Most people who hate Goons hate them because they are told to hate them and sheep mentality takes over, simple as that.
In my experience, and I have fought for and against most major power blocs in my time, all Eve players are pretty much equal. The biggest difference I have found is whether you play for fun or as serious spaceships business. I prefer to play for fun, real life has too much serious business for it to prevale here too.

Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing.

Most don't don't give a crap about Goons or Test, so they try doing something controversial to make people notice them. Since the low hanging fruit is to be the bad guy, then they do that.

It's of no surprise how people who pick the hard way like Chribba, are more worth looking after than path-of-least-resistance goers.

As stated above!

I don't hate them* I just keep well out their way, I hope! Big smile

The fact that I can lose any of my ships to a 'Gank', 'Gate Camp' ,'Bomb Run' is what keeps the game fresh.

In the end it is the totally varied mix of players that makes EVE one of the most vibrant online games to play.

*Apart from Mittani's major faux pas at Fanfest a couple of years back, though he did apologies later!

Can't hate what is possible by design, but the effects of this "creation" is felt throughout the game.

They moon mine to afford to PvP with these blobs. The result is they can PvP almost endlessly, as they can buy PLEX like water. The result is PLEX prices just keep going up to the point this game has a cash shop. 2010 PLEX prices was 250mil average. It's almost 600mil now with no cap in sight. The result is everything top, down goes up in price.

I'd love to PvP, but in this game I'm not going to literally starve to death to afford playing (as I don't have moon goo to afford to PvP; and other revenue streams have higher risks). With all the BS about high-sec with the mining bumper idiots and those wanting to PvP in plexes, yeah, just kill the game already.

Don't tell me there's ISK here or there, when you can risk more than you can afford. Not everyone is on the moon goo tap, and getting 5 PLEXES a month to play (and act like the world is kosher, when it's rotting on the vine for others because of hyper-inflation).

Want to kill EvE that's how they're doing it, each moon goo drip at a time.

No it's...

Bad name.
Bad antics.
Bad forum presence.

No one needs to tell others about you, your reputation proceeds you.

That's how simple it truly is.

Why is it funny? We all come from a popular homosexual dating website.
In response to the person saying I was confused about The Mitanni. He's CEO because he is packing 14 inches and none of us can compete. A lot of us only go to fanfest because for people like me living in Europe it's the only chance of getting destroyed by that monster.

I think a lot of the haters in this thread belong to the Christian Right and hate us simply because we are a homosexual communist alliance.

1- not the worst I've ever seen
2- I find the antics funny and cheeky
3- I find the forum posts for the most part more thought out than a lot of other rable rousers around here.

If you take goons as seriously as they seem to take themselves it's all good Blink

You're playing the wrong game then. You're more at home here...

Then maybe EvE can resemble "The Right Stuff", not Long Dong Silver 2. Roll

The rising PLEX prices are mostly affected by new services to pay for with PLEX. And yes, the world is kosher because people give me 5 PLEX every month. If you were a more likeable fellow, you could have the same deal.

I don't bend over and take it for 5 PLEX a month, dear. If you think about it, you were robbed. Twisted

I find disliking a whole group, which is made up of individuals. to be a rather stupid thing to do.

Sure, I dislike some individuals, but that is true regardless of corp or alliance tag.

The whole "You are a goon, I dont like you before you even interact with me" is a bit bizarre.

I bend over & take it for free, the PLEX have nothing to do with that.

They joined goons, if you don't like that action then it's ok to not like goons. You're just repeating an empty platitude you may have seen at a popular social justice / cultural marxist forum.

You seem to have a lot of trouble understanding simple concepts. The free PLEX I get doesn't even come from the alliance.

Does it come from your parents?
