yeah but you also do not have to enlist in a faction for faction warfare… a really cool improvement would be, if it was mandatory to choose a side. like, minmatar can shoot every amarr in space and vice versa. if that was just a normal mechanic. you choose your side and can’t go to places of the other side without being hunted. then there might be something that allows you to go there incognito… no idea, like a plastic surgery or something… there would be tons of possibilities for spies etc. that would also mean, there should be neutral spaces, that do not belong to a faction. well that would be nullsec. and there are player driven factions that rule. ---

This is where I feel that the CSM had failed its good citizens of Highesrc. They are the voice that we all voted for to deal with pilots huffing inside NPC corps. Take a moment to revisit the video regarding the Faction War reboot to understand that is our future with pvp ---

yes, that is exactly what i am thinking. they admire the gankers but don’t know where to start, to become one themselves. ---

NP, crossing swords on the forum is the last true PVP! Long live the nutjobs who have such a passion for the game that we have been here so long! No matter what side of the 8 sided coin you are on. Better for me is when the game fails so badly, that it falls in numbers like before I started and becomes a nitch game again who draws in the demographics that they _used_ to brag about. ---
