Also, you're not entitled to anything just because you pay money. Don't like the changes, go play some themepark game that suits you.


So hi-sec industry makes you mad?

Of course I am not entitled, but you'd be crying tears if CCP trammelized the game.

I am just voicing my concerns in public so that it is known. Hell for all I know, the ice belts won't be mined out in an extreme fashion.

If my words bother you that much you should just block me.


Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

Guess I missed that part... I thought the insta non-probe scanning was a DEV hack because Soundwave is so bad at it Lol

So these new ICEBELTS are anoms that DO NOT NEED PROBES TO BE SCANNED DOWN? \Big smile/


But gankers will be using combat probes and scout alts to warp directly to you while you mine.

Hope this helps, have a nice day.

And as Darth All Caps has noted, Miner bumping can prevent that last ice-teroid from popping!

Given what we know at the moment and assuming each system has roughly the same amount of ice miners with the same average cycle time, and that most, if not all, ice mining is done in high-sec, we can assume that each ice anom will be mined out in about 1.6 hours (E: probably closer to 1.5 hours given warping, DT, bumping, ganking, etc...)

I expect some competition in the ice belts.

CCP has no sense of humour.

The "risk vs reward" angle is just wrong. The reason high-sec is so popular is because it is so profitable. If you want to get people out of high-sec, you just need to make high-sec less appealing from a profit standpoint (or make low and null much more profitable.)

Of course, if low/null is more profitable, then people will have something worth defending, which means less ganking and more fighting...

Odyssey's resource reallocation might become a huge nerf to ganking. Enjoy it while you can.


Pon Farr Memorial: once every 7 years, all the carebears in high-sec must PvP or they will be temp-banned.
