I'm going to make a push to make sure there is a group of Goons at the next Live Event.  Consider this your call to action.  Try and stop me. 
*Throws down gauntlet, leaves.*

You understand people will just stop coming to Live Events if it just gets curbstomped by Goons every time, right? Now, if you are a roleplayer you would consider this a Bad Thing, since there's less player-story interaction. If you think this is a Good Thing, then it is as Katrina says and you are just toeing the Goon party line, lol'ing as you generate tears. So which is it? Live Events are kicking off for the first time in a good while, and you lot just want to take a nice big dump on em. This will lead to less player-story interaction and more internalized circlejerk roleplay as more and more people give up trying to go to Live Events and simply stay at home in their BarPee channels and the like. This leads to a rather stagnant and boring RP scene IMO, and that's definitely not something I want to participate in. If Goons are going to ruin all the major space RP, then I might as well not be a roleplayer anymore. Thanks, Isis.

On the flipside, less reliance on CCP for roleplay opportunities and more creative interaction with other players would be a bonus.

I'm well aware that there are news articles. I'd just expect to see a discussion about the subject matter, not a thread completely derailed about a complaint that you've already brought up in several (and more appropriate) venues. There certainly should be discussion about how live events are run, it should just be in a thread of it's own.

Oh absolutely. Player Events will always exist and be fun. If a person wants to get that event acknowledged and have it impact the EVE story at all though, it will be hard to get CCP's attention. That's why Live Events are important.

I'll echo some of the comments as well; is there a way to split this into a new thread at all? While discussion on live events and interactions with them are fascinating and partially related, I think it'd do better in a new topic, and leave this one for specifically the Minmatar events.

Some good points on two major different topics, but the ideas are too intertwined to separate cleanly. Direct your posting to the new relevant threads :

Minmatar RP Arc and Story
