Yeah Goons are working hard at removing that
You honestly dont think if subs drop cause of constant hulkageddon (the till august thing) and get tired of not being able to mine to they leave for other games, you HONESTLY think if this affects sub numbers CCP wont go all "summer of QQ" and do something knee jerk like they always do that makes mass ganking an exploit or something equally stupid (again like they usually do)?

and as for "Such a wonderful mechanism to avoid nonconsenual PVP."
Such a wonderful mechanism to avoid douchebag griefer corps that fap when then dec a 3 man mining corp an then fap every hour they station camp them. Youd think theyd chafe

incomprehensible drivel.

Let's pull together and make this happen, I'm ready to push the big red button of change in the 'verse. Eve history says its coming, lets make it happen on our terms!

So I call out to the other alliances and players that would join forces to put another in the iron throne that mittens claims as his for life.

~eleet peeveepee~ will reform voltron

So I was pondering this as I consumed my body weight in tequila to connect with my "dusty deserts of AZ near Mexico" heritage in RL.

One of the most amazing part of Eve is the big sweeps in power that the badlands have provided. When my corp started we committed to the "Big Blue" experiment to let non-evil builders not breakers enjoy the wonders of 0.0. Later on we doubled down and tried the BRUCE experiment to create something similar. Prior we were part of the goons where they were just finding themselves in Empire and I watched them go from mostly useless in high sec wars to the new uberlords of Eve. So if I learned anything about Eve is it changes no matter what CCP does because the big changes come from the players, not the devs.

Along the way we saw BoB who seemed more "honest" about their intentions to own all of Eve. They ultimately failed from meta-gaming, not in Eve failures, lots of shenanigans followed and fast forward to now. So our "masters" in Eve have come in many forms, our current is definitely not my favorite.

The Goons, the defacto dictators of life in Eve define the nature of Eve. No longer just null, but the whole game. Without doubt the most successful group in Eve history. So is that it, is Eve forever going to be whatever mittnen's latest ego fart declares?

I hope not, I think we are at the very beginning of an Eve inflection point. Many grow weary of trade disruptions, market manipulation and griefing. Not to mention the domination of a part of null that easily can be described as the most wealth producing areas in the 'verse. If history in Eve tells us anything, its that nothing if permanent. So could we be at the beginning of the end of goon dominance?

While the idea of all of highsec driving the goons out of their iron throne seems unlikely, a change seems inevitable!

So I call out to the other alliances and players that would join forces to put another in the iron throne that mittens claims as his for life. I think the time for this is now. Let's come together and find a way to make the goons join the junkpile that BoB and so many other powerblocks have been tossed on. Time for a change! For better or worse we've had enough of goon nonsense.

~eleet peeveepee~ will reform voltron and curbstomp goons back to syndicate

hisec scrublords will continue to farm starter content for hours on end and avoid interaction with other players as much as possible

and eve will roll on

You said it a little differently, but mostly that! :-)

Besides the fact that it's completely different, yes.

I will enjoy sniping you terrible highsec publords from the comfort of my Machariel (Special TiberizzleGäó edition).

In all seriousness, my guess is goons will eventually get bored with mittani's goonswarm, including himself. They'll implode and reform in some new incarnation; the same basic constituent parts, but arranged differently.

Personally I'm pretty happy right now with the game under an ascendant goonswarm. I'm really enjoying the market terrorism and the exercise of power outside the usual nullsec arena. Mittani's goonswarm has added a whole new set of possibilities to the playbook, and I look forward to seeing what else they will attempt before they grow bored with exercising their superpower status.

again... werent you hard core elites just little pubbies like us before you got sick of BoB and rose up?

Heh, did you make money off the manipulations? I some some of the market pvpers were quite happy with their isk.
