That seemed to be a premeditated choice to increase participation. <br /><br />Then there was the point of the event, which was to raise ISK for charity, and who has more ISK than the soulless null sec residents you apparently so despise? I know Karma Fleet alone kicked in 5 billion ISK. I put in 100 million myself and I didn't even show up. How much did your corp donate?<br /><br />In any event, people who participated got the full null sec experience, with titans, tidi, additional capital ships, including a few supers (and a Revenant of all things, the rarest of rare supers), and over 1,600 players on each of the main kill mails. It was a spectacle.<br /><br />Yes, you didn't get the exact event you wanted. But this is EVE, we never get exactly what we want. Nobody does.

Only the perpetual "Grrr, Goons" outrage machine at Reddit seems bothered by it, and they certainly spent no time looking at how many Goons were pictured on the list of donators to the cause. Just look at all those Reavers in their Interbus Jackets for a start.

I really wanted to join in on this event but it was scheduled for my 3PM and I work until 6PM so I figured I'd miss the Titan kill anyway... but then, with the Mittens'es Book Deal 'thing' going on, and Gewns being Gewns 'n all... well, I can honestly say I did wonder a bit if that Titan would get "ganked" out of spite... really sorry to see I was right.Turamarth Elrandirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129383421613323047noreply@blogger.com
