Foxfour confirms Gallente and Winmatar better than Kalamari and Amarr.

Fox Four is a scrub and has nothing on Wolfman. Dirty Liberalist..... and to think I used to like Fox four.
They're devs. They're all terrible scrubs.
Foxfour does have control over FW so you should probably watch what you say.
Although it's not like foxfour can make the Amarr lose anymore than they already do.  |

I disagree.
I think these back stories are the reasons which cause players to choose their FW allegiance.
RP as you will -but people (not so hard for politicians) from 1st and 2nd world nations have a hard time supporting factions (even imaginary ones) which support slavery or fascism. Little as I actually invest (RP wise) into my character. I would never fight for Amarr or Caldari for those reasons alone.
You can blame matchmaking or farming or whatever you like. The fact is that Amarr and Caldari lost, and will continue to lose because those factions are unpopular -Not because the game treats them unfairly.
+1 The moment I heard "slaves" I was turned away from the Amarr. Though I cannot understand why since this is only a game.... Plus I find players who follow the word democracy or freedom boring and generally not worth engaging in RPing with.... the occasional few I do are very knowledgeable and tend to be more unique than the standard "American hero" archetype. I mean gods sake this is new eden, you could be anything, you could be a pirate, you could be a criminal, you could be a soldier pressed into service bitter against his own nation but still loyal to the cause..... there are so many things people can be in New Eden but they choose not to for no other reason than to follow the crowd. Yeah, it is just a game but I'm not heavily invested in RP and so any game character I create will ultimately reflect myself. Fair enough, though I started to wonder recently what it is about Dust and EVE that makes people create characters that reflect themselves or better versions of themselves.
It's not just dust and eve, that happens everywhere. And people do it because it's easy. You don't need to think about your race's background or some lore somebody else made up. You can just be yourself. It's pretty simple. |

How about I tell you about the Gallente Federation whose politicians have corrupted the government, able to stay in office as long as they please. The upper class with prestige standards of living while everyone else lives in slums? A economical system where it is made extremely easy for those with high standing to push others off the success ladder as soon as they begin making progress? A drug culture where a substantial majority of civilians are taking life-damaging drugs harming countless innocent lives, and a government who refuses to intervene because the illegal drug trade is the only thing keeping the Gallente economy from crashing? Heck, the whole situation with the Caldari is primarily because of what the Caldari bring to the Federation economy. Even though the Caldari wish to leave the Federation in peace, the Gallente won't allow it because they need them. Yeah, that Gallente Federation? Have fun fighting for corrupt megalomaniacs and drug lords!
Better than being a slaver.  |

Except, again, when you assume you understand some race and that it reflects who you are, but missed some pretty big aspects of that race that aren't so great. Go back a couple posts to see the lovely details Gallente players seem to overlook. I could make similarly bad accusations about the Minmatar Republic.
I didn't assume anything. None of these races are great enough to reflect me. They all have flaws unlike me. But the minmatar are the closest to reflecting me.
And please, stop judging other people for overlooking their race's flaws. Especially when you devote so much effort on overlooking the Amarr's flaws. You want everyone to acknowledge their own faults but ignore yours. |
