Also CCP is suffering from their own story telling, Caldari and the Amarr are suppose to represent right wing aspects our world and due to player preference the numbers of people participating in fw are very off balanced.

Pretty much entirely this. All the cool kids wanna fight slavery or fight for democracy, very few wanna be fascist capitalists or religious nuts. Theres probably also economic reasons as well, ppl have farmed up lots of LP and wanna cash in, I may be out of date but it used to be that controlling the FW systems raised your factions tier on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 offering great discounts on the LP you spend at the LP store, so powers that be have been saving up millions of LP and wanna cash it in at good rates. Please, Tibus was a tyrant as worse as they come, friend among friends a enemy of everyone else. Being faceless has what made the caldari so dangerous in the past mind you. All in the faith of the core of the immortal ideals to follow is far more productive than following the ideals of an insane man with no love for his nation. As for FW things, there are no restrictions on equipment,.
Never said there was any restrictions, but you'd have to blatantly ignore the fact that people would rather garter LP for the better pvp ships, also being known for weaker stronger ships effects which side players like to side on. And my faceless part was that without a face the caldari seemed less "evil" but with the face was given more ammunition for the idealists to rage against something.

I can't speak for the Cal/Gal WZ, however.
FW sovereignty is all about a mixture of morale, burnouts, and LP farmers. Minmatar faction ships always sell well, so the core players get a lot of help plexing. AmarrMil has always been the smallest militia, thus most of the players who join it are looking for PvP against the larger MinMil. Truth be told, most AmarrMil just have no desire for plexing.
Plexing is like hacking an objective for 10+ min except you might never have a redberry come by.
This what I was always also talking about how stronger racial ships gear people towards certain factions |
