It would be kinda hilarious if KB coders would write updates to their boards that went out to CCP hourly to download CONCORD kills and automatically update the killboards. :)

See all those epic KB stats fall flat on their faces. Lol

Bat Country very proudly posted up all of our losses when we did our caldari ice interdiction 8 months ago. We have no problem with showing any of our losses.

Alright, I'm outta here. Same stupid yammering arguement as it was 2 1/2 yrs ago when I started playing. It's ALL just a bunch of extremists on both sides.

Miners and Industrialists:STOP posting in these threads.

It's just perpetuating the idiocracy. Let them lie and argue till they are blue in the face.

There just really is not any need for there to be this topic in existence ever again. It will never ever have a different outsome. Expecting one is the "definition of insanity" is it not ?

Maybe if you stopped comparing people who fail to take precautions that would have saved them to genocide, people would stop thinking f you as an extremist.

I agree that it will never have a different outcome. The miners and industrialists that live outside of hisec, and a majority of the gankers, will keep having a reasonable and productive discussion, and a loud and vocal minority, which includes you and a majority of the pure hisec miners/industrialists, will keep trolling and never joining in the reasonable discussion. That will always be the outcome of these threads.

This thread has been cleaned of some off topic and troll posts. I would like to ask that people try to remain on topic, and to try and post sensibly, thank you - ISD Type40.

Excuse me. I used to be a miner, and an industrialist and I tried ganking a few times and failed (when it was easy).

Can I post?

I would post the kill mails and chat logs after this whole Pay attention to us!!! nerd rage event is over. The chat logs will have to be heavily censored though.

Thanks gankers!

i can confirm this never happened.

Confirming what this guy is confirming. Mackinaws don't have 150,000+ EHP. There's no reason to throw that much at one.

I've been ice mining for about 6 hours now in Galentee. I've seen one Catalyst fail to gank a Procurer and one kill a Retriever...

Ugh

Is this really what these forums were in a frenzy over last year? Talk about hype...

So, gankers are 'always' supposed to profit....and want CCP to make ganking them even MORE profitable (see Poetic's Rant above).


But to play, and not be considered 'stupid', miners must be bad, low yield, inefficient miners.


We are expected for some insane reason to do badly at our profession in order to 'survive'. The ganker attitude is so that THEY can profit. THIS is the true un-balance in Eve.

Quite one-sided, no?

The reason why miners got buffed, according to CCP,
is because ganking them never was meant to be profitable.

Smells like fallacy to me, because people did it FOR YEARS
without ANY indication that CCP had a problem with it.

Anyway... the reason why the miningshipbuff has a bad taste attached to it,
is simply because CCP kicked Darwin out of the equation.


The false belief of highsec being safe enough to ...
... autopilot a pod worth hundred of millions ...
... undock in a kestrel carrying 75 PLEX ...
... loudmouth in space ...
... not tank an afk ship in space ... (hello, miner)
... etc ...
... will get you punished, because you fail to adapt to your environment.
Or you simply ignore it.


What CCP did is simply helping those who failed to adapt, instead of punishing them.
I am sure i need to remind you that miners who tanked their ships and paid attention rarely got ganked ...

... oh my, i wonder why ...........


The reason to buff can be seen on the amount of miners today.
Also, the buff to procurers are nice. I have been mining in my procurer on/off since the patch, and it keeps me with enough mexallon with just 5 trips to the basement a day. I started training for exhumers, and will soon upgrade to mackinaw.

People STILL do dumb **** making them profitable to kill, and the new crime system will be awesome and make people able to make a living revenging the ganked

New crimewatch might change that a bit though ?
I'm imagining mining corps competing over a systems belts (it happens often from what I've seen in some areas), then them putting bounties on each other for the gankers to cash in on.

You might get one or two doing this but the bulk will never bother. I doubt they will even put bounties on people who do bother to gank them.
