Come back to Black Rise and Placid? Even if Gallente can hit a higher tier, we cannot do missions in a SB. Instead you will chase MWD+Cloak Ishtars or T3's.

I feel your pain, friend. I remember making millions of Minmatar LP over a week, only losing one Purifier. Then I tried running Amarr missions with a Hound and lost 5 of them within 3 days.

I do wonder how different the warzone cycles would be if there was more mission parity, especially when missions become the only real way to keep a tier pushed when there are few enemy systems left.

this won't solve anything. Look, minmatar is in full farming mode. All you see are pve ships. It doesn't matter which side you join as long you stay in the amarr-minmatar WZ you have the same effect.

After a few days of exclusively killing SBs i decided to give eve a break and wait till people use pvp ships again. Will take at least one or two weeks and everything is fine again.

The market is broken already, some farmers have >100mil LP per char so i don't think they will continue like this for very long.

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

Just think how much more we'd be roflstomping Caldari if FW were easy for us.....
(wouldn't make a bit of difference)

Anyways, how badly does this affect all those high sec mission runners when Minmatar mission runners can pretty much out-compete against them for every single LP store item?

I meant more under the context of the amount of effort it takes to keep a Tier at 5 and farmable once you get there.

Though, some food for thought, is the real reason it wouldn't make a bit of difference because outside of Team Damar/FHP, its literally impossible to roflstomp Caldari anymore in your TZ because you've always dunked them that hard. (I don't actually care or want to talk about game mechanics. This is just a joke about how legitimately the majority of Caldari has been since Inferno. Though maybe its that time certain posters with names starting at the beginning of the alphabet start ranting about game mechanics and the thread gets locked. I mean, it's almost to page 3, amirite? :P)

This reads to me a lot like a ego rant/stroke/pet/fondle from the Minnies. People saying all amarr have left and you have no pvpers left to fight is a bit of a joke honestly. Sure we don't have the numbers we once had but that is inevitable considering the isk farm is weak for amarr. But those of us that remain, at least some of us, still go out and give fights. Ask biohazard about me putting an amarr fleet on sahtogas station few days ago and giving them what felt like an epic fight.

Hi

Let me let you in on the truth. We are super bored! I would love nothing better for the amarr to get their act together and get something going. The lp is great dont get me wrong but it isnt a long term thing. The reason the other systems haven't been taken yet and the reason for our horrible killboard this month is just due to "BEAR MODE" that we are currently just coming out of.

I led bio through the last 2 months on a goal to get some fights and ended up turning into us taking all but 6 of the systems. PVP has dried up and now we realize why iron oxide are so bitter with us now that all the targets are gone. woops mah bad.
In terms of the 100% it has been put to good use supplying the corp with a t2 SRP.

If BIO moved to the Caldari/Gallente warzone, I could see them demoralizing both sides so hard that even FW stalwarts like Damar's crew, qcats, and x gal's guys leave. Thoughts?

Not sure what you are doing wrong guys... I logged in yesterday after a forced break and voila got several PVP fights and kills within two hours or so. Maybe its your time zone or a wrong attitude, don't know.

There are still smaller fights but no organised gangs to fight which is what i enjoy. I wouldnt mind a trip upto gal/cal space to see what trouble we could get into. :3

Yes, this is true. These where small scale fights usually not more than a hand full of pilots against another hand of pilots. However, this is the style I really much prefer over the usual blob fests which usually end with an insta-death once you got primed.

If they can take down Fweddit, surely they can take down the combined forces of Caldari-Gallente FW.

I take it the wardec overrides so you don't get a standings hit when awoxing your militia? That's pretty attractive if so...

LOL! I don't think that would be possible, but I am all for it. The more douchey noobs to kill, the better :)

FYI, most gal corps worth a damn have the entire minnie militia KOS. Without specific blue standings, they would look like any other target to us. I am all for more targets, come on over Big smile

I don't know that that's true. We've been on a good fights vacation out in Cal/Gal the past week while we hope for things to stabilize in farmatar space and we've had no incidents with gal militia despite warping into each other in plexes.

So uh, if QCATS could maintain that and not be the first group to awox us that would be appreciated

The problem boils down to no one wants to get shot first. And since there are numerous awoxing minnie corps.... if you get blown up, blame those guys.

We generally will blue Minmatar militia corporations out of interest to maintain a united warfront, so please feel free to contact me in game to arrange standings.

However - we had so many awox us, we ended up shooting first.

Who are BIO? (Serious question, I'm wondering are these guys who know small gang pvp? or another nulli style "we can do fleets but have no idea about small gang pvp (Hint: If you think small gang pvp involves multiple logistics ships, it's not small gang")).
