Trading is not personal. Bigger entities are not as nimble as smaller ones. So there is no reason to hate them or feel helpless. The thing to do is to front run them and that is what I intend to do. There should be supernormal profits in this endeavor and that is what I want to try.


Broaden your perspective. It's not just about you or me, but about the game in the long term. Today you make a profit, tomorrow you get a permanently manipulated economy in the hands of 2-3 mega-overlords.


I'm flattered you think so highly of myself & my associates. Unfortunately for the dystopian future you seem to like to imagine to excuse away your helplessness, we're generally too lazy to "permanently manipulate" the economy.


This is absolutely true. And so there is a chink in the armor of the "overlords."

Now now. Being too lazy to actively & permanently manipulate the economy does not preclude ****ing up things that try to challenge us.

Don't try to diminish yourself, you are one of the most powerful players in this game and know it.

The fact you (allegedly and only on your part) say you are "too lazy to do XYZ" does not mean it's OK. Edit: this also covers "helplessness": I don't want to long term adversely affect EvE for my / my "group" self interest. I want EvE 2024 to be as free and competitive as it's now.

Somebody else one day could be less lazy than you and go all out to stretch his position of power to the extreme.

You too should broaden your picture and think about those next guys (possibly other Goons but it does not matter) who could one day be in a similar position of power and be less nice than you are.

In addition to the above, another of my unwritten answers is heavily hinted by the rewards the new "Recall" program is giving to those who resume their old... ehm friends' old subs.

I would like to confirm our laziness. It is only things too hilarious in ISK or tears we don't pass up. Or just when we want to smug and be all Machiavellian. Happens more often than you would think.
