No this isn't a troll...

In b4 ships turn into flying mounts and we can have pets in station

Title states it all. No this isn't a troll, flame or insult toward Goblin but rather I ask a legitimate question. What exactly do his article's contribute toward in improving Eve? I read all the pretty little news sites mainly for laughes over the propoganda war and of course for the abissmal articles written on an almost daily basis by Gelvon Goblin.

See I understand that all if not mainly a majority of the news written for EN24 and Mittani well are spun. But even I fail to see any legitimate contribution Goblin brings except for infuriating those who endure the pain of reading his opinions on making Eve like World Of Warcraft.

His articles hold little context. Rather than taking an outward look at Eve as a whole, he often gloats from simple things like his wallet balance, to his "acceptance" into TEST (as if this was an achievement worth any merit at this stage in the war), and of course let us never forget my fellow simpletons he achieved the "gold cap" in WoW.

No I'm not kidding. . Why not stick someone else to fill the gap on the "economic" section of your website? Why keep giving this person chances to make EN24 look comical?

Please someone enlighten me. How exactly does comparing looting boars for gold give one credentials in speaking on the vast intricate workings of Eve's economic system? Let's not even touch his opinion on null sec, frig pvp, combat experience vs care bearing etc.

My point is Riv. You read these forums. And Ripard you are a CSM. Do us all a favor and send this little green goblin back to the Horde where he belongs.


(Also I fail at life for confusing Riverini and Ripard Teg. I shall take no less than 50 lashes for my incompetence )

blah blah incompetence )

Yeah, that is the solution. However (yes, there's a however) EN24 is one of 2 main news sites, and they have opposing bias, so generally it's best to read both. EN24 chooses to post Gevlon's nonsense as a news article. That's what the complaint here is about.

As EN24 don't seem to respond to the mass of complaints on it's site about Gevlon, someone chose to raise the topic here. I fully support it and think EN24 should stop publishing Gevlon's articles. He will still get his supporters on his blog and they can go chat nonsense all the want.

We all have, though, heard about his post on TEST forums saying it was pointless to show up if you couldn't bring a ship for fighting capitals.

blah blah incompetence )

I'm sorry, how much are you paying for EN24 or Mittani.com subscriptions. I don't know, I haven't gotten my bill in the email yet.....

Last time I looked, This above mentioned sites are privately owned and operated, which means that if all they ever wanted to do is post Chinese translations of Das Kapital and Mien Kampf, that's their business. Your choice is go there and read ...or don't, that's it.

What you posted reminds me soooo much of the people in the Ships and mods forum who complain about EFT and EVEMON...FREE TOOLs you get for free and don't even have to pay a dime for (lol), yet people think they are entitled to some kind of rights regarding them. That's BS, don't like free stuff, don't use it and tell your freinds to not use it.

I'm amazed that things that are so simple for most of us turn out to be so hard for certain others....

Action? I'd love for TEST to take his advice so this war would be over much quicker

There, cut to the chase on that post.

I've only visited that Greedy Goblin guy's blog once a few days ago after reading a thread about him in the Missions and Complexes forum (the OP seemed about as butt hurt about Gevlon as you do).

So I went to the blog and read how he used a Cheapfit Marauder with dualboxed logi to do missions and make isk. The tone of the article was fairly smug and imo arrogant, as if it were the greatest PVE thing anyone had ever thought of when in fact something like Dual Boxed domis (w/sentries), typhoons, RR cheapfit wormhole style Tengus or Ravens (supporting with FoF missiles) would have been both cheaper and much MUCH more effective. I didn't like the experience of reading his blog post.

So I, Jenn aSide, Empress (yes Empress because of white girl avatar) of General Discussion came up with this unique, never before heard of, never before tried, totally experimental plan to solve the problem.

I shut down the browser window that had the blog post on it....then I didn't ever go back again. You should maybe try that too.

I expect my noble prize for awesomeness to be in the mail shortly, because no one has ever conceived of a plan such as mine!

Wilhelm doesn't actually write for EN24, he just allows riverini to republish his content. That is also the case with Gevlon, Ripard Teg, Kirith, Mord Fiddle, Mabrick, Poetic and several others: they run their own blogs but riverini simply reposts it.

Autists gonna aut.

Don't you know the old saying about train wrecks? They are so terrible but once they happen you can't look away. Also instead of being a smartass perhaps you could actually read the EN24 articles where he fumbles around trying to put a spin on things he knows nothing about.

I'm really ******* sick of people treating autism as a joke. Kill yourself.
