Market Discussions

I only have one question to you Goons.

Why do you kill independent real players in the Caldari ice belts. but leave the botting fleets with the freighters behind them alone?


Seriously, I just don't get it. If you want to destroy EVE as a game, you only need to keep on targeting normal players for long enough. There is the saying don't fly what you can't afford to lose, but let's get real here - most veterans many years ago stopped having any real risk at all in pvp, because the ship cost nothing, the implants cost nothing, and if you lose everything so what, plenty more in the hangar. The same does not go for new players, particularly miners in their first barge or their first ever exhumer. When you gank those people, you risk them quitting the game - I know it, I've seen it, and I miss my friends who walked out of EVE never to return. You may well say "good riddance plenty more" ... but that's the problem, there simply are not that many people interested in an old game where there are precious few powerblocks, where you can't fly the big ships for years, and newbie ships mean nothing in sov warfare. A thousand rifters really can't hurt a nyx.

So by all means go have fun, mess with ice prices. But come on ... use your brains. If someone is obviously new or a highsec carebear ... give them a pass. Gank the bots fleets ... unless, of course you approve of bots. I don't. But then again, if enough real players who like mining quit, we'll need bots or all the capitals in the game will be grounded.

Because strong pray on the weak?

Botters fly mackinaws and barely interact with the game.


"Real players" fly mackinaws and barely interact with the game.


We don't really have any way to tell ya'll apart.

"We don't really have any way to tell ya'll apart."

There this thing in the game called a "chat" window. It's how you can "interact with the game" and wouldn't you know with those "evil" miners as well.

Comparing goons to the catholic church , as an atheist i have to say i do like that comparisson .

I wish I had 10000 droids to make me isk and rl money.

I had already posted, in this thread, one of the other reasons for doing it. The mods deleted it in their cleanup. There is never one reason, or even two. You don't pivot even subsets of BLOCs without many.

There is a difference to my opinion between telling the full/some of the plan and telling there is a secret plan no one knows of.
The latest beeing stupuid and not market manipulative at all.

Not only my opinion i think, but you can keep spreading rumors that there are romurs. Be my guest.

I can drop subtle hints in a jabber channel and spike a market to hell and back in a day or two. You can do an awful lot with rumor.

Coco, this is the sign for power *clubsbabyminerstodeath
