I'm pretty sure that if it got to the point where CCP was saying 'Our paychecks are in danger!', that some 'things' would happen to ensure a happy high-sec population.

Welp, now that Hulkageddon is on and the 'official' part of Burn Jita is apparently over, the results from the EVE Kill board are a bit interesting.

Of the ships that are use for major transportation of goods, there were destroyed:

25 Freighters
9 Jump Freighters
1 Orca

That's IT for major cargoholds that actually haul a descent amount worth halting from trading.

Remaining are:

272 T1 Industrial class
87 T2 Transport (smallest cargoholds of these classes)

That's a grand total of 394 trade ships with only 35 of them being major ships.

I hardly think that broke our economy, especially if you follow CCP Diagoras and the scale of numbers in EVE, which are astonishingly LARGE. This is powdered toast comparatively.

The other 9200 losses are combat ships not used for major trade hauling anyway, mainly BC's and Destroyers. More than 1/4 are Capsules.

The really amusing thing is the event is a much damper squib than your numbers imply. You are citing a killboard that gives all the kills in Jita for the WHOLE MONTH OF APRIL

The total number of ships killed is actually only 10-20% of the number you are giving.

Here is the CFC's own campaign KB for Burn Jita:

CFC KB

26 Freighters
10 Jump Freighters
57 Industrial Ships
8 Transport Ships

If any other corp were to camp Jita theyd likely get the same numbers your point?

Know what the funniest thing about this is? I bet this was all preplanned in advance (the Gions have been screaming at anyone that said this was just tears for Mittens getting banned that this HAS been being planned for months) WITH CCP. CCP gets free press, Goons get to RP that theyre badboys "forcing CCP's hand". its win/win.

You think its over?

What makes you think this is an event for K/D ratios?
Go count freighters jumping through gates in/out of JITA.

Also, note that one of the freighters was killed using ONLY destroyers. 134 destroyers or so to be exact.
I think I looted 10 of them wrecks after the things chilled down.

And if you are to look at numbers, loot at number of PODS.

I certainly hope not, I would feel downright silly killing random industrials in the undock if Burn Jita was over already.

If you still have the ships, the party continues, at least for you

It's a little disappointing after all the spam and hype about "destroying every ship!", then "destroying every industrial!", then "destroying rich industrials!", then finally "destroying a handful of industrials?".

The most exciting moment in the whole thing was watching 4 goons fail a gank and the guy gets aligned and out anyway with another 50 goons sitting around doing nothing.

And the goon ***** spam - goons sure do seem to like ***** art.

All the hype for a "fell asleep in the theater" moment. Disappointing.

Who said anything about K/D ratios? I thought it was supposed to be about shutting down the biggest hub in the game. These numbers suggest that the objective has not and will not be reached. It seems unlikely that any effect even vaguely close to the promised one will occur.

As to pod numbers, what has that got to do with anything? The vast majority of those will come from the people voluntarily joining in the combat. This event is meant to be an industrial interdiction and, in those terms, it shows little signs of success.

All that aside, the main point of my post was to correct the mistake that everyone has bought into for four pages of this thread - that there have been 10k ships killed during Burn Jita. There haven't. There have been 10k ships killed in Jita in the whole month of April. The little 'Burn Jita' tag at the top of the KB cited in the OP does not indicate that that is a campaign KB for Burn Jita. It appears at the top of every page on that site at the moment.

Pffft! My final observation on this whole thing is this:

If you place buy orders at Jita, forget it for awhile. Put your buy orders elsewhere. Those of us that thoroughly understand EVE markets will find those buy orders in short order and come to you to sell. Doesn't much matter where it is, as long as it isn't in low-sec. Like a particularly large and uncomfortable turd, the Jita disruption will eventually come to pass.

Actually 'Burn Jita' was originally scheduled for after fanfest, and had everything to do with Mittens getting over 10,000 votes, wasted or not; Its not about kill:death ratios, isk efficiency, or any other kind of epeen stroking; we're in Jita, ganking things because its fun and the boats were provided.

You can tinfoil all you want, proclaim all you want; but stop trying to pass off your buttmad hypothesis as to what you think the 'what' and 'whys' are, when you are obviously uninformed to EVERYONE that has even remotely payed attention to the ongoings in the game for the last 3 months.

I'm not sure where people are getting that it was planned with CCP.

Here. Have some tinfoil.

Here. Have some tinfoil.

"There was one bug [the 'bookmark escaping agro bug'] in the game that meant that if they do the things they're going to do, they could have escaped the in-game consequences. So we fixed that bug about three weeks ago. And they went, okay.

Tinfoil gives food a funny taste. I prefer not to use it. Plastic Wrap, on the other hand, is great.

GOONS FAILING. FAIL CASCADING.

Guys, the pubbies won, lets just leave them alone.

Actually, never mind, there's still ships left.

Sorry its early in the morning here..



So CCP knew at least that long ago what was planed.

So, all of you who wonder why the Boomerang suddenly became an exploit? There you go

Because it's not like we weren't chatting about this as far back as the CSM election and then started blaring that it was happening from the rooftops a month ago. I know CCP's sort of bad at the whole 'managing a game' thing but not even they'd end up missing that.

To any one that thinks that this didn't effect the eve economy log onto a jita alt and look at the volume of trading in minerals, it's down to less then half of normal.

Shut up. You don't speak for Mittani. Burn Jita will be over when GSF says it's over. Go cry in a corner with your dunce hat.
