EVE General Discussion

theres no winning for CCP in this. They either let Goons have their fun and do everything they can to "break" EVE

OR

They step in and stop legal, in game, play and set a horrible precidence.

Why would you want the whole universe being one homogenous mass? That seems like it would make the game way less interesting. The different types of space support different lifestyles. In one fell swoop CCP would be eliminating most of your options for how to play the game. Everybody would have to either quit or choose "peon in a big alliance" as their career. I get that some people really enjoy that role and more power to them, but that's only a fraction of the population that prefers that to all the other options.

And they impliment everthing they talk about on Twitter? I dont follow them, Im just trying to get some backstory

wrong thread bro. our CFC internet drama is somewhere else.

That sad attempt as calling my alliance crap was like a week before the current round of entertainment.

More true than ever, blue *IS* the new red.

Mittanis Double fail anyway

If you look at the markets stats for the last month in regards of BI, OI you can’t pass to admit the prices were only jumping sporadically in the mid of the month, and descending now again. So the attempt to “destroy” the Eve market already failed to a great length.
That is Fact, period!
What left is a “perma gank” in the Gallente Ice Fields. But even the ganking is not such a great success as it was anticipated; even though they have improved their weaponry, it lacks on consistency to the initial stated goal.

Two thing where neglected in the planning.

1. Since Incursion High sec is better coordinated than it ever was before.
2. Ice miners just move to Amar, Minmatar or Caldari space.

Taking on the whole empire Ice fields at once is a chunk too big to swallow for GS human recourses (pilots) since they have other engagements in the arena of Alliance warfare. The gank is done mostly by 3rd row pilots and spiced with occasional visits of skilled personal.

Their A Plan goal has failed, remains Plan B, screwing around in high sec.

For hardboiled market strategist this all is nothing but a rise of the eyebrow.

So Plan B is than really Plan A!
To stir with CCP it's all short managed just but fits to the twisted personality of "the Mittani", the strategy of sending in a plague of locusts to a handful of Asteroids was to less, too little to created the desired impact at CCP in how the game shall be played.
CONCORD will get a boost; ganking in hig sec. will get more difficult. (Considerations already formulated after Hulkadeggon II ,…so nothing new here) Will it speed up the process? Possible. Is there a need of monitoring by the player base? Of course, since the position of the CSM chairman is hijacked by special interest, a even more critical look is to be taken by the CCP board and the player base in general.

Personally I find this 'Goons control Eve/CCP' meme/conspiracy a bit too tinfoily. Seems to be the sort of thinking that comes from watching too many reruns of the Glenn Beck show in a loop while gatecamping a dead-end system in the drone regions all night long.

You're smart because you're so ugly. ;)

Oh come on

Russian Roulette eh?
Here, let me prep that gun for you.

The Fun Part
==========
The Mittani is aiming for the greatest meta-scam of all time. Create enough highsec tears and screaming to force CCP to "fix" the problem, thus screwing the sandbox and the game for good. EVE becomes just another of those MMOs where PvP is optional.

The Serious Part
=============
Hilmar and Zulu have stated that they believe CONCORD needs to be buffed. Wardec policy was also recently changed. Highsec is become increasingly risk-free.
