I've got a jar of dirt, OP's argument is invalid.

If high sec was removed, I'd be happy. :)

Yes, highsec is the ghetto. Go to any major city and look where the most police are.

this entire thread's just going to be a bunch of month-old miners circle-jerking and QQing about how this isn't hello kitty online, though, so i don't know why i tried.

My hat's off to the guys who popped the OP. I haven't seen this much of a reaction from a victim in a long time. Well done!

I don't know about everyone else, but I know that I'm not alone in this.

I'm tired of having my ships destroyed in high sec while I'm carrying expensive goods. I'm tired of not being able to retaliate against people like the agents of New Order because I lack the isk, guns, and skills to do so.

They call us care bears, but they don't understand that we are the ones who make it possible for them to build their ships. They don't understand that we are the ones who harvest the minerals, ship them, and sell them. And yet, they abuse us. The suicide gankers make it more work than it's worth to mine, ship, and sell.

We might not be the ace pilots that a lot of the Eve community is, but we run the markets and the asteroid belts. If we wanted to fight in pvp combat, we would go to low or null sec space.

Personally, I joined Eve because it looked like a fun space sim, and it's a good game, for the most part, but I recently quit because I don't want to deal with the suicide gankers anymore. I'm taking a stand against allowing this kind of behavior, and if I have to stand alone at first, then I will. It saddens me to see such a great game stained by the company that made it.

I know, a lot of you are going to call me a carebear crybaby, and what not, but I don't really care. I know there are others out there who feel the way I do, and CCP might listen if we all raise our voices together.

I know there have been attempts like this in the past, but we have lacked unity and persistence. I will persist when others tire. I will unite us when we are divided. I will bring the carebears together, and together we will crush the suicide gankers and wannabe Concord agents into the dirt.

CCP will listen to us. They will change. They will submit to the will of the community.

EDIT: I just saw that LackofFaith suggested that I should post this in another forum. Please link it. I don't come on here much, and I don't know which forum you're talking about.

Edit: Nevermind. Found it.

Okay, fine, I'll bite.

We need highsec and relative safety for the PvErs in the game. It is what makes the benchmark against which the riskier activities in eve (low sec missions, null sec ratting/mining/plexing, wormholes, etc.) are based on. We need it as a metric, and we need it because not everyone can always be under a constant level of threat of loss. Even some of the most hard core pvpers go off and rat/mine/mission run from time to time just as a matter a necessity.

With that said, the relative safety of such activities in high security space shall never be zero. This is a cornerstone tenant of the game, and unlike many other MMORPGs, loss in Eve is true loss. There would be no industry if once we got a ship or module, we had it for life (like some other games do). So the fact you are always at risk is also the only factor in your career choice having any chance at success (as a builder/indy type)
