EVE General Discussion

I have to agree. The Goon phenomenon has gotten out of hand. They are harrassing people ingame, harrassing people on the forums, harrassing website editors, and I dare say, have crossed legal boundaries if their their bragged about website antics (out of game) are true. It's obvious with this orchestrated effort to flood this forum with a campaign to stifle "dissent" by making it seem unpopular for people to even discuss the issue.

CCP, you have a beautiful and mostly well executed game here...but you are severely limiting your customer base and your potential profits, by allowing actions that have resulted in the tainted reputation you have earned, for allowing the gameplay and the game economy, to be run by one cultish group (most of who use plex anyway to pay for their multiple accounts).

Just look at how the outside world, and thus most of your potential customers, view this game. That's why, unless you start doing something, you will never compete in the market place, no matter how nice your missle trails become. It's sad really

I keep hearing about not violating your "values", and not interfering with the "sandbox". Well, what about the "value" of your company? You can take your indignation at taking action and feel good about it when this eventually is forced to become free to play and some of you lose your jobs.

I'm not paying for them to have fun and I work for a living. I don't have that much time online and am not going to spend what I do have, being harrassed.

I hated to do it, since I love this game, but I just voted with my feet.

all i saw CCP were just advising players of Conflict in Jita, which is helpful. to the person that lost a jump frieghter in jita, ur an idiot for trying during this time, but i also happy there was no profit for the goons, i dont like the goons but they have played the game to the point where they are now without breaking any rules and so it would be unfair for CCP to interevene in a non-gameplay manner,

I dont like the reason why the Jita event was done, but that outside the game and doesnt matter, the only way CCP would get involved is if $$$ revenue was being affected by these events

i hate most gankers, some are respectable, ganking miners just for 'PvP kills' is not, if done for this you are cowards.

The Gallente ice interdiction and hulkageddon are different, the reasons they are made is irrelavent. The eevents had purpose.

Hulkageddon, im a carebear, i personally hate hulkageddon, i lose ships at the start of each event which tells me its time to stop mining for a while. But its done withion the confines of the game rules so its part of eve as is anything else thats done within the rules though i think a whole month is a bit over the top, that said, if i had the income i would donate a prize to the Hulkageddon event myself as it keeps the economy going and goves reasons for people to play and make up the losses after etc

i dont like that my prefered activity gets disrupted, but there is always something else to do in eve, this game is called 'EVE-online', not 'Space Mining Online' :)

Meh, Im a carebear,. I dont care Im taking advantage of Hulkaggedon/ Jita Burn to move into another quiet lucrative Carebear Activity that will pay for both of my accounts with a few hours a week maintenance,.. So yeah Thanks GS I needed a break from mining anyways.

Whose the bigger fool,. the fool or the fool who follows him?

As far as I made a big fool of myself,.. meh branching into PI did 1 t2 planet realized it pumps out about 1.2mil a day profit,..Times 4 planets per char times 6 chars across 2 accounts,.. 24 planet PI network that will produce about 860m a month low maint,.. once I upgrade to a 36 planet network by boosting each chars skills to handle 6 planets each Itll pay for both accounts. Who pays for my accounts as a carebear,... Prolly the goons who bother wasting rl money on plex.

Who made your ship that you can PVP in?[/quote]

I MADE MY SELF SHIPS AND PEW PEW TAKE YOUR NOOB CAREBAER LOOT AND MAKE MORE SHIPS TO PEW PEW MORE OF YOU F#$%S !!

I am sure the flames will begin.

I have no issues with Piracy or Griefing. Didn't even care about burn Jita because it didn't cause a blip on the screen of my Eve life.

Thing is though, this game is geared a lot towards screwing another person. Why have Concord in the scheme of things? In a sandbox game, that CCP is trying to lead with story as well as player driven. Game wise, in empire, where Concord Reigns supreme. Such an event shouldn't have happened.

Also a sec status loss? Get real, that is so easy to turn back around, what have you lost in ganking someone? A cheap ship that you can buy another 1000 of by getting your status back up?

Maybe in you. Not in me

Bolded part is fitting, because capsuleers are immortal.

Hey, i went into Jita during the event, bought my gear, left. There were a ton of people in local. But I will tell you what, I thought the fireworks were great. Admitted, i'm not a goon, so my survival was on my own head. I used a blockade runner, fitted to warp fast and slip points. The first few people to warp scramble me didn't do anything, while their webs just put me into warp faster.

They have the right to do as they please just as we have a right to do as we please. It pleased me to run the system, so i did. If you let your own fear stop you, that's your problem.

Good grief, move on, everyone else has.
