hahahaaahahahah
seriously
is this guy for real?
lmao

2. If they have read forums they probably believe they will be a cog in a machine being told what to do.

3. They have heard the stories of CTA's where you supply your own ship, organize for hours and something may or may not happen - including losing your ship in a hopeless fight.

If anybody belongs to an alliance like this they are p dumb. You don't have to join up with the first crappy corp that spams something in the Recruitment channel...look around and find one that doesn't treat their members like slaves.

I have a number of friends who have been in Goon(dot)

At least half of them left because they felt that way. Sounds to me like your doing the classic "Trying to make everyone else play the game like me" troll, and masking it in a "My alliance is awesome" post.



I go into nullsec every night to PVP.
I lead roams there EVERY night.
I refuse to live there... because the sov mechanics suck and so do the people who "rule it"



So I live in Empire instead.

I also guess that 0.0 alliances are very valued helpers of CCP - you start your computer and get logged in to several EVE-related jabber channels automatically; you fetch a cup of coffee and spend the next 20 minutes getting up to speed reading alliance forums, you are growing tired of EVE but instead of quitting EVE you just stay subscribed to play WoT, HoN or BC2 with your (EVE) alliance mates; you are watching a movie when suddenly ping the jabber broadcast comes in that hostile supers are tackled - after logging in you find out they were tackled by some Rifter in the belt but you don't go back to watching TV anyways; ...

1. WH nerf
2. Hi sec war nerf
3. Hi sec incursion nerf

It all points the same way, the long awaited 'push' to get players into null sec is in action.

Is it a coincidence that the CSM is primarily composed of null sec alliances at this point in time?
here are extracts from a high level conversation:

"damn, we dont have enough noobs to shoot here in null sec, what should we do?"
"lets convince CCP that null sec is the future of the game and encourage them to hit hi sec with the nerf bat"
"hey great idea, im on it"

In all seriousness can I ask, is this REALLY the time to be doing this?

post incarna, post Aurum, post 10k average players logged in drop - this is the time to make the push is it?

For anyone out there wanting to run a sucessful MMO, start one up now, and whenever CCP do something do THE EXACT OPPOSITE! You will be millionaires in no time.

level4s have been a huge mistake and need to go

highsec incursions might be a problem

What CCP needs to do is figure out how to make a "grass is greener" scenario, realizing that removing the grass from high sec is cheating. Thing is... your carebear types won't be going to null simply because they prefer safer space. It's who they are, and if you make changes to the game that push them too far outside their comfort zones they're more likely to stop playing than they are to go where they're not comfortable, and not happy at being forced to move.

So here's the real problem... to get more people into null space you actually need to make is safer. However, if you make it safer, you're effectively killing null space. It's an unenviable task. However, taking things away from high sec/ wormholes, etc. will not push people into null. It'll just push them to other games.

Whenever I hear the lame "you got no balls" I roll my eyes , i think you need to understand not everyone wants a second job playing Eve.

It's not a conspiracy if I believe it. Really guise, really really reals. Goons are out to destroy a game they have put years into.

Oh hai thar goon.

As an example I recently flew an unscouted battlecruiser through 7 hostile nullsec regions looking for fights and came home without a fight to my name... not even a blob. This does not marry up with the general highsec player's view that null is cold, harsh and dangerous - which it should be.

Him being a goon doesn't make him wrong. Level 4 missions and incursions provide way too much isk for the risk involved.

really the one thing that needs to be nerfed (but never will be) in empire is level 4 missions: they set the minimum income level you need for 0.0 to be worth it so high that it can't be met. nothing else in empire comes close to running level 4 missions in virtual safety: it's just not worth bothering killing mission runners in t2 fits in ravens even if you want to just for the fun of it. ice miners are more at risk than missioners and they make less than a fifth of what mission runners make

0.0 should be buffed rather than empire flat nerfed, but level4s have been a huge mistake and need to go, they're the only thing in highsec so out of whack that it hurts efforts to balance 0.0

highsec incursions might be a problem, dunno, but at least those force cooperation and may allow proto-corps to form

because goonswarm was a disruptive force

OR you could say 0.0 is not providing enough ISK for the risk it involve .

If you nerf HS , 0.0 dwellers would still cry at least a bit , and HS dwellers would just (rage)quit . Everyone would be sad panda .

If you buff 0.0 , 0.0 dwellers would be happ(y)(ier) and HS dwellers would just keep going as usual . Everyone would be happy family .

But those kind of posts do not suprise me . After all , you are GOONS , you want to DESTROY OUR GAME , right ?
