Case in point: Band of Brothers (BoB)
Some time ago, there use to be a powerbloc that controlled much of Eve Online known as BoB. They were to the Goons as a government was to anarchists. BoB and Goons were the two most opposing forces at the time. Although I think the Goons use to operate under a different name before they were known as Goons. Can a Goonie please confirm?
Anyways, BoB wanted order and control over New Eden and its free market economy. Goons felt differently. They wanted chaos to be thrown into the mix. Overtime, one battle after another and one mismanagement after another on the part of BoB, the Goons won and BoB was no more.
Goons still like to invoke chaos even though they control the economy now. But eventually the Goons will be overthrown by another challenger who is willing to take them on for control of the free market economy.
Power changes hands every now and then regardless of who is in charge and how they became in charge.
That is a fact of life in New Eden that even the Goons themselves acknowledge.
The history runs a tad diff from that
more like Goons were part of Bob then weren't..then infiltrated Bob via a Bob defection at Director/Alliance key man level. Goons said 'now' and the plug was pulled on Bob who fell apart like the house of cards...after that it was an exercise of Goons mopping up Bobs with the very ships they aquired from Bob via the defect...
Someone correct me if I've botched that. Fill in the gaps if needed... |

You'd need to think as Machiavelli did, the ends justify the means. Lie, cheat, steal, betray, harass, and metagame to an appropriate degree and you'd be able to destroy the goons completely. It is only when we become the enemy can we defeat the enemy. Fact is i think the only people who care THAT much are the ones whining about thier Sandy-box (sandy vagina) I think people care that have the military capabilities, they're just cowards in regards to political fall out and taking a risk. But yes, high sec people, the majority of subscribers, the one's most pissed about goons and their economic warfare and harassment against them, are the vocal group about this. If a few thousand ships went up against a goon fleet, it wouldn't matter if they were mission fit or not. 10,000 pieces of ammo flying at a ship is 10,000 pieces of ammo regardless of whether you pvp or pve.
I'm hisec. Some low. No nil. I'm a kid in a over 50 year old body with a bad ticker. Sudden booms tend to toggle the ticker a bit but everyone needs a good diaper filler from time to time. I mine. I build ships. I fly around and smack talk with people who spent 4 years in 3rd grade. Who gives an obese rodent's butt? No one here. Not me. Not my darling wife who plays as well.
Goons provide a lot to the game
They provide drama and comedy....they provide a chance for people like me to look inside the minds of people like them. A hobby of mine. I follow them in their own blogs and tweets just to see what goofy things this new generation of children has come up with next that they can call 'cool'.
They serve a purpose.
I do admire what they've done in the past but being a student of trends....I find them trending towards becoming Bob all over again. Hopefully Mittens will turn them away from that state of mind.
To get to the point...finally...hisec folks don't really care about what politics goes on in nulsec...we know politics makes for strange bedfellows and Eve is no stranger to strange. Mittens will put on his show, the Goons will wave epeckers around, all will slap each other on the back. Then HGeddon V will start and idiots who can't read will die thus making it much easier for me to sell exhumers and Thorax's both of which I've been hoarding waiting for Helicity to get off his dead arse and get going again. Goons profit on the market...Carebears profit on the ships...and the whiners who can't be arsed to build a ship or mine for an hour but who want to be rich will continue to write garbage in forums and then go back to EverPatch and WoW where they came from. Love your Goons...they bring you comedy, drama and profit all rolled up into one little package of adorable cuddly podstuff. GÖ½ GÖÑ GÖ½ |

Nope...most of my statement is from watching and listening to older and more recent statement from Mittens on the history of GS from it's founding and it's rise via the spy net and the open armed movement to accept noobs instead of the close minded big ship based strength of Bobs. Numbers over know how....
I see the spirit of that dwindling. Then again I am an outsider which makes it only an opinion and not a historical footnote. |

You have two choices here, and the Goons have can NOT decide for you which one to take:
1. Deal with them and continue your standard routine. Accept possible consequences.
2. Move away from goon territory/target areas.
Noone has to go to Jita. No one has to mine when there is a planned, very public event occurring that endangers them.
If you don't want any outside influence in your game, why are you playing an MMO? Educate, adapt and all will be well... oh yeah, and HTFU.

so the Nocxium exploit wasn't really an exploit it was just called an exploit for political chaff? |
