That was funny writeup: - we are out of game organization (IWI) - they (Mittany) cannot attack us in game - we (IWI) can attack them in the game - they (Mittani) used out of game means to fight us! =  TBH, if there ever were a concrete argument for why sites like IWI simply shouldn't be allowed (beside allowing untraceable RMT), he's given it right there. They are an out of game entity that can't be touched in the game but can use their out of game isk generation methods to attack in game players. Botting is banned because it supports RMT and conveys an unfair advantage to users, so why would this not be exactly the same?
I have a lot of sympathy with this position. It mus be immensely frustrating to face an enemy that you cannot actually attack in game. It is funny at the moment because it is goons but honestly, the position it leaves us all in is an unhealthy one.
But to address it you would really have to severely curtail gambling in EVE and CCP is demonstrably unwilling to do so.

IWI stated that it is now paying for total war against the Goons, courtesy of Mittens trying to get an angle on IWI out of game. You can read the article here. And this is why MBC fights (as the saying goes). Salt indeed.... Seeing goons deploy SJW-like tactics lends a certain sperging element to all this that makes me wonder if this is a going to become a meta-demographic war. What "kind of people" are these goons? We'll find out. I don't expect the results to be the kind that raises faith in humanity. Case in point: https://twitter.com/TheMittani/status/720287584144887812
I was meh when told I'd be leaving my ratting space to go invade the north. Now every night at work I can't wait to get home to shoot at space bees lol.
Exactly. Everything he has said over the last couple of weeks has just strengthened the resolve of his opponents. At first the MBC seemed (broadly speaking) to be content with purging the north. Now I wouldn't be surprised to see ongoing persecution in lowsec, or wherever goons choose to go next.
I understand that it was all meant for his own audience. But the lack of action to back up the extraordinary rhetoric just sounds increasingly hollow. At this point, his "hellwar" would merely equal continued feeding on the Saranen undock.
They should have defended the buffer regions. I think they were (again) playing the meta game in terms of wanting to attrition to result in incorporation of their allies' stronger corps into GSF. But it got out of hand and they now have no way of stopping the momentum.

They've all stated they're "burning sov", cool keep kicking over those space flags. Next, the moment PL get bored/train for AT etc, the coalition will lose the one major power carrying them around on the backs of their supers.
Let's assume they actually keep dek, cool, we'll go somewhere else. We'll be unleashed upon the great unwashed masses of highsec. With a refreshed, and agitated alliance ready to burn ****. Say what you want of the other alliances, but goons are growing in membership.
I don't think goons will collapse. They will certainly shrink, especially from Section 8 corps, but I'd be surprised if goons didn't endure.
The real question is about how long the MBC will hunt goons for once Deklein is taken. The number probably increases every time Mittani gives one of those cringey 40k speeches. Honestly, they are getting embarrassing.

As opposed to what? Camping the Saranen undock? You are deliberately not undocking anything meaningful so you can't legitimately complain when they go after what they CAN hit.
