Jihad was one of the best things to happen to EVE, an as much as I have fought them over years, I have respect for what they do/did for EVE game play.

I dont know if this is true, but apparently on Test it takes 4-5 battleships to kill 1 hulk.
I will be shocked if dev's have done it again an given into the miner bots an really done this. EVE is going down the wow route so fast.

3 years ago, just undocking a freighter you had to actually plan your route, an think ahead. There is no need for thought anymore, you see dozens of freighters sitting afk in 4-4 every day, without a care in world.
I was gonna buy myself a second char again but I think I'll wait now an see whats gonna happen, this may well be last straw for me (I hate to be one of those guys), but still I dont play wow games.


I beg to differ:

You will be able to solo gank a hulk if:

1) You wardec its corp in hisec and you catch him in a belt or far enough away from a gate/docking range.
2) You catch him in low sec
3) You catch him in 0.0
4) You catch him in wh
5) You bring 20 friends in destroyers instead of 2 for that special hi-sec jihad gank

Eve is about Capital ships, WiS, Boobs, PI and Isk!

I really don't see the problem. A Hulk will not get an 80k EHP tank. Why are people still crying. Why are you posting this yet again, there is already a 90 page thread on this and all the angles have been gone over ad nauseum.

CCP wouldn't be doing this unless they were losing accounts. People were warned that ganking this many exhumers would lead to a nerf. They didn't listen to reason. You've all have managed to make the game even more safe for carebears because you just couldn't hold back even a little. All miners must die has been the mantra. That doesn't work any more if no one mines any more. Look at the price of low ends if you want to see how effective the slaughter has been. Anyway, permageddon is coming to a fitful end. It has been ruined for all time, the fun has been sucked right out of it.

Ah, a rational voice. So refreshing to see upon these forums. Yes, unfortunately, the jackals never learned how to eat only as much as they needed, not as much as they wanted. While they gorged themselves initially, the brought this fate upon themselves.

Moderation is a wonderful thing.

If the hulk fails to fit a tank it will still die easily enough and given the track record of miners I would say its a safe bet they will continue to be stupid and die in droves.

Hah. Nullspace is a carebear utopia, you all know it.
You're so bored with it the only fun thing you can find to do is troll empire and jihad the clueless miners.

Make Nullspace exciting and you won't even remember Empire exists.

mining is already profitable, have you seen the price of mins ? I stopped building because it just wasn't worth it anymore. Hell even building dreads it costs 2b to build one, an thats ONLY if you have all the BPO's.Sounds like you think that miners should have it all their way, complete safety to do what they want without ever risking anything.

Personally, if you are not prepared to take responsibility for yourself, then you have none to blame but yourself when you get killed in HS... it's damn sure not the killers fault.
