You don't report bots. You want to keep them in the game for easy isk farming.


Your track record of being wrong with every post is still untarnished.

You should try reporting them like everyone else.

so it's your choice to kill, pod, whatever. It is not needed but "far more effective".

And you want it to be profitable too? Blink

He want the stupid miner who does not tank his exhuer to be profitable. Not the one who used his braincell to tank it. Well it would make sense that way. If even the tanked one is profitable to gank, then **** this ****...

Last thing I want is for barges to be profitable to kill no matter what you do.

You do it to teach people.

Miner tanks his ship -> "Don't fit tank mods. It's not a combat ship!"
Miner doesn't tank his ship -> "L2tank"

No one (except maybe a moron miner) has told miners not to fit a tank.

If a miner gets ganked even with a decent tank, its because they were ganked for lolz/revenge and not much could have prevented it (aside from not mining, which is only recommended if you think you should be invincible).

All best known gankers keep saying I shouldn't be able tank my ships since it makes their job more difficult.

No they say your ship should not be tanked just by default. Leaving all slots empty should not meant your exhumer is tanked. Putting DC II, shield extender and stuff like that should meant your exhumer is tanked.

Battleships used in L4 missions are also tanked by default againist catalyst (all slots empty). Now are you going to whine that "nerf BS HP because they shouldnt be tanked just by default?

You just want to sit in high-sec all day and activate modules on targets that won't shoot back for profit in easy-mode.

Sounds like a familiar mantra to me...Roll

s'pose MinerMan tanks like you say he should. ganking still gonna be unprofitable.

what then? then he got too many slots?

so i'm guessing this entire "make my gank easy" charade is purely for educational purposes?

unless...

you displaying a new kind of stupid for telling miners to tank in a "i can't gank anymore sob" whiney thread.


Or maby, just maby, I like the fact that smart miners get the reward and stupid miners get punished. Just like everything else in this game.

educational purposes it is then.

Well, when you want to eradicate a nuisance you are always best advised to fight it on two separate fronts.

Well congratulate yourselves gankers, you won - hulks are an endangered species in hi-sec and miners are flying tanked. Mission Accomplished.



What she said. We don't see Hulks anymore, mission accomplished.
Actually mining ships can still be gank but you need a little bit more than a 7YO kid behind the computer flying daddy catalyst and knowing where F1 on the keyboard is and hit it.


Lol

But don't worry, there's always Kitty Online for those worderful children.

The same could be said of every single miner coming back to Eve for Hello Mackinaw online.

"Daddy's macky out in the belty welty press f1 sweetie. No don't worry, you're safe."

Those children apparently belong in Eve high-sec. After all, Hello Kitty Online might be too tough for them. Roll

Yes please explain us why is free risk and also why you don't move to low/null/WH.
I know why: you actually like to be safe behind actual high sec aggression mechanics and Concord so you don't loose your uber boat.

Well, sorry for you dude. You'll have to adapt or die, eventually ragequit or just assume consequences of your choices from now on.

It was time.

Ganking may have a risk with next expansion, it always had rewards. No buff needed.


Please, tell us more about how the risks of suicide ganking aren't risks.

I actually live in nullsec, where everyone in Eve is already free to shoot me. However, with these new changes to highsec, if I take something, everyone is free to shoot at me, but I am not free to shoot at everyone.
