I kind of liked it better when bob guys were posting on forums. Rubbish like this was quickly refuted, disproven with in game actions and the op was sent packing with tail between legs.

If you honestly think that just because lv went down after a long extended campaign that bob will do that same, you are sadly mistaken. In fact, your immense short sightedness and failure to comprehend basic strategy is glaringly obvious.

From what I have seen (and is generally accepted by the community), bob is made up of very good players. Their opponents on the other hand are nothing more than riff raff. As has been proven time and time again, riff raff has no chance when taking on skilled individuals. It is the amateur versus professional argument. So essentially what you are dealing with is a pickup league of softball players taking on the Yankees....

Goonswarm fails in comparison to that of ASCN which was really only handled by maybe 100 or so bob members at any given time. Goon may have numbers, but that has proven a mute point with the exception of crashing nodes. Take into account that now they have to defend space, which by the way they have proven to fail miserably at, makes it more likely that they won't succeed at anything.

d2 is just a weaker ASCN as what was pointed out earlier. CA is nothing wihtout the Goon meatshield. AAA is onboard for survival and will flip once it is obviously going their way. (this is no slight on AAA, well at least the original element. They should have thought about absorbing the former ASCN elements however as that excess baggage will be their downfall)

Then you have the bandwagon effect. On both sides of the fence.

Sure this 'coalition' has a lot of members but when you are dealing with low quality, well you end up with a lot of low quality. Bob on the otherhand attracts the better quality players and will continue to do so. Afterall, anyone who has decent skills wants to be able to play with players of the same calibre, not a bunch of whiners. Once you come to the realization that bob is good at Eve because they know how to play the game it all becomes perfectly clear. Naysayers and losers would like to have everyone believe that bob uses cheats, hax, exploits, etc but the reality is that bob just plays better. They are smarter, more mature and far more disciplined than the other groups that are opposing them. End of story. Truth hurts. Thanks for coming out. Take your pick.
