Every day there are probably 40 people who would like nothing more than to have a good ol' Outcast vs Corsair fight.
But none of them are having it because they check the Player Status list on the forum and see 0 people online in Gamma and 0 people online in Alpha, so not even one of those 40 people even logs on in alpha or gamma, because they have absolutely no reason to be in those systems except pray for a raid.
In those systems there are no more people smuggling cardamine, no more people smuggling artifacts, no more people doing missions, no more people taking bar bribes, no more people repping to get their gear, no more people training PvP, no more people helping others with any of that.
Everyone is in their comfy /restarted ship in their comfy /conn or in their comfy /restarted 3-minute-to fill superminer, or clicking on their comfy forum player list, or fearing the wrath of the super-RPers calling them PvP whores, dreaming about the good old wild days.
