Most interesting read, can't judge how factual it is though. However, it appears that there's a long term goal to push Eve to a point of stagnation in order to break it badly enough that CCP will have no choice but to fix it, or let it die.
Quote:In truth, the end result of all of this pairing off and conquering is a goal which has been conjured by the CSM. A statement of absolute meaning to CCP: Fix EVE. Fix EVE fast or we'll stagnate the game to the point where there'll be no wars, no need to fight and no need to play. It's a vicious message, a brutal message and it should, hopefully, be significant.
But there is profit to be made here. Money for the man with a keen eye. Control of all of null-sec under a large coalition allows certain resources to be controlled outright. Embargoes on resources result in hi-sec and low-sec being starved of crucial materials needed to build ships and continue the cycle of production and destruction that keeps the EVE Online economy functioning.
You see this? This is why they suddenly are so concerned about mythical "daytrippers" mining ABC in wormholes and want ABC removed from them. This is why they want ice removed from high sec.
Small wheels in a long term plan, not to benefit Eve, at least in the short run, but to push their agenda. The real question is... these are Goons. Are they really ultimately trying to save Eve, or is this the ultimate Goon Eve agenda... to bring it all crashing down and laugh as they transfer to their next MMO victim?

If they gained full control of ABC and ice, why stop at the moon?
Slade's dead on though... it's impossible to not sit back and stare in morbid fascination...

Slade's dead on though... it's impossible to not sit back and stare in morbid fascination... embargoing abc would be a pain in the ass we simply embargo technetium, where we can easily check who owns what moon, and suddenly you can't make t2 ships (even after a tech nerf), or we embargo prom, or whatever is easiest to monitor ice is much easier to control, it also has limited chokepoints that can be easily monitored
I can see your point, thank you.
I have to admit... this has the potential to be fascinating. Can it really be pulled off? Are you all really going to try?
I need popcorn.

How one promotes stagnation by engaging in the very large-scale conflicts they say are dwindling, is a little beyond my understanding. ....
When/if they control all of null there won't be any combat to be had. Stagnation.

Unfortunately, I think most folk would rather roll over and die (no longer log in). Their own fault if they don't want to fight the good fight!
When you consider who has the supers and who doesn't... makes it a little more challenging than most people are willing to accept.
