The worst part is that CCP tried to justify all of it with quite possibly _the_ most egregious attempt to lie with statistics that I’ve ever seen from the company in this blog:

> **[War, War Sometimes Changes | EVE Online](https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/war-war-sometimes-changes)**
>
> Check out this dev blog for more information on the next stage in the overhaul of the war declaration system!

Like for example in this graph:

They literally went from a weekly sample of more than 1,000 wars to a sample of about 100 wars (because the changes eliminated war eligibility for over 90% of player groups overnight), but kept the same plot.

Had they kept the entire war sample consistent across the entire graph, it would’ve looked something like this:

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/7/9/e/79eab75b00b94e2a2c04de3c18a725f23520d488.png)  
(The replaced section would oscillate more, but the trend line/average would remain the same.)

Which is to say that across wars that were seeing activity/kills, there was no perceptible change to the amount of PvP activity, which is what they tried to pass off as something that _did_ happen. It’s just that with _their_ graph, it looks like there’s suddenly a higher volume of wars with actual daily kills, when in reality that’s not the case at all.

_ **Shameful.** _
