So, as I understand it an alliance who's primary play style is suicide ganking has now declared that they're going to be suicide ganking, as opposed to last week when they were just suicide ganking?

That seems to be the clue yeah, puzzling ain't it?

HS isn't tough regardless what the goons do, the code, any other gankers or war deccers, you know why, because you can simply fly to another part of space and continue as normal.

I have yet to find a war decing corp that will fly 20+ jumps to chase 1 guy in a mining barge. If they do, then that says more about them then I ever could.

As for the goons, code or who ever, if you continue to mine or fly freighters or mission run where they are based then you deserve everything you get.

There is a lots of systems in HS, most of them pretty empty, try moving to one of those systems.

They're not that stupid, you don't mess with the Veld God. His contributions to the Eve community at large probably entitle him to an honourary permit anyway. He's also one of the few players that can honestly say he has powerful friends in nullsec, most of whom use him as a trusted 3rd party, and like explosions.

Besides Chribba is obviously not afk mining or botting, his mining Capital ships are hideously inefficient for that purpose.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

I'll never understand why so many of you share this common delusion that ganking newbs and miners is considered "creating content".

I think so many of you just see a phrase being used often and just repeat it, thinking you sound smart. Kinda like the word 'sociopath' on these boards.

Why are miners so special that they can't be shoy?

You can shoot miners all you want, you aren't creating anything. You are playing a game the way it is meant to be played. The content is already there, created by CCP. You had NOTHING to do with its creation.

Are we supposed to care? They are just a few of easily controlled puppets. Won't have any impact on 98% of people in highsec. All they go after are poorly fit miners.

Thats why we cover it with some roleplaying sauce m8! Truth is, pretty much everything you do in the sandbox is creating content. Even mining out a belt is, since you will be forcing other players that want to mine to relocate.

Not completely true but yes, softer targets are at a much, much, much higher risk level. Really soft targets have been getting rare in my 0.5 stomping grounds though. Almost everyone seems to be flying procurers these days.

Someone doesn't know what "content" is lol.

Anyone else notice that the linked thread was locked and the author sat on the razors edge of a ban. I can't discuss moderation, of course, so go have a peek for yourself.

That would seriously have been the best April fools joke ever.

You thought you'd pass a long a rude diatribe that has been banished and locked from the forums by a moderator for trolling...? No one cares to look at your locked thread. It's just a matter of time 'til this thread is likewise locked.

If you wish to truly wage war on high sec, don't pvp. If their is no pvp their is no loss of goods, prices will plummet as items stack up in the hubs, which will cause production to faulter, which will cause a surplus in minerals, which will drive down the value of ores, which will make mining less profitable.

Ganking more will help highsec, it will only create further demand for goods which will fuel production which will increase demand for minerals which will drive up the value of ore. If you really want to hurt highsec you have to hurt it's economy, and the only way to do that is to stop participating in and inhibit gameplay that the highsec economy is based on.


Some one an iq level need for more than wasting oxygen, congrats.
That's a compliment by the way, someone sees sees some past the " hur dur I blow up your ship and make kb look pretti, and make you spend iskies on new ship."

Indeed to kill cause damage to high sec, people not losing ships and etc will do that.
I play a browser game where anything like tanking modules are worth far less than what's used to build them, targeting and damage modules though automatically cost all of the capsules in you cargo depending on you ship , a common price is like 10b compared to a tank mod for 30m. Because no one loses anything in the game.

If we did this than yeah prices would increase for ships while mins go down. You can see the difference between a widely used combat ship vs an Indy ship.

So Ero acted like a jerk and got smacked by CCP for his behaviour, so it is the fault if hi-sec in general?

Jeez, no wonder I will not live in null, lo - sec full time.

You are aware of the ridiculous irony in your last comment right? "We're going to gank miners because they are mining the ore that might have been mined by other miners who are 'forced to relocate' after they discover that these miners have mined the ore" And BTW drop the pretense of trying to stop botting. You know well that you don't give a woot whether the people you gank are botters or not. The truth is there are far fewer bots in the game than some players claim.
