no. that's utter twaddle and you know it.

how long does it take to train a destroyer and a salvager? the same amount of time it takes to finish the tutorial. when i'm in null outside the station i'll quite frequently see a can with a bookmark to a load of wrecks ready for salvage. they're left there for the newer players to take so they can make cash with minimal skills while training whatever else they want to be self sufficient in low/null sec.

eve is not a game that's here to pick you up when you fall, it's here to kick you unless you get up fast enough. you got kicked, repeatedly, and now we're all enjoying your bleeting.

i do salvaging aswell. on a catalyst.

that could have been ganked and poded in high sec too. why because im a salvager in high sec?

i do missions too. why not gank me in my missions. gank my pod then too. is that an activity that is okay by you?

just because at that moment i was mining, doesnt make me some evil high sec miner bad for game must be podded.

there's profit in ganking a hulk [infact, any mining barge], there's no profit in ganking a catalyst.
nobody forced you to be a miner, you chose to be a miner.

i was in a vexor. with miner iis and mining drones. im gallente i use drones, i can use them for mining too you know?

How about this for a good reason:

You were podded in high-sec because the guy podding you sells implants and business seemed to be slowing down. You don't think it's right that a guy who sells implants can't earn enough to feed his exotic dancers, do you?

Or maybe, he's a miner too. And discouraging mining in general will increase his profits.

Or maybe his reasons for doing it aren't any of your business. It's YOUR fault for getting podded. You only failed yourself. Learn to take responsibility for your inactions. If you found the experience unpleasant, learn how to avoid it.

It's that "learning" part that people like about this game. They don't make it impossible because figuring stuff out is part of the fun I personally like. Quit trying to ruin my game you Goonie!

2 million an hour. while trying to train asap using +4 implants.

i could train faster than low null sec with these implants. dont you get that?

why would i care if they make it worse for newbies to start up by enticing more podding in high sec?

it simply would confirm my choice to unsub was right.

you dont actually want players to be able to go to low or null sec for some reason, what is it some market thing, you dont want new players?

so you lost practically nothing, and you're still crying!

yeah and the 100m worth of implants in my pod.

just because im bad old newbie high sec miner. 2m an hour, influencing marketz. trainz too fast.

seriously, youre ruining your own game.

because i did, not as fast i hoped i called my drones in and died in one second, did warp on my pod and then died too there was someone else there who distracted me. im not sure if they joined in the fight. possibly his other account.

yeah i know lots of ways, well not lots, a few to avoid it now that its happened. apparantly i should never die in my pod.

so why can you pod high sec anyway, if it shouldnt happen?

and why cant i insure my 100m of implants yet i can insure my ****** cruiser?

i dont know what peoples fetish with wow is but whatever.

can you answer me this, if it shouldnt happen, why can it happen, because i was a millesecond too slow on warping out?

im not disagreeing with you. i cancelled my sub and moving on to pastures new, my petition is answered, im literally just posting for no reason at all than to debate the topic of basically ganking and podding miners you find in high sec.

of course, you might consider the subscriptions as unimportant in your quest for player v pod environment. thats up to you. my view is that it is a part of this topic.

im sure someone can find out how many seconds i had to warp out before my pod died. someone said i had 3 loud sound alerts however long that is.

neither my ship nor my pod lasted long enough to even call it a fight.

SAD FACE ROFL

i love mining, including the chance to be ganked, otherwise it wouldn't have any form of excitement at all.

my only gripe with mining is low sec and nullsec mineral values aren't worth much more than hisec and this really leaves no incentive for hisec miners to leave hisec. currently arkonor while more valuable than veldspar, isn't worth the extra logistics and danger of non-hisec space. bistot and crokite are only marginally better than pyroxeres or scordite. this doesn't make any sense at all

there's nothing wrong with being a carebear, unless you demand complete risk free activity in which case eve is not for you so gtfo.

those loud sounds are the waring when shield (sound 1) armour(sound 2) and hull(sound 3) drop below a certain threshold.

on that first sound you should have started spamming warp, or at least align. once your ship pops by spamming warp you'd have warped out and saved your implants.

you decided not to, you stat there like a melon, so they probably assumed you were botting and taught you a lesson for cheating.

if thats the kind of action you want to filter out players, by making them quit because they didnt warp their pod in high sec fast enough then fine. im not going to disagree with you.

lol you are talking about the sounds my ship makes when the shield and armour goes down.

holy **** the fight didnt last that long. i was dead way before that had a chance to even go down.

it was like insta pop are you telling me that my pod has a an alert when the shields go down? yeah i didnt even get the beeping of lock being had

who knows, if they do. the +4 implants training tempted me for shorter training times, maybe others have been griefed the same way and just ragequit. its a lot easier to ragequit with no attachment.

who knows, if they do just quit like me. the +4 implants training tempted me for shorter training times, maybe others have been griefed the same way and just ragequit. its a lot easier to ragequit with no attachment.

why do they have griefing restrictions in starter systems, surely they do that for a reason? could it be so people are not put off of buying the game before their trial is over?

It makes a lot of sense instead.
The more you kill hi sec miners the less hi sec minerals become mined, the more demand makes prices go up.

What you are seeing is actually what happens when hi sec miners are faced with actual risk, while 0.0 miners are not.
If 0.0 miners risked their neck every warp to belt, then you'd see ABC cost 4 times more than scordite and pyroxeres.

i guess a month in and in 0.5 is not being griefed then. ccp agree. everyone agrees.

yet after a month i am as compelled to just walk away as if i had been in a starter system or still on my trial.

if i had known people were like this to people starting out. i would never have subbed in the first place.

griefed? haha.

griefing would be podding you every time you undocked. (infact, no that'd again be your own stupidity for not moving your medical clone, but it'd be closer to the real defenition)

yeah they do it in starter systems for players who are still finishing up the tutorial and haven't been exposed to the basics yet. there's a difference between shooting an idiot, and shooting some one who doesn't understand the mechanics of the game.
