Truth should be told as often as possible since wickedness runs faster.

It also makes our blobbing even more horrifying.

Your link to fox news does not help your argument Sir.


Oh, you're just trolling and not genuinely interested in the issue. Carry on, then.

I got two alts in Goonswarm, One in NC. and 1 in Solar Fleet. Your about as exclusive as a prostitute on pay day.

The reality of Eve is that, if you don't love it like it is today, you should probobly go ahead and unsub.

People like Chribba, while obviously extremely well known and liked person in the game, do not create as much buzz than people like Mittens and the goons in general. Speaking from the perspective of a former carebear (up to recently), the Burn Jita incident was one of the most fun events in the last 12 months or so. Going to null and saving Chribba's system once, while fun, didn't make that lasting impression.



Burn jita... boring **** of goons sitting around a HS station not careing as passive tech income = $$$$$$$ to throw ships away with?

Yep. Was alot of fun...

If you think that was fun you are ********.

Confirming it is possible to trick people into thinking they're having fun. Those silly newbies will NEVER realize that they're secretly miserable! ...this would be the point I would put that devil smile in, but man, I really can't stand that thing.

Guess again. I was out there with a week old alt shooting stuff and grabbing the contents of wrecks, and I've never mined for more than 15 minutes or so. The fun came from the whining of people like you two, the tears of people who lost expensive stuff because they were too dumb to realize what was going on.

Simply put, it was a nice change of pace with no shortage of stuff to blow up, ranging from goons to haulers and to people shooting goons. On top of that it was highly lucrative if you had even a slight understanding of how the market works during times like that. Guess we now know who didn't.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I don't like the pirate one either. They're both pretty much dumb as hell.

Good question and very "on topic". not kidding.



Once you think you have it all, you have actually become ignorant towards everything else.

If Goonswarm are a problem, which I don't believe they are, what are you proposing to do about it? Your OP has many words but little content.

LOL. I'm so sad at burn jita because they totally ganked me when I was basing out of Amarr.

The whole thing was because mittani was so ass hurt about being banned for a month. Which is silly because he got extremely lucky, Things like that deserve a permaban.

Again a well formulated argument


So how does this radiate outwards?

Because I was talking about retention but initially also about attracting, hence my previous comment.

I don't take any stand on why it happened, nor do I care about it to be honest. In my opinion Mittani deserved a ban, much longer than what he got too. He didn't, end of story as far as I'm concerned.

That still doesn't change the actual event, depending on how you approached it , there was lots of fun to be had. Same as all events ranging from stuff like the beforementioned Holy Veldspar fleet to save Chribba, the ice interdiction stuff etc etc. Goons are great at what they do, make content for a large portion of EVE's userbase, there's simply no one else who does it on such a large scale. And again, that doesn't take any stand on whether I like the goons or not, that is completely different thing.
