As I have been playing actively for about a year or two now, I've been trying to figure out why I have this mental alignment to hate the Goons. Maybe it's their popularity, maybe the fact fedoras died in the 70's, or if Mister Shadoo of PL's face makes me laugh more. So I ask of any member of the Goonswarm that passes by, what's your game? I have a difficult time thinking you're pirates. It's not the usual MO of the sociopaths of low-sec. I want to hear a Goon's thought of what they are and their alignments to the EVE universe are. Let's face it though, I'll probably only get a snark comment.
Thanks for reading!

Following the general tinfoil hattery of most of these types of posts. Roughly 80% of EVE are goons or goon alts.
Actually it's just you, yes you reading this post right now whoever you are. There are only 2 people playing EvE.
You and The Mittani. Everyone else is just one of his alts.

doesn't matter how many times they burn jita, even if they did it every week and it lost all meaning it's still going to be content.
Station spinning for hours is content as well then, in this context. we're talking about player made content, so no, ship spinning isn't content in this context.
So you're saying a player spinning themselves in a station isn't content? The logic here is strong. |

Don't feel bad, OP, SA folks vary greatly enough for me to say it really depends on with whom you hang out. I know one SA dude from SL (yes, W-HAT before it went under) and he's pretty good guy. Then I've known some other SA folks from Age of Conan who weren't worth my time so I just ignored them (although, tbh they weren't as annoying as those Murder Cow jerkwads). All in all, Goons here are just as much of a mix in my experience, so you get the good and the bad. Or I as like to call them: an assorted mix of fruits and nuts. :) |

This, seriously.
CCP creates EVE with close to no rules and nobody panics, because it's all part of the plan.

Eve is about inclusion, of bringing players into the game. SA is about elitism and 10 bux. Its very interesting how this "innocent" OP has escalated. And really how you have taken such offence to the opinion of one poster.
Hahaha he said elitism and goons in the same sentence as if our main policy for the last several years running wasn't "If you put enough idiots in ships you can literally kill anything." |

Imagine a social construct that attracts the worst that humanity has to offer.
The pool (or cesspool) that the goon's draw from runs the gamut from the equivalent of the taliban, to goldman sachs' VP's, to the koch rrothers, to reality show producers.
The people that enjoy the style of play that goons espouse is one that the sociopaths and psychopaths of the world aspire to.
That is what the culture of the goons is all about.
Don't get me wrong. Their leadership is far from stupid. In fact, they are quite intelligent. It is simply that they are evil.
But overall, the kind of people that enjoy the goons' playstyle are the same ones that enjoy hurting other people in real life, and believe that their ability to hurt other people is their right, if they can pull it off. Oh, and gloating about it makes it all the more enjoyable.
Their motto says it all. " we don't want to ruin THE game, just YOUR game." I'm willing to assume you kill hundreds of millions of innocent NPCs that crew the red crosses you destroy. You evil, sadistic, heartless murderer.Throw him in a padded room and lock away the key, this man is clearly a psychopath for his actions in a game. the difference is made by actions against the living
No, no it's not. People in Eve kill each others avatars all the time, and the ones who I have met are some of the most well adjusted, calm, successful people I know. You cannot throw it out there that one corp or alliance is full of murderers just waiting for the right opportunity in real life to go on a killing spree. It's ridiculous and you know it is.

I mean when I played star trek online I used to grief the starbase undock by self destructing my ship which would blow up ships next to me, the next day I did it IRL when I pressed the self destruct button on my ford pinto and took out a cop.

Initially I hated goons because their stated goal was to ruin Eve and ideally force the game to close down. Somewhere along the line, I think goons fell in love with Eve. So now I just hate them out of habit.

Because dismissing everything from a particular source because of their choice of name for the site could limit getting EVE information?
Because neither article was written by a member of Goonswarm and in particular the piece "The Big Lie" should be, imho, required reading from Aura?
For the Emperor?

You have assets in this game, you will have to protect those assets.
The more assets you have, the more you have to protect them.
Goons have many assets, goons therefore have to protect a lot.
You may think they are just a bunch of @#%^(&@&, but actually, even something like Burn Jita or Hulkageddon, is a way for the Goons to protect their income.
Although there are many many more reasons, i shall just state one reason for Hulkageddon.
Hulkageddon is meant to gank miners in High-sec space.
What do people mine in high-sec space? indeed, lower value ores.
So, what happens when you gank the group of people, mining the lower value ores? Exactly, the value of those ores goes up.
I don't know if you know, but in null-sec, those lower value ores aren't very abundant and besides this, industrialists usually don't feel like mining them ( Arkonor makes a lot more iskies after-all ).
If the value of a particular ore goes up, so does the likelihood of people mining them.
This is just a small example, but ultimately, they are protecting their assets and their position.
Anybody else would do the exact same thing, Goons are just more successful than anybody else.
If a man speaks his mind in the forest and no woman hears him, is he still wrong? |

Being a goon is about never logging in while pubbies feed you free isk & put all the effort towards your success only for you to keep it all for yourself & refuse to acknowledge their part in said success.
The guy who was sitting next to me in the first nullsec round table who had obviously not had a shower since before boarding his flight to Iceland, you really stank. You know who you are. |

Players who bring content into the game are always nice, and from what I've seen in burn jita2 it was rarely loss of ships for the goons.The freighters were cherry picked so that they were really worth ganking or at the least not at loss.
