What's the point of conquest then? Bragging rights?

Clone pack going up to 150 is good....could cost a little more than $45M though.

The irony is staggering. So you guys locked districts and farmed ISK to pubstomp because there wasnt enough of a turn over of competitive players....

...Meanwhile, new players were getting stomped and decided to give up on the game, significantly hurting player retention and ensuring that the top tier of the playerbase would remain stagnant. Therefore ensuring that the future generation of competitive players would be sparse.

You keep trying to put the problem on everyone else. But each time, it leads right back to where I said it did. Just own up and take responsibility for what you guys collectively did; You took advantage of something to the point that you forced CCPs hand into acting.

Dont blame new players who you didnt give time and space to build themselves up, dont blame people who protested the unsustainable status quo, dont blame CCP. Blame those whos actions brought us here today. Blame those who created a problem that needed solving.



In all fairness, the U.S. political spectrum is so charged and polarized these days that both sides are host to completely unreasonable rhetoric and ideology. When i say "sense of entitlement", and "welfare check", I dont mean to target anyone of any political learning specifically, as both sides are guilty of it.

The "left wing" wants free stuff for the poor as their "entitlements", and the right wing wants obscene, useless procurement contracts and other big government projects to go to their districts as "entitlements". Whether we are talking about giving a $100 of food stamps to someone who doesnt need them, or building 100s of tanks we never asked for, its abuse of tax money that some people feel they are entitled to.

But im preaching to the choir here. Youre a Goon. From what Im told you guys are good at economics.

...Meanwhile, new players were getting stomped and decided to give up on the game, significantly hurting player retention and ensuring that the top tier of the playerbase would remain stagnant. Therefore ensuring that the future generation of competitive players would be sparse.

Prove it.

Show me the exact relationship and how it is the key issue surrounding player retention. And I'm not talking about bogus political theories, I want actual proof.

And tbh, it wouldn't matter if I was running proto, advanced, or standard. I'd take a massive dump on your whiny new incompetent players either way. So this changed nothing, except when I decide to run cheap it's impossible for them to kill anything actually worth something.

What is this insatiable need to stroke your e-peen truly about, why do you continue to do it?

They say when you get married you can either be happy, or you can be right.

I am not yet married, therefore I am making the most of the time god has granted me and enjoying both quite thoroughly.

You say that, but the superiority complex your signature implies suggests to me there is a good amount of projection going on. The direct use of curse words in an insulting fashion also breaks A-typical Goon Troll Doctrine, which normally makes use of the original posters logic and turns it against them to make that person feel truly stupid.


The breaking of this doctrine suggests to me a heightened level of agitation and a low level of competence, which would make you a textbook case for the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

Tell me about your mother.

You say that, but the inability to read into sentences leaves you lacking perspective, if you had asked, I would have said that my signature is that way because of the Legion announcement and how it made me feel. If you had asked I would have said, my previous post was posted as such because i wasn't trolling, I was straight up calling you on your BS. As it wasn't breaking of doctrine, your last sentence is wholly inaccurate. Either you jumped to conclusions or you designed your post entirely around a prefabricated idea of me and Dunning-Kruger Effect.

I see you are avoiding the subject of your mother.

Does it trouble you when this topic is brought up?

You're being silly. Agreeing not to fight had nothing to do with passive isk and everything to do with the fact we were all tired of fighting the same group of people day in and day out for months.

The inactive, inadequate and scrubby players are entirely to blame for the state of things. They failed to create content.

Woooow. You're going to die alone and miss everything fun and cool in life. No other player owes you a damn thing. People don't play a game just so you can have the privilege of triumphing over them. Nothing is owed to you at all. If anything it's in the self interest of CCP to develop a game space that fosters meaningful and lasting competition; so that people willingly want to participate. Instead of blaming other players with such vitriol, why don't you join the voices of the community in providing constructive and useful feedback to the developers?

Because it's too hard for some to come up with meaningful, constructive, cogent arguments as well as potential solutions. Nope. Too hard. It's far more easier to blame others.

Hmmmm, I have to accept Himi as my home boy. Therefore, I must find a way to deter the swarm of goons upon his person. But how to do such an act..... Hmmmm....... I know!!! Bad Rap scares everyone!!

Prove it.

I dont have Dev access to the numbers Dust generates. All I got is that out of 10 friends i referred, 0 are still playing, and all gave more or less the same reason as to why they abandoned Dust.

You obviously have some kind of inferiority complex that is magnified by video game success, so you might not understand this, but its equally unfun to be on the side that is doing the stomping. People like a good game. Suppressing the enemy inside their red line makes for an boring match.

When you are a new player, and every match is either "All the enemies are hiding from me in the MCC" or "im hiding from the enemies in the MCC", it makes playing futile and people just play other games. You may not realize this, but the FPS market is saturated. You dont give people a good reason to stay, they wont.



LOL You are into defecating on people? Thats a little extreme, I dont need to hear about that.

I'm sorry your vision is so narrow you can't see how to make ISK in the new environment. Heck I know even Zatara has some pretty creative plans to continue to make ISK. Players will find a way and passive ISK will be put to bed.

Also, not really "moving over to goons" since I've been there all along. Fact is that Roman, Espeon, and the other leaders deserve their time to run things. What happens to ERA is up to them and it's extremely clear.

Again, getting rid of passive ISK was the plan all along. Just needed a bit more firepower to lay the groundwork for a convincing argument and bluing up all of the best players in the game did the trick. Everyone was so willing to suck at the teat of passive ISK they were willing to do anything to protect it. Even destroy all of PC and everyone's access to it in the process while allying with people that they hated.

So with this are you saying that you manipulated players with mislead ideals of opening up more MH territory and other regions by going 100% blue, yet really your true goal was to go 100% in order to get rid of passive isk in PC, furthermore using your authority as a CPM to guide actual gameplay direction in the favor of your personal ideals of riding passive isk in the first place? Either im crazy or you just completely abused your right as a CPM... and just admitted it...

I find Black, Asian, and White/Asian chicks super hot. I just think that a good hybrid between white and Asian would be a totally hot combo. White chicks face, boobs and butt, with the Asian chicks personality, nose and bod would be awesome.

crydubz rip rnd...

Was that guy serious when he said goons were running dust??

I'm pretty sure Dubbs is a goon

During closed beta a UFO crashed in the forest near Manus Peak and goonfeet quickly sealed off the area. They hauled it back to their home base of "area 69, haha get it? high five bro" and began the work of reverse engineering it. Today they use the stolen tech to oppress the rightful lords of this universe, the PC corps, and deprive them of their ISK and E-cred.
