Mining is boring and should be about making ISK. (Its a pretend job)

Ganking is about blowing stuff up and should fun. The ISK should not even enter into ones thinking about it.

If you wanna go blow up stuff. Just go do it and darn the cost.

Miners should not be totally safe from being killed but neither should a ganker be worried about the ISK. Besides making people buy plex to sell for ISK is good for CCPs bottom line.


I also wonder if mining as an activity uses less server resources then PVP combat.

The only people I can see that should be making money when ganking is involved are the ship builders.

Thanks. Its slow and work and had just finished the multiple threads on this topic and wanted to ramble on my own thoughts on it. I don't see why there is so much passion and vitriol on both sides.

So what's your opinion on the fact that one can make isk ganking hulks? All it takes is an alt/buddy to scoop loot/salvage, and reporting your kills to Goonswarm.

If you can find a way to do and make ISK at it, fine. I just don't think that the argument that its not profitable to do it after the changes should even enter into the equation. Heck all seems one simple change to make it profitable again. The Goonswarm could always just raise the payout.

No it wasn't. Don't sugar coat it for him. His head will explode and he'll grow up to be a Goon.

Rest your sweet little head. Its apparent you have no idea what goes on outside the station. Continue station trading.

But I don't wanna be a goon. I don't like their name.

you get the occassional folks that wander in called pirates...outlaws. these are the guys you find robbing your local 7-11 store or clubing grandmother over the head to take her purse while she was trying to walk through the park to get to church on sunday. Yes the cops show. get information you still hanging around you are just screwed. but if you ran you got folks looking for ya now so there goes you Security Rating for being a bad boy. It Happens we move on.

Low Sec is kinda like that bad side of town where the cops will not bother going in unless they are forced to. you loose sec rating...WHOOOPI!!

worm Holes. Mad Max thunder dome.....says it all

0.0 space is kinda like the old days when the mafia ran things and you paid protection money so your store did not get banged up or burnt to the ground and you gotta play by their rules. and if you see someone not in the gang you screw his world over. turf wars and the like.

Lots of PVP all around. Lots of mining to take place all around.
