Your blog is a bright shining monument to bad posting. :cripes:

Congrats to Goons for coming up with a great IDea and then executing it. I love emergent gameplay.

Obviously Goons hegemony presents a problem for the rest of the players if it continues. For example they can announce that they are going after some other commodity and not even have to implement it, but make millions on market speculation. Insider trading like this is completely illegal in RL - will CCp have to implement some sort of FCC laws on the market as a result - a concord of the wallets? It will be interesting to see what comes after the drone regions rebalance the Ice deficit.

I doubt they will because that kind of game play is still within the game mechanics.

I have read all of this and other threads. I am getting fat due to the amount of cheese i am eating with this whiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnneeeeee.


All of you get off of your collective asses, form together and make sure that the Goons cannot do this too you.

They are not tearing apart the game. They are working within the rules and the current game mechanics to their benefit. What are you people complaining about???????

They killed my hulk??????? I can't ice mine, Mommy (CCP), they are being mean, the took my hulk and wouldnt give it back. Gosh, such children you are.


If you want to stop them, treat them like a bully. Stand up to them with greater numbers. Turn the tables on them. Create a large alliance and ice mine the crap out of a belt with a large number of ships to protect you. Be smart. Make them come to you and pounce on them. Make them start fearing the mobs that you can be.

If you all would stop acting like sheep and start acting like wolves you would get something done. Put away your fear of each other treading on your territory and go after the Goons. A Goon leaves null, go after him. A Goon leaves a station go after him. Wardec the crap out of them. Make it so they have to worry about even comming into high sec. Don't make it safe for them.

The goons want you to be splintered, afraid, terrorized.

What are you going to do about it?

Maybe your enemies need to become your friends for the sake of the ice you guys will be mining. Share in the spoils.

Stop wringing your hands "what are we going to do....." And do something...

Become the terrorists, thi is the only way you will defeat them. Stop depending on CONCORD to save you. Save yourselves.

If you're an actual human mining ice and get ganked by a Goon, thank them. You were wasting your life.

It sounds like the attack in minmatar hydrogen was nothing more than a ruse.

Why Can't I have a picture signature.

Also please support graphical immersion, bring back the art that brought people to EvE online originaly.

I support Goonswarm bringing some war to high-sec.

Now instead of just concentrating on Gallente space, perhaps they can try their hand at disrupting whatever ice (and resulting end-result) forms in Minmatar space.

I am surprised there have not been more mercenary corps alliances jumping at the chance to kill poorly fit t1 ships in belts in high sec.

CCP has shown that they're fans of players policing themselves. It creates conflict which creates more gameplay.

So no FCC for you!

ps mining makes like 20mill/hour right? 1 plex is about $15 or 400mill so you make $15 in 20 hours. you are literally working for less than $1 an hour and don't try to pretend it's fun, bullshit is it

Would that be because a certain corp with whom you have an unhealthy obsession lives in Minmatar space?

Not usually a fan of Goons, but this is the most interesting thing to happen in hi-sec since people were shooting statues in Jita.

+1 to Goons
