Hi there.
I'm glad you feel so incensed about not being able to hold a district by yourself (or, well, two of you) against the might of the universe.
Let's put this in economic terms. You set up a business in a niche market, say, Brazilian jewellery, in London. Let's say that you're the first business to do so, and at first, you're wildly successful. However, you insist that only you and a couple of close friends maintain the business, as to keep it small and keep everyone close. Would you then complain about any competition coming in and taking over the market for Brazilian jewellery, and then underpricing you out of the market? No, you wouldn't, simply because that's good business.
Same thing here. A two person corp just doesn't hold the financial firepower that a 16-person corp has, or even the manpower.
Also, you must not be very experienced in regards to FPS's, as most competitive FPS clans have upwards of ten people, at the very minimum. BF3 and MAG clans (at the risk of sounding like an idiot, having never played either) would have upwards of 50 and 100 players respectively, due to inactivity, differing timezones, etc.
As previously stated by CCP, highsec is meant more for casual gamers such as yourself, who don't want to get involved in running with a large corp, who don't want to have to constantly maintain a planet.
To be honest, I'm surprised that you're complaining about this without fully knowing the mechanics. Anyone with a university degree should be able to do even a little bit of research into what they're talking about instead of complaining without a clue of CCP's intentions, or the gaming world at large. |

Indeed, I was just pointing out the flaw in logic, common sense and business nous by your corpmate there. Thank you for completely missing the point.
If either of you had actually looked into the game at all, instead of just picking up and playing, you would have realised everything that's been said in this thread already.
As pointed out by your corpmate, the "man-child" mentality exists, but not only within the men on this forum. To be honest, the number of 12 year olds playing this game will be next to nothing, seeing as this game requires an attention span lasting longer than a couple of hours, as well as some decent mental capabilities and foresight, simply due to the SP system and metagame involved.
Any corp you happen to join will be mature, helpful and active. Any less and they're doomed to failure. |
