Caldari fuel blocks are currently selling for 23K in Jita.
Granted, this is mostly due to market manipulation today, but nonetheless, current costs to run a large Caldari POS now stand at 664M/month using that 23K/fuel block price.
It does not concern me much, since I stocked up to establish a buffer.
But I am sure there are many budding industrialists you are ruining.
Well played.
I just wish I could understand what kind of mind Goon leadership must have to derive enjoyment in destroying the enjoyment for many others in this game.
Actually, it is pretty clear. Goon leadership are sociopaths.
It really does not matter that "Eve is just a game, and it is a sandbox".
Though it is quite impossible to do, it would be extremely interesting to have professional clinical psychologists study Goon leaders in and out of game, and compare their real world lifestyle with that of their Eve game style.
I personally believe that the correlation would be extremely high.
The more people I kill in Eve Online (and I've literally killed thousands, if not tens of thousands) the more I find that the players who are the most socially adjusted and psychologically stable are the killers, the pirates, the agressive violent individuals that thrive on player vs. player competition.
The players who are the most unreasonable, the most unintelligent and the most hateful (sending dozens of evemails spewing violent profanity and racist hate speech for example) are the 'carebears'- the builders, the industrialists, the miners. The people who claim to be benevolent and 'peaceful' and 'just want to be left alone'. These are the most dangerous, most maladjusted sociopaths in the game.
I think the reason for this is that this class of players gravitates towards online games because it's an environment where they can escape reality, escape their shortcomings in the real world and enjoy a break from having to compete with the rest of the human race for their place in the world. What is funny is that in Eve, there is no escape. There are fewer game mechanics in place to protect them from their own stupidity and incompetence. They find no respite from the pressures of their fellow man. And it makes me laugh.
So no, the Goons aren't sociopaths. They're simply better. And you don't like it.
