Quote:Also re comments about not being able to fight back, that will happen when those sides start winning more than 50% of their battles.
This will probably never happen as long as the default setting in the battle finder is for all 4 factions to be selected. Most of the vets have picked minmatar / gallente and are queued up just waiting for some noob to press x on faction warfare, which inevitably throws them into the faction that has 0% control. You would be shocked at how many people I've heard say that they didn't know they could pick the faction they fight for.
If the noobs still so green that they smell like grass have to actively choose a faction to fight for then we *might* start taking some ground back. Something is very clearly wrong, look at how long two factions have controlled 100% of the warzone. Look at how, when the FW event was giving us items people wanted, the warzone immediately flipped 100% the other way for the duration of the event. This happening in eve is so rare that you guys give players a medal when they make it happen, because even with a population imbalance and a faction getting stacked, the other side can still hold on to something.
The Dust modifier to FW systems in Eve is cool, but right now it isn't interesting to the eve players because it cannot and will not ever change long enough to matter. |

Seriously, go jump into a Minmatar or Gallente match and see just how easy it is. There are a lot of people playing FW who just are not ready for it and should not be there, and they're all being grouped up in Amarr / Caldari contracts. It simply isn't possible to win more than 50% of the time on the grand scale when half of your faction are guys picking up the game for the first time and don't even know how to squad up.
Seriously, I've done OB support for a match full of these guys and I sat there for 10 minutes with a strike ready. Nobody called it in, if anyone was in the match who had been playing for a week they would have used it. |

Eha is the biggest crucible in the Caldari war zone. Gal mil have been using it as their staging point, and TEST / some of cal mil are based out of Innia which is the next system over. We're plexing Eha up from 10% to 50% daily and they're deplexing it right back down. The number of ships being destroyed there daily is kind of impressive heh. |
