EVE General Discussion

This. Its what EVE is. Its the sandbox in action, stopping it would go against the fundamental concept. I think CCP will love it. This sort of press is what gets people interested in eve that player driven events like this actually happen.

I want Jita stopped as a major hub as well.

But the Goons doing it just sounds like............they do not deserve to be the ones to do it anymore.

The idea of shuttling down Jita is hardly new.......much less creative.

I would rather choose another system out of the hundreds there are to play in the day of the Jita tantrum. The only thing this little escapade is going to accomplish is enforce how juvenile Goon and it's alliance members truly are. I would hope your enemies would take action on this day and invade your space.

Of course there was malicious intent. There might not have been an intent for the guy to actually shoot himself, but there definitely was an intent to use the stagetime to make Mittani/Goons feel glorious about themselves by ridiculing this guy. And that's malicious, even if you intend it as a joke.


You are not required, you are allowed (as before).

However, what I would be really careful about is answering such threats verbally, unless you actually want to do so to try and help the other guy. As part of banter, I'd end it when anyone takes it there. Then again, I always thought this was a good policy, so no problems for me there.

CCP shouldn't and I seriously doubt they will take any action against anything GSF want's to do in game including the "Burn Jita" initiative. It is all part of the sandbox. Something EvE is built upon and CCP pride themselves for.

Trade hubs are bad for the game anyway.


BURN THEM ALL.


Why stop at Jita ???

GET CREATIVE.

JITA, DODIXIE, AMARR, RENS, HEK, TASH-MURKON, et al.

Effects?

None. Not any meaningful ones, anyway. A few people lose stuff, some money moves around the economy, at most Jita becomes a little more quiet for a bit as the traders and industrialists take their business elsewhere, but the game as a whole doesn't rely on Jita. It's a convenient hub for activity, not the activity itself.

The most the Goons can hope to accomplish is inconveniencing a bunch of people who'll probably be smart enough to outmanoeuvre the problem anyway (and if they cant.... oh well, that's EVE. HTFU.)

CCP certainly don't have anything to worry about. if the Goons think they can shut EVE down single-handed, they've forgotten that that's what they wanted to do in the first place.

Look how well that turned out

Exactly. There's plenty of trade at the other hubs, and it will just move there - if it moves at all. I'm not particularly convinced that the Goons will be effective in affecting Jita trade to any large degree.

I don't expect much in the way of tears either; those who use Jita enough to matter will see this as an opportunity or, at the very least, understand that this is Eve and won't whine about it.

But we'll see, I suppose.

If Goons want grief and tears then they should instead move their Tornadoes to mission hubs and start ganking expensive mission ships. Those who run missions 23/7 are quite possibly the most self entitled, conflict-averse people in all of Eve, and they would whine the loudest. Plus, it still affects the market to a degree by destroying expensive ships and modules.

Tash-Murkon? Really? That place is a ghost town. Might as well toss Ouresaleaurt (or whatever that abomination is) on the pile in that case.

Dodixie is my home system.

Light it up.
