I warned you guys ~half year ago about the conseuqences of Equinox > [@Equinox will finally kill small groups](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/equinox-will-finally-kill-small-groups/448683): > > I watched devstream today. And what to say… Powerblocks will get even more power and small/midsize groups become a poor squotters begging for food and shelter. While we already have space cut in half between PanFam and Imperium. This new thing will enforce a major claim restructuring. If any current small groups claim over valueable space - they will be pushed out for PB’s good. Metenox is absolute economic weapon for PB dominance. They put it on EVERY moon and just defend them if necessary. … But you didn’t listen. Now poweblocks doing exactly what i predicted - taking over moons and space with metenox, cut everyone else out of income and resources. Small groups cant resist and cant do anything to prevent it just because lack of power and no free space to go. Leading to their disbanding. I’m 100% sure people confirm that thier small group is struggle right now or already kicked of from their place or even disbanded just because some BIG BOI neighbor comes for their moons. Do you remember what happened with Serenity? You have about few years till it here on Tranq. ---

Simply put. The big blocks need to die out. They are effectively controlling CCP and the decisions made. Sure CCP “makes the rules” but if it’s going to effect the big blocks in a negative way that means it’s going to hurt CCP wallet in the long run. That many active omega accounts means they tend to get what they want. Sure it’s not fair to the rest of the player base but at the end of the day, what keeps the lights on and the server running? That’s right the hamsters running in those wheels in the basement. Now get back to work and stop complaining. ---

I dont have any reason to play if i cant get what i want because poweblocks already take that. That’s exactly what happened on Serenity and it happening right now on Tranq. People just loose the matter of playing it because there is nothing more to achive and compete. ---

Well ‘you’ are in State War Academy and always have been so are not posting on any ‘small group’ corp that’s actually affected by any of what you claim.

Sorry, I tend to ignore posts in languages I don’t speak. You did mention one name but I had never heard of it and cannot check if it was indeed Equinox that killed it, or that it was just the regular cycle of life and death that happened to coincide with Equinox. ---

> [@Analoreke\_Brunette](#): > > If they’re not strong enough to withstand the onslaught they should by all means disband or band together with other groups. Previously unwanted (because you cant just mine everything manually) space where small groups could potentially have their homes now wanted by blocks cuz it’s easy passive income from metenoxes. Obviously none of small group or newcomers can stand against it. ---

Good luck with that. A lot of overinflated egos and blind pride in those small groups. They refuse to join each other because they wanna do it themselves (understandably). They all offer to let the other join but say no you should join us instead of us joining you. Its this dead end back and forth. ---

I sometimes come back to commemorate the death of my corporation at the hands of that “and thou shalt mine moons by hand” update. When was that, ten years ago by now? Anyway, the sole advice I can give you is to simply quit. I’ve won Eve for about ten years now and I never looked back. Okay okay, I admit I have logged in this year, and confirmed that I ran out of PLEX. I have ceased my annual attempts at getting back into the game. I’m a millennial and I’m done with shifting goal posts, societal or otherwise. I now play spaceship games with game boards, miniatures and dice, in real life. I recommend giving that a try.
