If a corp can afford to have permanent payouts, which must mean every member has all the isk they want, then there is something wrong with the mechanics of the game.

Must be Too Easy Somewhere, needs to be fixed.

Just sayin.

Sorry, you can't reprimand people for being better at the game than you.

Things are only impossible until they are not.

Nah, nothing wrong.

The said party is just good at manipulating the market.

If you think a simulation of raw capitalism is a 'wrong game mechanic', you belong somewhere else.

Its more a problem with CCP. When mOo Corp tried to take over the game in the manner that the goons are they got pulverized by CCP. But CCP has allowed goons to grow so large that the goons now hold too much sway over policy decisions. The goons will have fun for awhile but in the end they will ruin the game even for themselves.

I heard you stole a bunch of CONCORD ISK printer machines and set them up on moons and codenamed them 'Technetium Moons'.

Blame the easy ISK in empire..

0.0 alliances dont make ISK they trade in resources for ISK, the more carebears in high-sec the more ISK and the less each ISK is worth, which means with each carebear the economic power of 0.0 resources increase and so does the alliance holding it.

A Corp sells hulks at 300m a pop.
Kill 3000m worth of hulks for 100m prize.
Corp laughs.

I think it is far to early to predict final outcomes.

Many things were said to ruin / have ruined / going to ruin EVE.

I wasn't around when mOo was active, so I don't know more then what I read about them. But I remember how BoB was supposedly able to deploy Titans at any location they would want to defend. This was supposedly making them total overlords and what not. I remember forum posts asking to nerf BoB ...

Hey, in the end GSF might actually turn EvE into what it was supposed to be: Industrial corporations fighting with privately owned military equipment over resources.

J.

Don't anger the forum gods.

That would be a very lean, mean EVE. I like the thought.

It would be amusing.

Though more like tons of NPC corp alts mining and avoiding the gankers.
