is it me or is faction warfare one sided
i mean i run all the factions and the two i see winning all the time is gallente and minmatar leaving those who want to play for another faction are left with nothing i believe if people for opposite factions could have a fixed win every now and then it would attract more players and possibly reduce the wait time to get into a match idk im just tired of faction warfare being one sided
We are the State, and we have claimed our long-lost homeland. Now we are at war fend off the encroaching Gallente menace

Has the fix done anything to mitigate the problems? I would imagine that caldari and amarr would be fighting near empty battles while the opposing forces would be stretched in numbers.

That is not a good idea.
Firstly I would not ever support a system whereby I artificially win, that would destroy the competitive nature of FW for me a loyal supporter of the Empire, and the greater game mode as a whole.
What I suppose you dont understand, and I mean no disrespect nor intend to sound condescending, is that the system is flawed somewhat.
Prior of the 13/03/14 we had a system that would generate X number of contracts per side per hour, these contracts are, or were to the best of our knowledge generated at the same rates for each faction, which means when one faction took dominance over the FW space through winning battles the system would ensure they stayed in complete control.
This meant that even if the Amarr only held 7 districts of the entire FW system 7 Minmatar attacking contracts of a potential 8 (for arguments sake) would be leveled across all of our controlled districts, whereas ours (the losing faction groundside) would hve to spread 8 contracts out across 100's of districts.
This would mean we would inevitably be losing battles all the time, even if just 1 or 2 offsetting any victories. This also meant next contract generation cycle we would have those districts we just conquered targeted instantly because those districts are all we have.
So longtime FWer would see cycles of battles on the same districts planets over and over again until we lost....
Now however a system has been put into place to allow the losing faction to generate more offensive contracts while the enemy generates less contracts.
This is a start, depending on testing over the next few weeks I hope the FW community will come to a concensus on how to proceed from there.
Additionally the popularity of certain factions is important. A larger number of organised FW corps support the Gal or Min at this time...as such we tend to see more FW corpless blueberries shuffled into Cal and Amarr games.
Its not all bad though...

When we have numbers we still run caldari contracts. I don't recommend going in with less than 8 on comms though.
The new FW contact mechanic seems to be having an effect. Warzone control is no longer a flatline of 100% / 0%, so that makes things more interesting.
Once you are on the ground though a fight is a fight, bring it or **** off.

I haven't lost and FW match in 3 weeks. I fight Amarr all the time and we are going to bring the Light of God to the Minmatar so they too can be chosen children of God.
Not to mention even if the ground war isn't going our way the Space war is and its going very well.

Caldari isn't faring so well though. We haven't lost territory for some time, yet now we've just lost a district.
It's always stacked squads on Gallente factions. |

The battles are still full, it just moves where they are being fought. I thought the patch was just to give gal and min pilots a chance to drop obs with out going into enemy space but Cal and amarr are definitely getting more districts. But that could be from people wanting new things from 1.8 and switching sides. It does seem like more pro sqds that arent synced fighting for cal/amarr recently.

i would say 60% of ppl just fight for the lp to buy whatever mods they need.
30% play min/gal for easy mode, and am/cal if you are organized and want a challenge.
the rest just have all factions lit up and just wana get into a battle fast, or dont really understand fw at all.
i dont really get the impression ppl are playing this game mode to try to have an impact on the greater universe.
