When all is said and done, the null-bots banned faster than produced, the pirates griefers and goons will cry " WE NEED ORE! WHY ARE SHIPS SO COSTLY? MIGHT WE HAVE SOME ORE AS WELL?" The carebears who have long stockpiled will hop in their battleships, fire their weapons and say "**** you"

tl;dr don't overdo it.

Anybody that knows me will attest I have gone on record many times stating that insurance after ganks was dumb (and hey we got that fixed) and that exhumers do not really have sufficient defenses.

so no skin off my back :)

Those abaddons on the jita undock were delicious killmails.

Want more.

I wonder if this event you are hosting is really because you want to make the game more fun, you know for the lols. I remember once you making fun of the layouts that ccp did to recoup the losses in 2011, so what are you are you really, an passionate gamer with a good idea (hulkwhatever) or you don’t give a **** about this game anymore. Now you are the Mitten sidekick and is really hard to say if you are influenced by the goon mentality and decided that making miners and people related to industry go away is a good thing. Is this extension of your event (from a week to a month) your tool to deliver your revenge to ccp because you got banned (it applies to the Mitanni as well).

I know, I know this event was plan before the Mitanni incident, but I am not sure is you really hate eve or you just want to make it more fun.Question

Soooo exploits are good? The whole reason GS takes advantage of and uses the exploits so much is to force CCP to change things.

I think you overthink things. I love EVE, I get really mad when CCP does things to threaten my hobby, and I like causing mayhem, because I am a pirate.

And since mittens' goals and mine coincided this time, it seemed logical to work together on this occasion.

It's fun kids, but I would like to present this friendly public service announcement... you are getting close to over doing it. What is my reasoning you ask so politely? A month of Hulkageddon following a burn Jita event may be full of lulz, but it is starting to catch on everywhere. CCP is taking notice, and when CCP takes notice they can easily decide to notice that a certain mechanic/tactic/shipclass is being used to often, and to too great effect. Whether you agree with them or not.


I would prefer if Hulkageddon stays around, just like I would prefer to be flying a Nano'd HAC right now that defies all weapon tracking. But alas, I fear that by the end of this month all of the delicious tears that you crave will force the issue to be addressed by CCP in the following months.




You made CCP look at and nerf the boomerang.
You made them notice that abandoning your drones was a bannable offense.

Yes... all obvious exploits, but as you troll this thread, just remember one thing, they were easy to look past until they were used in excess.





As these events progress and come into their own, it is all to easy to take it somewhere that could have unintended results for you. I don't know what the future holds, but I do know one thing... when CCP notices something big in game... we all tend to suffer a little bit from the backlash. It's on the news, it's on the forums and it is central to the highly publicized thingy that shall go unnamed. All of you have managed to troll and lol'd suicide ganking into the limelight like never before, and if history can be our teacher, to make an obvious meme, this is probably going to end badly. Or at the very least, not the way all of you want it to.


not untrue actually

No, they really won't. While we suck on space pebbles in high sec, they mine whole moons in null. They're not running out of money any time soon, and they have far more than any carebear.

Hey, now, stop that. We're not here to let a long history of helping the game get in the way of the narrative carebears like to spin.

Confirming that we do not have asteroids in nullsec. And they are definitely not massive.

"I tell you what, it's going to be f***ing brilliant," Jon Lander, senior producer of Eve Online, told Eurogamer this morning. "Absolutely brilliant.


Quote:
"Last night I got an email - Jita was at 2100. Time dilation kicked in at 15 per cent. And there were people just watching the sh*t that was going down. It was brilliant. It was absolutely great."

Lead game designer Kristoffer Touborg insisted that player-driven events such as Burn Jita are what make Eve Online stand out from other games, and that it's CCP's duty to sit back and watch.


Yeah man sure sounds like they don't like us doing this.

Tens of thousands of ships all destroyed in highsec without wardec and all done while having no discernible effect to the attackers as there still making profit from it.

If CCP make bad game design choices in response to players doing the kind of thing that makes EVE great then the people who legitimately suffer as a consequence will be the CCP employees who find themselves out of work because their game failed and their company went bust.

The players will just go and play a better game.

I think it would be quite terrible of CCP to nerf something because it is used excessively because they do nothing about things that are never used. There are metric tons of ships never used because they are worthless. So, CCP, if you want to put time in to something put it in to bettering the unused instead of screwing the used.
