People need to stop blaming players for a ******, boring game mechanic that is called 'mining'. Blame CCP.
Did you actually read OP's post? The problem is ganking, not mining. The problem is the people who only get their rocks off by ruining somebody else's day. OP didn't actually blame anybody.
Of course it's ganking. It's always ganking.



Nah for some titans and motherships are a reason to start whining on the forums.Sov mechanics is a reason to start whining on the forums.Income for empire players is a reason to start whining.

But they changed that far ya didn't they?HTFU , adapt or die eh? The irony of what you guys puke out is just too big.


You do realize that both of those things were actually giving us a tremendous advantage, right? Had CCP not touched it, you people would be whining on the forums about both of those too. And despite the fact that they made the game basically a one-button win for us, we still petitioned to get it nerfed, because that **** was broken as hell.

I'm new to EVE, about a week or so. Can i just ask, why don't miners just join a corp and get someone from that corp to protect them while they mine and offer some of their reward as payment? Are there no corps that offer this kind of service? I find it hard to imagine. It sounds like solo-mining is just asking to get ganked. You will never change human nature, easy kill, easy reward, why not? Its been this way since the dawn of the genre. Ganking just human nature at work.

Coming into this game i expected 'protected' mining to be a thing of the norm, but you're telling me there's hundreds of people out there mining in dangerous space completely unprotected? Makes no sense. :S


Holy **** you all just got called out by a newbie. I'd be embarrassed that he found a solution that you couldn't.


Hate to further dampen the OP sympathizers' spirits, but the first 58 seconds of this video depicts this exact scenario. (Stop the video at 0:58 to feel the full impact of this post).
