So, GoonSwarm are taking a tax on mining.

The questions I have are:

1. Are the miners going to do something about it?
2. If so, what?


The amount of fairly recent complaints on these boards about the Russians is a good parallel. The general argument was

"Wail. The Russians are more organised than we egotistical disorganised rabble because Hollywood tells us we're better and, Wail, we're getting spanked. It's not fair, Wail, it never happened like this in the movies and I want my mommy to send the bad guys home. Wail"


It's the same here and now. The Goons have taken a leaf out of their book, got themselves organised, got themselves a plan and whilst the Mining fraternity is divided they've been conquered very much like how Clive of India succeeded.

The answer is simple. If you don't like it. Get organised and revolt.

Wailing and whining to CCP isn't the Way of the Sandbox. As I have said before even though this inconveniences me I do have to applaud the Goons.

I was in a Gallente system in highsec with an icebelt, saw 11 ice miners and no goons. Checked back every couple of days and they were still there.

Goons up your game.

Taken from the admin area of Goons website:

"Notes (For goon reference only, marks cannot see this):"

Just in case your in any doubt all payments to Goons for any purpose of sponsorship or protection is a scam.

99.9% of people already know this, this is a help the noob post.

many miners like myself are just casual gamers that afk-mine when doing some work.


No video game should be played afk. Now go back to work before I tell your boss, or your clients if you are self-employed.

Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.

.... Goonswarm Federation has been really active .... what advice do you have for all those miners out there?


Pollo... he learn early on that you should not fly a ship you can't afford to lose. That said, Pollo advise all miners to pay the fee. Small fee Pollo think. Back in Pollo's country, Pollo could not get water with out paying the federales or la migra for it. Pollo think that this is the same with the Goonswarm Federales.

Simple answer, pay the fee. Pollo approves. Think about it, Pollo could make that back in 34.3 days. It's totally worth it.

Ugh, this arguement.... again.

READ MY WORDS TAKE THE WISDOM THEY IMPART AND SHOVE THAT WISDOM UP YOUR NOSE!!!
- Fit a passive shield tank on your mining vessel, if you properly fit it, it will last long enough for CONCORD to arrive.
- Fly with some kind of logistical support, an orca with one Capitol sized shield RR will be plentiful and work fine.
- Don't sit right at the warp in point and mine from there, thats just begging for a gankin.
- Find a grav site to mine, gankers usually don't look for those cause it takes too damn long to find them
- Set some known gankers to red (GOONS as example) and watch local, when you see a red enter system, start running.
- Watch your D-scan if your in a grav site, it will let you know that some one is trying to find you.
- High sec is the most secure relative to other areas of space. This means it is the most secure space in the game but **** will still hit the fan there as well.
- Mining ships are coveted for their ability to **** roids, they are not well known for battle. They are by design weak, so again TANK IT.
- Don't play this game AFK.
- Use your goddamn brain.

Doesn't matter, it will lose publicity, interest, momentum and die. Big smile

as long as killing miners is more fun than mining, people will keep doing it

that alone should tell you something.
