The fun thing...years ago.... Then today I read how bad are miners who don't go to 0.0, figures. That's because being someone who only wants to mine doesn't change when you go to 0.0 AFK mining is one thing, but being horribly surprised when you return and are in station because of being blown up and podded is another. How much people will afk mine in 0.0 depends on various things, but blaming CONCORD when someone catches and kills your hulk/covetor isn't a factor.
"But, but, I didn't wanna PVP, I just wanted to cheat and AFK Bot Mine in peace. CCP, FIX CONCORD~! BUFF MY SHIP!! NERF PVP!!!"
Part of the problem is that mining is so god awful boring that you would have to be autistic or a bot to enjoy it. |

Well, the "solo" ganker is using an Orca to transport the supply of destroyers, so it balances out doesn't it?

Wait, that makes no sense, because they could have another hulk that would make more ISK PER HOUR.

I've just gone back to the OP and read the whole of his massively long winded post, on reflection he does actually make some good points, it's just hidden in hyperbole. I retract my previous comment about him crying.
Going back to a post I made earlier about how I would love to move my PVE operations to lo/null, are there actually any corps/alliances based in these areas that would welcome a PVE player who wants to continue with PVE, has no experience of PVP but would be willing to learn even if it's only as cannon fodder/hero tackle? Or am I still a worthless pubbie who deserves to die in a fire?
I'm a carebear yes, but I'm willing to expand my horizons, I know this isn't recruitment, it's a hypthetical question War hasn't been fought this badly since Olaf the Hairy, High Chief of all the Vikings, accidentally ordered 80,000 battle helmets with the horns on the inside. |

I think the problem is that if they want a primarily pve focused player in nullsec, they're better off just getting a bot. They're less whiny, less prone to spying or corp theft, they work longer hours, and they're less likely to die to stupid ****.

That's why hi sec should not exist. Well, I'm sure they can make a lot more than 10m per hour in highsec. Not sure how easily one would make 100m per hour in lowsec, unless you mean L5s give that.
10M if you move L4 in low sec, so all they have left are L3. 100M/h in low sec is doable in L4 if you know WTF you are doing. Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

I thought this was probably the case but hoped otherwise, last time I was looking in the recruitment channel the only response I got from a nullsec entity was a GSF recruiter who said that PVE wasn't a problem, as soon as I saw GSF my reply was that I didn't have a 500 million security deposit and I'd move my own stuff the convo kind of died.
Please someone in lo/null shatter my beliefs and live up to my hopes, I'm fairly sure that there's many a highsec player that would love to live in lo/null but are put off by the unrealistically high bar you set and the recruitment scams you pull.
I want to believe, I truly do but you make it hard to.

Wrong, wrong wrong.
No NOT move everything to low/0. That gives 0 more isk for free. Take anomalies. Since the grav sites spawn based upon the minerals in the region, the last grav site I ran across in 0.0 had a whopping 350,000 unit rock of Spodumain. It was literally the size of a mothership and I calculated that it would take two hulks almost 26 hours to mine it all.
There is quite literally isk flowing out of the walls and floors in high and 0. To the point where CCP estimates that the economy is adding 36 trillion more isk every month that is being removed. And that does *not* include PLEX. (100,000+ sales last month) That brings the total for February to a positive cash flow of 86 TRILLION isk more than is being taken out.
Inflation is the result. Massive inflation - on the order of almost 100% in two years.
It has to be moved only to low. And in a big way. Force players to meet and interact rather violently in the middle region to make money. And by force, I mean quite literally to the point of removing anomalies and belts and so on. It's been mined for 5+ years and well, maybe it's time for the belts to start being permanently mined out.
Idle all you want. But making big isk will require cashing in PLEX (hoarding it is bad for the economy, after all) or getting your rear end to low and playing the game. |

They only recruit people from the something awful forum. The "security deposit" is a scam. There's usually at least a post a day in crime and punishment from some stupid victim who didn't google the alliance and didn't read their wiki, where it states that the deposit is a scam and gives the real instructions for joining. |

What he means is that beyond the bold and sound claims:
- If you want to join a 0.0 corp as PvEer you are seen as worthless garbage.
- If you want to join a 0.0 corp as industrialist they tell "lol we already have indy alts nor we'll give you access to the POSes".
- If you want to join a 0.0 corp as miner they tell you "LOL no we don't want botters".

A whopping 350,000 unit rock of Spodumain is not isk. It's stuff. Outside of NPC buy orders and insurance, you can't turn stuff into isk; you can only trade it for some isk that someone else already has. Likewise, those 100,000+ sales of PLEX added no isk to EVE. |

He said he was willing to learn to PvP. Most people don't have a problem with PvE. It's not like nullbears don't PvE all the time themselves. What they have a problem with is people refusing to pull their own weight and sit there and mine while everyone else is out dying.

Join a different corp then. They sound like muppets anyway. You're obviously not going to get POS access on day one in any corp though for security reasons.
