And in your silly brain this covers all the wardecs since their implementation.
That’s what I’m complaining about here, because it’s flat-out wrong.
I don’t care if that’s not what you mean to say, but it’s what you’re writing.
I fully understand what happened with wars. I was there for every significant change and knew the people affected.
I also understand why it came to be as it came to be, because I was there, knew and talked to the people affected.
And you?
How did you come to your oh-so-well-informed conclusion?
Wars were a legitimate in-game feature for the masses, until CCP pushed it more towards the wealthy.
And they’ve done that twice, with the second change being far worse than the first one.
Wars were never just about griefing people. CCP made changes which caused wars to absolutely go worse, but the bigger part of their history they weren’t just about griefing people. It was about claiming territory and getting rid of competition. It was about teaching bigmouths a lesson. It was about saving new players from asshole CEOs if infiltration wasn’t an option. It also was about getting people to experience them in a controlled fashion.
(CEOs talking to CEOs without mentioning this “conference” to their members. I did that. Everyone enjoyed it and I’ve lost gloriously, because that’s what makes sense when you want serious corporations of people to enjoy the game instead of getting literally destroyed by a single unknown player).
You’re basing your post on this snapshot of what happened …
… a devblog …
… without having any actual knowledge or understanding outside of this said devblog …
… and you think wars now have a purpose, which is like a spit in the face to all the serious wardeccers who left.
And I’m the one in a bubble? 
What about all those wars not declared by a “big player” ?
Excuse me, do you remember where you’ve posted the wardec analysis you’ve created?
You know, the one for which I’ve written the code to download some million killmails for you to crunch through?
Wasn’t the outcome of said analysis that basically nothing of significance changed …
… with the conclusion that people like Cypherous are just idiots for believing wars somehow improved ?
Thanks!
