Is Faction War Dead?

The falling totals are telling a story in Faction War. Faction War was supposed to be about defeating the enemy, but instead it is simply used to game newbs.

At first, as you can see by the higher totals, players really did try to win wars. Daily, Minmatar have fleets of 40-70, but what are they doing? Fleets of 30 Amarr have been seen, but they are not nearly as common nor nearly as large. The last system taken was in June. Why?

The goal has been displaced by pure pvp. pvp is not a terrible thing, by no means. It is part of the game and a lot of fun. Faction War should return to people seeking Victory Points. NPCs should give bounties to make them more desirable kills too.

The worst part about it? Kills haven't increased. If anything, they have decreased.
