CCP has sold itself to Sony (3 years ago ish) so Sony calls the shots, and will no doubt be banging some heads about CCP dropping 19% profits in the last year. PvP has died in this game, nobody wants to fight 50 man gate camps in empire so the mercs who do the gate camping tab out to other games and claim that they are doing their jobs. ---

if you need mercs look here: [Public Mercenary Channel - Mercenary Services](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/public-mercenary-channel-mercenary-services/70447) if you are not happy about the current state, I recommend start doing it yourself. if this is to become another: “meh meh ccp sucks post” then please refer to the respective subforum, it’s called: “Dust bin” ---
