The impact of an invasion is bigger than a single system. The way the agent system works there’s only so many agents worth running, and an invaded system can be a an inconvenience in a constellation. Also trade routes are a bit messed up.
That said currently I don’t think it’s too much of a problem, but it’s also not something to just completely ignore either.
It’s really quite simple. Just stop logging in. That’s what null did during the black out. If you log in and try stuff you just end up throwing away your work. If you stop logging in, you lose nothing really. You can’t fight the invasion because CCP has already decided the outcome and nothing will change that. Just log out, let CCP do what they do and then see how it is in 3-12 months. Easy and you can save rl money doing it.
Not to say that I agree there is a conspiracy against my fellow Caldari capsuleers. I do agree that the trigvasion invasion has impacted Faction Warfare, and it seems, most unfairly, the Caldari faction suffered the worst effects. Perhaps it was intent, or more likely an unlucky application of coding which CCP was not aware of how many players it would effect negatively.
FW is the perfect place and play style for anyone who wants to play the sandbox, but doesn’t have enough RL time to be a null warrior. It is a significant amount of the active pvp player base and content in EVE-Online. We, the faction warfare players, have been largely ignored, besides maximizing our accelerating gate, and giving us a Large plex that spawns once a day, because they forgot to add it into respawn. This unwanted PVE/PVP content has indeed effected us all. Although not as much as UCSC members, who due to the Ichoriya incident, resulted in loosing a large portion of members to more appeasing content.
How to fix, I am unsure, as shaking up the sandbox is needed. Changing which systems to add to avoidance list, and bottle necking Mission runners into declining 50% of their missions offered was not what we wanted though…
Not sure why the conspiratorial tone. Numerous systems relevant to Gallente FW have been targeted for invasion (Caselmon, Stacmon, etc.) and the Hikkoken trig victory is as annoying to us as it is to calmil. The difference is that no one in galmil went deep into debt fighting Trigs. We got our trig standings and moved on ignoring the content we did not wish to participate in.
I don’t know if it is killing hisec PVE, but I know its made industry and supply chain logistics a boring nightmare. Whoever thought it was a good idea to dump a bunch of fire ants into the sandbox and call it “fun” is probably the same waterhead that brought us “greed is good”, the Incarna vaporware and $70 monocles.
Anyway, my 4 accounts end tomorrow night, I don’t plan to come back until the forced content disappears. I love this game, have since I created my first character in 2006, and this isn’t the first time CCP had done stupid ■■■■.
“Difficult” and “impossible” are not the same thing. Maybe the presence of a non-highsec system is an impossible obstacle for you, but not everyone is as bad at EVE as you. Perhaps you should consider moving away from the helpless perma-victim mindset?
Nope. Casual players massively overstate their own importance, but by definition their casual status means they have very little impact on the game. And remember that not all casual players are completely terrified of PvP like you, many casual players enjoy PvP and welcome changes like this.
