I can't imagine too many people care about who controls null as long as they can afford ships and modules. I'd rather Goons own it all out there rather than some group of pretentious d-bags.

No, that was CCP's cash register announcing the double profit they made by getting more money than they otherwise would and saving money by not having to give anything in return.


Good, they need it to offset their declining subscriber base.

You forgot about wormholes.

Anyway, worst that would happen is, they would get bored...


To agree with you, the null sec players already seem to be bored, they have "blued" each other and keep calling for soft high sec dwellers to come out and be slaughtered for their amusement. Roll

CCP - Building ant hills and magnifying glasses for fat kids

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

What are you talking about? The sandbox is already withered and dead from stagnation, so are you asking where we go from here? Pesonally, I've already unsubbed and am just spending isk on PLEX to complain about it on the forums in the vain hope that CCP will correct things before Eve completely dries up and blows away. Not really expecting this to happen though.


Well, this is sad news for me, I am a fairly young player of Eve (my main is only about 15 months old), I want to participate in the "end game" of eve (I know, no real endgame to a sandbox, blah, blah, blah) though I refuse to do it as a pet. There needs to be some way for those of us who aren't completely jaded to have some upward mobility as far as null is concerned or else the influx of new players will eventually cease, which I highly doubt is something CCP wants.

If something doesn't change, it will get to a point where there may be 35-50k characters logged in, but they will be the same 10-15k players with all of their multiboxed alts.

It isn't CCP that is killing Eve, it is the elitist neckbeards in the playerbase

Devour to survive, so it is, so it's always been Eve is a great game if you can get past all of the asshats....

Give wormhole-life a try.

They're what zerosec should have been.

Not quite. The only people who care about wormholes are anti-social roleplayer types who can't hack fleet combat.

Surely the great Lady Spank is capable of better trolling than this...

Besides, in Goon fleets it's the FC who gets called derogatory names.

Goons are unstoppable and will soon own all nullsec.

Reminds me of the one time the Russians were unstoppable and were going to control all of Eve

Oh, and the time when the Northern Coalition was unkillable due to their numbers and were ruining the game.

Which reminds me of when IT was an unstoppable steamroller that couldn't lose.

You get the point.

You left out the DRF and the CFC joining forces to create the DCF and taking over all of nullsec.

In fairness to Goons, EVE won't be "owned by Goons". Ever.

Goons would if left to EVE, create thier own opposition in the spirit of PvP. Hopefully they can subsidize it on the CC level though because if they insist on running everyone else off, they might have to.

I love how now apparantly the CSM is a Goon/Test/PL council of shadowy puppetmasters manipulating the game to suit themselves. The reason the CSM was set up in the first place was for player oversight of CCP after the T20 incident where a CCP employee was found doing favours for Band of Brothers, who were the dominant nullsec power at the time. Back then, every thread like this was about them.

Also it'd be nice if TEST even had any CSM members, they keep leaving as soon as they're elected.

Goons? They're just people that:

a) When they do something 'naughty' to you, tell you to chill out and stop being so an@l.
b) When they're at the receiving end of something 'naughty', whine like toddlers.

They're the wannabe hotheads that gatecrash a party and within 15 mins get thrown over the fence.
