How about this hypo - how many people with revolvers would it take to sink an aircraft carrier?

Except that I think mining barges should have much less tank and should be exploding right and left, and even better I'd like for mining to be tossed entirely from the game. Sound like a "moderate carebear" to you? |

Oh dear.....
So not only do you want gankers to lose their profit margins, But also put restricions on every single Capsualeer to being not able to gank because there'd be no profit in it.
Trammil anyone?
Huh? The OP is a perfect example of how an elite group of gankers can make a massive profit through careful target selection and excellent execution. How would my ideas stop them exactly? I'm really not sure what you are trying to say.
You are the one saying it and you are confused? why am I not surprised.......

Because mining is a mindless unchallenging activity that encourages AFK and botting, because mining is solely responsible for the generalized deflation in Eve, and because miners have no social engagement with the game, and turn Eve into a boring and static place. It's just an absolute disaster in every possible way, and I'd like to see a whole lot more miners blowing up, as opposed to giving them brick tanked skiffs so now they can really go AFK safely. |

And?
You are a mission runner / incursion does that not encourage AFK and botting?

Sure, and I can do the same thing during most of fleet pvp. Which is no relation to true AFK/botting, which is what miners can do. And for the record, during incursions, I actually can't watch Netflix because I need to be fully engaged.
Stop believing the CODE talking points, and try running some HQ sites.

Deflation is a bad thing? I don't understand..
I think the rest of your statement is about mining in hisec. I agree all ore (except for tutorial missions) should be moved out of hisec.

Not disagreeing though, although I am no fan of blowing up miners anyway. (: :) |

The problem with deflation is it drives up Plex prices and devalues all of our current stuff. Mining in low/null is def better though I would like to see changes to force miners to be at the keyboard. Maybe buffed up rats that would force them to bring a combat escort would help. |

The diff of course is that CODE doesn't want to stop mining, they just want to extort 10 mil for a permit. Also, they make loony claims that incursions/missions can be done AFK, and demand that everyone in highsec buy their worthless permits. Also, I don't necessarily advocate blowing up miners (though I do think their ships should get mega-nerfed), and I'd much prefer that people try to engage them and involve them in more enjoyable parts of the game. A lot of them mine only because they don't know how to do anything else. |

You STATED incentive to make profit ganking more common. Yet want to remove the potially biggest profit margin mechanic.
Sounds like a nerf scream to me.....
No, I want to remove an unrealistic and unwarranted ability for cheap gank ships to kill large combat ships. That has nothing to do with adjusting the risk/reward for ganking ships with a lot of loot to drop v. with little to no loot to drop
Enough already.
Tell you what; you take the Battleship New Jersey, without her escort fleet. I'll take 20 wooden-hulled PT boats captained by suicidal skippers. You do the cost-benefit analysis and get back to me, but your ship is going to the bottom. Ralph King-Griffin wrote: "Eve deliberately excludes the stupid and the weak willied."

Closing anti-ganking thread 2112.
The Rules: 3. Ranting is prohibited.
A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.
17. Redundant and re-posted threads will be locked.
As a courtesy to other forum users, please search to see if there is a thread already open on the topic you wish to discuss. If so, please place your comments there instead. Multiple threads on the same subject clutter up the forums needlessly, causing good feedback and ideas to be lost. Please keep discussions regarding a topic to a single thread.
