Well, my training wasn't very combat oriented so far ... I can fly a freighter but still can't fly a stealth bomber (but that will change in a few weeks Twisted). Recently I learned to pilot my first t2 (a frigate) but I can not "fly" it (properly) yet. But once I feel comfortable with what I can fly (and for PvP that's not necessarily a t2 ship), I fully intend to visit Low/Null to find some people help me improve my PvP skills - willing or not.

Nearly 3 times as many freighters+JFs were downed alone, with other pickups including a full officer HS mission boat and other bling nonsense. In every measurable way, it was several times "better" than last time.

I guess it wasn't enough to counteract your general lack of observational skills, however.

Till Thursday? Really?
That's not good.
Extending cool events like these far too long is the best way to kill them, see Hulkageddon.
In order to keep them fun and interesting they should maybe be held more often, but never longer than a few days, or they become boring for the ADHD web 2.0 generation.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Also said by no-name WH-dwellers who don't have the weight of the Goons behind them.

Dammit, the Goons are big and powerful - I want RAMPANT CHAOS in the Burn Jta events!

See above.

Last time, you guys turned Jita upside down. It was awesome.
This time, Meh.

My observation skills are just fine - I observed myself piloting a frieghter full to the brim with fuel blocks, and no one even looked at me. I observed a fail to even get a lock on my lol-fit frieghter hull when I returned. I'm no uber-pilot, just an average Joe, and I was flying a frieghter with a fit that was mediocre three years ago (can't be bothered to update - no reason, based on my loss-rate). I observed myself flying about in Jita space, and seeing exactly one unusual circumstance - which ended in a swift and uneventful Concordokken. I felt zero fear or excitement.

And yes, once I remembered there was a Burn Jita, I recalled reading about it right here... Posted by Goons - CCP has nothing to do with it, one way or another. But y'all failed to deliver, IMO. Over the course of the weekend, you managed to kill about one hour's worth of frieghter traffic. That's not an 'event.' That's a statistical blip.

You say 'better in every measurable way.' I say bull-hockey.

137 Dead Freighters

In 4 days?
That is 46 freighters and 3 Jump freighters per day. Approximately 2 kills per hour. I call that poor.




So, a kill every half hour.

And since the last kill means you have to sit in station for 15 minutes, that leaves 15 minutes to get about 30+ players in new ships, on the field, finding and ganking a new target.

You must be the worlds greatest cat herder if you think a turn out like this is "poor". Or we ganked your freighter and you are trying to make it seem like no big deal.

I *know* Goons can herd cats better than that. I've seen it.

How do you herd cats? By opening a can of tuna where you want them to be.
Next time, open the tuna.

Was 200 last I logged.

But yea, after insta-gibbing on the gate we all have to hustle back to station in our pods, wait out the GCC, re-ship, reform - scan down a target, get the bumpers on it - warp in 150+ Thrashers, hope no-one fires early - take down the target ...

Rinse, repeat.

We do this drunk FYI

What you know could fit on a post-it note. Trust me, there was plenty of 'tuna' or what ever analogy you want to use. We had guys under -2.5 bouncing celestials just for the chance to drop on the target at the last second.


15 minutes to get back into Jita (most people waited out gcc outside Jita to avoid TiDi dragging it out) through traffic control, get a new ship, dodge wardecs and kill rights to get on a perch, and then find/bump/warp-in and kill the next freighter.

This is insanity. You can't possibly believe what you're typing, or you're too stupid to realise it's nonsense.
So three times more freighters go down, which is nothing worth mentioning, but when 1/3 the number die, that's "turning Jita upside down"?

You need to actually sit down and work out what world that makes sense in.

Or.

Or.

I do notice you mention you're a WH dude, and the crowning jewel of illogical decisions was someone flying 20bil of WH loot into Jita.

Sir, I do propose you be mad at your loss.

It is actually fun for pretty much anyone not flying freighters or stupidly expensive ships. It might even be fun for them if they enjoy the excitement of trying to dodge us.

For every person here who says it was no big deal, there were a hundred people who were chasing us around to kill us when we went criminal, blapping us on undocks using kill rights, scooping up the billions of isk of loot we dropped and the loot in the ships we ganked, etc, etc, etc.



If Burn Jita was a non-event for you, you were doing it wrong.
