There are 72 Abso BattleCruisers in the Forge right now, 43 Vargur, 35 Machariel. Those are small numbers compared to 400,000 subscribers. If the Industrial 1% said screw you, make your own. How many would?

How would EVE do if ISK suddenly didn't matter?

Just pondering the destruction of EVE as we know it, nothing to see here Big smile

Go ahead. We don't need you.

Seriously, if you're going to go on strike just do it and stop this posturing crap. But you won't.

They would rapidly be replaced by other ISK-grubbing carebear filth. Your kind is more addicted to seeing your wallets expand, than we are dependent on your products and excretions.

Hah, industrialists "quitting." Good one.

If the 1% did that then the best 0.99% of the remaining 99% would step up and make those profits instead. And they'd be 1.01% less whiny about it

Wow, you guys didn't even get up to bat on that one.

I made a Dardevil back in 2005 because a wreck burped out a blueprint. Since then? Nothing, nothing at all.

Nope, wrong. I made 5 large CCC 1's a few years back. I have no idea where the BPO is now.

Much like the intelligence in this thread.

It seems you've mistaken me for somebody who cares.

The OP was actually just an amusement topic. Its the meatheads that followed thinking it was another hardcore serious biznus thread that kind of spun it down. Welcome to EVE. Idiots with a passion Smile

About 1%… mainly those in the original 1% since there's no reason for them to stop.

And no reason for anyone else to start.

I was thinking more of the comedy factor if we all were actually forced to fly T1 cruisers again. Maybe some day.

Of course not, since that 1% fills the market quite nicely as it is.
