Not the newbees. Aww poor newbee, did the evil people in the rookie systems tell you how bad you were when your app got approved?

Don't worry, it's all true and you'll LOVE IT TO DEATH.

Wait, so you mean we have a bad reputation in Eve? Well holy ****, we need to get on that, stat. Thanks for the heads up.



No, I mean Goonswarm is giving eve a bad reputation with potential new players.


Huh. Guess it's time to finally gather the vast number of players who hate us into a giant alliance, fly up to VFK and finally drive us out of the game for good, eh?

Don't worry about wardec mechanics, we're in nullsec, you can shoot whoever you like. Concord doesn't babysit us out here. Should be a short and easy war for you.

That's VFK-IV folks, our staging system. Open and ready any time you've finally had enough of us and decide to actually handle it in-game instead of just whining and bitching to CCP on the forums to ban us for actually playing the game, but in a way you don't like.

We mostly shield tank, so gear up to take advantage of that. Best time to attack is probably EU time zone, since we have somewhat less people on during that time.


oh what? forget the millions of supercaps and titans

so "come at me bro" doesnt work so its "come at me bro, in 0.0" now?

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.

Well the obvious point is that you should be posting on those game forums instead of crying here.

This thread is a comedy of errors.

It is a quite interesting look into the minds of players of MMORPGS when many players belive their virtual world is being turned upside down--in their own mind.

It is a quite interesting idea to look into the minds of players that laugh at players that take a game too serious.

It is a quite interesting idea to look into the minds of players that do not give a ****.

It is a quite interesting idea to look into the minds of players that care about this game.

It is a quite interesting idea to look into the minds of players.

Quite an interesting topic of study.

Considering the fire hose of new players trying to join goonswarm, it is obvious that you have no clue what you are talking about. At this point, I figure you are an alt of ours out to troll dumb pubbies and I salute you as such.

Because frankly, nobody else could be this dumb.



Um, I might point out that every time an alliance is on top they have a firehose of applicants. Why? Because people are lazy and success takes effort.

Or they're alts of your enemies trying to get in to attempt to stab you in the ass. This is eve, after all.


Which is why I laugh at you because you don't get goons. You have not the faintest clue what we are about.

Can't do all the work for you. Get your own caps and supercaps.

And yeah, come at us. You want us gone, you're all just NPCs to us anyway, you can do whatever you like, but if you all hate goons their antics so much, yeah, come at us in 0.0. We have no reason to come to you. Stop being lazy.

You mean psychopaths, right? And to take a leaf from a well known poster, it means you're like that in reality too.

You may disagree or agree. One thing is certain: You will continue to play.

When the real world puts pressures and expectations on you with respect to this world, this is your escape or at least a place to waste your time.

Where shall you go? There is no place you can run. There is no place you can hide.



Sorry, I've found eve players running to both ToR and WoT and most of them like it better there than they do here. Mind you, it's the carebears to TOR and the PvPers to WoT, but... yeah, sorry, EvE ain't smack, and even if it was, I can get my fix elsewhere.


You forgot Mechwarrior online where the Goons themselves are going.

I hear that if you play Eve, you're literally not allowed to play any other games at all.

This post was crafted by a member of the GoonSwarm Federation Economic Cabal, the foremost authority on Eve: Online economics and gameplay.

I did forget. Death becomes me.

Also,

What do the developers think of the players that play. When I type that, I do mean, with no disrespect: How do they see the players of this game?

Moreso, What do the developers and support staff think of the players?

Granted, many players do come off as ... well. We play this game. We know.
