access to furture stuff even though there is a NDA with the CSM they are magically geared up to take advantage of the NERF

IMHO the announced NERF is going to be blamed on CCP & GOONs collaboration since goons have access to furture stuff even though there is a NDA with the CSM they are magically geared up to take advantage of the NERF & will end on top unfairly. Its does stink o conspiracy doesn't it?

Yeah because up until today we only fielded huge fleets of supercaps...

Goonswarm couldnt fight motherships so they contacted their developers and go then nerfed to have no role at all in game, it didnt matetr people spend years upon eyars with skills and cash to buy one.

- Inmediate layoff of CCP greyscale, its obvious he belogns to Goonswarm and is causign a great harm to our game.

Seriously screw you Homeworld 2, that **** is bullshit.

Okay.. let me get this right. First OP says something along the lines of "A new player influx will never happen in EVE" then goes on to say that only numbers matter and that enough newbies in rifters can kill anything (Wah wah the blob). Which is it..? If there is no influx of new players, where would all these newbies in Rifters COME from?

I will give you this. I think that CCP is bending an ear and listening very carefully to what those in Goonswarm and TEST have to say. They would be monumentally stupid not to. When it comes to recruiting, both organizations have exactly the same ideas and both run neck and neck for some of the best new player training methods and materials in the game. You are talking tens of thousands of new players who have been brought in by Dreddit and Goonswarm alone. Lets just think about that. 10,000 *NEW* accounts is $149,500 a year in NEW revenue from subscriptions alone. Of course, between TEST and Goons over the last two years, far more than 10,000 new accounts have been created. A great many more. Dreddit alone gets between 200 and 500 applications a month, the vast majority from low SP characters who have just started or just re-subbed after a long absence. That means that TEST and Goons represent a increasing revenue stream for CCP.

With that kind of money on the line, you are really surprised that CCP takes a good hard look at the concerns raised by those new customers? Vets on the other hand, either are so engaged and have so much invested in the game that they are likely never to leave, or they get bitter or old or simply not interested so they stop playing. That is a player retention issue. As EVE continues to grow, obviously new player activations out weigh player churn. Vets are also less likely to buy ISK through the Plex system, so while they may get the requisite monthly fee from those accounts one way or the other, they are unlikely upsell them on other products available from CCP.

This is simply CCP listening to their customer base. TEST and Goons are very lucky to have a advocate such as Mittens, but you must realize that Mittens does what any good leader does: he finds out what his constituents want, and then he gets out in front and leads them there. He is very good at what he does, and he has the time and the energy to devote to his cause. There is no conspiracy here, just plain old good business sense and one extremely talented leader who knows how to get his constituents agenda actioned.

Actually that's just the beginning of the conspiracy. GOONS not only control CCP they control much more. CCP actually controls all of Iceland which means they control the Icelandic Olympic Ski Team. The Icelandic Olympic Ski Team have cumulatively purchased all of the English Isles in 1987 which means they control England. The Declaration of Independence was never verified in a court of law meaning that America is still under English control which means they have access to the CIA which is in control of the Men in Black who have successfully overthrown the Zoobadian government at Alpha Centauri and have stolen their spaceships in order to take over the rest of the world!

Sadly your logic is msot flawed, up until now not many people dared or ahd the strenght to poss a threat to Goonswarm/Test/Pets 40k man coallition, these few entities kept the state of 0.0 balanced one not being able to kill the other which kept the game dynamic and fun. One titans are nerfed there no single 0.0 entity capable of facing the Whole 40k man coallition hence it will grow and grow without any check which will in the future make the game unplayable and unfun.

If you dont understand this you know nothing about 0.0 and balance.

CCP has decided to shot themselves and break the fine balance that exited in 0.0, thansk god GW2 is comming.

GëívGëí, not EVE.

I hear Mittani also played an important roll in making the Subprime mortgage crisis happen

I love the goons just because of the amount of butt hurt they have caused you

THE GOONS ARE FUKIN IN AND YOU ARE FUKIN OUT -BY KENNY POWERS
WIS SHITCANNED
SUPERCAPS NERFED
TITANS NERFED
HISEC INCURSION IS NEXT
TREMBLE AND DESPAIR YOU MINDLESS RUNTS GRINDING FOR YOUR NEXT PLEX

I wish the Clusterfuck wasn't the only group of players in the game that actually cares about balance. Rather than quietly sitting on whatever one shot win button they've discovered. The only folks complaining about the Titan nerf are those that are too selfish to see the good this will bring.

Its not like the Clusterfuck combined has one of the largest fleets of Super Capitals in the game, which are also going to get nerfed alongside everyone else.
