As the owner of a tinfoil hat BPO I feel I should share my new theory with everybody. When the goons could not defeat bobs titans they threadnaughted and according to some even blackmailed CCP and posted on just about any game related forum about how crap EVE was and put about accusations against CCP being biased and backed this up by continually resurrecting the T20 affair and goons where even accused of having a master plan to ruin EVE and CCP.
I make no claims about whether the rumours are true or not and only recounting whats been accredited to them by other players, but whatever the truth is titans did get nerfed and have proven fairly vulnerable with several dieing a fiery death.
Many months on and BoB are supposedly nearly finished with the coalition planning on "dining in NOL" but for various reasons I don't claim to understand it didn't quite work out to plan and the coalition did "dine in NOL" but they ended up on the menu and BoB are not dieing and even taken back some token victories in the form of a Titan and other supercaps and masses of enemy pos.
The coalition for some reason doesn't seem to be as committed in its cause as it once was and some members are pursuing other campaigns in various other regions which brings us around to the goons.
The Goons are carrying out their infamous "jihadswarm" and much to many EVE players delight are suicide ganking Miners in high sec. Also at this time the forum whine squad has a new target Cyno jammers and titans once more and the goons are also participating in the whine fest and CAOD is full of various alt posters as well flaming and whinging about titans.
So is the Jihadswarm a tactic by the Goons to blackmail CCP? could it be that they are ganking high sec players who could very well leave the game because of the Jihad in the hopes of using it as a bargaining tool to get cause further nerfs to titans? If you believe the previous rumours of goonie blackmailing it could be taken as truth.

To be honest, The Mittani is fairly cunning, so this wouldn't entirely surprise me. However CCP is smart enough to not base decisions entirely on the degree of forum whining. ---------------- Tarminic - 33 Million SP in Forum Warfare Play EVE: Downtime Madness v0.79.1 |

No one can blackmail CCP in such a way. If CCP sees a threat to their revenue due to a game mechanic being over used, CCP can change the mechanic or delete those over using it.

Im a high sec hugging, corpless empire dweller. Man I wish I was as "rich" as all the forum trolls say I am. I make just enough each month to buy my 2 GTCs (2 accounts) and keep training my skills. I can make 10-20m an hour doing my missions. I've bought GTCs at up to 200m and as low as 170m. So I can put in up to 20 hours a month of grinding to keep playing.
As an high-sec hugging, corpless empire dweller, I wish I made 1/8th the money the greifers think I do.

I agree, I think CCP should delete Goonswarm before they do something really bad.
[I can honestly say there was no sarcasm in this post, I think Goonswarm could grow to be too powerful. Like a militia or private army growing so vast that they end up being more powerful than the countries actual army, and end up taking over by force] _____________________________ "So what do you need, besides a miracle?"

Originally by: AndrewRyan owner of a tinfoil hat BPO
Tinfoil hat BPOs were a bad idea. Sure, people can invent a BPC, but the efficiency is poor. Furthermore, due to the numbers of people that think materials (datacores, minerals, etc.) they obtain themselves are free, they are unprofitable through invention. Only the BPO holders, who can make tinfoil hats with good material efficiency, can make a profit, though this is much reduced from the outrageous prices of years past. This is clear evidence that the tinfoil hat producing cartels are still going, though at reduced profitability. They are probably flooding the market with enough tinfoil to drive prices low enough that invention is unprofitable to anyone who values their time, but high enough that they can still make a profit.
CCP, this has to stop. The people of Eve need more tinfoil hats.

People whose sole purpose in coming online to ruin the enjoyment of others are sick. The internet isn't serious business until you start messing with people's time and money-investments. People pay for their subscriptions with real money and get items with time. You people don't seem to get that. I wonder if you would have the same mentality if you just bought a car and some kids ran up and bashed it up with bats saying "ELOHEL we gOT HIM." I doubt you would justify their actions with, "Cars aren't serious business and they're just havivng fun, I mean, They did pay for those bats." _____________ Hai. |

Yes well unfortunately many abused and broken game mechanics make 0.0 safer than Highsec.
To start things off: 1. Stop giving out insurance to Concorded and self-destructed ships.
After that is done we can discuss any other broken game mechanic. I've never been suicide ganked and still see how rediculous the concept is. _____________ Hai. |

it has been considered but the amount of people we would need is quite high ~ 175 people in gank battleships.

The goonies (loved the film btw) have the 100% right to kill anything, this is eve, its a PvP game, you undock and you can be killed, but.......
The goons say they like making over absorbed people who take the game over seriously feel emotional pain as thats how they get thier stiffies (gotta keep their right/left hands happy). I put it too them that they are becoming their said prey, they are investing thier emotions into the game in a different way, they may not care about dying because they aren't dying, they are stll floating in a pod when they ship goes pop, so sucide ganking is the wrong term imho, more like griefing in a way not envisioned by the game devolopers. (nerf insurance on Concord kills plz)
Eve's 0.0 is basically in the xenophobic tribal warfare stage of devolopment, and it will stay that way as quite probally CCP want it to remain dangerous and fun, (or they know there are more destroyers than builders in the world and think "just be friends" is a nice idea but unacheivable), after all blowing up stuff keeps the ecomony going, no boom boom, no market for miners, producers, speculators etc.
CCP, if the goons begin to hurt their bottom line can do some very drastic things within the story line of eve, a few Jovian undercover exploration agents getting killed could have the Jovians enter 0.0 and wipe out the whole goon alliance in a day, every POS, every Captial, every last ship, a total cleansing of all hostile forces, the goons and thier cohort would all wake up in thier noob corp locations going wtf.
Thats the beauty of eve and its story line, that threat does exist and they can say, no its all part of the story line that we are progressing, you know the rules of the game, you are always in danger unless docked in a faction corp station in high security.
...... continues overleaf. |

People whose sole purpose in coming online to ruin the enjoyment of others is sick. The internet isn't serious business until you start messing with peoples time-investments. People pay for their subscriptions with real money. You people don't seem to get that. I wonder if you would have the same mentality if you just bought a car and some kids ran up and bashed it up with bats saying "ELOHEL we gOT HIM." I doubt you would justify their actions with, "Cars aren't serious business and they're just havivng fun, I mean, They did pay for those bats."
All people that pay for the subscription do the trial get the tutorial that says you are not safe unless you undock.
Stop undocking and you can keep your things
Yes well unfortunately many abused and broken game mechanics make 0.0 safer than Highsec.
To start things off: 1. Stop giving out insurance to Concorded and self-destructed ships.
After that is done we can discuss any other broken game mechanic. I've never been suicide ganked and still see how rediculous the concept is.
Suicide ganking is absolutely necessary unless you're going to advocate heavily nerfing noob corps.
CONCORD provide consequences, not safety; only you can do that. |

One thing that always intrigues me about these Daily Mail-esque "Aren't the Goonswarm terrible and they shouldn't be allowed to get away with it" threads is they never seem to contain anyone who actually was ganked - now could it just be that the number of miners getting ganked is a) small and b) they aren't all reactionary forum posters and expect to lose the odd ship - just like everyone says....
and also if all these people are actually leaving the game - why does it seem (from number of players) just as busy as ever - surely for CCP to be worried there would have to be thousands leaving.

"Arguing over the internet is like running in the special Olympics, even if you win, your still ********."
That said, I guess I'll ignore what I just said and put my 2 cents in anyway. Personally I like to Goons. I really think they should be allowed to do what they want unless it REAAAAALY effects a very large portion of the player-base in a negative way. As many have stated before, when you sign up to play you are consenting to non-consensual PVP (Quite the humorous paradox if you ask me). Thats what so great about EVE. Its unpredictable, and theres a defiant edge of loss. If your scared to lose anything, go grind in Maplestory.

Ah yes. People who just don't care, yet are strangely interested enough to make snide comments and whine endlessly to CCP...
You're not going to offend anyone with that post. You'll just give 'em a good laugh

The stated modus operandi of GS is to "break games" ie use mechanics in a way or on a scale that was never intended, like spawning penuses in Second Life etc.
Obviously hisec was never meant to be Disneyland.
On the other hand, I don't believe it was meant to be the main battleground of Eve either.
Alliance space is almost irrelevant, except for the high end minerals it provides.
Does anybody really care that alliance X beat alliance Y in lagfest POS warfare?
Does waiting for a module to respond represent "gaming" to anybody?
Used to be that 0.0 was the meat and hisec was irrelevant.
Now hisec is the meat and 0.0 is irrelevant.
GS came to Eve to break it, but the reality is it was already broken.

That Penuses thing was great and its their own fault for being in a free to do what you want zone.

Watching the people whine and the Goonies respond is like watching a bunch of ******s argue about which one is the smartest one on the short bus
CCP already knows how to 'fix' the suicide gankers, all they have to do is remove the insurance payout for Concord kills. That won't remove suicide ganking, but will make it so that the gank squads have to determine that the target value is worth more than they are about to lose. Would that stop the Goonies... NO. Would it slow them down a little bit, sure but it would take a little while before the losses started to mount enough to make them stop.

LOL I just don't see this happening. 10 Goonies jumping in system might raise some eyes. 50 Goonies would light up local to questions
100 or 150 Goonies jumping in. Ummm ....chaos or qual in flight when a bird dog runs into the brush

Jihadswarm?
Real original, witty, and provoking all in one word. Thought goons could do better.

If they didn't care, there would be no forum whines about it and the only threads in regards to JihadSwarm would be Goon threads...
But that's not the case, now is it?

It is more likely that the fat anti social nerd is the one mining ALONE in high sec.
Lacking in the skills to make friends even in a role playing game, the vicious cycle of dog eat dog continues. At least he can come to the forums and cry about it though amirite

Edited by: Dirk Magnum on 13/03/2008 05:33:22 Wieners leave this game all the time because someone ruins their fun. There was high sec ganking before Jihadswarm, and there will be after. If CCP was so concerned about people leaving because Eve is hard then they would have made the risk v. reward closer to that of the major MMO's.
Besides, I'm sure someone else probably said this in the thread already, IF (IF IF IF) CCP decided to react to Jihadswarm's high sec ganking they wouldn't decide to give in to the Swarm's demands. They'd just ban the worst offenders and threaten to ban anyone else who tried to blackmail their RL company with in-game shenanigans. I mean come on what kind of leverage can you ever really have over someone who can just ban you from the place you're causing trouble in?
But I don't think the Goons are doing their thing for any reason other than fun. The more threads like this that get started the bigger the legend grows. It's a dumb legend tbh.
