Another threads insinuating blanket bans of every player in an alliance a particular player or group of players dislike. Why does high-sec pubbie filth continually imagine that 0.0 alliances are hive minds where every player does exactly the same thing. Many members of the Clusterfuck Coalition will be in Jita strangling the system, not all of us will be; but let's just go ahead and ban them all anyway. Collateral damage am I right? Its okay if it happens to people who happen to play in an alliance I dislike for nebulous reasons I can't quantify.

How one of them managed to find the phone number of a certain goon's ex-employer and call them up to crap on him is beyond me.

But I agree let's get this topic back on track. Predicting a typical CCP-like unexpected bug in TiDi allows us to blap an ISD member's Polaris frigate resulting in the GMs reacting in a completely over the top manner.

Maybe you should have a talk with Jade Constantine. Seems he was / is in the same predicament and can offer advice on how to handle it.

Because two wrongs makes a right am I right?

Protesting in jita is one thing, crashing the server non stop is considered an attack on CCP itself, not eve online and by law can be dealt with easily enuff with a alliance wide ban.

"It's perfectly ok if we use Jita as a political prop, but if the big bad goonies do it then mommy CCP has to do something~~~~!"

Abloobloobloo. Grow a pair.

10 days left, scrubs. Cry while you can, cause in come the 28th, there will be too many threads crying about this to be heard.

Eve-Online's pubbie population has proven time and time again that they're willing to go the extra mile when it comes to raging about goons. Some of them are even willing to try ruining a goon's life outside of the game.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if thousands of goonies suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced!!!!

CCP will load balance, and then enjoy all the free press they are gonna get about this player driven event..

I dont know why so many people have their panties in a wad about DekCo and Jita. There are other trade hubs that you can buy your stuff at.


TL;DR

Avoid Jita.

I loled at people saying CCP will "take action against goons" if they crash the server.
How about the fix their damn code so it doesnt crash....

Jita will be filled with expendable alts - All watching local.
The only interesting thing Goons could do, now, is not show up.

CCP's response to Burn Jita is the most appropriate and level-headed.

They will reinforce the node.

Actually Jita is already on it's own dedicated and reinforced node so there's not much more reinforcing CCP can do other than to limit the # of players allowed in there, i.e. "traffic control".

/hands knobber some tinfoil

They can add as many as the datacentre can give them. I think they just call it reinforced because it contains more blades than a standard node.

Since EVE's solar system code is all single-threaded, throwing multiple blades at the problem does nothing.

What CCP does have is a few "super" nodes which have higher clock speeds, are dedicated to a single solar system, and some of the top-end nodes are over-clocked and water-cooled. Jita runs on its own dedicated node 24x7. When you notify CCP of upcoming fleet fights, they move that solar system off a shared node and onto one of the dedicated nodes, possibly even onto the super-cooled and over-clocked node.

So many new games out there. Let them work their asses off while everyone else laughs theirs off playing other games.

Get the average players logged in, count down to 10k and CCP might have to scratch a beard or three.

Nope I don't see you getting there either so nothing will change, your fears will result in zero changes to the game by such events, not even sure why there is so much FUD (fear uncertaincy doubt) being cast.

Assuming goon Alts (cheapest method to get self fullfiling prophecy)

The bit I'm interested to know is, if a large proportion of the Goons are tied up in Jita which alliances will take the opportunity to sneak in and do some damage to the Goon systems.

In other words if the fat cats are away will the mice come and play in their sandbox?
