Who is the "rest of EVE" exactly, and who represented you to speak for them?

Also- if the Imperium by and large "gives no gently caress what anyone not in the Imperium thinks" why do you think anyone outside of the Imperium gives a poo poo what the Imperium thinks? Spoiler- They don't.

Like, dragondude, please just step outside the eve thread for a second and get some value out of your :10bux:. I understand that it must scare you to venture too deeply into the depths that the evil goons hail from, but - and I understand that this must come as a shock - not everyone on SA is in Goonwaffe. There are a whole bunch of chill posters on these here forums that dislike eve goons, like Xolve, or Uba or Salastil and whatnot, I'm sure they can confirm to you that it's perfectly fine to read and post on other subforums.

Like, if you like video games, I hear there are places on SA you can find likeminded peeps to chill with.


For real, though, please get some value out of your money instead of being some inverse Badhdad Bob on SA :)

I don't "dislike" EVE Goons per se- I just have a differing view than most of them (I've been on both sides of the fence), hearing your average Waffe or ~valued ally~ talk about PL was pretty hilarious before I got shitpurged out of there though. I laughed at the nerds who got dunked in Daras, just like I laughed at the PL dudes in B-R.

Remaining objective to the opposing side isn't really a thing most EVE players 'get' and honestly, then there's that other group that actually has real hate for dudes because of differing alliance tickers.

Horde gets a ton of financial and FC support from PL and I woukldn't deny that. It's direction is entirely up to Gobbins however. If he decides to gently caress off and do other poo poo they're perfectly entitled to. I'd expect them to be up North for the entire campaign because it's the biggest thing happening though.

Tricky to tell. CCP has made some changes that made it less attractive to have multiple accounts a couple of years back (multiple character training possible on one account) which torpedoed their total subscription numbers, but not necessarily their bottom line. What probably did hurt overall was their crackdown on multiboxing software (specifically the broadcasting rules) which made it difficult/impossible to run 5+ accounts of things.

Probably the fairest answer is; they're doing ok, but not really growing.

i guess that's ok, but not great

if CCP could double players (not accounts), eve would be pretty cool

That's something many people never got. Like when CCP cracked down on command broadcasting. They were lamenting how people would unsub their bomber/mining/ishtar alts and CCP would lose money. But alt accounts are (almost) irrelevant once you get into the range of 10+ because those people are in such a minority and what keeps people playing is their interaction with other players. An account doesn't do anything but a player draws other players and keeps other players in the game.

Not unless they have to, they don't like doing it as it makes them pretty vulnerable to stealth bombers.

e: I should add I jammed out 2 different archons in swordfleet today and it was pretty much the highlight. That and getting a bait vindicator that got a bit too far from his fleet.

Querious' money moons under Horde sov are owned by the alliance with all the money earned going into the alliance wallet to fund the ships for the newbies. All the other crews in Querious get the moons in their systems and are off limits for people to hit.

well it's a standard problem in games

to ccp one guy with 3 subbed accounts is $$$ the same as 3 guys with 1 account each (barring microtransactions)

but for actual liveliness and activity, it's not really the same at all, especially if a lot of active accounts are supercap holders, boosters, and cyno alts

I haven't done entosis since the Sisi competition, but generally what you do is sit on the node at 0 and use drones/fighters to chase off anybody who might bother you and only triage if they drop the hammer on you.

Its not a money funnel at all but it is a giant area under the control direction and guidance of a ruling power to create stability, safety and prosperity for the inhabitants.

In the north its called a coalition, down there i think you guys call it a thunderdome cuz the cute newbies get to shoot each other in frigates.

PL made no bones about the fact that the Drone Regions were slum housing and you had to pay rent to Penifsmash. Horde is a different group from PL and newbies need space to learn the basic mechanics of the game.

Saying Horde and PL are separate is kind of like saying the Taliban and Al-Qaeda were different in 2001, or Texas being different than the US. We may all wish it to be true, but that doesn't make it so.

Hi friend, have you ever been in r/eve?

Normally, I'd say something like viewing r/eve as a Goon would be like viewing this thread as a non-Goon, but I'm sure some superstar poster would make me regret doing that fairly quickly.

r/eve is pretty horrible in all regards, there's the occasional goodpost there, but the poo poo you have to wade through to find those gems is often not worth it; however, playing EVE for either side makes you objectively biased to the other side automatically- no amount of hurfing and/or blurfing from ~the enemy~ is going to make you unbelieve what you spent a soul-crushing amount of time doing- despite that, both sites are circlejerks for their respective 'side' to the non-player and trying to convince them (or the opposition) that it's not is just an exercise in futility.

That being said, I'd rather bathe in Ullerm goodposts here, and tolerate r/eve than ever, ever, ever visit FHC.
