Rubicon is a really bad name for an expansion

The Rubicon was a river in Italy. Only in the last 20 years do scholars believe that they have identified the actual river that once bore this name. A small heavily polluted stream that barely flows anymore and certainly does not flow where Caesar crossed it.

The river that previously was Identified as the Rubicon was so named because of a scam some 500 years ago. Some persons placed a sign near the river saying no armies past this point and this was considered as sufficient evidence although the sign was 1500 years too young. (worse than editing the wiki)

The moment of the crossing of the rubicon was the beginning of the military dictatorship in Rome. Which one could consider a clear indication on behalf of CCP that Mittens will be moving his capital to Jita. The Pax Goonis is about to commence.

Srsly.

Original, but in line with the other threads in this pearl of a forum.

- I think my passion is misinterpreted as anger sometimes. And I don't think people are ready for the message that I'm delivering, and delivering with a sense of violent love.

That would be like implying CCP haven't been pandering to PLEX consumers like goons/etc for years already.

Highsec needs to be changed fundamentally in order to push it toward a more dynamic and intuitive environment sure, Rubicon is guaranteeing that somewhat but why make highsec -> lowseclite when lowsec itself deserves more attention.

parvi Rubiconis ad undas

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

These "Grrr Goons" threads are certainly becoming more eloquent.

So, you are cross about the Rubicon?

It's just a really bad expansion full stop. Addresses nothing that needs to be. It's just some extra goodies. Yet another useless upgrade

All my views are my own - never be afraid to post with your main, unless you're going to post some dumb shit

I thought the name Rubicon was trademarked - which means it cannot be used without the owners written permission

I am aware of my own ignorance and have checked my emotional quotient - thanks for asking

Personally, i love it. Rubicon is assoiated with doing something which will have very important results. As in, "Time to cross the Rubicon, my brothers!"

What i don't love though, is still a lack of POS fixes....... Sad

Maybe these new personal structures will make the difference though, who knows!

Post with your main, like a BOSS!

And no, i don't live in highsec.  As if that would make your opinion any less wrong.
