OP, do you honestly believe every Goon wouldn't be proud of the fact that IF that ever came to pass, that they successfully killed a game by eliminating an entire style of players?

Earlier today, the Dixon Mining Guild and the Butz Manufacturing Corporation formed a coalition.

It's hard to tell if there is a light at the end of the tunnel for the Dixon-Butz Alliance.

That's more or less the plan. However CCP don't need Goons to kill Eve, they can switch off or implement crappy stuff so you move on your own Lol

I mean, I may not like what the Goons do, but I understand why they do it. It's part of the beauty of EVE.

The question is, will it get so bad that CCP would toss another bone to us carebears to keep us in the game? I hope not, even though I'm a carebear. I hope to not always be. I want EVE's harsh universe to push me into another play style.

"When some people notice a fire, their instinctive reaction is to reach for a bucket of fuel. Many of those people play EVE."

Rocket fuel, I hope. Because luv2delaydamage

Mittani isn't 'a Director'.

He also hasn't burned out (again) (yet).

Just read the thread title.

NO.

Go find your own solutions, there ARE solutions, you're just not willing to use them, apparently.

Less yappin', more zappin'!

CCP looked at Goonswarm.

I think what they said was "F***ing brilliant!"

That is all.

I just want to help everyone because I think we are thinking pvp means something different.

Low and null pvp is player vs player

But see in HS here we are using pvp but not defining it

It is player vs pinata

You whack a hulk it drops loot... it has as much defence as a pinata... no matter HOW you tank it... 3 kids will crush it.

Go listen to some of these cfc fcs they are bored, cfc is bored... they got no one to fight they cry when people won't undock and just give away kills...

Posting to confirm that there is plenty of time to gank a Hulk if it mines aligned and warps on neutral or red contact.

The CFC controls TiDi and we make sure every aligned Hulk gets TiDi'd to ****.

So why out of the thousands of subcribers CCP state they have as a playerbase do we only hear you goons stating that crap, you have obiously shouted it mantra style long enough to belive it yourselves, you are more like some of the nastier RL groups who advocate all sorts of mayhem and disregard for citizenscultures and different ways, and why simply because you dont like it well grow up boys, you want to fight miners then grow some and war dec em a corp at a time, and hey :) you can even hire your own allies now, seems like you obviously will need em as you obviously cant cannot compete in this game anymore any other way.
