That would be 6T total. Could they sustain that?</i><br /><br />Hard to say if they could sustain 6T.. you are not dealing this kind of damage so we don't know. The only data we've got is the data from your project which says 3T is being done, your project at most contributes 10% of that (and whether or not the 10% is directly attributable to your investment is questionable, but besides the point), and goons are still comfortable as there is no tangible impact on their activities as a result.<br /><br />You are also suggesting 10 Gevlons = 3T isk, but you don't take into account the opportunity to kill. Goons would have to provide you with 6T worth of targets per month for you to kill with your methods in order for this to work. You'd also need to be able to pile on enough players to capitalise on the opportunity.<br /><br />That is to say, you are likely to find a saturation point beyond which there are no more targets of value... your project is unlikely to scale damage linearly in line with investment. There will be a tailing off on ROI because there are not infinite opportunities. Whether there is *enough* damage potential out there to hurt the goons in the way in which you are trying to hurt them is an unanswered question...<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-42537089560434602082015-01-13T23:17:17.201+01:002015-01-13T23:17:17.201+01:00"does it really matter if I cause 300B or &qu..."does it really matter if I cause 300B or "just" 150?"<br /><br />last time i checked your kb stats, they didn't support your numbers.<br />so, first of all, you do not cause in any way that damage. your are enabeling it.<br /><br />if i understand you right, you wonder a bit why noone is following your project - well, a 1 to 3 ratio doesn't really make one yell, yeah.<br />1 to 6 would be muich better, but unfortunately it isn't that.<br /><br />so yes, it does indeed make a difference.danielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-866597320596745372015-01-13T21:59:07.449+01:002015-01-13T21:59:07.449+01:00@muqq: please read miner tears on minerbumping.

The most pointed example of that was at the tail end of wrath most of my guild went on a 2 weeks vacation and during that time I was invited by another guild to tank LK 25 and killed him, something that my guild had never been able to do, I felt no sense of acomplishment, whereas in Firelands when I finnaly killed Ragnaros HC after wiping for quite a while I did feel quite a sense of accomplishement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-49434996726674869872015-01-13T19:59:15.011+01:002015-01-13T19:59:15.011+01:00So how does the damage caused to the goons per bil...So how does the damage caused to the goons per billion isk scale?

I think there are a lot of groups out there that are worse for this game. But I'm not too proud to say that you make way more money in this game than I. And you make way more of an impact than I.

Lets face it eve is a srsly boring game made far worse by the professional cunts who take pride in sucking whatever enjoyment you might find right out of it. Roll on a pve version.<br /><br /> Until then the only real joy or purpose from eve is to either troll and grief the stupids who can't do basic research or to troll and grief the scum who pray upon the stupid. Its like the food chain really. You know why men dont get eaten? why our women dont fiercely guard our kids while we go out hunting? cos we teamed up and wiped out all the predators that ate us. <br /><br /> Gevlon isnt alone in this: Goons are predators.

Killing dozen carriers is more exciting and rewarding than dealing with spreadsheets and giving it all away. You get 10% and what do you get in return? Your playtime is consumed by grinding isk and you have no rewards from it (not to mention the reaction of Eve community). You need to understand that is not why people play games. Your goal is not directed to anyone in the Bartle test at all - it's neither killing, exploring, socializing or achieving.
