Who know how many subs will be lost this weekend.

Really, really looking forward to putting the Goons to work making me ISK.

If they have fun doing it, even better.

Someone has had the clever idea of selling "Jita Permits" in the style of New Order. No idea if they are real or a scam.

LOL all I see is less and less people playing. How's the Goonification of eve working so far.

Do you remember thread "Let me to Jita"? When it was last time you have seen one? I haven't seen Jita closed for like 2-3 months already.
Another sign: forums. GD is almost dead lately. Warfare&Tactics has like 1-2 active threads.... Other forums not much different...

Some say this is normal and people just went to vacations. It can be. But overall activity is very low currently.

Well it is a surprise to see anyone connect Bore Jita to the highest CPU.

Hmm, let me think of an alternative explanation....

Oh, I have one, the 10th anniversary of Eve Online.

Hey Andski, if you want to think Bore Jita is the reason for the player record peak, and not the 10th anniversary when the whole, 'lets get as many folk online for the 10th anniversary' was heavily promoted on the forums, you do that.

It is just so sweet and adorable of you.

But, paradoxically, i also think that events like burn Jita harm the game as a whole. Ultimately serving the narrow, selfish interests of those that would force PvP onto those that have no interest in it. They don't even care if these players unsub, such is their disregard for the future of EvE.

Ah there's that narrow, self-interest i was talking about! Why have people playing in the sandbox differently huh? Much better for the sandbox to conform to your interests, right? They are, afterall, playing the game wrong! Much better for them to all unsub!

EvE is a great game for exactly the reason it caters to all play styles. From the most hardened super-active PvP Pirate scumbag, right down to the afk mining stay-at-home parent. The highsec hater crowd likes to make out that their actions are for the good of the game, but they couldn't care less about the continued growth and development of EvE, just as long as they get their easy mode. Why bother with actual PvP when you've got all those tasty defenceless targets in highsec that won't shoot back?

That's all you ever look like.

I know you are still angry and upset Erotica1 was banned, but you really should finally get over it.

Doesn't change the fact that ganking is nothing but zero-risk, maximum reward EvE on easy-mode. But hey, not everyone plays computer games for the challenge.

It's called a suicide gank because your dying isn't a "risk", it's an understanding that your ship will be destroyed.

Because you understand you will die, a "suicide" gank, then it's essentially paying for a gank.

The only reason the "risk" exists is because you don't take the steps necessary to ensure it's being successful.

What you're describing isn't a "suicide gank". It's a "stupid gank" attempt.

Hmm, I see what you mean.

I'm sorry, at first I thought you were doing "suicide ganks" for the purpose of killing another ship for the fun/enjoyment/sake of doing so.

I didn't take into consideration that your entire premise of a suicide gank was to "profit".

Sorry for assigning an honorable intention onto what clearly is not.

Enjoy your "profiting".

Apparently, you are financially motivated. While that is great and all that you yourself choose to place your sense of value solely on your ability to "profit" regarding finances, it should also be perfectly understandable that someone other than you could place his value system on something not centered around making isk.

Also, "fun" being a subjective term, it's allowed to be used subjectively, for each person, however he may so desire.

i dunno, some one jamming out half of your ships, or simply alphaing them off the field as soon as they turn criminal, or some one repping your target or....
do i really need to write out the entire damn list?

considering that it will never be possible to reach a 100%, choosing the plan that is 99.99999% effective is the best you can hope for, which means in the realm of reality, it's risk-free.
