 It now fixes the balance between attacks launched in FW. That means that all the Caldari supporters won't have to play defensive battles which win no districts. That way FW will stabilize in the middle.

 Every Caldari try hard who has 600+ shields will pay and I will get my full revenge on the corp officer that kicked me ----> Bane 843
 
 Gallente and Minmatar players, show no mercy, use whatever you can. I will deal with Amarr later.

Notice how the 100% strange hold finally ended? Factions are now able to capture a district and not expected to defend that single district match after match after match after match until the inevitably lose it again. Amarr and Caldari are slowly working their way back up.

 Also find it funny that you list Amarr and Caldari as the tryhards who only care about score, because if they was they case they would play for Gallente and Minmatar easy mode. And 600+ shield? Please, just look at how much armor nearly everyone on your team is running with.

 Add to that the busted AR and the scanner nerf and we may see more parity in G/C warfare as players seek out Caldari RRs and magsecs. On the other hand, CR and anti slavery sentiment are strongly in the Minmatar's favor. Unfortunately, 3 second uplinks may turn many an abolitionist against his former duct tape clad brother.
 
 Expect Amarr FW to be the new EZ mode for PC-oriented corps. Non-PC corps may want to go color in the corner that will be G/C FW.

 Indeed the Minmatar and Gallente have no dedicated players.....which to me is rather sad, no players willing to commit the fullest of their time and efforts to their own faction.
 
 I would consider only a few people worthy of the term Loyalist on the Minmatar and Gallente side.
 
 Everyone else are fair weather mercenaries.
 
 Either way the Amarr will bring Light and justice to the peoples of New Eden. They will bring about and age of peace and understand amongst all such peoples. And during that time our Empress will reign supreme. And when those who have accepted God are ready they too will be made free citizens of the Amarr Empire.

 If the RR didn't get people into Caldari I don't see what will. Also, "historically" is a term you are using rather loosely.

 Yeah, so Aero totally pointed out the flaw in the way defense/attack was being set up back when the Amarr held 100%.
 
 Just wanted to mention that so we are clear on who is thinking about fair mechanics even when it favors them.

 2. When were the Amarr crying about q-syncers? We simply don't like the newberries that get placed on our team because more people are queuing up for the other side, but we deal with it. Also during that event it was debatable at first because the explanations for the 99% ownership largely implied that the mechanics don't allow for a faction to feasibly exit the stranglehold, so seeing everything start flipping was unusual. However, towards the midle/end of the event and of course well after most people accepted that the large ownership was because of the same issue. Luckily that issue has been resolved since last Tuesday and we're finally starting to see real fluctuation in the star map.

 I'm not implying anything, I'm directly pointing out that you are making a broad and incorrect generalization about how the Amarr handle being on the winning side.

Looking at the FW district ownership numbers, you guys must not have enough... Well to be fair the Minmatar still have a larger population of players who support them, so when people start queuing up all those newberries who have all four factions checked will get thrown on the Amarr side more often then not in order to get matches started. Though not taking anything away from the Minmatar, you guys are certainly winning more matches (even if I'm personally on something like a 30-2 streak [
  ) 
 Regarding the star map, keep in mind this is all less than one week of CCP fixing how attack and defense contracts should spawn, with the Minmatar starting out with 0 districts. I'm not expecting the Amarr to take over 50% of the districts with the larger collection of battles are playing out, but I certainly expect it to slowly climb for a while, with the rate of climb gradually slowing and slowing until it stabilizes.

 Looking at system ownership I would say it doesn't really matter.
 
 The only by products of winning Dust side FW are system bonuses for EVE pilots......and Amarrian pilots have been beating Min pilots for months now even negatively affected.
 
 Since the recent alteration to the FW system that prevents the winning team exploiting a broken system has only seen Amarrian influence spread as those who have been loyal only rewarded for staying with their faction.
 
 And through all this time certain players form certain corporations have remained loyal to ONE specific faction and those associated ideals. We are the loyalists.
 
 Those others are mere mercenaries.

I'm not implying anything, I'm directly pointing out that you are making a broad and incorrect generalization about how the Amarr handle being on the winning side.  All John's trying to say is let's not point fingers here! We all want a competitive game and when trying to provide feedback it is best to leave the smack talk on the battlefield. 
 Lol. That's a slightly more diplomatic way of putting it than I probably would at the moment, but accurate.
 
 Another example, go ahead and q-sync all you want, it's not the act of doing it we b!tch about, it's the fact that we can't compete with several q-synced squads across several matches with our legions of random blueberries who don't even know which faction they picked.
 
 It's a pain in the ass and I feel rightly annoyed when my alt that I used to grief in FW for a single weekend managed to get to level 3 in minmatar standings despite actively trying to lose. (As opposed to my main who took like 2 months to get there by fighting tooth and nail every time). It's made 1000% worse by the fact that I then have to defend that district for the next 4 battles straight.

On the other hand, CR and anti slavery sentiment are strongly in the Minmatar's favor. Unfortunately, 3 second uplinks may turn many an abolitionist against his former duct tape clad brother. Expect Amarr FW to be the new EZ mode for PC-oriented corps. Non-PC corps may want to go color in the corner that will be G/C FW. Historically inferior? Have you Dust bunnies bothered to look up? Who do you think owns those skies? I'll give you a hint. We like Gold. Comment was made regarding Dust only... But since you brought it up, what IS the conversion rate for gold-to-wins? Looking at the FW district ownership numbers, you guys must not have enough... Well to be fair the Minmatar still have a larger population of players who support them, so when people start queuing up all those newberries who have all four factions checked will get thrown on the Amarr side more often then not in order to get matches started. Though not taking anything away from the Minmatar, you guys are certainly winning more matches (even if I'm personally on something like a 30-2 streak [  ) Regarding the star map, keep in mind this is all less than one week of CCP fixing how attack and defense contracts should spawn, with the Minmatar starting out with 0 districts. I'm not expecting the Amarr to take over 50% of the districts with the larger collection of battles are playing out, but I certainly expect it to slowly climb for a while, with the rate of climb gradually slowing and slowing until it stabilizes.  Agree with everything you have said and look forward to 1.8...just trolling TA a bit before bed. :3

 Aero will attest to our victory over a squad of Carbon 7 and Contract Hunters in FW (both comprising 11 members of their team) while us comprising 5 of ours.
 
 It was a fantastic fight. Best I have had out of the Minmatar lately.

 Guns is probably not the right person to use as your representative sample.
 
 
 (Oh, and True, I meant can't compete in a global sense. Our loyalist squads can go toe to toe with anyone, naturally, but the unwashed masses that fill the rest of our battles simply cannot. )

 Don't forget WTF, Prima Gallicus, Ultramarines, and so on. We have beaten several q-synced Minmatar teams before with our own q-synced teams.
 
 But yes that recent match with 11 people from two corps on the enemy team and when I look at our team it says "Squad 0: 5/6, No Squad: 11" was a very satisfying victory, all the way to the last tick.

 The whole "easy mode" remark is absolutely nothing that can be blamed on anyone. Well, you could probably blame CCP if you want. Basically it's as stated, since most people specifically pick to fight for the Minmatar (or Gallente), all the newer player who have all four factions selected will more often then not go to the Amarr (and Caldari) sides in order to get matches started. This is primarily a user interface issue that is having a big impact on the gameplay. This could easily be solved in many ways, like making it more obvious how to choose what faction you fight for and/or making the default settings "No faction selected" and requiring you to manually select at least one faction if you want to play Faction Warfare.

 Also @Atiim Sgt Kirk being Arkenai it is quite sad that Gallente have only 2 loyal players and everyone else is there to get free LP.
