I hate them because they are the largest power block in eve, or were. It's the same reason everyone hates my country (USA). I hated BoB too, when they virtually vanished, became IT alliance and only held maybe a handful of systems, I stopped caring. Now they are just one of a multitude of alliances that I don't pay attention to. Wonder which alliance I'll hate next, can't imagine PL or SoT getting anywhere, they suck. Maybe xdeathx will take goon's place as the ultimate power to hate. They've always been goon lackeys anyways.
Death to xdeathx! -----------------------------------------------------

Everyone doesn't hate the US, and i'm sure the few who do have more complicated reasons than that.
Goons offer nothing but BS and griefing to any MMO they join, that's why people dislike them.

Do you recognise what the date is in these formats: 2010-02-01, 25/12/2009?
When you go to another country which uses the metric system, do you keep telling people that "metric is hard"?
When faced with the possibility that you might be wrong, do you resort to "I'm American!" as the trump card in any argument?
Don't worry, you're not the ugly american.
Is it bad that I've done these things quite frequently while being abroad? Is it worse that I'm not ashamed of it at all?

For a lot of people it's how they act in game that sets people against the goons.
All the things you DON'T say in real life, because they're rude, obnoxious, hateful, racist, sexist... you know, the things that would get the **** kicked out of you if you actually said them in RL? Well, goons say those things in game. Often. Over and over. In the most blunt and obnoxious way possible. Just because they can hide behind the anonymous face their character gives them.
And until you've been on Goon TS, and heard how they treat each other, how they treat their allies, and how they treat their enemies, how they treat everyone, you'll never understand. Until you've experienced it, they're just a name. Just a group of people you've not interacted with in game.
To the rest of us. They're the goons. Good riddance.

Goons spam the forums, they don't do anything special or different from anyone else in this game other than that.

Goons hacked the database, ran DDOS attacks on their opponents voice communications to win fights, lied and cheated as much as possible. They also, upon their formation, declared that their goal was to destroy the EVE community to such a degree that CCP lost enough customers that the game would die.
Besides those specific trespasses, the goons are just untrustworthy douchebags. I try to never judge someone IRL based on how they play a videogame but goons are legitimately bad people. The kind of people that dent your car door on purpose when they park next to you at the mall, or steal their neighbors paper in the morning.

Originally by: Usagi Toshiro I've been playing off and on for several years now and one thing that never changed was/is a general dislike of the Goon Alliance. I don't really follow in game politics, so I'd like to ask, what'd they do to earn the hate?
If you've ever met a Goon you'd understand the hate. They are some of the most vile people you'll ever meet. They didn't want that alliance anyways

This guy said it all, I've never heard anything intelligent come from a goon, and they've had a negative impact on this game/forum. _______________________________________ [a cool picture here] |

Goons were the Marmite of the eve universe, you either loved them or hated them, once you'd met a goon.
It is true you need to be an active member of SA, which costs $10 to join, for a period of time before you can apply to join goons, or you need to be a personal friend of an existing goon who will sponser your application. This made them a tight community with their own in jokes, and sense of humour.
I was fortunate to meet a few goons at Fanfest, as well members of IT Alliance, like a previous poster. However my impression is somewhat differnt, and they gained some respect for how they helped disabled friend, during fanfest.
They seemed like normal guys, there were a few that came across as arrogant ********s, but then the same can be said for other members of other alliances.
I believe that once BoB was destroyed, the goons had no more goals in game and that is why they imploded in thier own unique way, and by thier own hand, it doesnt suprise me that it happened in this way.
Expect the rise of Goons MKII in the next few months.

Tbh they were just a group of immature (never grew up) paranoid idiots, If you gather all the never do wells, bullied school kids and kids with grudges against authority then you would get a group not to dis-similar to the goons, When they first formed in Eve i kinda wished them well, but then meeting them in local while they were attacking D2 in dek' i experienced all of the above then i flew with them whilst in KIA and the TS was unusable and the gangs uncontrollable,
Why the North befriended them is beyond me - and at fanfest meeting them in person cemented my opinion of them, Eve is better off without them. Bottom feeders of humaity > goons

Because Goons & few allies kicked the crap out of everyone and won eve. That resulted in jealousy, envy, and their hurt little e-peen from loosing to newbie alliance that flies rifters.

So. CCP there you have it.
Wanna improve this game alot? Cancel all accounts with anybody who has been in a Goon Corp over one week.
Probably less than .05 % of PAYED accounts and would improve OUR game greatly.
We have enough trash ingame already...just BIOMASS every Goon.
KthnksBai......they really do SUCK!

Linkage At about 3:05 he says somethink like "if make a good post on forums, everbody in goons put you on red". I might have missundertsand it ... but alone for this everyone with half a brain MUST hat this guy.
As owner of a company, I would put a lot affort into blocking idiots like him.

1. the USA aren't the biggest power block in RL. They are just the most arogant block ;). 2. the USA are hated by most countrys, becouse they act like terorists. Anyone found the chemical weapons till now?? *ROFL*
US: "you don't share my oponions?" random poor guy: "no" US: "well, let me send you a present" ... *throw bombs"
There is NO other country, which have equal numbers of active wars all over the world where the USA are the invaders!
But hey :) prise god as god is with you and god will help you and god ... god ... god Anytime you see an american guy, he will at least use the word "god" a minimum of 20 times within 20 seconds ;). It's realy hard to belive, that you (random USA guy) isn't as fanatic as Osama bin Laden ... and most times noone can say, who is the real bad guy ... random USA guy or random suizid bomber.

I dislike them and all that are assosiated with them for their intent of ruining the game for as many people as possible. It's a crap way to go the way they did, but if it did have to happen they were the perfect group for IT to happen.

I like them as it seems people need someone to hate and they are good at being hated. In fact they enjoy it so all the haters are falling into their trap. Before them it was BOB and one day it will be someone else, its human nature. At least they are honest about their intentions and they certainly spice EVE up. Personally I would never trust anything they say but as I never listen to or rely on what they say that does not matter.
I do like the way they have day old alts screwing over carebear corps who are too lazy to spend a few minutes to find a way to solve their problem but are happy to moan and whine on the forums instead. Those are the players I despise more.
I suspect many who protest and cry the loudest about the Goons would be the first to miss them if they were not around.

Edited by: Scouteye on 04/02/2010 11:37:50 Edited by: Scouteye on 04/02/2010 11:35:27 Some people hate them because they named their stations after N.a.z.i concentration camps a few years bacl and would only rename them after petition. That kick started a lot of the hatred.
They did things like that all the time. Nameing stations after people who had died for the fun of it, not to honor them but to joke about it.
Some of the worse scammers in eve as well.
They where the first to try and delibretly crash a node to get sov and destroy POS's etc. Had people turning up in shuttles and pods just to get as many people in system as possible to break the game.
Also, check out the site they all originate from, somethingawful.com....
