IGÇÖm a bit surprised I couldnGÇÖt find a thank you thread for Burn Jita 2.
I really had fun this weekend.
When Burn Jita was announced I didnGÇÖt know what to expect. I read some posts about last yearGÇÖs Burn Jita event but wasnGÇÖt there to experience it myself (I started playing EvE after last yearGÇÖs event).
So in preparation I decided to make my last hauler trip to Jita at least 2 days before the announced starting date (they said Burn Jita would start on Friday, but considering what I learned from playing EvE I fully expected to see the first hauler kills happen on Thursday ). Then I bought a cheap t1 frigate (Executioner), put some cheap mods on it (guns, dual sensor booster and some other stuff GÇô total price was below 1M ISK including rigs) and undocked to find some trouble.
And I learned a LOT.
For example that I need to prepare new PvP overview settings for large fights to make it easier to target a specific ship type. Or how fast some people lock on GÇô with my setup my signature resolution was at 2.6k and it helped, but some people beat me with ease, it seemed. Or why it is a good idea to keep some range (at least 6km) to those smartbombing BS GÇô one of them almost got me GǪ put me into structure before I made my getaway. Or how long it takes for Concord to show up (5-6 sec in 1.0, correct?); and much else.
And on top of it I had the opportunity to get on some killmails courtesy of Goons and friends (tbh only one of the kills was an GÇ£honestGÇ¥ 2 on 1, most of the others involved Concord or a larger number of other players GÇô but it looks good on first glance, doesnGÇÖt it? ).
So, thank you very much for Burn Jita 2
TL;DR: I had a blast, thanks.

Just getting started actually! I'm not entirely clear on the point of this, but I do have a sudden urge to jump in a catalyst and blow up a miner. Twitter! - @AzamiNevinyrall I'm half expecting a ban for this post. |

Disapointed, so far.
My empty frieghter almost go scanned once. And I saw a buncha reds get detonated when they warped right smack into the middle of a monster concetration of Concord - It was like flashbulbs popping.
Oh, and someone tried to lock up my Vigil at one point - after I was already 50km from them and moving away fast.
Not terribly impressed. Moer action, pls! Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Not a good showing.

In 4 days? That is 46 freighters and 3 Jump freighters per day. Approximately 2 kills per hour. I call that poor.

You are absolutely right -
Been playing a great game for 10 years. Empires were growing, things were interesting. You actually had to think. It was a place I could find an intelligent base of people to play with
Now we have things like Burn Jita.
Some people think its fun - but then again, it does not take much to excite kids these days. Personally, I think it is lame as all fu@k.
Kind of like working for a great company that set high entry standards, and then realize they have been hiring people with no experience or education for the past year.
It just make it hard to believe the BS they put out about how amazing and dynamic EVE is. |

Well, my training wasn't very combat oriented so far ... I can fly a freighter but still can't fly a stealth bomber (but that will change in a few weeks ). Recently I learned to pilot my first t2 (a frigate) but I can not "fly" it (properly) yet. But once I feel comfortable with what I can fly (and for PvP that's not necessarily a t2 ship), I fully intend to visit Low/Null to find some people help me improve my PvP skills - willing or not. |

Then I thought back over the weekend and went "Oh. Right." Burn Jita? Damp match. Nearly 3 times as many freighters+JFs were downed alone, with other pickups including a full officer HS mission boat and other bling nonsense. In every measurable way, it was several times "better" than last time.
I guess it wasn't enough to counteract your general lack of observational skills, however.

Till Thursday? Really? That's not good. Extending cool events like these far too long is the best way to kill them, see Hulkageddon. In order to keep them fun and interesting they should maybe be held more often, but never longer than a few days, or they become boring for the ADHD web 2.0 generation.
Just think of how bad an average post by me is, and then realize half of them are even worse |

So, a kill every half hour.
And since the last kill means you have to sit in station for 15 minutes, that leaves 15 minutes to get about 30+ players in new ships, on the field, finding and ganking a new target.
You must be the worlds greatest cat herder if you think a turn out like this is "poor". Or we ganked your freighter and you are trying to make it seem like no big deal. |

I *know* Goons can herd cats better than that. I've seen it.
How do you herd cats? By opening a can of tuna where you want them to be. Next time, open the tuna.
