Do carry on. What’s the point of this thread? Seems to me you just try to insult anyone that doesn’t agree with your view. Hardly a starting point for any kind of civil discussion. Not that the opening post has anything really to discuss. ---

This isn’t an echo chamber, you dismissing people as fanbois for disagreeing with you suggests that you have nothing and the whole thread is an exercise in embiggening your own ego. Go back to facebook. ---

> [@Merin\_Ryskin](#): > > The fact that CCP uses large nullsec fights as a major marketing tool, which you dismissed as “FANBOYS LOLOLOLOL”. Actually that came after (in sequence). And CCP’s marketing is like all marketing. It contains a grain of truth but it is hardly “central to the game.” ---

What’s your point? CCP’s marketing is not 100% honest (like everyone) but that doesn’t change the fact that CCP uses large nullsec fights as a major marketing point, giving them importance beyond their percentage of total EVE activity. ---
