So what is wrong in highsec that isn't in the process of being fixed already? What are the injustices that high-sec people need to rally around? Ganking? It's part of the game. Scamming? Also part of the game.

The simple matter is that if the majority of high-sec had all their wishes granted, EVE Online as we know it, as we all like it, would cease to exist.


Spoken like one of the zealot minority I just described.
The zealot minority knows better than the majority of players, right?

Love that phrase " EVE Online as we know it, as we all like it".
Who is this "we all" you describe?

Seems to me that the game as YOU know and love is NOT the game that AT LEAST SOME, more likely MOST, do not love.


So why don't you answer the question. It was asked in earnest. What are the hardships that High-sec dwellers have to deal with while the CSM raids their ghettos and sends the pubbies off to the camps?

I do not think that any special will happen. The local will spike, TiDi to the max, jita goes slideshow, traffic will be jammed, gates locked and then the jitanode dies.. restarts with new maxPopulationSettings.

Everyone weeds through the spam in local to see if anything interesting or funny is said. Lag grows. Game starts to resemble a filmstrip. Node crashes. Lather-Rinse-Repeat. Apathy kicks in. Everyone leaves.

I fail to see why strategic planning is necessary.

On the 27th pull out any ship you have there, unless you want to try to follow in local for grins. At any rate, don't undock anything on the 28th. If the only thing flying are Goon ships, they're gonna have a helluva time staring at each other, wondering why Mitt said this was such a great idea. Mitt, the mighty leader....burn Jita. Yeah, right.

The funny part will be with no targets, the Goons complaining in local...while their complaints are scrolled out of chat by Jita spam bots. They won't even be able to smack talk.


I don't think thats gonna happen. I'll be there though, checking it out.

I for one think the "burn jita" idea is funny and needs to be supported. Since a T1 industrial costs below 1M, I will be hanging out there and circle with hoarders full with militants, janitors or tourists around Jita 4/4. Looking forward to some cool fireworks.

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.

There will always be idiots in EvE and there is nothing you can do about it. Goonswarm will have targets, no doubt about that.

Yea, wonder how many people know about this Jita burn stuff and how many live in ignorance.

Whatever happens, this burn-jita thing promises to be fun and interesting! Big smile (...if they really do it...hope so...)
I'm gonna try to do like the Native Americans and "count coup" (it was considered more of an achievement to touch your "enemy" rather than injure or kill him outright). So I'll take a screenshot at the moment I bump someone (just for me...nobody else is gonna care about unprovable pics)...if I can get close enough before my trusty ships get turned into sparkly spacedust. Big smile So if you guys see some idiot hurtling towards you jinking and weaving at high speed...it might be me...hmm...is it even possible?...oh, well...woohoo! Yay, goons, for shaking it up, regardless!

I have 150 Badgers built to act as Goon targets...
With the express goal of turning said Goons into CONCORD targets...
I hope someone is around to watch it, cause I dare say I'll be waking up in a clone vat, a lot....

All we need is 10-15 people with the same idea and those 1800 Tornadoes will pop themselves...
And then we can all go back to normal...

Until more Goons turn up...


There is no such thing as a fair fight...

If your fighting fair you have automatically put yourself at a disadvantage.
