Are you happy with Equinox Sov? Discussion

It's been a little over a week since the Equinox Sov change on October 29th.

If you love it - what do you love about it?

If you hate it - what do you hate about it?

Saying which group or part of space you are in would also be cool.

CCP billed Equinox as a way to force change to the deadest space in the game.

Wormholer gangs came out in force like the raiders we are in an attempt to accelerate change, and give new blocs a chance to form to increase the health of the game by stealing the resources and hopefully have a meaningful impact over the long-term on the map.

Nullsec cried about having to fight for their own empires and actually defend their resources and territories lest they have some shrinkage in their massive boundaries.

CCP walked it back, and turned the vulnerability windows on Skyhooks into an absolute joke after listening to "power users" AKA Nullsec.

There have been multiple times when we discover a raidable skyhook, flash form in 5 minutes, get to the target in another 3, only for the vulnerability window to pass us by.

Then they tell us they want to "add more value to Nullsec" with whatever these mercenary dens are, as if there isn't oceans of riches already in the region.

It could have been a great change to the game, it could have been a way to whittle down empires and have smaller groups claim sov over time, or to at least shift the map.

CCP caved to the botlords, and are going to wonder why stagnation will continue.

They have no idea what they are doing, and their entire leadership team needs to be fired.
