EVE Online Leeroy Jenkins

Actually that explanation of what happened is way better than most I've read in gaming blogs, lot's of redactors trying to write about a game they don't understand in a way that the readers think they know their shit.

You are not alone.

Most of the ships were small ones concentrating their fire in the Titans(only 3 went down).

Also, those 3 titans costs as much to buy and manufacture as 500-1000 of the other ships, the value(in ingame currency) of the total loses is stupidly huge.

^ this.

I have a friend that had a working economy *), but he said it needed too much time, so he quit.

*) = semi-automated stuff, so he earned enough to have 5 accounts running simultaneously without investing real money.

But they kinda knew what they were doing, except getting a bit too cocky after the mess up. The human error commited essentially amounts to pressing "cut" instead of "paste" in a pop up menu.

They asked for help but then decided what the heck, we can kill those guys, bring the other guys. Except most of the galaxy in that part decided to hop in and fight against them. Charlie foxtrot ensues.
