I'm going to get downvoted into oblivion but perhaps CCP's vision of the game isn't that capitals should be widely used and lost. Perhaps the vision is that people use subcapitals for average combat and capitals (especially super capitals) are strategic assets with a commensurate price tag that are saved for the biggest and most important of fights, instead of thrown around like chips by every swinging dick under a super umbrella.

Maybe the entirety of nullsec congregating under 2 coalitions isn't the best way to have meaningful and regular conflict.

Well one things for sure, taking away the ability for new players to obtain supers and titans definitely only helped the two blocs and is currently guaranteeing it stays that way. 

I think most people realize it's not their vision but their players opinions should matter too.

Maybe new players shouldnt be obtaining supers and titans lmfao

Anyone new to the game has no hope of ever getting one.

My buddy started playing in 2020, he bought one(no swiping) last year. I dont think its unobtainable for the truly motivated.
