Why don't you split off into two roughly even alliances and fight it out, RvB style?
Why is the competitive core of Dust content to simply rest on their collective laurels?
Where is the spirit of competition, the constant drive for improvement in the face of a truly dangerous foe?

I didn't mean RvB the show, which I've never seen, I meant the EVE alliances Red Federation and Blue Republic, who are locked in constant war for fun. Their battles account for around 10% of the total PVP activity in the entire game-world of EVE, concentrated to a mere 4 systems.

Eh. Not as funny as I hoped it would be.
Wouldn't it be more interesting if they fought each other instead of just standing there talking and looking down a rifle scope without shooting?

DNS is the product of many vets that were at war (and many still hate eachother) that didn't want to play anymore but still get passive isk for when this game gets better. So we put wars on hold so most of us can take a break from fighting wars for nearly a year straight. So, DNS dust side is essentially split into two factions (possibly more): Negative--Feedback ERA TRE TP OSG FA RND HLP Renegade Alliance AE NS DDB CAP DIE GAM http://evemaps.dotlan.net/alliance/Dirt_Nap_Squad./corporationsThese two factions despite what others may claim and all efforts to close the gap, are fractured down the middle and are waiting for the slightest indication either side to break off. Alot of bad blood and there is a HUGE portion of DNS that wants to see the two go head to head very soon, only none of them are in charge. note: there are corporations not in DNS that are a part of these factions as they provide ringers and support. i.e. OSG
Hmm, very interesting, thanks for the primer- I don't keep up with Dust politics, clearly.
I guess what it comes down to, then, is CCP. It shouldn't be possible for the competitive core to "take a break" while continuing to reap the benefits of district ownership.
