That was always the case, just because of how it was us vs. the world whenever we logged. We used to have a steady activity wave. Every 3 or so months we would have an activity spike, after that it would drop for another 3. I noticed we stopped getting the upswing quite a while ago. It's not really a question of numbers, though they do definitely help, it's more that we lost the core thing our faction does.
There aren't enough trade ships. The major draw of our faction and what we do to accomplish our goal simply isn't there. XA isn't really a pvpwhore faction and never was. Yet recently, disco is all pvp. Space doesn't feel big anymore. We tried branching out with smuggling to Corsair buddies, mining premium scrap and other stuff, yet nobody was really interested.
I mean, I'd like to help XA- I had fun flying and helping you S: but oh well
