I can't speak for anyone in leadership ITYOOL 2022, but BACK IN MY DAY :bahgawd: in Finance we tended to inherently dislike any activity that yielded raw ISK in general. The thing most people who play this game don't get is that raw ISK doesn't win traditional wars, materiel does.

evilweasel posted:

it's also that far-flung empire building drains bodies from being at home for home defense, and creates new things we have to either defend or get pushed out of. spending a lot of isk, effort and time (which are limited resources in an organization that is, uh, volunteers playing a bad game) on something other than reigning supreme in 0.0 space is a problem

it's not like we're against an isk faucet, but once it gets to the point of needing significant alliance support the question is "how does this help"

it does not help that pve groups trend towards drama and exhausting the patience of whoever has to deal with them

I would have thought: help our members have fun in this game would have been priority #1. People who are having fun are active and subbed and ready to do poo poo when war is called. It seems like Mittens spends a lot of time bitching about DBM hurting interest in ratting (which is a boring as gently caress, poo poo activity) instead of organizing poo poo so people can go make ridiculous isk in the most fun space in the game. And it's isk so it actually gets taxed unlike a lot of the alternative things people do since null is poo poo income these days. Wormholes? Gas mining? Abyssals? Nada for alliance.

As for isk vs stuff, don't they have a big loan they still need to pay off? Would have thought a potential ~500B a month in taxes if somewhat organized would be a good thing.

Having seen it happen several times already, it was abundantly clear how Pochven poo poo was going to go from the jump.

Also, like I said earlier, Pochven only works with a small number of high-skill accounts. The drama is inevitable for a group as large as goonswarm.

Most goons make money through industry. The thing which enriches line members most, and builds a deep bench of assets that appreciate or can used to build warships, is industry.

Ratting isn't even what makes the alliance most of its funds.

:doubt:

While I don’t doubt that most of the alliance money is generated by this, I find it doubtful the average line member is making their money through industry. It’s more likely a select few are making big piles of isk and others are just getting by.

That's not actually generating new isk though, that's just cannibalizing your own, moving isk from the dumb and lazy to the less dumb/lazy.

Imperium has decent production, 2nd only to Frat, but that's still typically just a few hardcore producers and not terribly relevant for the plebs.

I guess it doesn't really matter, just seems weird to intentionally discourage members from something that is fun as gently caress and also generates a ton of taxes. It's funny how rarely people disagree with (imo) obviously dumb decisions and instead just assume Mittens is always right.

At least Init is a lot more "do whatever the gently caress you want, as long as you show up to fleets that matter" so I guess those that care can hop over (like I did when I was Imperium).

It's usually a good idea to bring receipts for these sorts of things:



Delve is outproducing Vale by 2T a month and most other nullsec regions by 1-3 orders of magnitude, despite Delve mining less than Vale and being about as far from Jita as one can be. 11T is not "a few hardcore producers."

Also, unrelated but a big lol to Impass and Omist for their big fat goose egg. Impass in particular -- it's a beautiful region for PvE.

Frat is Vale + Tribute. 14T vs 11T.

Good idea to have an idea of super basic geography before throwing shade about receipts. I guess you could add Querious and but that's 1) heavily Sib Squad and 2) a pretty tiny amount that doesn't change things noticeably.

The funny thing is production is not a big deal for Frat, most of their isk comes from other sources. They might be approaching an order of magnitude jump over Goons at this point.

Frat is:

#1 in Production
#1 in Mining (by a lot)
#1 in Ratting (by 2-3x over goons)
#1 in wormhole isk income vs Goons/Horde (who are close to 0, altho Init does some). A lot of c5/c6 krabbing is Frat these days.
#2 in Pochven isk (behind Horde, goons are irrelevant here)
#1 in Lvl 5 mission income over the other blocs (by a lot)

Now goons are off to go beat up on fire who are basically irrelevant while Frat looks to add 2-3 regions

I saw all the renters there and disregarded the region (especially because what Frat holds are the lovely unusable pipe systems,) but after looking at the cost indexes, it does indeed look like the bulk of production is in Frat systems. My bad.

As an aside, though, they really hosed up their setup. Morsus Mihi built all those wonderful outposts, but the dumbass in charge of planning put their industrial center... in a former Minmatar system. Enjoy double taxes!
