From history NC has never been about quantity. By “my group” I meant “my corp” that joined NC. specifically for the war, the day it started officially ^^ But, yeah, you have a point tho, NC. is not PH or Goonswarm ---

Am I supposed to care if a carebear who mainly kill mining barges and now consider a safe space to do friendly skirmishes between 4 T1 cruisers as a “big PvP event” think I’m a joke? I missed the memo about it ---

The vast VAST majority of people who join massive groups do so because they want the safety of the pack herd where they don’t have to think for themselves. That is a whole lot of unfounded assumptions.

I summarize: you’re either an idiot or you’re jealous of null sec player’s success in beating the game time and again. ---
