This is true, we would have all post here and meets would take place in PSN Home by invite only. State only your PS3 Tag and Dust tag and with the DUST contact list I can see if the names are linked.

Bringing it back to topic,
Can we organize enough to matter in The EVE Universe?

Of course we will be able to - This is a major selling point of Dust.

Remember Goons are just one alliance of the 100's in Eve, each alliance is made up of numerous corp's (clans), I'd imagine all these corps will be able to interact with Dust corp's individually, CCP know what they are doing. 90% of Dust players will probably have ZERO contact with goons on a regular basis especially if they don't want it, there are hundreds if not thousands of people we would be able to work for/against instead if you wanted to keep clear of the Goons.

All the main alliances have people in the Beta - You are kidding yourself if you think otherwise. I know I'm from one of them, and there are at least 5 more just from my corp, never mind the alliance.

This link will give all you non Eve guys some idea of just how many alliances there are and this is only the top few.

TL;DR Lots of Goon trolling in this thread - They are not the only alliance in Eve

I'm going to step in here, and point out a few things.

1: Any group of Gamers can be organized.
2: Just because someone thinks they are big news in a game, doesn't mean they are.
3: FPS games go as far back as 1992, and some of us have been playing since then.
4: Shut up, sit down, and think.

The goonswarm in EVE may be big, but they don't run crap. If you don't like it quit, and if you can't adapt, die.

FPS players who are objective orientated and more concious of the goal than the killing will most likely mobilise one hell of a fighting force.

Owning a MIC and setting a squad commander/working as a unit will put us much further ahead, the power of teamwork never fails, even on "Kill Consuming" games such as Call of Duty those who work as a team tend to dominate

console FPS had lots of successful clans and groups. the problem is almost no games has any tools to support clans any more, no I am not talking private matches.

On the original xbox Battlefield 2 modern combat had a great clan system, you sent invites like friend invites, to get into a clan match you would put a map and hit start, when another clan accepted the game was on, you could then send a message to all your other clan members to get in the match to win

these days nothing is in the game. the only things you can really do are useless clan tags.

Derp

Along with Goon there is AAA and CFC on there as well and none of these 2000-9000 member Alliances seem to care about DUST at all. They say Planets will become no fly zones and they will wait it out tell FPS players stop caring about DUST.

Almost every hardcore "team oriented" FPS player will be tuning into DUST.

Nope.

And for the few that do, three months later they'll migrate to another game.
