Actually, most of them were about fixing the hilariously bad experiences in nullsec that have been ignored for 2 years.

******* over high sec pubbies is for fun (and profit)

Ok, i'm not reading all this....

But I do have a question for our elite Goon masters....Why are you giving up so easily on certain miners?
I've watched the systems in everyshore for the last few days, and a couple of guys seem to be playing you pretty well. Have you already given up on them?
The hulk in ardallabier seems to clearly be a bot, yet you seem unable to take him? What's up with that?

Oh and really, I wish I have vid of some of the "Attempts" on various miners, I would have set something up, but I was loling so much I just forgot......Oops

Why can't we all just be honorable pod pilots and play nice instead of picking on the poor defenseless industrialists of EVE Online?

Lol, well you have eyes here, and they just ganked a poor retriever, yet they seem unwilling to tackle the hulk....and he's been here all along....Oops

Wow, just went next door to brap....looks like the miners have adapted.....Shocked

Ice belt full of hulks and support, this should be entertaining....

I always do get a kick out of the Goonswarm campaigns :)

I think I'm gonna defend the miners on this one though and fight back by not producing Brutixes.

Who's with me?

Take a stand by sitting down!

Hell no, we won't build!

Whew... this activist thing is a lot of work. I'm gonna go login to singularity and spin my ships for a bit while NOT producing ANY Brutixes.

well you gotta understand, our initial attack was so overwhelming all the soft targets were gone before our newbies got a ton of practice so they don't know how to handle the hulk well: we need to call in people who do and there are less of those right now

we're a victim of our own success really

Reminds me of when we put the station into W-4NUU.

We lost it under a pile of technetium

Literally lost it

Here's the catch 22 to the situation;

If the price of ice products see's inflation, the rest of the game will see inflation. So nanoribbons, loot, salvage, bpc's, bpo's, and every service in the game will cost more.

So while I will pay more money, I will make more money. And while they are getting people to gank, they will be making money from the market fiasco they are creating. This is EvE, opportunity cost rules. They are cutting themselves short and can't do it indefinitely. Since everything is inflating, they will still lose more opportunity cost than they gain.

The only market with exceptionable money to be made on during all this? PLEX. And you already have have had the PLEX beforehand.

And the RMT ******* and botters already have plenty.

Brilliant strategy.

Especially for known botters and gold sellers.

are serious business sir.
