the blackout is not forcing us to do anything. It is just creating unnecessary drama

Thanks for the feedback, Xuxe. Iâm certain you did not intend to, but you have proven the point I was trying to make fantastically (much better and more efficiently than my original post did). Someone disagreed with you, and your nearly instant response was animosity, ridicule, and misquoting.
One last point before I move on with my own life is that I truly hope that posting in the forums is not âscreaming impotently into the voidâ as you put it. Players only have a few methods of providing feedback and the forums is the easiest method of providing it to CCP.
Fly safe! o7

We have all better things to be doing than dealing with drama created by CCP and whoever had this âgeniusâ idea. We have enough drama on our own without the worst idea in the history of EVE
for the wine and cheese, please do send it over. Love Bordeaux red

its not about reading its about seeing what your posting an taking it from there; i thought id try one more time to explain a tactical, strategic game to you; but apparently youâŚ
A. dont have any real issue other than a little drama
AND
B.
understand several concepts of strategic and tactical gameplay.
AND IN SO CLOSING
it is safe to assume you do not want fair game play
or equal game play
challenging gameplayâŚ
or so much more what you wantâŚ
what you really really want
is a game on cheat mode where you can easily make lots of money and pretend your good
with no actual effort
Tell me; in all your years of playing chess - did that ever make a good game?
So basically it is you, YOU⌠creating drama for no good reason.
isnt logic great

Blackout has nothing to do with fairplay or equal game play or challenging gameplay You want all those 3 items? Have CCP ban all 2nd accounts and all altsâŚ
If you think no one is putting any effort in living in sov null or npc null for that matter, you have no idea.
And as I said, dont go there on chess, you stand no chance vs me

Ah, except what you think is your highly insightful âpointâ is just the same rubbish spewed by so many before you.
Oh, thatâs what you were saying with the spin cleaned off.
hehâŚarenât you adorable. Thought you said youâve been around EvE a while?
We really donât.
If itâs Ore? Ore anomalies infinitely respawn in all of our systems.
If itâs Isk? Same thing with combat anomalies.
If itâs Ice? We all have several systems with plenty of Ice in them.
If itâs PI? Again, plenty of planets, more than enough PI.
If itâs Salvage? All rats give basic salvage, and the specific racial types we just import from Jita.
If itâs T2 modules? Sure, maybe one or two moon goo isnât available, but everything else is.
There really isnât any reason in-game for why people in null fight.
This is the reason why almost every fight for the last 2 years have been mostly just deployments for âcontentâ. Itâs because everyone is bored and desperately trying to come up with a reason to fight.
This is optimistic, but ultimately misguided.

Will have to disagree with you. Plenty of dislike, hate and wish for revenge has been built the past 16 years, whether it is at the corporate, alliance or coalition level. Even new corporations/alliances living now in null have their own enemies.

And youâve got to remember that the free SP theyâre giving out doesnât even need you to select a character. If you werenât logging in anyway, youâre probably not logging on long enough to show up on the âonlineâ list for more than 30 seconds.
Please donât go citing my writing if you donât understand it. Yes, we have reasons to fight. Thatâs not the same as reasons to undock, and itâs not the same as a willingness to fight against overpowering force.
We have reasons to shoot one another. We donât have reasons to be willing to get shot. And you need both.

And that is a good and fair point as well.

This used to be the meme, probably back in like 2016, but has long since died out after the introduction of Citadels, Rorquals, and capital proliferation.
People donât do things for ârevengeâ or âdislikeâ or âhateâ anymore.
You have to realize that like, most alliancesâ upper command channels are (fairly) good friends with other upper command members from other nullsec alliances. Many whoâve been playing the game for decades and know each other fairly well or have even met in person at irl EVE events.
You may have one or two salty individuals, but the fact of the matter is every alliance that has tried to start something based on ârevengeâ or âhateâ and the like have all died. Probably the most prominent example in recent time was Circle of Two, who decided to say âScrew the blue donut, weâre gonna put content first!â and went on a mad rampage for about a week, before being internally killed off by The Judge.
Alliances donât live based on revenge anymore. Sure, youâll have some ill-feelings towards another, but that doesnât matter. The reality of the game at this point is pretty obvious. Thereâs really no reason to fight anymore. You can hate someone all you want, but is your hate enough to suffer almost a monthâs worth of off-time Structure and Sov grinds?
Even simple the simple Astrahus takes ONE WEEK to kill, assuming the timers all come out on a good time (and not, for example, 4am on a Tuesday work week). Let alone core structures like Fortizars, Ihubs timers, and even Keepstars.
Iâd love to be proven wrong, but sadly, if there were an alliance that still operated on revenge and hate, theyâre doomed to fall into irrelevance very quickly.

Ditto!
Null is swarming with PVPers having a blast!

If what I have experienced in GSF to date, the new sucky Null Meta for above PVE ainât gonna change unless CCP gives us structures to expose local.
This change has certainly helped other MMOs, I started playing one again actrvely (WOT), and just bought subs to two more (ESO and NMS) for my PVE MMO fix.

What? Thatâs all on-grid together. You can look for bubbles. You go straight tether-to-tether. Whatâre you smoking?
And youâre not risking a Rorq. Seriously, have a cyno, be minimally aware, and be ready to get in the cover fleet and jump into Theta comms. Your Rorqual is in absolutely no danger. Youâre sitting there âwaiting for the new norm to evolveâ? Itâs already evolved. Use the Mining Drone IIs, youâre still making more money than sitting on your butt docked up.
Want to run the abyss? Run it. Run it in 1dq, right on the keepstar grid. Chill out on comms with everyone else. If someone jumps you when you come out, speak up, get in fleet, and watch the bored cover fleet warp over on whoever tried it.
You have friends. Use them.

I must have misread what you wrote, youâre a member of a large Eve Alliance / GSF and they donât provide any backing for their Indy corps?
Thought the whole idea of the Null Sec Local Blackout was to generate more Fleet Ops.
