Exactly.

That's like saying you "got into a fight with someone and won" when all you really did was knock them out with a baseball bat from behind, or with a sucker punch like a ***.

You have to be a special type of spineless worm to do that IRL and a special type of epic failure PVPer to do that in Eve to miners.

Personally, I equate it to knocking out old ladies with sucker punches or baseball bats.


I guess swat teams and special forces are spineless worms. Because they asses the situation, outgun it to the n'th degree, and rush in and shoot.

And you just likened miners to little old ladies.

I am a miner but gank other miners to win market PvP. I say you are a loser for being so shortsighted.

As I stated before... that seams to be the only justification that gankers are able to come up with...

The "versus" implies a two-way conflict.

Ridiculous analogy.
An unfit battleship does not have 80K EHP.

But typical of your quality of comments.

You mean the gankers will have to go back to ganking haulers and making an actual profit instead of getting subsidized ?

What will they do they won't qualify for food stamps anymore ?

I thought the current justification was they "were bots"? I don't think that qualifies them as a player...just sayin. Cool

Does the dev reply need to be posted again? Ganking miners was never ment to be profit. Who says you still cant fight miners? Bring more people or more fire power, but for the love of all that is EVE bring less tears.

Thats why CCP reduced the tank they first put on hulks so they could be ganked for profit still.
