If they really want to shake down eve, why don't they start attacking these POS's?
They can field the dps, even in highsec (unless too negative sec status), they can also fund war decs.
Or are goons really just paper tiger? |

Because they don't profit from it.
Not to mention in highsec the corporation can just avoid the wardec all together making it pointless to even try.
Everything goons do, they profit from. |

I don't know. This makes no sense. They really like shooting defenseless structures repeatedly for negligible amounts of tears.

POS bashing can be a fun event if it's not a regular part of your operations. If you do it all the time it leads to the sort of monotony that resulted in what was probably the longest-running complaint about nullsec ever (moreso even than afk cloakers, NAP coalitions, drone regions, and general scaling issues / opportunity deficiencies for the wee alliances.)
A concentrated campaign of high sec POS bashes would, I guarantee you, lead to at least a few cases of IRL self-harm by the participants, while the "victims" said meh and moved on. High sec POS shooting is the worst thing you can do in this game, is what I'm saying. Literally the worst.
"For example, if you are thinking about selling a Republic Fleet Firetail as a regular Firetail, be sure that the market volume is high on regular Firetails and that there are plenty of buy/sell contracts for Republic Fleet Firetails. [...] The players most interested in Republic Fleet Firetails are going to be players flying regular ones."-á -- PB |

only carebears like shooting pos' cause its 100000 x more exciting than running missions.
yet its still the single most boring "pvp" related activity in the game. |

nice try but unless you pay them I doubt the goons will shot POS for you
now if you offer them a fee.... say a billion each, 50% up front, you might get your system cleared so you can industry in peace
but obviously you are not important enough to hire the goons
The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

Call Mr Peabody and borrow his wayback machine.
See the little bees try this and fail with much laughter from the EVE general population.
They were pwned and will never make that mistake again.

Todays goons are MUCH more similar to BOB than they are to the Goons who first became famous.
But such is the history of all nomadic warrior groups.

Goons wont shoot high sec POSs because humping a pile of old used rusty aids infected crack needles is WAY more fun than shooting High Sec POSs.
I love the the smell of victory in the morning. It smells like... Blood, vomit and burning flesh.

Current mechanics mean the only way to kill a Hisec POS (owned by intelligent people) is to RF it then Suicide Gank it once it comes out of RF. Couple thousand alpha tornados per POS, sounds fun. |

1. Why would they? There's nothing in it for them GÇö in fact, it would only devalue their ice interdiction effort.
2. Highsec POSe were recently rendered unkillable by the GM's, so :effort:
3. Too much exposure and too little action for too little (i.e no) gain.
GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

Who the hell wants to pays 15 bucks a month to log in and do work??? Your statement applies to every gamer on the planet. I play games to have fun. I work to make money. Not spend money to work.
CCP needs to rethink all things that are considered grinding and change it to something that is dynamic and scales well in various situations. Above all it should be fun, not work. And before anyone replies to my statement, there is a difference between effort and work.

running production or research out of a high sec POS allows you to avoid the Cartels like Goon but you won't compete with them on the markets.
While they don't seem to grasp the simple reality that for high sec miners it's not about cutting in to the profits of me, me, me goons, it's simply content in a game and if they keep it up those players will go find a game that actually provides real content rather than some fantasy RMT entropia, none of this really plays out with high sec POS ownership. |

They own a good chunk of Tech moons. If you're building T2, you're paying them.
If you're manufacturing T1 at a POS for profit, well.... Ok. |
