You guys do realize that you are basically fracking yourselves in the face by killing miners right?

If you have no clue, then all the minerals, ships, modules, ammo on the market are there because of those miners who actually are bothered to do that boring job most players don't. There are no magical NPC sellers selling minerals, ships or modules. Everything comes from those carebears. Blink

You guys are the ones who pay more and more each time you buy a ship or module because there is fewer and fewer supply for minerals for manufacturers to build. Then there are those geniuses who wonder why mineral market is unstable. Lol

Actually it is a pretty nice plan. Let the zombies compete each other for killing miners. Mineral, module, ship etc. prices rise. Organizers or people of interest (goons?) start selling their stockpile. Related somehow with Jita Burning event? (mad conspiracy theory) Cool

Apparently even a minimal attempt at advancing their own self interest in game is too much to expect.

Once it's more profitable to mine than to do other things for money, you can be assured that a whole bunch of us scumbags will be mining on our alts. Ever heard of the supply and demand curve?

Minerals have remained relatively stable since the game went live. In fact, the only "instability" came as a result of CCP interfering with the market by either introducing new stuff that shifted the demand for certain mineral types (who remembers the Mex boom of 2006?), or by changing game mechanics, such as introducing, and recently nerfing, the drone regions, Pax Amarria nerf, etc. Heck, if you don't take into account what has happened over the last two months, mineral prices have remained flat for almost half a decade. I mean, I can barely remember a time when a Tier 2 BS hull cost over 85 million ISK.

So, mineral prices have remained constant, and suicide-ganking has always existed. What does this tell you, oh mighty armchair economist?

I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

Thanks for letting me know, Mr. Forum Alt. Without your sage advice, I doubt I'd even be able to breathe and not choke on the air.

Every year when Hulkageddon comes around you always see the same threads being posted and most of time people are so completely of the mark its unreal.

People like Hulkageddon because they are getting paid to blow **** up.

It really is that simple.

So this year is a bit different because the goons are helping to sponsor it, I'm more surprised its take this long for them to do it then the fact they have gotten involved.

I'm sure they will be making isk out of it, so what?

Eve is a sandbox, the only limitation is your imagination.

I might not agree with everything the goons do or say, but I will give them a massive amount of credit for making New Eden a more interesting place to live in and for playing the game the way they want to play it.

So, either STFU or do something to stop them, either way all bitching on the forums does makes for a happy goon.

Haven't got me yet. Just takes a few precautions, is all.
My hulk survived the ice interdiction, and it'll survive this. It does help that I rarely undock it, though.

Still. Go, blow up my competitors. Increase demand for my goods. I'm not gonna bawl on the forums over it. Just sit quietly in the back, letting the ISK roll in.
And hell, mineral prices are starting to go up in places after the post-drone-nerf drop of people unloading stashes. I'll just have to run mining ops afterwards.

Yup, my 2 Billion a week with mining, PI, Missions, and Manufacturing BY MYSELF (we are all independent in Corp) and a few other odds and ends, is just so pathetic.

You have no clue what you speak of TBH.

You must be really bored. Why don't you do something else. It's a nice day out there.

Sure. Just stop mining and watch as the isk per hour passes you by ~~ like a soft breeze of wallet flashes, forgone.

Oh by the way, don't just give away our source of power - EVEO forums bitching. They might sto---- ahahaha no they won't.

Hm, the alliance does make gains as tech (in hulks etc) is destroyed. Well, that's what I hear anyway. Sounds good though, more for us ^__^/
