OP tries to hit Gerald with MASSIVE POSTING.
"TL;DR" shild from Geralds ship repels it.


Before i read all of this massive wall of words, i wish to know one thing:

I myself consider me being a (proud) carebear, because i avoid PvP and prefer PvE action in WH- and HighSec-space.
Nevertheless ... i'm pretty fine with the "there's no save place in EVE" and do NOT want it to be removed.
In fact i consider it as a challenge.

Therefore ... how is a carebear defined in EVE?

I completely agree with everything you've written and i think all these response posts are just the symptoms of the cancer showing.

However i think the solution would be far simpler: let them mine, let them make high sec completely pve.

But remove every kind of profit from it, you want to mine in high sec? Fine, you wont make more than 10ml/hour with a max skilled hulk and orca boosts.

That's how it should be imho: let them do what they wont, just balance the risk/reward aspect.


ur a damn fool

Let me tell what really happens shall i?

PvP pilots make null sec unsafe in any way. So miners who have NO INTEREST IN PVP AS IS THERE RIGHT AS A HUMAN BEING move to safer ground

Then u make grifer alts to get kills in empire

miners quit, prices rise and what do u do

blame the miners

PvP pilots are killing this game, not the miners

Posting to confirm it is an act against your human rights to prevent you care bearing it up wherever you wish.

Gtfo and go play a game more suitable, hello kitty online is excellent by the way.

And of course I couldn't possibley have firends in other none hi-sec corps. Infact I'm in the process of moving out to null sec, you guys play too rough in Hi-sec for me.

I have to admit that I enjoy reading your so called manifestos, yet it almost seems as if you have to convince yourself that you're following a righteous cause.
I personally don't think you're right at all about miners/carebears, but to each his opinion I suppose. I must say that you have some talent though, you write well... =D

also quoted from the end of his massive rant

***It's not enough to know the truth; you have to act upon it. Some say the EVE community is too divided, diverse, and disinterested to act. I'm not worried. I am confident that each of you will do what is necessary. Once you feed upon the highsec miner's blood and drink of his tears, you will be a changed man or woman. You will never again doubt the righteousness of our cause or the rapture found in its methods.***

The exact words of a griefer / goon / test pilot etc

Your words are simply a long winded rant to stir people against miners. Mittani's plan is to bring eve to its knees, do u know what's happening?

NOTHING

Because outside of Jita and goon space, no one gives a damn

Elaborate on the fact that I think that he's writing all of this to justify his ganking habbits? He's so extreme in his visions that I look upon this as either a massive troll, or somebody who's taking eve a little too serious yet is somehow in doubt that he's really doing the right thing. (Ganking miners/carebears and trying to convince everybody that they're the reason that eve has become a little more safe than before and are the root of all evil in eve.)

Well the truth is Eve is pretty ******* dull now. There is a massive culture of entitlement, even though it has become easier and easier to avoid PvP. The conclusion is inevitable, nothing good is happening to PvP in Eve. Nothing good has happened to PvP in Eve in a long time.

If anything the OP is limited in his scope when he describes the issues player entitlement has put on the Eve "sandbox", it is hardly even fit to call a sand box anymore. We have reached the point where an intelligent player can make as much ISK as they want, and realistically never expect to lose a ship.

This is not the Eve online that a lot of us signed up for.

omg r i rly a dam fool?

I think the post the OP was trying to make was exactly what you pointed out: nobody in eve should have a right to avoid pvp.

What i said is: if we really want someone to have that right at least make them pay dearly for it.

As for those worried about prices: more people will mine in nullsec, problem solved and profit for all.

After reading some of that ..whatever it is. I have come to a conclusion he/she is a Goon alt trying to contribute to the destruction of yet another MMO ( any one remember Darkfall ?...no, well the Goons killed that too).

I agree that Eve has become a little dull lately, is this because of miners who are relatively safe? (Apparently not as the OP is ganking them, which takes effort... admittedly, but that's probably why he enjoys ganking them, it's rewarding if you will.)
I think not.

And miners don't really make all that much isk. The real isk is in C5/C6 escalations anyway, and the recently nerfed incursions. Is there any risk there? Sure... there should be. But how often do you get ganked in those huh? I dare to say that it's almost more dangerous to mine in high-sec atm than it is to run wormhole sites with a well established wormhole alliance.

If the goons are killing it then it's better if it dies quickly rather than dying a slow and agonizing death rolling in his own filth and being pissed and shat upon by drooling idiots.

I read almost all of it, and it was a good read, even if it's obvious that it is a Mittani alt and just focuses on miners while also mission runners deserve their share of punishment.

Vocal highsec carebears and mission runners will always try to destroy the balance of this game. I agree in making highsec even safer, but then highsec systems should be reduced, lvl4 missions must be taken to lowsec, and mineral compression must be nerfed so that there is need of miners in 0.0.

There are 2 major problems in EVE:
1. Everything, be it isk or minerals, is too abundant
2. The risk/reward ratio is complletely out of balance, taking risks looks very stupid for a solo player. The solo player that wants to take risks and go to lowsec or nullsec should be rewarded.
