Oh, so CCP decided it was cheating? Last I read they were saying it technically wasn't a breach of the rules, and actually pretty typical of Eve players to play the system like that. Got a link to the latest decision?

If you paid isk to get into GoonSwarm, you were probably scammed.  If you had the foresight to save the name of your scammer, let me know and I'll do what I can to help you.

Events like this and many in the past have been, and should be taken on a case by case basis.

We wait with baited breath.....

You may disagree or agree. One thing is certain: You will continue to play.

When the real world puts pressures and expectations on you with respect to this world, this is your escape or at least a place to waste your time.

Where shall you go? There is no place you can run. There is no place you can hide.



Sorry, I've found eve players running to both ToR and WoT and most of them like it better there than they do here. Mind you, it's the carebears to TOR and the PvPers to WoT, but... yeah, sorry, EvE ain't smack, and even if it was, I can get my fix elsewhere.


You forgot Mechwarrior online where the Goons themselves are going.

Assuming you are not a fellow winder, the case can be made that like WOT and many other games, this is just goons being goons while waiting for an actual war or goons that don't play eve because it is so boring when you are not trolling pubbies.

Hey the question was asked... where would they go. Theres an answer
WOT is another, there are many on the horizon too

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.

Considering the fire hose of new players trying to join goonswarm, it is obvious that you have no clue what you are talking about. At this point, I figure you are an alt of ours out to troll dumb pubbies and I salute you as such.

Because frankly, nobody else could be this dumb.

Um, I might point out that every time an alliance is on top they have a firehose of applicants. Why? Because people are lazy and success takes effort.

Or they're alts of your enemies trying to get in to attempt to stab you in the ass. This is eve, after all.

You seem to think that pissing off CCP = Playing EvE and it doesn't. Remember, this game is a sandbox until CCP says otherwise. Keep pissing them off. You think it's a pain when they take your assets? Wait till they start deleting characters.

They can, btw, do that, under the EULA.


You bring up a good point. If CCP took away my eve, I... I don't know what I'd do.

Oh God, one day, Eve will disappear anyway, what will I do then? All my ships and isk, buried in a storage closet on an obsolete hard drive, never to be undocked again...

Huh. Guess it's time to finally gather the vast number of players who hate us into a giant alliance, fly up to VFK and finally drive us out of the game for good, eh?

Don't worry about wardec mechanics, we're in nullsec, you can shoot whoever you like. Concord doesn't babysit us out here. Should be a short and easy war for you. As I understand it from Crime and Punishment, someone named Mine Lady, a distinguished pilot reported to have destroyed several powerful alliances before ours, has already amassed a great fortune and an unbeatable alliance to stop us.

We should have died last saturday, but she failed to consider that logistics might be a consideration in sov warfare, but I'm sure she's getting ready to fire it all up again, so maybe message her?

That's VFK-IV folks, our staging system. Open and ready any time you've finally had enough of us and decide to actually handle it in-game instead of just whining and bitching to CCP on the forums to ban us for actually playing the game, but in a way you don't like.

We mostly shield tank, so gear up to take advantage of that. Best time to attack is probably EU time zone, since we have somewhat less people on during that time.

Meh... It's 6:00AM in Iceland. They still have to wake up, get dress, drink some coffee, read the threadonaught... it will be some time before they issue any decision.

That said: why, I'm having a blast blasting you in other games. For free. Why should I pay CCP for the privilege of doing something in EvE I already do in WoT?

Which is why I laugh at you because you don't get goons. You have not the faintest clue what we are about.
