Brothers and Sisters? Do not let this thread convince you otherwise. The Goonswarm Federation is a highly respected Spaceship organization; in fact, CCP officials (Director of Marketing) has even said we're the best players in the game. Take my word, and the word of CCP marketing - Goons are not scammers, only butthurt pubbies (like myself) will try to convince you otherwise.



Not sure how to take that from a guy that has ' I fight for Hoovers everywhere' in their signature. Is that fight for their right to suck?

You take it with pride and dignity. You embrace the sentences you have read, and then you utilize them. Turning you into a better person.

When CCP started worrying more about their profit margins than building a good game.

I'd like to see a graph showing a correlation between 'worriedness of profit margins' and 'sandboxyness'.

NEWS JUST IN: Alternate Trade Hubs discovered in New Eden! Rumours abound of systems in other regions of space that also have a vibrant market! Greifers puzzled. More at 11.

There once was an interesting signature here... It has long since disapeared.

I wonder how this dude's mind works

"Goonswarm requires assetlist access for API keys used for services registration, hmm, they must be vetting accounts to hack"
"Goonswarm requires accountstatus access for API keys, hmm, they must be requiring all of their members to switch to PLEX so that they can drive up PLEX prices to combat RMT"
"Goonswarm is shooting up Jita in a month, hmm, they must be specifically targetting, of all things, haulers loaded to the brim with PLEX"

all while failing to connect a single dot within

(Waiting to hear you explain that the "real" plan will be to load THOUSANDSs of PLEXs into courier contracts that have HUNDREDS of BILLIONs in collateral, then gank those obvious n00b freighter pilots that would accept those contracts and try to undock.)

10's of thousand in a single day all gone...from game forever....short term blip would still take time to sort out and i am certain gooons have stores in place already as well....all this is just going to allow them to dump their plex and profit...i have no isk i just play andpay with plex i bet some of the richy rich plex traders can vouch for what i buy


I knew you could do it, well, except for the part about how they are going to get really stupid freighter pilots to front HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of isk for collateral and then undock into a horde of gankers. But hey, I'm sure you have some excellent "inside" information about that as well.

(Did I mention that a mere 10,000 PLEX at CCPs current price of $17.49 each equals a mere $174,900 USD ? I'm really sure the Goons are going to emoragedestroy almost $180,000 just to drive up market prices for a short period)

Yeah, 'cause all the "richy plex traders" keep track of a guy that (maybe) buys one plex a month. You are really full of yourself aren't you ?

i guess goons plan was to use that 15 trillion isk to devalue isk but ccp just took thier rmt monies away from demm...

hmm i wonder what eve would be like if it was not turned into an arcade game because of tech moons....

If the goons are planning on doing this then the simplest way of stopping it is not to accept courier contracts with large amounts of plex or any amount of plex in it.
