So tell me good sir, what incentives are there for the goons to suddenly want to invade a separate region entirely?

the same one there always has been, the unadulterated joy of taking something from someone, lighting it on fire, and peeing on the ashes

it's just that with the sov system the way it is victory hurts almost as much as defeat, the defender may lose their space but they're not the ones stuck grinding hundreds of millions of ehp

part of the problem with highsec shitlords trying to understand 0.0 is their wretched poverty permeates their thinking and they can't really break out of their blinkered mindset

wealth is merely a means to an end in eve: we get rich so that we can conquer. wealth we pile up in our wallet corp doesn't actually do anything of note: it's there so that when dbrb does things like welp half a trillion worth of caps we can rebuild them and keep on trucking

highsec shitlords on the other hand are wretchedly poor and lack the sort of will to power that gives wealth a goal, and so they just sort of accumulate wealth for the sake of getting a new thing that accumulates more wealth; missioning so they can afford a better missioning boat to mission with

wealth is a tool, to be used support the exercise of power in the only way it really means anything: taking things away from other people. highseccers, as the most powerless wretches in the game, don't really understand power and how delightful and end in itself it is, and so can't really understand 0.0
