The tears of people who would rather cry than make the smallest effort to react to the smallest adversity.

If everyone just did what you do, there would be no point to a hulkageddon and no need for one.

good, people changing their systems to react to outside pressures is the very point of events like hulkageddon

This thread makes me want to start mining :)
Ohh-god, the price of ICE will soon come to 600k PU, and mining Pyrox in highsec is already pretty good isk. Scales well to as long as one knows what level 4 missions to run...

As the late English novelist Henry Fielding once said: "A rich man without charity is a rogue; and perhaps it would be no difficult matter to prove that he is also a fool." I applaud the initiative and generosity that the Goonswarm Federation has demonstrated in sponsoring this truly charitable endeavour. What a marvelous way to give back to a community that has given us all so much!

Mittens, I thank you.

Goonswarm Federation: Now outsourcing griefing to a high-sec ganker near you.


How does it feel to own a MMO out of curiosity

feels good man

Jade's career veered violently off course when a diplomatic envoy's transport was blown to pieces in mysterious circumstances and she was rescued from the escape pods by the enigmatic genetic mastermind Athule Snanm.

Now that is profit.

Pay someone 10 mill to destroy a Hulk and turn around and sell a Hulk to the person that lost it.

Impressive, most impressive.
That is a win.

Loss of sec status might not be worth it, just depends on how you do it, I guess...

Then again, I sometimes forget that I'm one out of every hundred players or so that doesn't use alts, so that's probably why I don't see it as that useful...

Will the "insurance" option be available for miners?
100mil ISK/month maybe?


This alone might pay for the whole operation...

Acutally you missed the point the profit is for goonswarm not for the gankers.
They are the winners as it is they who are cashing in Big smile

I do wonder if CCP makes enough money on Goons' subscriptions to stay in business once they succeed in their goal of driving everyone else away. Not really complaining, mind you. I'll be sticking around for a while. I find this to be a fascinating

But I'm not CCP Soundwave, so what do I know?

Goonswarm federation: sponsoring the fact they can pretty much do whatever they want in this game to spite all those that don't like them.


But it's their money so whatever.

Dumb question but if this system is automated why don't you guys pay up on every hulk popped instead of waiting for 10?

It'd be a pretty extreme pain in the ass to pay out 10mil for every single exhumer kill. The actual recording of "who needs to get paid" is automated, but at the end of the day, someone still has to actually open the wallet and pay each one manually. Far, far easier in bunches of 10.

100m isk per Hulk makes a difference, 10m isk per Hulk does not
