EVE General Discussion

So, I am basically looking for reasons why people hate the Goons.

I really don't see a valid reason for it, except for of course, they are so successful and we envy you for that.

Anyway, here's a list of possible reasons, plus their debunk.

You got ganked during Hulkageddon.
Well, you were warned WAY WAY WAY in advance, in fact, you couldn't even log into the game without being WELL notified of the event.
Therefore, any loss of mining barge during this period, in name of the goons, is entirely on you not paying attention and not being part of the eve community ( more likely, you are just here to make isk per hour and F anything else is your average attitude )

You got ganked during burn Jita
Basically, same rules apply.

You were part of a sov holding corp that got booted out by Goons.
Well, it's the name of the game I'm afraid, you failing to hold that sov, has nothing to do with them cheating or anything, more with them applying the superior tactics and mentality.
Again, this is not a reason to hate, merely a reason to envy.


And now, the TEST thing, why so many people seem to help TEST, simply because they hate the Goons.
You guys do know TEST got hold of sov because Goons helped them right?
You guys also know they were friendly towards each other for a really long time right?
You guys do know TEST backstabber the Goons first right?
So, considering this, if any of the above mentioned reasons for hating Goons is your reason for hating Goons, why are you helping a backstabbing alliance?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend right?
Well, all it's gonna do is replace "evil" with a new "evil" ( in case TEST manages to succeed somehow ).


So basically, all I'd like to know is, could you post why you hate the Goons? and also, please refrain from using the already mentioned reasons, unless you have something constructive to say about my debunking.

Goons = Wal-Mart.

'nuff said.

They paid 15$ to join an internet forum.

inb4 "I didn't pay"

Yeah right, I'm sure you paid twice to get a little picture for your avatar.

so sad.

But this isn't the only reason just part of it. What is the desire to join an internet forum like that? Where does it come from? I would posit it comes from a deep seated desire to be special. To be part of an exclusive club, an "in-crowd" and the community of SA reflects that. Indeed Goonswarm in EVE reflects this mentality, of elitism, false superiority, unabashed neckbeardism.

It's loathsome. I actually loath goons, as people. I very rarely run into them in real life, but when I do I loath them. That guy standing in line wearing sweatpants which aren't fully covering his butt, with his gut hanging out? Wearing a smug look of contempt upon his countenance? Yeah, that's a goon and I hate him.

No, that's a mirror

Oh, lel! No it's ur mom! LEL :D XD

I never paid anybody anything, this is basically only for the core members of the Goons, pretty sure the vast majority doesn't pay either.
Also, the superiority i was pointing out, is in the actual statistics, no alliance or coalition has ever held this much sov or has ever been this big.
They must be doing something right, cause they never would have been this big if they didn't.

WHUT YOO SAYIN ABOUT MUH!?


Ah dares y'all t'come ova here'n ree-peet them fitin' woids


*Cox Ma Shee-ought-gern*

While i do not agree with you, i must say, i do like your posting style.

Why would I pay tenbux to never post on a site that has nothing to do with EVE?
