I know their intentions. Compared with the past, there are fewer people, fewer production activities and hunting activities, too few encounters, and the overall feeling is lack of content. Now it is more meaningless to go out in search of content, and many battles have become pure Bait, more like an invitation, rather than an offensive and defensive battle around resources. Everything is intensifying, if this is what they want, a vast sovereign area with a lower population density.
The NPC sovereign area is very active. For example, 5ZXX, you can see from ZKB that there are a lot of destructions that happen every day. Several nearby sovereign alliances all want to control this place, so does the sovereignty itself lose its meaning to a certain extent? The significance of the activity here is just to mine elemental mines online at fixed points.
