But even if it was true, how can you do so much trillions of isk out of high sec? Missionbots. One nullsec region can support maybe 2 bots per system, but usually just 1. A busy mission hub system can easily support 100 bots - and it's easy to see that many of them do so if you go and look at sdfadfg1, sdfadfg2, sdfadfg3, sdfadfg4, sdfadfg5, sdfadfg6 and of course their good buddy sdfadfg7 undocking Tengus in sequence.
I keep trying to tell people, this is why there is a Great Wall of Carebear with bears and bots on BOTH sides. The 0.0 bots are actually safer, considering how many hundreds of macks and hulks get popped via the suicide gank.
Do people man those gank pipelines becuase they are truly rollplaying pirates? Even the serious RP crowd is hard pressed to find time to be that thorough as to guarantee the "you go there you die" factor.
Is it bored players? They are in lowsec or ganking bots in high.
Could it be the hardcore neckbeards replacing sex with KB stats? I don't think even neckbeards are that devoted and if they were that horney they would shave and put on a clean shirt and go out.
No, it's MONEY. The only way to get that much gate camping and blobbing going to be as reliable as we see it in this game, is for there to be a monetary motivation for it. Think about how long it takes for a few people to do an open source software project that goes anywhere versus how rapidly and advanced a DARPA-funded project goes. Would you work on software 18 hours a day for free? Nope. For a big haul of cash? Most people would.
That botting, and hence RMT, means a LOT of money, the motivation to shut nullsec out is coming from money. And those who still want to go have to either join the big alliances that bot and RMT, OR become a renter from such entities and pay them more ISK.
I would not be surprised if Hilmar found a horse's head in his bed considering how much money is involved and the kind of RL crime organizations who are already adept at laundering money gotten from "other than normal" means. I hope CCP employees are well armed and trained. (Any who are not I will train for free, btw). |
