Would be really fun if the "carebear" afk miners were to suddenly stop mining...

Because getting your pixel ship blown up in a video game is just like getting raped in real life right?

You are loathsome.



Probably not butt there is hurt all the same.

Sorry, couldn't help it. P



It's really not funny. Trying to equate video game violence with real world rap.e is disgusting.

So I did some mackinaw ganking in the trusty catalyst few jumps out of jita the other day. Yes, for Lols! Does it make you mad?

The thing is, I'm gonna reveal something absolutely amazing here.....

wait for it....


For every mackinaw killed I had to skip about 5 on average because they were too tanky for me? You see that? That's your intervention right there lol


Also, it's hilarious how these "real players" allow a frig to move around the belt scanning one by one, no one flinching or saying anything or warping out. Even when being ganked none were pointed or even attempted to move. Some even continued to pod mine for a while.


These are either some really dumb people, or you know, the other thing that shall not be named. Seriously, you are campaigning to protect this kind of "player"?

I will say with 100% certainty, every whiner here is a serial afk miner, a bot owner, or just trolling.

If you want to AFK mine, fit a mining laser to an It MKV, tank it up and leave it there till dt.

Harlot you might want to get on the pipe to some corpies that actually play the game. I've been watching (OK, AFK cloak with the sound turned up) Triton Industries pulling Gallente Ice for the last two hours.

I'm getting an itchy salvage finger here. Less blather, more gank.

I guess you still haven't checked the price of oxygen isotopes. Just because we're allowing a mackinaw or two to mine ice doesn't mean it ever makes it out of the system. Sorry to disappoint you.

Miners and Traders have something in common in that even though other people are doing it around them they really wish they would just go away or in the miners case get ganked. The miners that do have techniques that keep them safe do not share them just as traders don't share their routes.

When we are ganked it is just figured in the cost of business, definitely not something to whine about on the forums.

[original post removed, I really won't continue]

I gave an analogy - good or bad.

You responded with a personal attack.

Dude I have no idea if you have issues concerning being raped, but perhaps the bulletin board of an MMO is not the best place to work them out. There are professionals out there who can help you.

Actually I thought he was on topic, as he's taken the information you've given in another thread you started and applied it to this thread (that you also started) which it is also relevant to.


Your answer to him suggests you're making threads for the sole purpose of trolling them.

Can the miner ganking be stopped now without intervention from CCP?

Yes. Invade goon space. They'll be far too busy to gank some pointless miners.

Flat out no. Itll end when people no longer want to do it or its not profitable or theres no lolz in it anymore. Will the Ice Interdiction end? Yes, but the when is left up to the Goons and possibly those copycatters willing to continue the practice.

For CCP to intervene to stop it theyd break mining, break highsec and have sealed their fate regarding the use of bots in high sec for all activities.


Whoevers got the Mackinaw bpos in Goons is making a killing atm along while driving up ice prices as an ancillary benefit. Just like Helicity Boson who I am entirely certain owns a hulk bpo has made hulkaggedon a yearly staple to drive sales.

That's right.

Miners have been able to mitigate ganking since ganking was discovered. However, because it's much easier to get a free ride, they will instead play victim in order to get CCP to capitulate, and do their job for them. Considering the direction the game has been heading in, it's much more favorable for miners to not look after their own safety. Mama bear will be there to make the mean wolves go away.

Unfortunately, the carebears grossly underestimate how motivated hungry wolves become. Safety is a concept most fleeting, while they still roam the forest.


I have quoted Destiny here but what I am going to say is a response to any number of players who have made similar comments.

If I was Hilmar and I was reading this I would think "Ok so no matter how hard we make it the suicide gankers will continue to do their thing? And continue to pay me their lovely subs for me to spend on Dust? Great, lets throw a bone to the crybaby miners just to make sure they don't un-sub and move on."

Just saying, if you want people to take your point of view seriously you probably shouldn't be saying that you will continue to pay and play no matter what they do.

    • Are you suggesting that passive alignment actually does anything in Eve?

    Or, are you suggesting that a ship with an active align speed of 75m/s, and that needs to be w/in 10km of its target for 290s with max skills (over 640 with min) can actually do its job?

    Either way... Here's your sign.


    Well assuming that you have no ability to improvise shortly, at minimum that gives you 266s between 'out of range' points along that line.

    Of course when you are approaching 'out of range' you can also turn round and face the other one so you never go out of range.

    There is no BPO for a Mackinaw; they are T2

    Macks and Hulks were released with RMR (2005) and the bpo lottery was changed to invention in Revelations (2006) one year later. This would have given enough time for people to get a hulk or mackinaw bpo by the old lottery system. Its possible but not guaranteed that anyone actually got one during that time period. But if you ask me that would provide the perfect cover to get rid of HUGE stockpiles of these ships through these events and make enormous amounts of isk in the process. And Helicity runs it yearly.

    Just me pondering reasons for in game events.Twisted
