Idk, guess our whole game falls apart because miners are like, (how does this bullshit go? ) the lynchpin of the game, and the only reason any of us PvP folks can play the game in any way, or something.

OP, try mining mission belts, and warp out the instant anyone else appears on your grid. For added safety, find two celestials in nearly opposite directions in your belt, alternate aligning to them back and forth as you mine, and you can instantly warp out at any moment. Finally, mine in a low population hi sec system as far from Jita as possible.

I honestly think that most of them don't realize just how much Tritanium is in circulation these days.

Or how often the loot fairy decides to gift us with large portions of it..

Or how much isn't circulating, but being stockpiled. Or just how much of it goes to capital ship proliferation.

thanks for all the responses, I like to here from other players on this. I really don't know all the game mechanic's and now that i see its rigged to pamper the players that can't seem to find others to fight fair I've decided to quit mining . CHEERS


That right there might be the wrong attitude.

People like me home in on these kind of ******** responses.


It ain't just you. I have yet to meet a 'carebear' (whether they pve or pvp) who understands that their behavior is what draws gankers (and scammers and afk cloakers and awoxxers) to therm like flies.

I PVE at will across New Eden and don't get F'd with, then I come to these forums and watch people cry about getting F'd with when they made themselves targets.

It's annoying as hell, I'm not working magic when i keep myself safe from 'bad guys' in EVE, i simply learned the game's mechanics (and observed the behaviors of people who would try to kill me) and keep from being a victim. If doing that is hard in a video game, how do these people survive in the real world at all?


I am the same. I have mined almost my entire career, weather null sec / worm hole, or hi sec. I look after my assets as best I can. I run at the the slightest hint of danger :), but I also do not paint a target on my back.

Question what was the tank on your ship? We're you flying a Hulk? No tank and flying a Hulk is asking to be ganked. Hell even with a tank a Hulk might as well be made of paper.

The Hulk actually has the worst tank of the T2 miners....plus the fact that even having full on max tank the likelyhood of a hulk surviving 3 cata's is rather low. There is a reason those guys use more than a single cata to shoot stuff...b/c they like to make sure it dies.

Even if he was using a properly fitted Mack, they would have just brought in 1-2 more cata's. Though i haven't seen many skiffs getting ganked, but you sacrifice A LOT of yield to sit in a max tank Skiff, compared to a Hulk.

An example of that a good ship icon set looks like.

High-sec gankers have become a plague in New Eden. But I will say something for them, they have given me quite the realization... EVE is not the game for me.

I have.... had hope for humanity, but seriously, this game has ruined that for me. To think there are that many people like that living out our planet. It honestly sickens me.

This is a video game, not real life, it sickens me you can't tell the difference.

so i was ganked in hi sec yesterday by 3 destroyers...even with all my drones trained to Adv.
l5 and a fleet t2 shield harmony boost plus all the fleets drones set to guard my ship...i lost the attack. My fleet boosters drones did'nt even respond to the attack but just before that they responded to some rats that came in. After i lost my ship i docked at the station and thats where the gankers went also, they sure enjoyed making fun in local so i set it up so anyone i my corp could kill them. Well that did'nt work either, as soon as my corp member undocked and seen them he locked on and fired but was destroyed by concord. He tried to dock when they started shooting but got the message ( docking not allowed because he agressed another pilot or something) i guess this game is set up to make no sense to me at all. i checked under my killrights and it was set so anyone in my corp could kill but it did'nt work and so another ship was lost. All i wanted to do was mine alittle in hisec but might be better off in lowsec for all the good it did me. anyone else feeling cheated lately ? Wish i could just once feel like my time and training was worth all the years invested in this game . FEELING RIPPED OFF...Cheers


Highsec is designed to cater to all the griefing mongaloids that can't cut it in low, null or w-space.

You're better off leaving empire space as soon as you can.

I consider myself to be a very casual player compared to other EVE players. I also have not been playing very long.

Even I know, in the short time I've been playing, how things work.

When you undock in EVE you've already been killed, it just takes time to catch up to you. That is how the game is played and it's what makes the game so exciting.

I totally suck at pvp so I stick to mining and pve. Even then I still get a thrill by just being out in the "sandbox" knowing that a moment of inattention can cause my death.

Never AFK and get better or don't play. The choice is yours.

I think he means that knowing that some people get their kicks ruining the fun of others playing a game make him sick. I don't think he is having trouble distinguishing reality from EvE Online. I am not sure why getting blown up by pirates makes mining less fun though. I would think that trying not to get blown up would be the biggest fun one could have while mining.

You can go ahead and interpret it like that but I disagree, the fact that he would base his "hope for humanity" on actions in a game designed to be nothing like real life is the sickening part.

You gotta admit. Geeks who try to make other geeks feel bad when they blow up their "space ship" is pretty sad.

You'll get over it eventually.
