PvP is about 50% about the enjoyment in seeing others suffer. The other 50% is the enjoyment of the kind of fierce competition that only comes from PvP.
Saying that he wants to make their enemies miserable is perfectly reasonable, I'm sure Molle doesn't want the goons to be happy either...
And as for destroying eve, he's either joking, or the latest incident has pushed him over the edge. Either way I don't see anything wrong with that.
Do you play chess because you enjoy seeing your opponent suffer?
Do you play blackjack because you enjoy seeing the dealer suffer?
Do you watch football, icehockey or any competitive sports because you enjoy seeing losers suffer?
I doubt it. There's a big difference between enjoying winning and enjoying the suffering of others. One can be extremely competitive and cruel in terms of achieving game goals and still have no malice toward one's competitors.
The goals within a game environment dictate what means are neccessary or possible to be employed in reaching them, be it scoring goals, points or home runs or conquering sovereignty, inflicting monetary damage or building a supercapital. To reach these goals, it is neccessary to cause suffering to others, but that suffering is not the goal.
Saying it is is like saying that football is about causing your opponent injuries and enjoying it. Anyone who would say that would instantly make a fool out of themselves. No, football is about displaying skill and teamwork. No player's goal is to get other players to quit football. Such players should only quit themselves. EVE is no different: you can have fierce battles, tests of might if you will, and come out with mutual respect whether you won or lost.
I can not verify the authenticity of the provided quotes in the OP, but I sincerely hope that it's not true. But if it is, goon members should rise above it and seek a coup d'etat or resign.
The above is my personal opinion, and not in my capacity as a representative of the MC.
Don't think many could have said it better.
Quoted for Truth and you can delete that personal opinion *******s. :)
