Having fought and seen the destruction of at least four of the most powerful empires in our history and a score of others I have to say that today is no different than back then.
Yep. More of the same.
Technetium - Nothing Changed
From Inside POS AoE doomsdays to Tech. They don't make changed until the 'damage' is done.
Most MMO's it is about big fish but in EVE it was more about last man standing. |

And yet, none of that stuff stopped a small band of terrorists from not only holding venal but attacking them whenever we wanted for years.
Lets be real, you guys were never "A small band of terrorists" even if you pretended to be. Not to say it wasn't smart to let people underestimate you when the time was right. Those days are gone now though. |

I must have been dreaming when BoB beat the living snot out of the Goons and they quit for a time, over something to do with mocking a dead player, when Molle famously declared that there will never be an EvE where Goons would be allowed to build back up. There wasn't any pretending there, it certainly looked like a massacre. They came back with better, more focused leadership than they'd had before, and a BoB director who wanted to have some fun. Whether they would be where they are today if that director hadn't helped is anyone's guess.
The way I heard it, they left because of a corp thief. They get curb stomped to this day in battles. It happens. You don't need to defend goons. I don't hate on them. I look at what they are doing, what anyone is doing and decide if I like the action. Discussions get dragged down in to the mud when we turn it in to hate goons or hate -A- or hate BoB. It's derailment, maybe not intentional but effective.
I don't agree with the bottle necks in EVE. Be it T2 salvage, be it Uedama, be it Technetium or LP store Insignia's. I don't find they create conflict. I find they create monopolies. I don't think that is the objective in EVE. |
