I have ...I just found this blog and I love it.<br /><br /> I have one quibble with your argument though, people who wield power, are corrupted by that power and abuse that power, this creates ill will which consolidates opposition to that abusive power. Therefore, a new jita controlled by a sufficiently small consortium will eventually create a consolidation of opposition, great enough to challenge it. Now if the game mechanics require a 5 year or 10 year, or x number of hours time investment for that challenge to happen, then yes, the players may say eff this and quit, and the game dies. Or they may get raging murder boners and rededicate themselves to the long road, and work to oppose that regime. <br /><br /> Therefore, if Eve Online sees that the players choose to leave the game, they will of course adjust the mechanics and players will come streaming back, as is the case with fozzie sov itself. I am assuming you know this but have no clue as to what your end game might be, but I will definitely be watching.jkmackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350941958278768531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-47577596795547491452016-04-02T14:10:51.750+02:002016-04-02T14:10:51.750+02:00I don't really see the problem with this.

Year-long, widespread Goon dislike across the cluster was evidently not enough.<br /><br />As regards New Jita, you seem to think that no-one except the New Jita owners will be able to accomplish anything meaningful anymore since practically all the money will be in their hands. But how about you start to blog for (and fund) an even bigger victory than now over Goons: over the New Jita owners. Since they will have an enourmous income which will dwarf even yours, you can show what assymetrical warfare can do. And the rebels need ISK too, you have experienced that with Mordus Angels, no? <br /><br />E.g., not thought through yet but as an idea: Fund suicide smartbomber squads that appear randomly at the undock or the gates of New Jita - ships that are meant to be destroyed anyway cannot really be countered, even if the defenders have far deeper pockets. Carried out often enough, traders will rather pay the NPC tax than lose their cargoes 1 times out of 10. Or, being risk averse, even if the risk is actually lower than the NPC tax. <br /><br />You can help deter the rise of one New Jita, and if one does arise, diminish its success.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-56232378063795717022016-04-01T11:21:32.779+02:002016-04-01T11:21:32.779+02:00http://i.imgur.com/QZoHjHp.png
