Not sure what you consider “the right thing”. I returned to the game about 7-8 months ago, scrapped my indie, miner and mostly my hauler accts for skill injectors, pumped them into my null / low pilot which is still continuously training + my PVE pilot which is likewise.
My intent was to just keep my hauler at halfway, just enough to move my own crap around, then concentrate on the null stuff, and pve in HS while waiting for fleets or something cool to do in null.
That however has been shelved. I have been monitoring the recruitment channels, threads, visited various corp / allaince websites etc. for about 2 months now and frankly speaking, there is nothing but crap out there for me to join or the reqs are just still too high.
Been aproached by GSF recruiters 3 times now, but I don’t want to become a part of blue donut 2.0 or a goonpet 2.0, so thats kinda out (nothing personal to GSF, but I just dont want to contribute to those issues). Rest is either too disorganized, too small to have a chance to put up a decent fight etc.
On top of that, see the latest CO2 and what happened there. Is anyone here actually naive enough to think that all those players after all that went down stayed in the game and not left ?
Many of us, as part of playerbase are looking for battles, wars, etc. not the elimination thereof. Its why we are here, but tehre are non to be head, so we PVE and this is where this topic comes in.
PvE content is what keeps many people in game in situations as these, just kickback and chill. O and if you want to truly get more players out in Null Sec, then stop obstructing and eliminating content, make wars, not prevent them and people will come by themselves, don’t need to “push” anyone to go out there.
For the time being, I restate what I have stated already, good and accessible PvE content is good for the game and keeps players around instead of leaving. Lack of accessibility limits that retention. Eliminating this content will not magically funnel us back into null. Lack of new null players is no one elses fault except the alliances that are already there and their own stagnation.
