Then again those who get into these events aren't looking for a challenge.

You know, we're actually doing those miners a favour by ganking them.

Explain the nature of this 'favo(u)r". Or is this just hot air wafting across The Pond in the wrong direction for a change.....................

We're killing off the competition, smart miners will benefit from less competition (for a while at least) and that is always to their favour.

How long or much, well that's hard to tell to be frank.

Ah the irony.

Yet at the same time your shooting yourself in the foot, since competition drives down prices, which means your ships, mods, and ammo would be cheaper. Ah the irony.

Tears > 2-20 mil. increase in ship costs.

One of the biggest complaints coming from nullsec and low sec is the lack of fights and peoples risk aversion. So while a increase in ship cost might not be much to you, it might be to others who are now unwilling to fight because of the increase in cost. As I said earlier, Its like shooting yourself in the foot, then turning around and complaining that your foot hurts.

You have no idea how the game actually works.

Then either explain or get out

An introductory economics course at a local community college will give you all the explanation you need.

Sounds like you need to retake it then. Though I have a feeling you don't actually have a rebuttal or know yourself what your talking about.

We're returning to prehistoric times when T2 ships were rare and people had a blast in T1 cruisers

To understand a game ? No thanks.

1. People who are unwilling to fight when ships are expensive are unwilling to fight when ships are cheap. I have eight years of empirical evidence to support this: not a single time has a single other pvper I've know said "sorry guys, Hurricanes are too expensive, I'll have to sit this one out."

2. High-sec carebears account for a surprisingly small percentage of total mineral production. Of course, this data is only applicable to the point that drone alloys and meta 0 loot are removed. After that point, high-sec carebear mineral output might actually hit double-digit percentage points.

3. The grand majority of pvpers are after kill quality, not kill quantity. If ships triple in price, so will the amount of money we make from loot and ransoms. This might surprise you, but when we play EVE, we're not looking for a deathmatch experience. What this means is that our profits will remain consistent, bringing us to point number four...

This is false but granted that maybe up to personal experience.

People would be more willing to fly a frigate then a T2 cruiser in PVP. Why? Because its cheaper. Hence cost does in fact effect peoples risk aversion Look at RvB as a prime example, people flock to it because its combat in cheap ships.

This is true between the time that drone alloys was added in as well as L4s and low meta refinement as you stated. However since both those have been removed low end minerals primarily come from high-sec miners.

In most cases people will kill whatever they can find. In the end people generally only care about padding their KB stats, quality is nice but quantity makes people feel more important.

Yup, my 2 Billion a week with mining, PI, Missions, and Manufacturing BY MYSELF (we are all independent in Corp) and a few other odds and ends, is just so pathetic.

You have no clue what you speak of TBH.

Your quote of 2 billion a week is about right for a solo character doing all of those things. however the point was not that you could make a ton while incorporating mining, but that manufacturing, market trading, and mission running, make more per hour in hisec than mining.

Oh and you really should tool up to do research agents. Your missing out on easy isk yo

Not for long

whats next kittenageddon?

Special olympics of PvP you are all winners! whats next kittenageddon? bunnyageddon? ibisageddon?

Rokhageddon! That should be entertaining.

There aren't enough of that useless ship around. Mine is only good for Gas Cloud Mining tbh since it can fit 5 turrets and has ok Cargo. That's it. Really.
