Staying out of the event =/= supporting it

I'm not a fan of this event and I'm as carebear as they come. But I don't think this even was sponsored by CCP in any way, shape, or form; at least, I think it wasn't.

I want to know why CCP feels that even thought I pay my $15/mo just like the members of the GF they can do whatever they want, and I cannot. (Example: Going to Jita when GF feels I shouldn't.)


The bigger question is why shouldn't they be allowed to. Jita isn't anything super special, it is just a main trade hub. There are tons of other places to do business and this is only effective while they have ships, and not sustainable. Took lots of isk and prep to pull it off. You can do what you want, just remember it is a sandbox, so you need to fly appropriately. WIth risk comes reward. Playing the solo game, gotta play it solo style.

HTFU, GTFO, or STFU and play the game. There you go, three choices, enjoy the sandbox.

A birdie told me that some CCP employees have to pull extra shifts to deal with petitions. But then I go to eve-o forums and I read that there was absolutely nothing happening and so I can go to bed calm and without a bad conscience.

People whine when there are no in-game events. Ever notice that all MMOs have a disclaimer that content may change?

Burn Jita was announced a long time.

If you don't have the common sense to avoid Jita and surroundings you deserve to get your ship popped from under you.
You want to limit your gameplay to Jita and surroundings, fine. Then also accept the consequences.

We will use the other 7500+ systems to play in.

And one of them even made a (humorous) tweet about not wanting that weekend anyway ~

Hope they get some rest after Jita stops burning or whatever state it is in now. Must've been a lot of work.

I'm hugely invested in hi-sec operations, but.... technically, Goon isn't doing anything that is not allowed. It's up to the universe as constructed, and those of us in it to adapt. If we can. Before you get too upset with ccp here, think what is being learned about the game dynamics. If I were at ccp, the last thing on earth i'd do at this moment would be to try to micro-manage this event without first seeing what impact it will have. Goon isn't the only thing going on here. There are plenty of people, including care-bears who are looking for ways to exploit this. Nothing happens in a vaccuum. I suspect the outcome is going to do more to confound it's architects than gratify them.

They do it because CCP turns a blind eye as per normal to them. It would be nice to know how many devs have a Goon alt account !!!

For you all telling people Eve is a sandbox and live with it you have a very short memory ...


CCP Does get invloved ........ for example ..

M0o in low sec and empire .... you end up with gate guns....

Tank CEO with a Scorpion with 99% resistance ..... you end up with concord and staking pentalties.

The Privateers and War Decs .................... War Dec system nerfed.


They pay attention when only they want too and let a special few do whatever they want .... i.e. someones Fanfest speech and
something about killing someone.

Say no more. But maybe a sandbox should be just that and not biased.

How is "the sandbox is not biased against Goons" even remotely equivalent to "it's only fair if the sandbox is biased against Goons."

At least, that's what I think you're trying to say through all your .... .. .. . . . . . . . .. . DOT DOOTODOTODOTs.

(Anyone else hear Rainman's voice when reading Max Khaos's post? Just sayin'.)

There is no difference from M0o sitting at a gate and Tank CEo sitting in high sec killing people.

They got nerfed ... enough said .. learn some Eve History ..

As I said .. Biased ....

Not just that, but its the main trade hub because of players, not because CCP said so. Can't even use Stormwind as an analogy like alot of people do.

That's is a perfect encapsulation of the highsec miners' idea of a "sandbox."

In all fairness, having to F5 the forums everyday should not be a requirement. I know it pains most of you, but a good portion of the players believe that to play the game is to start the client and well... play the game. Not F5 forums all day everyday and then maybe log in once in a while.

I am not saying the Jita thing is bad or Hulkaggedon; just trying to explain to you that hanging out on the forums should not be a requirement to the game.

I would say most of us browse while playing, but the EVE forums don't work right in the IGB >.<

The Jita thing has not only been discussed on the forums, but on other sites and in numerous in-game chat channels. I'm willing to bet that most of our victims so far have been aware of what we were doing, but either thought that we were only blowing smoke, or that CCP would step in to lessen our impact - I don't know. Anybody who is using ignorance as an excuse after more than a month of this event being discussed publicly needs to stop living in a cave.

CCP support it because any press for the game is good press.

Also, they know it has absolutely no effect on the game whatsoever.

Eve might be a sandbox but you can stand in the middle and touch the walls on all sides. There's really not much anyone can do to break CCP's rat lab.

I did end up flying by Jita to have a quick look. After podding a couple of goons - and sending one of my alts to hell - I became bored and left.
