Good to see you came out of your closet long enough to write SOMETHING?!

Whatever it was. lolz.

Easily goaded.


Get out.

Why would a kissGoon be in an NPC corp for nearly 9 months?

And which part of lag do you want fixed? The loading of ice roids?

Lets see some remote repped buffertanked hulks in ice drilling action so that the goons get something lil more challenging to do.

All of this is pretty unnecessary. If goonsquad wants to kill macks, dont mine ice. Do something else, like read this impossibly long thread. PvE maybe. Build a Brutix or 5... Go watch football. Maybe try talking to a real girl (this may involve exposure to direct sunlight... use caution.).

If the game was to break somehow, CCP will do something... maybe... but the fact is, no one mines ice because its exciting or even modestly entertaining. Maybe you have great talks in local, but its not exactly riveting game content. Shouting about fairness and sandboxes is all just a bunch of BS cause your mad someone blew up some ISK.

News flash : Destroying ISK makes CCP happy. So avoid the goonsquad and test until it is done if you dont want to get involved in PVP, but dont ***** about economic this or that, its a waste of time.

If your not enjoying the game in Gallente space, there is a lot more space out there to fly in. Goons and everyone else in the game are here to have fun. They have modified thier game to have fun, maybe now you all should too.

Just FYI, i occasionally mine ice in Aydoteaux, but I'm actually having fun watching this happen.

Remote repping a Hulk just means that a Brutix can't kill it. That's just fine because a lot of people suicide them with alpha Tempests anyway.

I approve of all Goon activities. Make high sec eat the eggs tbh.

It's actually been highly entertaining to watch the more persistent miners try to adapt by using remote reps or whatever; it gives us a more challenging target and means we use more than just Brutixes to take them out. But they die, inevitably.

Producers: Please make more Brutixes in Jita and Amarr. I suspect the daily number of Brutixes used will be escalating indefinitely.

we're seeing these, unfortunately for them all the softer targets are already dead so bored goons are taking them down

Actually, if you're smart, go do ice mining elsewhere. There may well be a shift to other iso's as tower factions are changed.

For mine, Mittens Mindless Marauders isn't hurting high-sec at all except for a few stupid Oxy drillers. If anyone is going to get caught up in this, it's quite possibly a big chunk of 0.0 Isk-printing machines. A good thing.

Oh. Everyone that is except the Russians.

News flash: you are an idiot.

A ship exploding is not an isk sink, but a faucet. Since no actual isk goes into the manufacture of the ship or its modules, and all items used to create it came from LP/Mining/Whatever. When it goes boom, isk is added to the economy.

This is nothing compared to the 24/7 ratting bots that infest our honourable space though, so really who gives a ****?

Ooooh Mr Rails, chill out man.

He said CCP likes ISK destroyed. i.e. broken ships.

And you guys DO NOT run bots 24/7.. Sheesh....

It's 23.5/7

But we'll never actually know 'cos you'll never report them.

Funny, but miners build this stuff, and other players buy plexes to replace thier lost ships. Miners buy the plexes to pay for thier accounts. Ships blow up... CCP wins

So go report the bots?

That's a fascinating statement. Where, pray tell, did you get this magical database of all the 0.0 players and their alt names? Did you do a standard Excel run to get the 90% figure?

Oh, wait, you're talking out of your A... postle again.

Goons have such bloated self importance they could all simultaneously fart on vent and think it's a monumental moment which will be spoken of for hundreds of years.

The only thing goons will really be remembered for is disbanding BoB, and that wasn't even something they did personally.



The tart from goons has more likes than you do.

What do you make of that?
