I would like to know how to get my hulk back honestly. One of my toons once lost an arbiter to a bug and the only reply i got back was nope, didn't see any bug cant have your ship back, our reimbursement policy is really strict. i realize it was only about 9mil of stuff, but i lost it to a bug, so tell me how to get a hulk back after a player ganks you and it was your fault for not being a pvp ganker. "it's a legitimate strategy (every time I've heard it) is used by people specifically being butt holes for breaking the game and then trying to hide behind the way they broke the rules. Now i realize that this is well within the rules all i see nerfing ganking do is it's going to be done more so that people can make up their losses for having to gank more people. but it takes, what, a few days to learn how to fly a ship to gank hulks and mackinaws in? it took me months to learn to fly my hulk, then more months to pay for it. I had been flying my first hulk a day before it got ganked. so it took me another month to get a new one. it takes what, two days of non full time eve playing to get a new catalyst? i don't mind that it's possible so much as it's horribly unbalanced. create an alt, train a few days, have your main give them the gear or the money for the gear and then a rinky dink little ship or two will net a reasonable profit from it. even if it's not quite like that, all the people I've met that do this that I've managed to talk to are the kind of people who'd do it for no profit. to me that means that this act has devolved to a form of griefing. that's all it is. i'm not purely a miner, especially since hulkageddon came back around. i CAN do stuff that isn't mining. but honestly i enjoy mining and don't think my experience should be sacrificed to those who like to ruin my experience. the same way some people wouldn't like me imobilizing their frieghter by repeatedly bumping it off course from warp in a shuttle or pod.

Can i just ask, why don't miners just join a corp and get someone from that corp to protect them while they mine and offer some of their reward as payment? Are there no corps that offer this kind of service? I find it hard to imagine. It sounds like solo-mining is just asking to get ganked. You will never change human nature, easy kill, easy reward, why not? Its been this way since the dawn of the genre. Ganking just human nature at work.
Coming into this game i expected 'protected' mining to be a thing of the norm, but you're telling me there's hundreds of people out there mining in dangerous space completely unprotected? Makes no sense. :S Holy **** you all just got called out by a newbie. I'd be embarrassed that he found a solution that you couldn't.
honestly sounds like (and looks like) an alt to me. that being said seriously, wear protection.

Uh, yes? Nobody's forcing you to shove sand up your butt. The fact that some people are doing it is making you quit means, yeah, you don't like sandbox games. And no, nobody's forcing you to freaking learn basic fitting, scanning and alignment techniques here in EVE. You're totally free to not do that. Just as other players are totally free to take advantage of the fact that you aren't doing that.
I'd like to point out that it's alot of people doing the shoving, then forcing you to do something similar to the shoving. it doesn't help that the active forum goers tend to be either whiners or kids pointing and laughing.

okay, so here's a possibly new way to look at this. so many people find mining a boring part of this game only there to support your non mining habits... now take out the mining being nessacary as you're now just destroying the miners to get their goods. what will ccp do if the miners all quit because they were all stupid and kept getting destroyed... put in npc hulks for you to gank? i don't like the whole concerted effort to gank you think and i'm getting so effing tired of seeing all this "adapt or die" crud but it's true. if you wanna stay in the game make a concerted effort to keep them from taking aay your enjoyment. are you a casual gamer? for m a large enough corp/alliance of casual gamers so that there are enough of you on at any given time to defend each other. if you're making enough money to pay for this only casually then you're making enough money to buy plex to stimulate your economy...
that being said i enjoy mining. and don't look to kindly on those taking away my enjoyment of mining. you say it's boring i say screw you. just because i don't find flying a plane entertaining doesn't mean i'm going to repeatedly crash your plane and laugh at you.

i'm glad you're admitting hat you are my friend.
first, i realize sarcasm tends to come off as whining. so i'll pretend yo forgive you. second quit trolling it's not becoming.
Besides i'm blowing people apart isn't everyone's cup of tea. i prefer coffee.

To be honest, we'd just find something else to suicide gank. That wouldn't happen though because there are always people eager & willing to mine. Adapt & survive or fail & die.
why do you suicide gank stuff anyays? cause it's fun?
