The idea behind sandbox games is that you make your own winning conditions, which is what the goons have done. Personally, I find their stated winning condition hilarious. But then I've never been on the receiving end of it. I don't like PvP, so I don't participate. BoB, and others like them, clearly love it, and this sort of thing is exactly one of the risks they take. It isn't a risk unless bad things happen on occasion. Not sure what my point is, but I gues I'm confused as to why everyone think GoonSwarm have done A Bad Thing (tm). It's allowed by the game, it clearly isn't against the rules, and no-one is forced to play it... EVE is a sandbox game, like you said.
