just to give you some "ideas?"

what if the crew, evaces the ship (rescue pods)?
what if we're using clone slaves, where you buy packs of 1000?
what if we're using humanoid looking androids?

srsly dude... from all your posts.... get a life.... and leave our game alone!

Heh, a few Goons owe me lunch, we expected people to start crying about how people doing this was an exploit and demanding Concord be buffed (AGAIN) days ago.

the vast majority of people i have seen are not complaining about the actual suicide ganking.

that's normal, and part of the game.

however, kiting CONCORD about is an exploit

circumventing the security status system is an exploit

and purposeful misuse of the 'report' function is a breach of the EULA.

three things in one event, that no players should be doing, and the CSM chairperson in particular should know better than to be doing.

so... if you see a goon with low security status flying through your system in their capsule, report them for using an exploit.

though CCP could fix two of these problems by having CONCORD target the capsules of those who enter space that their security status does not allow them to enter and banning those who mis-use the report function (repeatedly)

the kiting of CONCORD is more difficult to prove, but the logs should show when recycled alts in rookie ships are used for this purpose, as suggested by the mittani.

I assure you, i have the ability to speak.

now if you're done with the foolish insults, i was responding to the OP... not the rest of the thread, or maybe you missed that.

perhaps, or perhaps i would have..

you see, i have seen members of your alliance calling CONCORD kiting an exploit.
Circumvention of the security status system in the manner the mittani mentioned in his over-long forum post most certainly IS an exploit.
and mis use of the report function, in the exact manner that the mittani said to use it in the same post, is most certainly a breach of the EULA.

whether or not you agree, that's how i see it.. which is something i am entitled to.
I am also entitled to post my opinions on the forum.

Suicide ganking and mining are basically the same thing- shooting things that can't shoot back and reaping the meager rewards appropriate to such undemanding tasks.

I agree, whining about whining is kindof lame, but the OP does make a good point. If nothing else this event will serve as a learning experience to the ignorant/new miners or serve as an indication to those that can’t stand it that they might want to switch careers.

Also I’m really glad that some forum contributors are writing guides about suicide ganking and sharing tactics/advice. Say what you want about the great mining guides, but they really don’t cover this. I personally learned the hard way, and as much as it blew I’m glad that the ganker got to be before my ships were fully rigged. I hope with all the information being shared that newer miners will be able to learn & adapt from secondhand instead of direct experience.

Still miners are dying. With that info readily available and this late in the event all I can do is really shrug.

However, each represents an opposite end of an Eve spectrum.

At one end, the old ethos of Eve....work, grind, save, and finally afford that new battleship or Retriever. Feel a loss when said ship is assploded.

At the other end, the new ethos......buy a couple of GTCs, convert to Plex, sell Plex, buy pew pew ships.......annoy the crap out of someone. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Slightly skewed point there. If the amount of active terrorists equaled the amount of active combatants in wartime, the number of casualties would be similar. The difference is wartime vs peacetime.
