After obtaining all Republic battlesuits, I have to restock my wallet, and after that It will be both Cal (mosochism) and Min again.
My only allegience will be to the republic.
I might be found in battles for the amarr, but only to make sure they loose said battle. Matari infiltrator for the win!
Gallente are usually not my cup of tea, damn hypocrites...

back in the day when I used to squad with cubs, we could play amarr fw for hours and never lose a single battle. just 1 squad. no q syncs..... even against 2 q synced teams.
those q sync teams are not as good as they think they are facing a bunch of randoms and like that minmatar said in this thread earlier... they fall apart when facing real competition.

Indeed. I remember even before Cubs declared to the Amarr rolling out in a single squad with Maikyl, Evicer, Aero, Aisha, and T12 and just mauling synced teams with multiple squads.
Until that point when we were forming the Amarr Militia the Minmatar had never fought a dedicated and organised opposition from corporations they'd never heard of.
Within in month of the "Golden Age" everyone who synced against us knew they were in for a fight against Evicer (TP at the time) and PIE Inc. Hillarious watching teams leave the match when ours or Cubs name showed up on the Amarr rosters.

I would disagree.
It was amazing back in the day. Players fought to competitive levels because they wanted to win for their faction, heck there were corps back then who would stake their reputation on their fights, PIE amongst them, and to use it didn't matter if we went up against 16 RestlessSpirits or whatever because we knew we could give them a hell of a fight.
Everyone was organised, everyone fought well, everyone cared about their faction.
LP rolls in and now everyone only cares about what gear or BPO they need at the time. It's sad and pathetic.

Sadly we couldn't be more active in fw as we'd like. I had many days where I just logged in and within 5 minutes I was already scheduled to fight a pc. There was always either a war or just everyone on the damn game hiring the best ringers they can find. We had to make that isk!

All good.
Just like we aren't all that active any more.... it's a shame but I do more for the Amarr Empire plexing one small in Arnstur in 10 mins than I do in Dust in a week and if I'm lucky cost some ass hole 15- 30 Million ISK in a good fight.

I have only very rarely had a decent fight against a Caldari team. It may have been GFs everywhere in Min/Amarr at one point, but there's never been a period in the Gal/Cal warzone which I felt offered serious competition.
The Federation is not a defined region of space, of planets, of mountains, rivers, or woods. It is a vision.

I was in it for the suit. FW costs too much Isk and I got tired of always trying to win every match. Being a tryhard isn't fun.
I want to punch.

I only managed to secure victory in about 2 out of 10 + Battles today. It would seem that Amarr FW is the new bandwagon everyone is jumping on.
My point of contention is that many players that I have seen fighting for the Minmatar this past week or so are now fighting for the Amarr.

HEHEHE. THey want EZ mode indeed. Weaklings..
After watching the Flaming Gold Army Crush their Rusty dreams they, as the cowards they are, came to the side that has the most chance to win...

It's not called the Pendulum War for nothing y'know. Well that would make the Amarr Militia like the Matari Militia as well. When they had 100% I remember them beating their chest and talking about how they were better than everyone, but once they lost that 100% oh man did them tears start rolling in. But I will give them both credit, they've actually accepted that FW is supposed to be difficult and unlike the Caldari Militia aren't asking for match-making due to the lack of their abilities. Except the amarr militia didn't drop out and all go pirate. Never before have I seen a group in a videogame as pathetic as the minmatar militia in EVE.
I'd never call their EVE side militia pathetic...... I'm a **** poor line pilot at best. But I am disappointed they didn't go down kicking and screaming. Hell they won out in Huola earlier this year, we all had good fights and escalated from Dessies and Frigs up to Cruisers......
The worst bit it a lot of them are still around in FW space without the Militia tag..... it's like they took no pride in being in their militia and thought they could simply avoid a stigma by loosing the tag for a few months.
I'll remember that LNA, Periphery, and Iron Oxide gave up though.... it's kind of sad because taking Huola meant nothing without them fighting for it and I know those corps and alliances are all fighters through and through.

AND ITS NOT.

You can only play FW for those 2 from now on.

That's not a good suggestion.
Honestly FW should just mirror the mechanics in EVE that have made it good.
As long as you are well regarded by the faction you can sign up to their militia. In this state you can fight for that faction and its allies but can only flip districts, enact system wide changes for your own faction. LP can be used for many thing.
- LP store rewards for sale - Securing and establishing higher Tier status in FW districts and throughout the whole FW zone as a whole that benefits the entire militia - LP store rewards for use
Thing about FW is and people have to realise it. We not state militaries were just people employed by the Empires to fight on their behalf in procy conflicts that generate economic growth and extend the sovereignty of the Empire without directly staking their public image on the line.
As much as I want to pretend I'm an Amarrian Templar I am not. I'm just a soldier (classiarii) given whatever role and authority I have by a capsuleer organisation not directly affiliated with the Amarr Empire.
Many EVE players are loyalists like PIE and consider themselves paramilitaries, others consider themselves privateers and act and Empire sanctioned pirates, others are simply pirates or merc groups who only serve as long as there is financial gain in it for them.
This should remain. The more time I spend in FW EVE side the more I see FW is not actually about the Empires, either its about the ISK or its about loyalty and loyalty is not denoted by your ethnicity in EVE.
