I think The Marmite Collective PVP Alliance will find that fighting an organized fleet is quite a bit different than camping an undock looking for war targets. I will refer you to the poor souls last year who thought the same, I cant even remember their name, I think they disbanded shortly afterwards.

I think it was TEARS? I don't know. We also camped in Noir. and other "highsec pvp"

I doubt we had anything to do with it.

If it does actually happen, it will be the exact same failure as the first one, for the exact same reasons.

That of course won't stop the goons trying to make the most of it, but some people will never learn.

Queue grandious statements about imagined success with the occasional bombastic comments from the titanni.

As for the rest, business as usual.

In other words, your definition of "failure" is terrible and wrong. Gotcha.

Well, my definition of success, requires success, which burn Jita 1.0 did not have. Couple of goons running around, killed a few indys and otherwise hid from their WT's or else ran crying to the GM's as soon as they got caught.

Thats pretty much fail.

Have to admit it's a fun thought, though.

Even the most dedicated PvEr, that's totally into trading, has to have a dark, dark, dark thought of burning Jita down. Twisted

1) It wasn't "a couple of goons"
2) They didn't "hide from WTs", in fact last I checked "the WTs" got pistolwhipped multiple times until they ran crying to momma.
3) It wasn't "a couple of indys".

You can't actually burn Jita down. It's a fun fantasy (I'd love seeing it burn from 10 jumps away even).

How the game is setup you can try to blow up targets in and outside, but in the end folks will be trading as usual.

And those who do actually trade full time in Jita have so much capital, than losing freighters a day won't make a dent in their wallet.

As Goons understand well when fed off of Tech.

A cost of a titan going down spread across every rich trader in the game.

Pennies, dear, pennies.

The traders will go back to flipping and scheming right after...and probably make a profit in the end.

The game has gotten to be like many F2P games: cash fat and players are bored as they conquered the territory, and have little else to show for it.

Wise players will just switch to alts to play and park their big ships anyway. So any damage or scare factor is moot. I see many here play Minecraft on the side, so while your blob is searching for targets, others will playing other games and building capital elsewhere, too.

You can't make folks miserable unless they want to be miserable. After 5 years, folks get tired of the same song and dance (not really innovative or emergent even...same plot; same actors; same show). It's like watching a replay of "The Days of our Lives" and this time maybe in color.

On the off chance that this little "Remember us? We're still somehow relevant" event is actually legit, I still can't be bothered to go and check it out.

After watching as the cloud of red squares (that would be the little bees, fyi) disappeared whenever a blue square got near 4/4 last time, I don't think my poor heart could take the drama. I see enough docking games elsewhere. Making a special trip to watch one in Jita is seriously lame. Even the smack in local sucked last time.

Why come all the way in from NPC 0.0 just see a second rate show of what goes on daily outside my station?
