People pay attention to them. Being a powerhouse means they create more sense of victory through victory. That attracts more players and more power.
A long time ago we discussed how to defeat goons.
The result? Ignore them. If they invade, don't fight back. They burn jita, shop dodi, etc. They would implode via boredom.

This topic is so interesting, and always puts me into a connundrum.
I have said before, and is discussed here about how the goonswarm actually operates and their structure etc being impressive, earning them their place as a powerblock.
The unfortunate part is the attitude directed towards other players, made me really lose respect for those involved. Too many encounters where the line of smacktalk was pushed too far. Is one thing to be disliked for asserted control over eve and playing a bad guy, but unfortunately, reputation precedes that.
Overall, it does get confusing, and a bit depressing to think about really :s

The CODE. example is a great one actually. I hate CODE, but because of that, I like them. The concept they bring is a neat aspect of eve. The issues around them has more to do with how eve is introduced to the new player prior to undocking. There are other issues as well (Was it code that was the "bonus room?") , but I do not see CODE in a more general fashion doing wrong from a gamer's point of view. They style of play should be enhanced, but more inclusive to the communities they affect.
But I can do so because despite everything, they have, for the most part been pretty... respectable? Yeah, a fair numbers of bad apples, but they still are essentially a game community and treating players as other gamers. Piracy in space games is one of those expected things. It is just unfortunate is imbalanced in eve.
Goons though tended to, at least in the past, be disrespectful on a personal level. It seems more toned down in recent years though. But there are some that do just dislike goons because they made things to a personal level in the past.

Are you two done with trying to win a d*ck measuring contest? Jesus....the pettiness/stupidity on these forums. Are we adults or 13 year olds?
I am thinking my personal mantra that every year I am not older, just more immature. I dont get it when taken seriously, but what they say is good ol smacktalk, fun if in good sport. Even I like mutual smacktalk on occasion
