> [@Malak\_Starfire](#): > > If you have a potential solution to the problem of stagnation in null, lack of competition, then by all means, explain away. Otherwise all you will be is just someone who is part of the problem. Large part of that stagnation is self-inflicted. CCP has been pushing elite pvp narrative and playstyle for decades by now. Is it so strange that big chunk of people are super risk averse? Imagine if their kb showed some red? The absolute horror!!! Especially if you know that you can just hide in NPC station then why take any fight that you are not absolutely sure of winning? Look at PL, that is the only way they have played eve since day one. Step on much smaller group and then proclaim how elite and awesome you are. Be busy with something else when a comparable opponent shows up. And they are hardly the only ones with that playstyle. If only playstyle that CCP rewards is shitting on the smaller entities then it’s not exactly surprising when those disappear from the game. Solution is for CCP to stop listening to people who very clearly want to boost their own playstyle to the detriment of the game. Then let the sandbox deal with it. Players have done far more to encourage new groups in 0.0 than CCP has. Look at drone lands. They exist and people there are getting better organised and with some luck will be a real block one day. That is possible because Imperium is protecting them while they grow. So that random shitlords can’t go there and glass it to feed their ego. They know that if they tried Imperium would show up and then it would be one of those unfun fights where the opponent shoots back and you have a realistic chance of losing. Asher is completely right, biggest issue with 0.0 is mentality that CCP and elite pvpers have fostered. If you are not allowed to lose then every fight is just a gank and people get tired of getting ganked so they either join big three, move to NPC stations, or just quit EVE. In the end elite pvpers will kill their own game style just like olmeca did. Because at some point only Imperium, FRT and Init will remain and they don’t have a slightest chance in hell against any of us. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/devblog-the-future-of-force-projection-feedback-thread/514961)._
