I really dont get what you people are arguing about so much.

Goons succeeded in destroying lots of stuff, that seems to have been the point, looks like they succeeded in doing that. surely it wasnt "efficient" but I KNOW that wasnt the point.

They didnt "shut down eve" but I dont think that was really the point, despite something about "stabbing the heart of eve". but comon, thats clearly a bit of hyperbole. no matter what you think, fact remains they did blow up a bunch of stuff. (i know, in terms of all of eve, its small).

goons win, everyone else didnt lose, except for a handful (considering the size of eve's playerbase) of morons who said "burn who?" before going POP. In retrospect, considering the free advertising eve got we all win a bit because more people might come join the party. (hopefully not under the goon banner but meh...)

whatever, applaud goons for killing some stuff, or damn them for doing it, either way what is the argument? stuff blowed up, life goes on.

Forgot earlier. "Number four is a bit of sensationalism" would be correct. Smile or "a bit sensationalistic".

I would say that everyone involved (Care Bear, Goon, and CCP) got something good out of it.

Care Bear: Commerce adapted and continued, even though an important trade hub was put under stress. Many who don't often participate in the combat aspects of the game, at least not on any kind of large scale, were able to get a taste of it.

Goon: You showed it could be done with impunity, repeatedly if you desire. It's affects were felt, and you were the center of attention both in and out of game.

CCP: Tons of good publicity, an excellent stress test of hardware and game balance/design. The attack was able to be done AND the target system (and general economy) while noticeably affected was able to adapt and still function.

No matter what side of things you are on, this situation was a win for everyone involved.

It's also a win because we can see which of the shitheels will brag about their isk efficiency gained from whoring CONCORD killmails:

This was awesome. Tons of fun for all involved and great publicity for CCP. This should be a monthly event imo.

Good work to everyone who showed up and made this one of the best pieces of player created content ever.Big smile

Boring Jita had no appreciable effect on the EVE economy. There's so many trillions of ISK passing through Jita daily that blowing up a few billion ISK doesn't matter.

If Goons really wanted to have an effect, they'd have to completely lock down Jita + 1 other trade hub for an entire month. But they'll never do that (consider this my open challenge to them to do so) because they care more about their ISK than they want us to think they do with their Internet Tuff Gaiz image.

From a personal standpoint, it was:
Destroy an arbitrary number of ships in Jita and get filthy rich from the suicide reimbursement. Joe Goon is actually turning a profit from murdering you and dying to CONCORD.

This was Burn Jita. And their official board.

Any ships caught at a gate due to traffic control are lucky accidents.

Am I sensing TEARS ?


Goon Tears = Best Tears

This is quite hilarious...

And again the child expects to be taken seriously. When are they introducing an age limit for the game ?
