So I’ve come to a conclusion when it comes to EvE.

Eve has been dying for a long time, some of it has to do with toxic players that hunt new players and the fact CCP did nothing about it for almost the entirety of the game. Then there's things like monacle gate, incarna, CCP sending nearly all the money elsewhere, etc.

I think goons have been keeping the game afloat. Casino war, remote medical clone setting, Faction warfare isk waterfall, etc. Goons did a bit to help with all these things getting "rebalanced" and helping to put some more life into the game. If there's an l33t group of toxic assholes, goons are either going to help or do it themselves to kick their sandcastles down.

The high sec tutorial poo poo is only good for teaching you how to join the real game in null. I say this as a PvE person, who is really bad at PvP. Fleets are awesome, losing poo poo is fun and making money to buy welpable funboats is dead easy once you move to Delve. I'd probably hang out in Karma Public in game and talk to a few people in that channel about where to go once the beginning part of the game starts to lack interesting things to do. Which arm of the GSF you actually go with is of course up to you, no matter where you land there are tons of people on comms who will help you broaden your horizons and learn new things to do.

I don't even miss Highsec anymore. If you like PvP, can learn how to move in a group and don't mind a bit of monotony in grinding for funds for the good poo poo the game will be good to you. The people you connect with are the real draw, and we have some of the best people I've ever encountered in every major role that touches the day to day experience. From structures I can use but don't pay for to training to free ships and the Ship Replacement Program to the dozens of exceptionally cool people on comms that will quickly become people that matter to you even when you aren't in game. I can not recommend this game enough.

Edit: I watched Eve for 15 years before installing, waiting until June of '18 when the solo PvE ads hit my FB stream and I caved and installed.

That dude is making one key mistake in his argument.

He's assuming we're like PL and deploy to poo poo on people for no reason. We're happy to sit in Delve and crunch rocks unless there's someone who needs to get slapped in the face for past crimes.

Is there anytime frame on when wardecs will no longer be literally rear end, and how likely is my stuff still in Deklein?

They've already been changed so you need a permanent structure in space. Also fairly likely, unless it was in one of the stations GotG ceded to us, in which case it's been teleported to a station in lowsec.

no

other than the rare idiot no one will engage you solo without ECM and/or logi alts on standby and even if they do they are probably bait for someone's capital group

Other than some niche stuff like chasing people around in complexes (and even that is dying) solo PVP is mostly a thing of the past

group PVP generally again, involves people refusing to engage unless they have alts to help them/caps to drop on you, or at a larger scale, following hundreds of people around and mashing F1 when told to do so

They changed wardecs in the last major patch so that you have to own a poco, a citadel or similar, or own sov to initiate or receive wardecs, so their target pool decreased dramatically.

For anyone who is reasonable, it's unabashedly good. It allows player corporations, also known as the single biggest mechanic for ensuring player retention in Eve, to have a way to exist in highsec without being permanently wardecced by three or four little groups who wardec literally everyone at all times.

If your little highsec shitter corporation got wardecced, you either fled to an NPC corporation or logged off for a week. Now, you don't have to.

I guess the other side of this is that these hisec wardec corps now have to have something to lose when they start a war.

If a Corp's only structure gets destroyed, does that end the war?

It does, but anything counts, including a POCO in an abandoned C1 nullsec static wormhole. It's not a particularly meaningful requirement on the part of the attackers.
