EVE General Discussion

Players who bring content into the game are always nice, and from what I've seen in burn jita2 it was rarely loss of ships for the goons.The freighters were cherry picked so that they were really worth ganking or at the least not at loss.

What I enjoy about these types of threads is seeing the different aspects of a sub-set of the game I will never ever be part of as I enjoy parts of the game others will never ever be part of by simple collusion of playtime/mentality/interests and affiliation

After 8 years of being here, I have seen how EVE is an amazing melting pot of extremely well defined regional, political, social and economical self imposed boundaries that mutate in game to create new wholes or perpetuate said boundaries creating marvelous constructs of entities that are fascinating, from a certain perspective, read and see about.

The Metagame and the social intricacies within it are so vast and complex and so based on human perceptions, thus flawed from the start in my opinion, that EVE from an outsider´s view ends up being a highly different game depending not only from the region you are looking at it, but even timezone, day of the week, month or specific hour, only adding spice to the wonderfully wrought mesh chain that is eve.

Reminds me of the old saying a teacher used to tell my class regarding perceptions, when studying human figure drawing tests.

"No matter how hard you look at that wall, you will never be able to see how it looks on the other side, unless you go to the other room, and even then, you will stop seeing the previous wall" . Kinda loses a bit of the force of it when translated and out of the context, but that's how I feel , when reading this or that news site, this or that thread, or this or that forum regarding eve.

So alien, yet so close, so unknown yet so predictable.

A game that after 8 years still remains mysterious, simply because of the people and player driven content and the profound feuds that spawn within it.

Most games after 1 year remain the same , eve is always evolving, always in flux, beyond the crap ui, lame graphics and spreadsheets and awful menus and repetitive mind melting station music.

The Flux , the Chaos, the Drama and the way people move and react to it is always fresh, despite containing the same basic elements over and over.

This game is simply marvelous.

Weasel here is a fairly typical goon.

Sometimes he can be a decent guy, and offer helpful information. But mostly he just says things like this.

Bottom line about the goons is that they are griefers. They get off on causing other people misery.

Now, they may or may not be really cool guys if you are a Goon, but as far as the rest of us are concerned, they're just an extraordinarily successful band of scammers, liars, con-men, gankers, griefers, and general ass-hats. Never, ever trust a goon, at all, under any circumstances, even if they are offering to recruit you.

That's not what I learned from Riverini.

No, because there's corp history.

So essentially, if people throw their toys out of the pram and leave because they don't get their own way in space.

It's our fault.

Cool.

Got it.

That’s part of the problem with you goons. You think bad content is ok as long as it benefits you.

They do provide a service, just as Heaven needs Hell and Darth needed Luke, Eve also needs it demons.

They can provide content but its their blatant lack of respect for the game and its community that earns them the hate. The non stop exploitation of every single thing that can be exploited. Just because something can be done doesn’t mean it always should be done.

No matter how many bridges a good man builds, if he builds those bridges while working for a sheet company his work will still be sheet.

One of the so called content from the goons that made me laugh was the proposed war games. So they don’t want to fight in null and have a war but have organized fights(duels) because they feel war is to stressful and costly? Any thing to keep the sea of blue calm I guess.

Keep that content coming just don’t let the cat sheet in the sand box.

You are cherry picking, but I won't hold it against you.

It's important to remember that income is not always greater than outflow. The Canadian one-cent coin, by way of example, cost 1.6 cents per unit to mint. The Canadian mint was actually losing money on every penny they made.

I fully admit further along in my post that it's unlikely to ever reach that point; there are other sources that CCP can draw from to build a subscriber base. My point, however, was to show that the Goons' behavior is confusing to the point of irrationality.

after having conquered every region in 0.0 at some point in time the only thing left to do is flog some hiseccers

not our problem if they don't know anything about this game *Snip* Please refrain from personal attacks. ISD Ezwal
