You know, if you organized this ahead of time before shouting it out on the forums you might have a better response in here in favor of your silly idea. The truth is though, this will never happen because highsec miners/producers are greedy and selfish. Its why they always lose, because they are always interested in their bottom line instead of working together, unless that working together happens to give them a bigger bottom line.

The funny part is how these "revolutionaries" never stop to consider that people of the New Order...

...just might have more than a few unnamed Industrial corporations that support New Order activities...

...y'know so people stop mining and they have less competition.

No, we're seeing the future birth of the realization that Eve has entirely too many scabs and finks to it to ever work.

You do that. Me? I'm going to continue as I have been, unchanged, enjoying any boost in prices that might end up occurring should your little "boycott" actually succeed at anything. I'll continue researching, inventing, manufacturing, content with knowing how to actually prevent myself from being ganked.

Have fun!

Op, do you remember all the years past during events like Hulkaggedon or Burn Jita, when you came to the forums and looked on local of the warnings about the events taking place? Yet there are still multitudes of Exhumers, Freighters, etc killmails getting posted during these events. I wonder why that is? It is because you have about a snowballs chance in H.E. double hockey sticks of ever organizing something like this, because very few people are willing to play someone elses game, especially when something like a boycott would only improve the non-boycotters(word?) profit margin when you limit their competition. That, and going back to my first point, many industrial/transports/miners have very little situational awareness.. not all, but many.

All miners, manufacturers and marketers cease your activities immediately.
Go mission. Mission. Mission. Mission.

those all-important goods on the shelves for player consumption.

UNTIL THEN, we have standings to raise, security status to raise,
and we can live off what we get doing that OTHER M - MISSIONING.

Quickly, everyone.

Run, buy a ship from your fellows who aren't selling; produced by the industrialists who aren't manufacturing; made with minerals that aren't being mined.

Get ganked running missions, and do it all over again.

Would read again...thank you for making me laugh at the office. Got some weird looks however.

I love when people say "If you don't like getting ganked go play WOW."

EvE is a subscription game. Telling people to go play another game is like saying you don't want to play this one. Get it?

It is better to just unsub your indy chars, or if they are unsubbed already, let them lapse.
I did it a couple years ago.

I do miss them sometimes, like now when I can't fully test the current disaster on Singularity.

But ultimately, you have to choose.
Do you wish to continue to give CCP cash, or do you want to send the strongest message they will understand?

What's disastrous about it?
And why on earth should anyone let their indy chars go just when industry is becoming good?

My motto during the gallente ice interdiction was "When life gives you lemons, build brutixes". I sold 500+ during the interdiction, most at (under normal conditions) outrageous 25% markups on the minerals.

if any kind of pinch occurs on ganking ships, I can assure you'll I'll move my builder to their location specifically to sell them. I see that CODE is using all 3 of my favourite builds, catalysts, brutixes and taloses.

If an arms dealer could ever be said to love any one thing, that one thing must surely be war.

How many market orders can your alts fill at one time? We could use someone else to help manipulate the market during VIP mode.
