It seems these days everyone is attributing the declining player-base to the lack of OP wars. Whether this is true or not still remains a question however in this post I will be addressing those players who believe it is the reason.
It seems many people look at outposts as "rightfully theirs". Something which they should own by right because the outpost resides in their lands. Others have the view guilds who own many outposts should be considered greedy. Both of these beliefs are in my opinion severely wrong. The misconception that Kami outposts should rightfully, without earning it, belong in Kami hands (and vice versa) has stemmed back from truces struck between Kami and Kara factions.
Outposts are by simple definition, a PvP mechanism. If guilds weren't meant to own more than a certain number of outposts, then there would be a cap on the maximum amount of OPs. If Karavan guilds weren't meant to own outposts in Kami lands then they wouldn't be able to own them and build their nasty, damaging drills there.
Outposts have been taken over and heavily influenced by politics, which is to be expected, after all they do produce rare mats. However they are a PvP orientated mechanic and people would do well to remember this.
What I personally find ridiculous is the fact people harp on about the lack of battles, then when a guild declares all of a sudden it is a horrid thing!
There are seven types of people:
If you are 1 or 2 then outposts aren't for you. If you are option 3 then fight to win the outposts back. Many people are working hard towards it and quite recently there was an excellent first phase battle between some Kami and Kara. I loved this fight and it was well fought and led on both sides. I look forward to seeing many more battles in the future just like that.
PS: Your faction's success in this game is not necessarily measured by how many outposts they own. If you personally think it is- don't expect such a thing to be handed to you on a silver plate.
EDIT: Just for you rollo :)
EDIT 2: Just for you xtar :)

There are seven types of people:
- [1]People who loose something, then whine and throw the toys out of the pram until they get it back.
[2]People who just don't care.
[3]People who loose something, then fight to win it back.
[4]People who can't spell "lose" correctly. What asshats.
[5]People who can't count! What asshats ;)
