Let me put it this way

CCP won't let any single group destroy their cash cow. If, and that's a big if, any one group came close to damaging their subscription numbers enough to impact CCP's revenues in a significant fashion, you can bet that CCP's bean counters will start screaming bloody murder about how Hilmar isn't getting a bonus this year.

At that point, CCP will artificially shift the balance of power in the game universe in a way that will make everyone equally unhappy.

The fact that this hasn't (to my knowledge) ever happened says a lot more about the stability of Eve than you might suppose.

And before you even say "BUT GOONS AND TEST!"
Yeah, they're pretty big (20k+ members between them I think), but if history has taught us anything it's that empires become exponentially harder to control the larger they become. Goons and Test wield a lot of power in game, to be sure, but it's not an insurmountable amount, and, more importantly, they aren't damaging the game (regardless of what the haters will say).

tl;dr: LOL thinking that CCP would let players kill their paychecks, "sandbox" or not.



Its a purely fictional scenario :P

Come on... where are your creativity????

You should be a bit more respectful. James 315 will be the next highsec/mining CSM representative, if he so chooses.

If CONCORD declared mining illegal, all the miners would join Goons and mine in nullsec.

Highsec would beceome even more boring that in is, and that is all.
