage.

Still, taking the whole warzone is a very difficult thing to accomplish, I think everybody who is in CalMil at this point is going to stay in CalMil for the time being. Looking forward to more gf's as we try and take back our space
