While I partially agree that yeah people left ... I do think as well that its not the best move to dump off XA like this. It is a good faction, right? All it really needs is some advertising and 2 guys logging to get some attention!
But then again ... Your call... Though yeah, pob when your faction is down isn't the best idea.
The thing is, XA really doesn't draw people at all like other factions. Nor does it retain. 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.
odd becasue the xeno ID literally screams pvp and chaos...
edit: Should be nOmnomnOm account. forgot to switch.
Oddly enough we didn't really attract many pvpwhores. Probably because no sabrus or outcast ships.
