Here is a quote from our beloved CSM Leader regarding the removal of ABC ores from WH
"I'll go ahead and like jump on this grenade cause theres a bunch of angry wormholers who are all ****ed off about it I don't give a ****. Basicly its stupid that you can mine Arkanor 2 jumps from Jita through a wormhole and low risk in my opinion. Uh, on the other hand, you should probably stop panicing because I think in the sucking chest wounds of EVE Online, uh, ABCs in wormholes are stupid for um class 1 through class 4. Class 5 and 6 is fine cause they're going to be more removed from empire. I think its dumb that you can have some guy in a hulk from Jita pop in with relatively low risk into a C1 whatever and get ABC, when ABC is typically something, uh, reserved for extremely dangerous space far from empire. Uh, and we think that its important to make mining a valuable uh profession again particularly with high end ores because their prices crash. I started out mining as a newbie in Syndicate uh getting Crokite and we would all have big mining ops together. Nobody bothers with it anymore except for bots because the prices crash so much. Um, but yeah, I think its dumb that theres ABCs in wormholes, but its not the first order of business on my political agenda. I'm a little bit more focused on things like supercap balance... So don't worry your pretty little heads."
This was taken from the Fire Side chat.
Isn't it great that the current CSM Chairman doesn't have a clue and that CCP are actually listening to this moron.
I'm not sure who is worse, the fool or the fool who follows him.

Edited by: Brooks Puuntai on 10/08/2011 11:29:52 He is right to a point. The reason mining sucks even with ABC ores its available in almost any null system(with upgrades) and all WH. Add to the fact that so long as you align and spam directional there really is no risk.
I do think however he did go alittle over board with no ABC in 1-4, when really it should be 1-2 and crokite should start appearing in 3+.

What makes it most comical is his complete lack of knowledge of wh mechanics in his comments.
2 years in wh's from a c3 to c5 and not once have we had a wh exit any where near a market hub.
And who in there right mind would jump a hulk into a wh to just mine abc ores randomly??
The logistics and ore compression + hauling are a headache on thier own moving ores out of a wh and we only do it to refine into minerals and ship back in for in wh production of cap ships for wh use. (refinery array is way too much waste)
I really cant see how abc ores are having much of an impact on market prices at all considering the amount of effort and time it takes to get the ore to known space market hubs.
Should try looking at null sec sources of abc ores and see where its all coming from to effect market values.

WH space is always -1.0
The lowest of null sec is -1.0
They are both very dangerous places, wormholes even more so because of no local.
0.0 people are beginning to ***** because empire bunnies have an easy way to make alot of isk if you put the time in.
0.0 is alot better for drops and loot from plexs and the like.
CCP have got to start to consider that the majority of its player base is in empire therefore you make those guys happy and keep them happy.

If the CSM actually mattered I might be more than a little concerned that it consists of pompous blowhards with no knowledge of the game outside their little nullsec circle-jerk extravaganza, known exploiters, and botters.
But it doesn't. So chill the **** out guys. ---------------

Drone Regions is the same but also was nerfed heavily awhile ago. Though I do think that drones should be overhauled loot wise to reduce/remove alloy drops. Replaced with something else.
WHs(we are talking c1-c2)are different to 0.0 due to the ease of entrance/exit points in WHs. Where you can mine then immediately jump back to high sec with very little risk(dependant on the WH ofc). Where as with 0.0 its a little more complex due to choke points as well as cost of upgrades, defense, and logistics.

àon the other hand, 0.0 still has a crapton of logistical niceties that can't be used in WHs, such as jump bridges, cynos, hell even titan bridging if you really really want that stuff moved. Nullsec can provide a constant and huge flow.
WHs (especially lower-class ones) have massive restrictions on what can be moved in and out of them ù limitations that also ensure that you can't create a fixed transport route ù and you'll quickly run into limits on how much you can store in that w-space system for future transport out of it. The flow can either be constant or huge (somewhatà until the grav sites decide not to spawn in your system any more), but you really have to struggle to have both happen at once.
Sure, you can find a wormhole, jump your Hulk in and go nuts and then warp outà but at that point, with the time it takes to do all that, you have about as much impact on the high-end mineral economy as an L3 mission-runner (and yes, the risks in doing it with that level of support are quite high as well, but again: the risk arguments falls on its face since it's the same as pretty much all other nullsec). At this point, the flow is neither constant nor huge. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡ you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki

Keep in Mind fellas, your 0,0 Overlords once did what you are doing today. We didnt instantly join the game and go to 0,0 and say this space is ours, we started in crap space in high sec mining kernite like the rest of you. We just dicided not to stay carebears, and to play eve to its fullest.

Oh wow...I thought fixing ABC ores in wormholes was coming *after* we moved all L4 missions to lowsec. Guess I missed the memo on the schedule change.

This.
wh space: *no local *shifting exits *lower refine amounts *high risk, inefficient logistics *dscan every 2 secs *no intel channels (deep blue 0.0 is the safest space there is)
0.0: *local *intel channels *nearly 100% refine *jump freighters/bridges etc - easymode low risk logistics *so easy a machine can do it
tbh nerf ABC in 0.0.

No risk? Mittani is normally quite reasonable but in this case he is totally wrong. Low-end wormholes are the riskiest (lots of traffic) and you can get caught by a recon any second.

Then why would you mine in a WH?
If 0.0 mining is so much better, why would you live in a WH over the ore?
Or is there something I'm missing? Or maybe something you forgot to tell?

Edited by: Cang Zar on 10/08/2011 12:47:31 I wouldnt have thought it, but Mittani actually makes a really good CSM chairman. It seems like he knows how to get CCP to take **** seriously and get them to commit and do stuff the right way.
However, it's quite tragic to see someone actually thinking he knows what he is talking about, when he obviously (to anyone who has actually lived in a wormhole) does not have a clue. I've lived in BOTH 0.0 and Wormhole space and I'm currently living in 0.0, and wormhole space is way more dangerous for your personal safety than 0.0 (unless you're actively going into a hostile alliance territory to mine, which is a ridiculous premise).
The main reason for this, being no local channel and having no way to strategically defend your "space" because the entrances change all the time, but in regards to where they are but also to where they lead. In WH space, you literally could (at any time) be attacked by any group of people, who you couldnt possibly have know would be there, no matter what you did to prevent it.
I'm having a hard time understanding why this isnt obvious to (otherwise) clearly knowledgeable people like Mittani.
IF minerals were to be distributed by "dangerousness of mining them", ABCs should definitely be in WH-space, before 0.0. I really hope CCP actually talks to someone who knows the ins and outs on wormholing, before going through with something like this. They really shouldnt make changes based on what the big 0.0 alliances think they know about it.

very true! just check the turnover of Plush and Glossy Compound in Jita. Not even considering the share of compounds that are not being exported to highsec...
Even if a noticable amount of high ends would come from wormhole day trippers, it's still the most risky profession you can choose for a reward of maybe ~40m/h. Infact every other nullsec activity I can think of earns more with less risk!

Having done a bit of both WHs and quite a lot of Null-sec, the only part of null-sec that is as dangerous as WH space is almost certainly NPC owned null-sec....
I mean, if you are in the middle of alliance owned space, there is practically nothing to worry about mining. A red comes in system, warp to POS, safe. If you are awake and been careful you are practically 100% safe in Null. In WHs, you don't even know they are in system until you see them on scan.
Seriously mittani needs to either provide some evidence to back up his claim that null-sec is more dangerous or he needs to try mining in WHs himself because he clearly has no idea at the moment. -The sword is only as sharp as the one who wields it. Drenzul (My normal internet tag) |

Edited by: Medidranda Livoga on 10/08/2011 13:02:29 You will actually be out of the field BEFORE the enemy is in system if you have decent intel channels. This is a vast improvement of security. Addionally you have the safety of local channel which will show up instantly that hostile is in system if someone did slip through intel channel security. This also allows you to... automate your operations.
