Yes because theres so many players that use these dead forums.
You sure picked the right place to warn them.

Everyone wants to add their two cents in, and say "grr goons", but no one ever thinks to shut the Whole Thing Down by simply just not logging in. Or not going near Jita. Everyone feeds themselves into the meat grinder, knowingly, and then bitches about it.

Even better, log in and chat with the Goons, from inside a warm, toasty station.

For all you noobies.

Expect every goon destroyer you will see 3 rookie ships sitting there waiting to watch stuff burn and scoop up loot.

I wonder if we can possibly cram any more mobile tractor units into Jita...

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Show us on the rifter where the bad man interferred with your spacecraft's performance?
The reason some people don't care about these things is their cargo and ship are already insured and what could go wrong?

At worst it's a podding, but a savvy capsuleer has already prepared for this inevitability.

A Minmatar warship is like a rusting Beetle with 500 horsepower Cardillac engines in the rear, armour plating bolted to chassis and a M2 Browning stuck on top.

I've managed to miss the last few Burn Jitas. Guess I'm just unlucky...

Don't bother. The stocks in Jita are huge.

For those Alphas and Omegas new to the game, this is just to let you know about a time-honored Goon tradition that happens roughly every year around this time: The ganking of anything and everything in the Jita star system. "Burn Jita" typically runs for a weekend, starting late Friday and even extending until the wee hours on Monday. More often than not combat spills out to several outlying systems as well, with gankers preying upon ships stalled out at closed stargates to JIta.

To maximize on the level of suffering and 'lols', you can expect a minimum (if any) advance notice or leak of when in February this will occur. The only recourse is to basically avoid Jita as you will be facing hundreds and hundreds of players intent on your destruction - whether or not your ship or cargo is anything of value. The whole thing is basically one large Gong (or Goon) Show.



I appreciate your attempt to inform the Bads™ in game but guess what...they don't read the forums. They don't read EVE related websites. These players live in a bubble. They won't know about a Burn Jita event until their charon is a smoking wreck in Sivala. The very players you seek to warn do not like you, me nor anybody else that wants to interact with them.

True story, I was flying through Uedama. I saw a macherial sitting on the gate and thought, whoops he is looking for somebody to bump. As I jumped into Juunigaishi I saw a freighter warp in. I thought, "I'll let him know a bumping mach is sitting there..." So I convoy him. Next thing I know the little shitstain has blocked me. I thought, "Really?" I hope that little shitstain had his freighter blown up and that the cargo went to buying CODE. or whomever more gank ships. I have no sympathy for these mindless drones who play the game and do not pay attention to what is going on around them. None. In fact, I hope to join in on the next Burn Jita event and burn down as many freighters as I can.

TL;DR people are dumb.


Yup, and I delight in killing them. These players are terrible and deserve what they get, IMO. Kill them. Kill them all as many times as you can.

Is it really rewarding to know that your victims are terrible? For me it cheapens the win.
Having 'awesome' players as victims one the other hand makes winner look even better.

The goons are still in the game?

Oh well, I suppose Burn Jita is a good a mechanic to say, 'look at us, we are important' as any other.

This is not a signature.

Can you Goonies stop talking about it and get on with it, we are getting bored waiting for what is likely to be yet another damp squib... Roll

When the going gets tough the Gankers get their CSM rep to change mechanics in their favour.
