So, noob comes to EVE, gets griefed out of the game in 2 Months you guys get $35? Noob comes to EVE and is allowed to be unimportant and lasts 12-18 months, you get $185 to $275. I think we can all agree, most EVE people are OK people, they aren't here to be hatefull. They PvP, they be destructive, they have fun. Maybe at most, 2000 people will truly miss the ability to grief unabated. You at CCP on the other hand have missed out over 10 years on anywhere from 4 million to 50 million dollars in revenue because people are being griefed right out of the game. I watched an Interview from Machina yesterday where a CCP guy talked about business models. Show me the business model that says you turn down millions to tens of millions of dollars to accomodate an extreme minority?
You mean the business model where they're a niche game, and the only thing separating them from cookie cutter MMOs is the "harsh" and largely unregulated play styles allowed and encouraged by developers? Eve is a game that is marketed on the point that it is hard, and you want to make it easier?
A lot of people play Eve purely for that reason, not to mention that the vague noob protection you seem to be alluding to would just be abused by older players and our alts.

Anybody else secretly want the next expansion to be goon themed? Goon events like burn Jita and hulkageddon have been helluva more entertaining over the years than CCP-generated content like incursions.
*EDIT: Although I am willing to concede the point that hulkageddon probably hasn't been more entertaining for hulk pilots. Probably.

It's perfect from a lore standpoint. "Concord, stretched to the breaking point by a group of Corporate Privateers, falters just long enough to allow Sansha time to spill in..."
Hehe, that would be epic. Sansha gate camps <3 Maybe lower the sec status for a day. It would be amazing if CCP actually turned burn jita into a live event, they probably won't though, which is kind of sad

If we're going to have real player created content there has to be some kind of player opposition to them, and people like them. Right now EVE consists mainly of assholes fighting assholes, and that's a pretty bad plot.
Not really, plenty of non-goon hulks participate in hulkageddon every year.
Hehe, but seriously, lots of non-goons take part in hulkaggedon. Similarly I'll be in Jita on the 28th, just to see what happens. And depending on what's going on I'll either be helping goons gank stuff or trying to insta-pop their tornadoes with my tornadoes. Either way, it should be good fun.

Let's be honest, we all know that Eve is for all intents and purposes just a really cool forum that happens to come with some crappy space sim attached.
