Sorry, but this is impossible unless mining is the only activity that you've experienced in the game. I could see a player mining every once in a while for some stress-less ISK making.

Have you ever tried anything other than mining? If not, saying that you have no desire to pvp is like saying you don't like a type of food, even though you have never eaten that food type in your life. Hop into an empty jump clone an insured t1 frigate and do something different. Take a risk.

The simple act of running from and outsmarting gate campers is 10,000x more exciting than mining. You don't even have to fire a gun and you're already having more fun!

That kind of rhymed...

It rhymed quite well, and is catchy to boot.

That's actually really nice.

I am outraged and have canceled all 0 of my mining accounts in protest.

So, uh, has the fishing succeeded in pulling up any miner tears?

Let me give you a basic economic lesson.

Supply and Demand. You supply, but what creates demand?

Destruction.

Thus in the complex world of econ* you lose ships, add risk, difficulty of moving/producing and you get the prices that make it all worth it in the end.

Thus, risk vs reward. The less risk, the less you're going to make, the less it makes sense to do. But it's okay since you can't wrap your poor little mining head around this. Even I am a 4 year veteran miner and understand this. EVE is not for everybody.


Gosh, so charming and helpful. No wonder this game is doing so well with such swell folks like you here.

I'm quite sad that it has come to this, but lets have a brief review. There's probably very few independent miners that have not lost at least one and perhaps several mining barges. Speaking out in the forums just seems to make things worse. CCP has shown no inclination to help the miners. The Goonies are making a ton of money supplying new hulks, and so have no incentive to stop the so-called permageddon.

There are many who say words to the effect, "Well, instead do this or that or something else." That's all well and good, but I for one WANT to mine. i enjoy it (sad, I know) and I have no desire to pvp.

After reviewing the salient facts, I have come to the conclusion that the only option remaining is to vote with my wallet, and as a result, my 2 accounts are now cancelled. Sure, that's just a drop in the proverbial bucket, but I doubt I'm the first to leave over this, nor do I think I shall be the last.

I too am mad about losing less than 500m ISK worth of ships, and shall unsub all my accounts from this cold, dark sandbox MMO because the operators refuse to protect me against the actions of others.
