I started reading this thread, and I got that it SEEMS to be that ganking miners won't be profitable because it'll take too many gankers to accomplish now.

Which leaves gankers a couple options: Gank for fun, and screw the profit, or move on to other pastures in search of profitable PvP. I wish you all the best with whichever path you choose. And remember, in Eve, you must adapt or die. Unless you're a miner, I guess.

the only way to adapt this game for the crowd in question is to completely throw away everything that keeps the people who actually love this game subscribed

Interesting point of view. My only concern is that when someone decides to be the unilateral arbiter of Who Is and Isn't Worthy, bad things tend to follow.

I seem to have missed the part when they made all player ships immune to damage.


That won't happen as long as I'm around, btw.

Suicide ganking wasn't designed to be profitable, it's meant to be an option that let's you punish someone else at your expense. The money you paid for a ship to gank with compared to the money lost by your target was completely off and this change should bring that to a better spot. That said, the numbers can still be adjusted.

So when are you fixing war decs so suicide ganking isn't the only viable kind of sandbox PvP in high sec?

Miners vs. Gankers. That's all we have left. I find that sad. I feel dirty having even posted the amount of times I have in this thread. I am going to wash now.


No, no, no.

Turn that around:

Those days are gone because no-one cares anymore, and the reason for that is 100% legit:

See, real adults don't take a freakin' video-game that seriously, plus they generally have little use for lame-ass e-drama that informs this.

Zerosec is a semi-consensual battleground full of no-life douchebags with monumentally overblown egos. The real sandbox is in empire-space hisec, in large part because of the false sense of security of many of its denizens.

Know how I can tell you've never been there?


I have, just not on this character.

Under the ageis of one of your...errmm..."BFFs" as it happens. (Ook, ook!)

It had its moments (Lucian James is/was an absolute scream on voice-comms Lol), to be sure, but:

It was, overall, the most grating, un-fun, un-rewarding experience I'd ever had in this game, and one I was damned glad to see disappearing in my rear-view.

Next!

Come on, everybody, 100 pages! You know you can do it!

I was hoping for three-figure page count, but yeah.

It would seem that this thread has run its course.

Everyone in this thread, because...

The people who aren't aware of the patch notes/dev blogs will rage-post on the 8th about how the patch introduced a bug that reduced their Mack's ice mining bonus from 100% to 1%.

The shiptoasting will be epic that day.

Now turn your strips up up

Up in the belt, we just locked up
I'm mining my own little thing
You decided to dip but now you wanna trip
Cause another miner noticed me
I'm up on him, he up on me
don't pay him any attention
Cause I cried my tears, for three good years
Ya can't be mad at me

Cause if you liked it then you should have put a Rig on it
If you liked it then you should've put a Rig on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
