So why is CCP supporting the Burn Jita event?

...because this game is about the players.

If there is one thing I could teach every b**** a** nub, it's that you play people. Not the game.

Burn Jita is only one of many examples of that (and I would argue a really poor example but f*** everyone because I am not a nice guy)

This game is about doing stuff. If you can imagine it you can do it. That is the promise. There aren't a lot of rules in this game when you really "burn" down to brass tacks. I'm not a mittans fan, at all. I think he's actually kind of an idiot. ...but god damn if he doesn't go big. You have to respect that. Any any one of you toolbags could do something just as big. So why don't you? Burn Jita was way over hyped but it sends a good message to the player base. You can get f***** up at any time. He who f***s is he who profits. Stop being such pansies. Anyone can make stuff like this happen. You just need to have the will and the vision. Isn't that why we play this game? Stop crying start planning would be my advice. Let's burn EvE.

I don't think you understand Eve. Look at your quote "Don't these people also pay the $15/mo fee? And if they do, why is it that they don't deserve to play EVE any way they like without being interrupted?"

No. You pay $15 to play Eve how you like, just like Goons pay $15 to play Eve how they like, which is what makes the game worth playing.

Did you think for even 2 seconds before posting that?

Nobody can play the game how they like if the Goons are preventing them from playing that way.

Of course they can, it's just that the risks are greater, don't mine in untanked hulks during Hulkageddon, use a retriever it's cheaper, a battleship has actually got a decent tank and I believe can mine faster than a retriever, it just requires a hauler and a few anchored giant secure containers. Run missions for a month, it's half decent money if you have lvl 3's and you can increase standings to reduce those pesky refining taxes. Don't go into events like Jitageddon, CCP put a warning up for it when you logged in, people went there at their own risk.

Self preservation and enjoying the game is greatly increased when you know what's going on around you, and actually act on that knowledge.

Would hit "like" more if it was possible.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

This, very much this! And yes, everyone can do such events. I myself was involved in the Maut attack last year, a player event that emerged from a very simple *unveil the spy* to *Nullsec alliance roflstomps you!* All of us enjoyed it greatly, both the winning & loosing side.

Same here, but usually I end up in jail if I drink in public. For some reason the local police are adverse to streakers Sad.

I also like to drink. Just FYI to anyone who is new... drinking or smoking certain substances is not the path to victory (a strict policy of not flying under the influence will keep you from getting too poor if on the edge). Only do this if you can afford it. ...but if you can afford it... silly things will happen. Like flying into a poison gas cloud in a faction frig thinking you are in a tournament. Promise. ...but when you have a few isk it's actually pretty funny. Big smile

you didn't?Lol

I lol'd when I saw that, things like that make Eve special.

Another fine example is the the socratic files: socratic's fall

lovely piece of socially engineered revenge, served by Concord no less.

"Sandbox" means that you can attempt any goal you like, not that you are gauranteed to achieve it.

I've emphasised the words that destroy your own argument.

And no, CCP didn't put up any warning about Jitageddon when I logged in. Not that it would have made any difference since my only purpose in logging in at the weekend was to buzz around in a throw-away frigate looting Goon wrecks. Big smile

Honestly, whenever I read these ill-thought out, self-entitled, illogical complaints about "goons", I substitute a 'c' for the 'g' in the post, form a mental picture of the poster as a result, and react accordingly.

Try it for yourself. It works surprisingly well.

actually you didn't.

when you have to resort to arguing semantics (and a poor one at that), even you should know you've failed.


when he said don't mine in untanked hulls, that doesn't mean people can't, it's just not the smartest risk/reward decision one can reach.
