Some of us never left after burn jita.
Nullsec Alliances need Highsec. We buy all of our stuff here and export it out. Some of us grind missions for standings, some of us have production alts, some of us have secret fun here.
Highsec and Nullsec are symbiotic.
Now saying that, we killed 620bil in freighters/jump freighters/cargo over the last 31 days. |

Hmm
I would recommend you learn your place, considering the only trips you make into highsec are too and from market hubs and your wormhole. http://i.imgur.com/85JJl.png
You've been in 5 corps since my highsec crew started our work. We have our own hilarious standards. The fact that you have to cower in a wormhole as a result of highsec diaspora is proof enough.

I'm sorry sir if you think we are just warping in and pressing shoot.
A great deal of effort and work goes into this. We have a production team to keep us in ships. We started the gank fest with a 1bil investment. The cost of the gank usually mirrors the cost of the freighter hull, unlike miners who can be owned by 2 destroyers at a fraction of the cost. Lots of coordination is required on the production, scanning, bumping, hauling, salvaging, market clearing, and ultimately execution. These strikes are surgical. It is a gamble every time that we execute one of these ganks, and we have a risk/reward formula that we use to ensure that our ganks are free until the end of time.
Every one of our gankers gets a free ship because our previous ganks (seed of 1bil) fund future ganks. This is a playstyle.
If you autopilot in a freighter, you die. If you cruise around with 10bil worth of stuff and don't double-wrap, you die. To clarify, 4 different freighter pilots have died to us TWICE within 30 days (some within 48hours) because they failed to evolve. Mind your surroundings. Be more cautious, hell even be smart. We kill individuals who lack this capacity. Several people have slipped through our fingers by using just a modicum of intelligence. Poetic Stanziel wrote a great piece on how not to be dumb when you have expensive stuff to move. Always use collateral. General Freight cans exist for a reason. If you are a dumb and lazy freighter pilot, chances are you will die if you move through a tradehub pipe.
When you are the very best at something, you take pride in it. How many of you can say you are the best at something? |

TLDR there are enough dumb people in this game that a few can stand to lose a little bit for their errors in judgement. We have nullsec FC's who lose whole fleets for their idiocy and errors in judgement. |

We have nullsec FC's who lose whole fleets for their idiocy and errors in judgement. You lost my attention when you started bragging about being good at a video game and calling other people dumb. That and your smug avatar really makes me wanna punch you. I'm done with this topic, it seems that all it has to offer are a bunch of holier than thou null jockeys trying to **** in the highsec cheerios because they've made their own part of the sanbox a bore.
((i thought you guys liked to roleplay :( ))
Pirates live everywhere. This is nothing new. Guiding Hand Social Club has been doing it forever.

Which one of those dead freighters were you?
Are you Gallente Citizen 20060217 or Miss Edney?
I fail to see you disputing any facts in this thread. You are just upset by truths and that's unfortunate. |

It is a little fun leaving a swath of staggering destruction in your wake.
Role playing a jerk, while pointing out the methodology for target selection, while trying to help people might seem arrogant, I know, but this is unprecedented destruction doled out by a small group of bored goons. We surpassed burn jita destruction, which was only 515bil by my record. A certain aura of smug is really hard to shake, so a few guys will probably come off as over the top. I wouldn't read into it too much. They probably were stuck scanning freighters for 3 hours at a time. A little forum bitching keeps them going.
Every time we talk about some goofy thing we do outside of nullsec, CCP swoops in and murders the parties involved. This time we picked something that plenty of people have done on a small scale, without being exploity.
Space Thug means never havin' to say you are sorry, I guess. |

Role playing a jerk? Is that what goonswarm is doing? Never found you guys to be jerks... more like...acting out because mommy and daddy are not home to supervise you right now. You guys seem more childish and annoying than you do jerks.
Edit: As for your ingame actions... honestly I find you quite boring. Your "burn jita" event wasn't very exciting. Ganking AFK ships isn't very exciting. You guys should try to be more exciting.
You might play the jerk role ingame...but you play the whine like children role on the forums.
Most of us are in our late 20's , early 30's with pretty good jobs. Its only Childish if you perceive us as such.
It is exciting for the people who were juking wardecs and blowing stuff up. Believe it or not, adrenaline is a fun thing. Blowing up stuff is a fun thing. You read far more into stuff than what is necessary. We just like to blow stuff up. It started off as AFK, and it has evolved into much much more. Your words and actions are those of someone who is frustrated by our ingame actions.
What excites you? If everything we do is so boring, then why do you care about this thread?
We're just trying to have fun playing in a video game that offers many different outlets for entertainment. |
