If Goonswarm are the most hated alliance in EVE then why has no one decided to take them out yet?

because goons are exceptionally well established and exceptionally well organized. They have far and away the best infrastructure of any alliance in the game and they have a half a dozen bloc level fc's with years of experience. Also there's 20 thousand of them.

It takes a goon to kill the goonswarm?

Much maligned? Perhaps. But hated...?

Goons are the quintessential bad guys, the ones we love to hate. Without their asshattery Eve would be a poorer place.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

If Boat is so awesome why does he lose titans by jumping instead of bridging?

so why are you ranked 41 on battleclinic or is this all a bit meaningless as not all killmails are scraped.

Is a rank 41 on battleclinic some sort of great achievement?

They're like panto villians, you can both love and hate them at the same time.

Because everyone wants someone -else- to do it. Not them.

It would take :effort: and energy to try and do something like that.

So, instead of making the attempt, it's far easier to complain about something and wonder why someone else isn't do it.

I'll never really understand the hate that the Goons get... I suspect it has to do with envy and / or jealousy but I'm not certain.

What the Goons have accomplished anyone with dedication, time, and energy can accomplish.

But, most people don't have that.

I realize Battleclinic is tossed around quite a bit in the rookie channel and fed to newbies as the bible in the general eve help channel but it is a terrible site and killboard. It is spammy, laggy, anywhere you click on the screen is an ad and yes, they do not load kills correctly.

And their ranking system is trash, gate campers and station games get you #1 ranking lol!

We're really bad at this game, but at least our killboard is green.
