my suggestion if you want to **** off both CCP and griefers.

Make multiple trial accounts, download a bot program and goto town in a ospery or w/e.

Might wanna use a proxy so you cant be banned by ip address either.

However, they are a serious threat to defenseless asteroids, and some people have had enough of this rocky massacre and try to protect them asteroids from extinction. These protectors may, or may not, have long hair and ships named "Rainbow Warrior".


Ah yes, named after that Greenpeace ship. I kind of like how the French handle that ship, by boarding it and sinking it (I believe) during some nuclear tests they did back in the '90s.

Miners are like children running with scissors, no amount of telling them not to isn't going to stop them.

Its all about the isk.

Buy minerals when prices are low, then gank the Hsec miners in Hulkageddon. Miners are scared to undock thus less minerals on the market and then sell the same minerals for a higher price, voila, instant profit.

That's all.


Really? I'm not scared to undock and mine. I have become quite good at finding quiet systems and have been mining on a regular basis. It's a little thing I've learned called situational awareness.

Besides, if my ship is attacked and destroyed, I have another one on deck ready to go AND enough money to cover any further damages.

And switching it up to do missions from time to time doesn't hurt either.

Do enlighten me. There are a lot of duchebags who apparently enjoy making the life of other players miserable (borderline griefing) and they justify themselves with this perceived notion that High-Sec Miners are a threat to the very existence of EVE Online.


High sec miners are not a threat to EVE, they're just fun to gank and their tears taste good.

But if we don't thin out their numbers they will exhaust all their food sources and the entire population starves!






That and if we let the belts grow too large the space whales will come to feed and kill us all!!! Then only the Chribba can save us all!! Shocked

High sec miners aren't a threat to EVE. It's a preoccupation from the pointless, predictable and boring as **** PvP.
