Um...really not sure how to respond to this. Jita burning would never happen in WoW or what ever other games you play.
What makes Eve different? Its player led. So for example in WOW they may have an event with GMs etc....Eve the players create the Event. I can go and play another MMORPG and shoot at someone called Zarnak the Unpronouncable about 20times because hes an elite rat that is part of some story line that im grinding for epic lootz.
Or i can shoot at a goon who is a real perso n who has inturupted my cash flow out of some need to promote his self promoting leader.
The point is that Eve content really is player driven. When CCP say they want this they mean that they want YOU to creat events and affect the universe. I watched the WOD keynotes and i think you should becasue they explain what is ment by sandbox really well there. Its about your actions effecting the sandbox and those around you. If you disagree with (or even care) the goons actions get in some ships with your mates, and suicide gank some goons or pay some merc to war dec them...or war dec them for a week so you can shoot them in Jita.
Unless some one has done somthing that breaks the EULA this shouldnt be a place to moan about someone having the good idea of adding content to the game, hell this is the only game where Goons cant really be a griefer corp they are more mainstream than you think, I mean really howmany alliances arent trying to be man spirited pirate types :P
What intrests me is also that the Goons have actually been very restrained with this as there are another 3 main trade hubs and countlest reigonal hubs. An organisation as large as the goons would have been able to shut down Rens, Dodixe and Amarr if thay had wanted too.
I am not a goon alt btw and if you check my embarassing killboard you will see that i shoot at TEST too as they tend to bring a fight, and i have ne real vested intrest in the nullbear,carebear, hardbear, goonbear, or incusionbear debate as i play Eve and deal with what crosses my path as it comes at me.
Burn in Jita has had a very indirect, but massivly positve impact on my Eve daily experience and without things like that it would be a duller game.
Its a real shame that its only the goons that seem to care enough to do big events and no-one else seems to want to.
**** i just did a nice post about the goons...um...eerr...goons suck, phew thats better :P
**Edit, just noticed the stuff about Hulkkageddon. dont mine and sell the huge stock of ore you have been hording on the way up to hulkaggeddon like therest of us (I hava an industrail miny mission runner who was my first toon) who spotted the supply and demand needs taht would appear after the massive amount of dammage done at jita followed by a slow down in mineral production that is Hulkageeddon. You can bet the Goons are mining in perfect saftey in null to make a massive profit off all of this.
It's not griefing its market manipulation, the fact that people belive its griefing and not a cold calculated attempt at making more ISK (after all mittens gave all his ISK away) says less about the Gankers and more about the Gankees |
