Your flawed argument is like calling the owner of a small grocery store stupid for not being more competitive and letting Walmart put him out of business.


What you're saying here is that the US government (CCP) should shut down Walmart (GSF/CFC/OTEC) for being too big. Yeah thats not going to happen either. It will never change because there's no rule stopping anyone from becoming Walmart.

GSF used to be the small grocery store and BOB was Walmart and what did the GSF do? We took over the galaxy and crushed BOB and its 3(so far) reiterations. If you can't do that then yes, it's no ones fault but your own.



Learn your history For the analogy use AT&T rather than Walmart. AT&T was split up by the U.S. Government for running a monopoly. If corporations get so big in EVE that they significantly reduce the game play experiance then CCP is within their right to change the rules.



Learn your history, AT&T (well, Bell, really) had a Monopoly on its business that could not be shaken because of legal restrictions against putting up new phone lines. And decades of direct subsidy.

Goonswarm has no such special advantages.

Yeah they have others.... friends.......

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.

Actually, I think the relationships Goons form among themselves and with other alliances are the only unfair advantage they have.

Friendship is not only magic, it's OP. I don't get why other alliances aren't hopping on the Friendship Exploit train.

Clearly CCP should have remained 'impartial' by not fixing the bomb damage bug and allowing SoCo to carry on exploiting it.

They Broke something (massively), fixed it in a timely manner, and you're claiming conspiracy?

Had they not fixed it, DelveJam would have started Bombing Super Fleets. They already demonstrated the ability to put enough bombers in a fleet for poops and giggles to kill an Archon. Imagine the turnout of Bombers for a potential Super kill, or any other Super Serial Business.

You really need to stop letting facts get in the way of a good conspiracy theory.

That's what the Apollo truthers keep telling me when I show them LRO photos.

I guess I'm just bad at conspiracy theories.

Guerrilla warfare, attack their **** then leave before a response fleet arrives. You may not have supers but a well organized/timed/armed strike with smaller guns can do significant damage. suicide freighters/haulers holding moongoo
