All I saw in local ice field were a few ice miners making huge profits while goons tried and failed to gank them.

Maybe your initial attack cleared out the robo miners... But you guys def did not keep up the pressure.  

As the markets are already showing.      


"a few ice miners" means smashing success for us

and at these prices they'd be better off mining ark, an activity goons find so hilariously unprofitable you would be mocked endlessly on goonfleet.com if you admitted you did it

But, but, but it is the A in ABC... A: that means a make A lots of profit... Right?


A is for Ahahahastop mining

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.


I'm confused isn't rmting where we sell isk for cash why would we then buy plex with the cash


Whats confusing? PLEX rises with the cost of inflation. So people use it like gold currency.

If you had billions in bot income wouldn't it be smart to invest it and make more?

That was rhetorical. It is a known practice.

I don't bot... or because I am in Goonswarm, does that automatically mean that 1 time I did a sanctum to get above -2 was me botting? Also don't derail our conversation.

I did not say you bot. I was just pointing out that the causality of it all.

If you don't have a rebuttal to the content that's fine (typical).

You weren't insinuating all goons bot? I happened to have invested **** loads of isk myself. By your logic that is dirty goonie bot money.

Of course as these are the EVE-O forums that is difficult not to do even for me.

You don't understand, I don't give a **** if the goons bot or RMT or not. I give a **** that they are benefiting those who do, and more importantly, why.

So basically you're just mad about Goons in general and want all of us to know about it.

Seems obvious really. Do people really think that after Goons have stated multiple times that they have no intention of playing cop for CCP or enforcing the EULA that they're now running around blowing up botters for the good of all evekind? Ulterior motives for sure.

Ulterior would imply that we were hiding our motives behind a screen of proferred alternative reasons for acting.
