I think you’re confusing adaptation with giving up effortlessly.
This is the point where that became an issue to you? This has been the case for a decade. If anything, Hilmar and CCP are playing the game more now than they’ve been doing for some time. Of course, you’re probably more likely whining impotently about having to interact with other people who are playing the game in their way.
This is largely correct and an inevitability, unless they base out of NPC null which is also an option. Are you expecting small groups to be able to rival or match the large ones in terms of dictating what space who gets to use, or that small groups get to exploit space as well as the large groups who have actual resources to do so? That’s just ridiculous. If you want to play a smaller more nimble group, that’s what you get to play and you have to limit yourself accordingly. How is this a problem to you only now that Blackout is in effect? It’s been true since before the days of Bob.
Pick a league and play in it. Don’t join Little League and expect Nike to come shove millions up your arse.
It’s adorable that you accuse me of not understanding simple English. My suggestion is playing according to your chosen place in the hierarchies of Eve. If you want to be in a small null group, you have to play accordingly. This isn’t rocket surgery, you unfathomable moron. This has always been true in Eve: You fly what you can protect or afford to lose. If you want to be a small-group player, you might want to stick to mining with disposable ships. If you want to mine with multi-billion isk ships using multi-billion isk Excavators for it, you damn well better be able to protect it. It’s really that simple.
Yes, mining in Rorquals should require being able to have several dozen defenders appear to bail you out when your chumming of the waters inevitably attract sharks. This doesn’t require a super umbrella, by the way. Most hunters use subcaps and can be defended against accordingly. You just need the numbers and the organization, which is exactly as it should be.
Would you expect PvPers being able to just solo roam in Nyxes and Ragnaroks? Of course not, it’s absolutely ridiculous. You’re expecting to be able to do the same thing on the bearing side of thing, which is downright stupid.
Survival of the fittest. If these ‘smaller groups’ are withering away because they can’t bear uncontested anymore, then they had no worth to begin with. I’ll instead sit back and cheer on the groups I know were successful before Blackout and still utilize nullsec just fine during Blackout. They just do it commensurate with their numbers and capabilities, not pretending they should get to capital flex uncontested.
Yeah, run away, little boy. It’s just about what you’ve demonstrated can be expected of you when things aren’t going your way.
