That pretty much debunks the hundreds of myths perpetuated furiously about a GSF-CCP connection.
Time to put away your tinfoil hats guys.

The question becomes this: While yes, a T1 destroyer can nuke a mining barge solo...and the bounties paid by the swarm will more than make up for the cost of lost dessies... one must factor in time. You get the same 15 minute global criminal timer for nuking a retriever as you do a hulk, as well as the same security status hit. While it might be worth the time and effort for a dedicated ganker to keep an orca in tow and use it to launch ships for them (so they don't need to worry about ratting to restore security status) when hunting exhumers for a 100 mil payday... is it worth it for a 25 mil payday for hunting barges?
Still, this should keep mineral prices nice and high until CCP's revamp of mining ship roles, tanks and attributes hit.
For most folks it's not about the money.

But but but I thought CCP and goons were BFF's for life? Why would CCP buff mining barges?

I was stunned and amazed this evening as a couple of my bros were lining up a gank on a Covetor and his Itty hauler and the guy was aligned and warped out as they landed. Like he had been using his D-Scanner and saw them coming. The behaviour correction is working!

You see, you're mistaken here. There are quite a few people on these very forums who are specifically asking for just that.
Further, if we have the resources and influence to pay gankers, then thanks to the sandbox, we're allowed to do that. If miners don't like it, they need to make a low or nullsec alliance and work together for protection and profit. Begging for CCP to swoop in and alter the game to fit their play style isn't playing the game at all.
I think those people are in the minority though. Most eve players know that ganking is a necisary part of the game and good for the economy. I just feel a little sorry for the guy with one account trying to make a living in eve and while the bigest alliance in the game seeks to vilafy him in the eyes of the community. He already has the sole destroyingly boring mining mechanic to deal with  And i agree, if you guys have the resources to fund an activity like hulkagedon, they you are well within your right to do so. I just wish you didn't claim you do these things for the good of the game when in actuality, it's just for your personal enjoyment/gain.
Doesn't everyone do things ingame that they personally enjoy? And also generates gain? Why the hell else play a game but for enjoyment.

The 'good of the game' comes in as: dread pirate types have something to do and also makes isk, newbee gonns have something to do, vets have something to do, and miners learn to protect themselves or nerdrage and quit.
Also- THE ECONOMY
Of course they do but not everyone claims that their selfish acts are for the good of the community.
So then who decides what is good for the community? Define: good

The fact is: publicity is good for the game and community. Goons make stories. PC Gamer and Eurogamer don't write about miners, they write about miners getting ganked, they write about epic scams, they write about goons and their antics. Here's some comments from their article on Burn Jita

I don't play EVE and probably never will, but it sure makes some of the best damn gaming news stories.

I agree. I love reading the stories about the game and devs and the community that sounds awesome.

Makes me want to start playing this game again...

I find EVE to be fascinating. It's the only subscription MMO I've ever wanted to play

My God, this is fantastic. I don't want to play Eve, but the emergent storytelling potential of the game is absolutely inspiring.
And so on and so forth. We get all kinds of bitter vets returning after years when they here about the latest stuff going on. This is a good thing.
