Probably not butt there is hurt all the same.

Sorry, couldn't help it.

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

You are loathsome.

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

You're just jealous 'cos no-one WOULD **** you Harlot. Probably better off in a short mini-skirt and a tube-top because buck naked would just scare them off.

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.

Mr Epeen

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

Please try to keep your comments on topic, thanks.

I get it. They are just saying that those people probably have that sort of mentality.

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.

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.

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.

... 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.

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.

Goons v's TEST, that would be an ingame event, Hulkageddon is nothing more than a turkey shoot.

[... ganked ... and Industrialist for many years in Eve its necessary when there is no decay effect. Or else you reach a point where you dont need to produce.

Seems I just got hit by the "lose your post feature"

Tbh its good economics. Freighters, orcas, mining barges and industrial ships that do not venture out of high sec have such a low chance if any at all of dying. The profit margins of producing these ships drops as the market saturation increases until only new players skilling into the ships are the only new buyers making the bpos and production of these ships almost worthless. To spur market dynamics events such as Hulkaggedon and the Ice Interdiction not only increase demand but also boost prices on these ships. Allowing the bpo holders and producers to again make a profit off the ships other than just turning minerals into a ship and reselling minerals in that formula.

Imo there should be more events like Hulkaggedon for Frieghters and larger ship classes and Hulkaggedon should run twice a year.

Before you scream about the miners and poor sods who are innocently ganked just remember that as a producer and Industrialist for many years in Eve its necessary when there is no decay effect. Or else you reach a point where you dont need to produce.
