Well sublte hint.. high sec is not all eve. If there is such shortage of ice.. then prices will go up and low sec will be profitable even accouting for 2-3 ship loss per week or so.

Just want to point out, we see this as a huge buff for low/null sec ice miners and we have already adapted to take advantage of this change. We are doing just fine.

Walked right into it. Doh!


So you want me to say high sec miners?

I can say high sec miners if you want.


If you can think that about any miner, read your comment above. A miner is a miner no matter where he is, and you just dissed everyone who does the work even in the Goons sphere...useless.

It's like flipping your finger at PvPers for PvPing, because of what they do around Jita. Or the mercs who ply their trade in high sec.

You dissed all of them, because miners make it possible for you to even play EvE. You can't buy what isn't mined.

Be a tad more appreciative, because if you diss enough, your sandbox will turn out to be like a litterbox.

Why not join up with a null sec alliance and reap the rewards of an underpopulated null sec with better ice and relative safety, plus they are almost always looking for ice products so you can sell locally. Seems like a win-win.


because they get a bit pissy when you don't turn up to pvp fleets.

Many alliances have industrial corps that aren't expected to participate in fleet ops. Mine, for example. Most do participate anyway, but not all. Many miners will try pvp when they have a support structure and tutelage that makes pvp less daunting and scary. Almost everyone likes small gang null pvp after a while. But ice miners in our area of null sec are pretty safe unless they do something stupid.

The new Stargate graphics are neat but ultimately are unneeded. A complete waste of CPU processing. WHY CCP WHY>?

When it comes down to it, the pretty spaceships we fly are a 'complete waste of CPU processing'. We could play the game just the same with wireframe graphics like Elite used back in the day. All else is bling, and unnecessary to game play. This being the case, I eagerly await your campaign against 3d graphics in EVE.

Its not my fault 90% of miners out there will not even fit a damage control, or stay aligned, or fly with ecm drones, or ANY tank mods in spare mid slots or even LOOK for ice outside of whatever system they have decided to infest. We can get by if these people quit, they are entirely replaceable.

CCP have added content, quite a lot of it in fact, but judging by your post you seem somewhat aggrieved by the fact that you cannot log in, set your ship and afk whatever.

Why not go after roids? Diversify my man! Try something different.

If you cringe every time they do an expansion, why are you here? Clearly it doesn't sound like you enjoy the game.


adding content by removing things? I want a job at ccp rite nao

Better yet I could just write you a little bit Javascript you can run in browser that shows X amount of ISK slowly increasing. Tapping space will make it increment slightly faster. Everynow and again a little bell will ring and a message will pop up saying "YOU'RE JUST SWELL"

Miners get everything they want out of Eve without all those superfluous graphics or other players getting in the way and ruining everything.

Aren't the number subscriptions pretty much going up every year?



Sure doesn't look like it when you're actually playing, would love to know how many are alts and not, and I doubt anyone over there is going to tell you either way.


Well I know of at least 30 new people playing over the last month (just look at Brave Newbies reddit). So yeah it is going up.

This fantasy that the new system somehow thwarts bots continues to amaze me.

"Oh, guys, they changed the system so now you have to click on some different **** to get to the icebelt. We're hosed, pack it up, there's no way we can make our video-game playing bot software click on something. That's just too complicated."

you mean that game that's hemorrhaging players so quickly they've sent me both 7 days of free gametime, and an offer for 50% reduced priced character transfers etc?

yeah, must be great if they're that desperate to claw back former players.

i'll admit, i patched it and logged in with the 7 days free game time.

within 30 mins i'd been frog marched to a "solo dungeon", i found the concept profoundly offensive, and hit alt+f4.

be thankful, it was honestly the very final nail in the coffin. even logging in to use it as a glorified chat room wasn't worth it. most of the guild i did raids with are still going strong but the game was that bad i'd rather log out than sit and chat to people i actually like.
