Probably because we haven't actually used "LOL T1 FRIG N00B BLOBS" for several years. At this point Goons have been in the game long enough so that we have a decent core of very rich/experienced players and don't have to do that sort of thing any more. We do, on the other hand, use metagaming exploits that involve social engineering. For example, headshotting the Band of Brothers alliance by turning one of their directors, who enabled us to drop sovereignty in all their systems, steal billions of isk from their wallets, and more billions in assets from their corporate hangars.

WoW is always going to get more press than EVE because there's more people playing it, and even within EVE the number of people fighting, spying and jewing it up in nullsec isn't very large compared to all the people playing it safe in Empire space.

As a final note, Luke McKinney doesn't know jack about EVE. An Apoc (even the Imperial Fleet model) has about the same relation to the Death Star as an M5 Stuart has to an M1 Abrams. No spaceship in EVE can blow up a whole planet or even a moon. The closest thing to the Death Star would have been the Titans as they were originally deployed back in 2007, Those things could wipe out all but the most heavily-armored ships FROM FIVE LIGHT-YEARS AWAY with their remote doomsday capability, which made them damn near invincible. You can imagine what it was like trying to stop the damn things.
