In celebration of the 4th of July, Jihad Squad's fleet of glorious martyr Catalysts descended upon infidel miners in Sinq L. in an effort to finally rid the region of bots and terrible carebears alike. We also hoped to finally receive our 72 virgins.
One set of mindless fools we came about were two completely untanked Hulks, mining within 1km of eachother. They were quickly dispatched in hilarious fashion as can be seen here:
Infidel 1 Infidel 2
Believing that painting the asteroids with the blood of those who defile them would serve as a good enough warning, we left the area for awhile. Several hours later, after drinking far too much alcohol (we aren't exactly very devout Jihadists) our scout wandered back to look for more targets to hit. And there they were...the two same people in brand new Hulks, 1km from eachother. This time they actually had shield hardeners on at least. Thinking that they might be using something far more sturdy, like faction Invuls, we added one more member of our Mujahideen to the fleet and killed them both...again.
Infidel 1 Infidel 2
1 Billion ISK worth of Hulks from the same people in a single day. The idiocy was almost as staggering as the profit: 135mil worth of T2 salvage & loot. When miners have to ask why they are hated so much, one only has to look at their behavior.

To their credit, they did tank them the second time around...sorta. One would think that a person with even a modicum of intelligence would've added me to their watchlist and said unto themselves, "You know, maybe today isn't a great day to mine afk."

And yet another mouthbreather that I ganked no more than 2 days ago lost his Hulk again...plus his nearly 800mil pod. God has been gracious to our Mujahideen. Clearly, this is his will.
Hi! I'm with... Stupid!
Also, Concord was already in the belt. They could not stop us. I got off nearly 7 volleys and got the pod before I was martyred. Allahu Akbar. Video will be posted this weekend. The Sandbox = Play however the hell you want. |

Why are you not out ganking freighters? The miner ganking is getting old and you won't be able to do it much longer anyways from what's been shown with the new battleship tanks on most mining barges.
Start ganking freighters and save up your iskies. In the grand scheme of things... You're all pubbies. So HTFU."It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses." - Elwood Blues |

Some barges will be buffed to near-BS EHP levels at the cost of mining-yield.
The Hulk, apparently, will not be one of these, and there will always be more dumb, inattentive people who think that those Cattis landing on-grid are there to share their mining--after all, you're "safe" in hisec, and "protected" by CONCORD, right?
Or, as the estimable Paul Clavet used to put it:

Bots will use the Hulk. Players wanting to be bots will use the Retriever. Nobody will use the Skiff - the one with the battleship tank. These Jihadists won't get bored. |

Yes, but our fearless Mujahideen is prepared to be martyred in order to uphold the fatwa against infidel miners. Our holy Jihad has nothing to do with the secular, "Hulkageddon". The Sandbox = Play however the hell you want. |

these same miners that easily get ganked are only concerned about YIELD - yield above all, or maybe as in this case AFK-ability. hulk will still have the best yield and will still be used. cargo exanders and cargo rigs will still be used even though it kills your armor HP. if these miners arent going to sacrifice yield for tank with fittings now, why would they sacrifice a yield hull for a tank hull? |

i agree with what you said here but would like to add that i envision the skiff's future place in mining ops to be ninja mining sov space, low sec and WHs. the high EHP, the lower mass and most likely lower engage warp speed would make it ideal for riskier mining endeavors. (hopefully it stays cheap too) |

If you're at least partially paying attention to your mining, you can use the scanner to avoid wasting a full cycle mining the last 100 ore out of a rock. Strip miners are one of the few mods in the game that can be shut off and restarted mid-cycle. An attentive miner can actually get quite a bit more yield when mining smaller rocks.
edit: In other words, it's a yield increase for active miners. It's hard to fit four tank mods in the mids anyway, no reason not to have a survey scanner if it fits. It's time to put an end to CCP's war on piracy. Fight your own battles and stop asking CCP to do it for you. |

The Hulk is not receiving BS EHP. Despite the smaller barges getting EHP buffs, people will still fly Hulks for max yield & they will still get blown up. |

I don't understand, why do ppl hate miners?
Why would people hate miners and not the angry, no-life, butthurt babies who take their frustration out on random ppl to make them feel good about themselves?
I would think it would be more natural to hate those who are so happy about the fact that they got to annoy someone, or pity them at least. |

Its somewhat ironic that so many who ganks a miner or flips a can does it in the belief he is incurring rage and tears and all that when their beliefs are merely a projection of what their own reaction would be. People with no-life who are frustrated, angsty and butthurt at the world tend to do this kind of stuff because they want to share a little bit of what they are feeling all the time.
pretty amazing is the tard logic these kids come up with to justify their actions. Like scammers trying to distance themselves from their actions by claiming their victims are inferior to them, and somehow deserve it. |

I wasn't held much as a child, nor did my mother breast feed me. My father also refused to come to my football games and my sister gave me wet willys all the time. That must be it.
I supposed you'll be a little more phased when I come back and blow up 2bil worth of your Hulks in 1 day, and then follow you when you move systems and afk mine thinking that you've finally escaped the wrath of the Jihad Squad.
The actual reason I gank you, over and over and over again is because carebears are turning Eve into a bunch of crap. You sit idly in space, not paying attention in terribly tanked ships while doing god knows what else on the side. In most cases, it's not likely you're actually playing Eve at all...rather you're just logged in and sucking ore from poor asteroids.
My job, as a true Jihadist, is to put fear into your heart. Fear is excitement, and Eve should be an exciting game! I want the word "relaxing" to be wiped out of any description of my dear game. It's certainly exciting for me (and profitable, too!) to watch your Hulk turn into a pretty blue-white explosion. I also want you to start using your brain. There are many ways you could have avoided getting your balls ganked off by me, but you choose day after day to do the same stupid crap and expect a different result. Consider us the fist of Darwin, and I'm coming to ram it way up your deep six and cull you mental midgets from the gene pool.
Plainly put: you are not safe anywhere in Eve, and I have proven that even as a -10 player that I can go anywhere I want and gank you, even if I have to follow you to 1.0 systems where your mining the most terrible ore. Keep afk mining. Soon you'll be having to mine in a Kestrel.
Oh, and btw Fabulous Rod, you just made it on the top of my list! Can't wait to salvage your wreck. Cya soon buddy :) The Sandbox = Play however the hell you want. |

I'm not sure what is more pathetic, the obvious delusions you have or the fact that you take pleasure out of annoying random ppl. Part of the reason I play games like this to **** on the butt-hurt-at-the-world kids like yourself. Griefer-wannabe tears are the best tears. IMO justice is infinitely more enjoyable than simply being a d-bag to anyone you can. |

Call me whatever you want, it doesn't really matter. I kill the stupid and profit madly on it while at the same time glorifying our beloved prophet, George Clooney.
On average I make probably at least 150mil a day ganking miners. Sure, I could make more running missions but I'd rather gouge my eyes out with a rusty iron rod.
You clearly sound more mad than I, bro. And no, you haven't gotten any ganker tears from me. I'm actually laughing at your temper tantrum.

I just wonder how much time you winners will dedicate to avenging the obvious butthurt I have caused you here today with just a few simple words of truth.
Riiiight. Since we gank we must obviously be terribly unhappy and live in our mother's basement. Keep that thought alive buddy. I'm sure you feel proud driving around in your Ford Festiva.
Anyhoo, I'm not mad in the least bit. I'm actually quite happy...but I'll certainly be happier once I have a loudmouth carebear's corpse in my cargohold :)

Oh dear, oh dear. My fragile little ego is utterly shattered by your insults and derision. What ever shall I do? Club some baby seals, or steal your nanna's purse for her social welfare stamps? I am so conflicted!
Honestly though, I do admit upon further review that my use of the word "brevity" was an erroneous attempt at applying a quote from "The Big Lembowski". Had it been properly used it would've said "I'm into the whole brevity thing," which falls appropriately into the definition: the quality of expressing much in few words. Thank you for gracing us with your lexical prowess. ROFL. The Sandbox = Play however the hell you want. |

Clowned myself? Hardly. At least I'm man enough to point even such a insignificant mistake. I personally find it hilarious that you'd go so far to dig in my bio to try to attack me. Starting to think that such intense interest shows I'm really getting under your skin, which I find sublimely excellent!

I love the kids who use words that nobody really uses in normal speech in an attempt to sound intelligent. Especially when they don't make any sense, lol.
Another contradiction. Your sig says, "The sandbox: play however the hell you want". However, in this thread you state that:
Daemon Ceed wrote: carebears are turning Eve into a bunch of crap. You sit idly in space, not paying attention in terribly tanked ships while doing god knows what else on the side. In most cases, it's not likely you're actually playing Eve at all...rather you're just logged in and sucking ore from poor asteroids.
so what I am detecting here is that you try to play it with the coolguy sig but in this thread your jealous tears reveal the true butthurt you really feel about the fact that people are making craploads more isk than you while watching **** or netflix or doing w/e. Those stupid! stupid miners! 
btw, its not like it took a lot of effort to click once on your name. Try harder, clown. I see right through you.

Oh yes. I'm sooooo jealous of people making ISK while having no fun in this game. Personally, I'm having a blast and I'm making more than enough to support the lifestyle I want. There was once a dumb carebear who got into an argument w/ me and bragged about how he made more ISK in a week than I made in a month. I said simply, "I'll have what you'll never have. Enough." Then later that day I blew up his ship and laughed and laughed. The difference between us? I actually participated and had fun in this game. He, however, likely did and had less.

but who can really believe someone like you? It's obvious you'll say anything to try and pretend like you aren't a fool.
and yet in your sig it says "the sandbox = play however the hell you want". So you actually contradict yourself there. Why am I not surprised.
apparently you ARE jealous, otherwise you wouldn't be shedding so many tears over those "dumb miners" who are making craploads more isk than you with much less effort. How can you think people aren't having fun playing the game the way they want? For the sake of brevity, I think the main difference between us is that you are just another angry moron who simply tries to be a douchebag to anyone you can. EVE is filled with losers like you who are angry at the world and have no better place to vent your butthurt frustrations than a video game where you are anonymous and safe from retribution. And even in a video game, you chose to pick on the weakest instead of the strong. Mom must be proud.
Personally, I prefer pvp games where skill is actually involved and your opponents present a challenge. Ganking semi-afk miners in eve 3v1 is nothing worth bragging about.

resort to personal attacks and insults? LOL. I don't have to resort to anything, I'm just calling it like I see it.

I love being right about you. Try harder, clown.

Call me whatever you want, it doesn't really matter. I kill the stupid and profit madly on it while at the same time glorifying our beloved prophet, George Clooney.
On average I make probably at least 150mil a day ganking miners. Sure, I could make more running missions but I'd rather gouge my eyes out with a rusty iron rod.
You clearly sound more mad than I, bro. And no, you haven't gotten any ganker tears from me. I'm actually laughing at your temper tantrum.

Your posting is so terrible even for C&P's level of quality. Until your posting quality improves I will be reimbursing anyone who ganks your mining ship and provides an API verified killmail.
Improvement is classified as: 1. Using capital letters, 2. No longer using text-speak and instead fully typing out words, 3. Using paragraphs instead of an eye-pain inducing format, 4. Cease correlating anything someone does in a video game to their real lives, 5. Use complete sentences. |

This is a slight improvement but not enough yet. My sponsorship of gankers will continue until you show sufficient posting improvement. You are also required to edit your former posts so they are coherent and follow the suggested improvements. |

While I made the incredibly common mistake of misusing the word "literally", (should have just said absolutely) my point still remains valid. The fact that you log onto a 9 day old alt (with nothing but "Eve PVP sucks" posts) to cry "ALT!!!" is amusing.
The important things to remember in all this are:
Daemon, Astro, and I are the only gankers in eve. We only do so because of severe social/emotional deficiencies. None of us can read or write. There is no way to make a profit ganking. Anyone disagreeing with you is an angry, butthurt teenager/alt.

Looking at this thread is like going to wal-mart, I can't help but feel vastly superior to all the derps and and clowns I see.

You know, Fabbi -- can I call you Fabbi? -- if you're going to rip on someone else's maturity on an Internet forum, then it will help your credibility a lot to:
A) Stop spewing puerile MMOG-cliches left, right, and centre (could you use that stupid word "butthurt" a few dozen more times? It's not quite repetitive enough, yet). B) Cut out the text/Net-speak. C) Remember that proper capitalisation and punctuation are your friends. Note: All-caps =/= proper capitalisation. D) Post with your main, or bar that due to bans or whatever, then a frequently-used/known character.
Or ideally,
E) Just stop. *******. Posting.
Next! In irae, veritas. |

If I were Deamon, I would probably want this thread to die.
Its pretty funny how it started out as a attention-craving brag thread and ended up as such an embarrassing testament to his mental age. Poor kid must have got picked on in school or something.

Its really kind of pathetic if you think about it. People like Deamon are acting on their subconscious whether they realize it or not, they want others to feel like they do.

I have to thank Deamon for this thread. Although pathetic, its always somewhat amusing to watch shtbags clown themself so hard and repeatedly. Never have I seen someone actually log on to alts to praise themselves in their own brag thread. I can just picture him now, switching his character and scrolling down the thread, clicking the "like" button for every post he makes. ROFL.

The one grat irony of this whole post/issue is the gankers thump their chest about the bad carebears ruining the game, having it to easy, making money for free, being lazy, doing repetive tasks for maney, etc. But, ganking hulks in catalysts pretty much fulfils all of those items as well.
If CCP had not buffed the drop of T2 salvage and buffed the destoyers you knuckleheads would get bored some time. Look I have nothing against ganking hulks, but after the third time it was pretty much the same as mining, hop in ship head out for pretty much predetermined result. Gankers pretty much hide from real PVP by using hi sec mechanics, to allow them to pod move and drop a ship when needed.
Look if you are a ganker and want to kill a carebear, hop in a ship self destruct and then pod yourself, one deadd bear.
I really blame CCP for this since real PVP rarely occurs in this game, we have BVP (blob vs player),Pvp(Player vs player who has no chance to fight back, only victory is escape) , and hte occasional BvB. The PVPers get bored and turn theur rage on the peeps whe really just like the crafting system .
Tl, DR version - Just because you can gank it does not make you intersting, good or better than the minor you blew up, you are a bear just like them, have a nice day. |

Oh you ... still using an alt to accuse others of using alts. Despite what you might think, I am indeed a completely different person (even though I found out Daemon and I are darn near neighbors IRL). However, there is no changing your mind so I'll just leave it at that.
Also, it appears that you play Eve much more on Tempban Darkfall than you do on Fabulous Rod. I like to post with a character that is actually active in game. Your alt's name seems similar to a Darkfall toon you've mentioned in the Eve forums. I guess it's easy to talk with such confidence when you don't log in on that toon.
As far as the maturity claims go, I simply pointed out that while you were claiming to be so mature, you were the only one personally attacking others. Take that however you want For being angry, butthurt, teenagers, the pro-gankers that have posted in this thread have somehow managed to avoid taking the events of this game so personal.
While I might dislike your style of gameplay and do my very best to disrupt it, I haven't gone so far as to insult you on a personal level. But like you mentioned, the anonymity of the internet allows people to be who they are deep down inside, right?
Please continue the "HAHAHA/butthurt/pathetic/teenager/hilarious/ALT!/RAGE" posts from a toon that doesn't even log on in game. Complacency Kills |

However this won't happen, as a large number of miners are either carebears (and want CCP to do everything for them) or new and uninformed.
I look forward to the day when it becomes hard to gank a miner because they take measures to protect themselves (happens about 1/25 that I see, wish it was 24/25). |

The best part is, it doesn't matter what you say because we both know that everything i'm saying is true, nomatter how many smileys you type in denial. Its hilarious the lengths you will go to while (badly)pretending you aren't an alt. Being such a derp, its no wonder you are butthurt at the world.
I still laugh every time when I think about you logging on alts to praise yourself because nobody else would. BAAHAHAAHAHAHAAA!!  |

Oh yes. I am so dearly and dreadfully sad. Can I get a big ole gay carebear hug from you, Rod? Hold me tight. Tell me it will be ok, that I can find salvation in veldspar and finally make friends by not shooting carebears in the face.
While I await your response, I'm going to fap to your posts for a spell. The bluster and ridiculous alt-conspiracy theories are about as shockingly fake as **** star moans...but somehow gets me just as aroused. If you weren't so good at sh#tpoasting, it almost wouldn't be worth wasting the lube. And tbqh, the only one really being mocked in this thread is you, since it's obvious that you're the one trying to backup your smacktalk with alts, lol.
Your likes, or lack thereof, alone shows how ineffective you are at posting anything worth reading LOL.

Well said. I also notice that most (not all) of the self proclaimed 'carebear gankers' that rant and rave about carebears not pvping, don't actually do much pvp themselves! They aren't looking for a fight, which most of low sec and just about all of 0.0 is willing to give them, and the KB's tend to reflect that when you actually look it up.
I respect pvp'rs in general, but tend to lose most of that respect for anyone who just wants to play angles or exploits (yep, I used that E word) which muddy up the game. Slowly working my way from indy to pvp more as time becomes available (kids getting older, less constant maintenance), and having fun with it.
(as a note, I am in no way defending 0 tanked hulk pilots that let THREE unknown destroyers get that close to them. If you are in a system lower than .7 you should not even let 1 dessie get closer than grid spawn before warping.) |

I do regular pvp a-plenty. Check my killboard. However, my home is sometimes a little...dead. Stuff doesn't survive there long and the neighbors never bring us pies when they move into the neighborhood. Also flying a Hurricane out to highsec as a -10 is a little, how do you say, problematic. Therefore I'll take whatever advantage I can of easy targets when and if they provide an opportunity. I don't PLEX my account or pay $15/month to sit with my thumb up my bum.
Just for lulz though, last week I jumped into a highsec with another of my buddies in Catalysts. We said in local "[Insert Victims Name], we are coming to gank your Hulk! We are in warp now. We're landing. We're shooting you. You're dying. Your pod is still there. We are shooting your pod!" Also my ship was named "GonnaGankUrHulk", which would've been clearly visible on d-scan in a quiet system of 5 residents. Think the target even tried to warp off? Nope. I gave him every opportunity to avoid death, but I did it this way to moreso prove a point than to save him from an embarrassing Hulk loss.

Also, the fact that you have dedicated LISAxANNEs entire post history to praising and defending your clown-self in this thread is pretty comically embarrassing too. ROFL!
Hulk pilots can easily make up for their losses while afk, doing housework or watching movies or getting laid. Doesn't require nearly as much effort as you put into ganking them nor prep work and is immensely more profitable. Imagine if you weren't a poor jealous scrub, you could afford to do real pvp in EVE instead of ganking people in high-sec who don't stand a chance 3v1. These miners probably have other chars that they do real pvp on instead of the brainless, zero-risk gangbanging that you do. I guess that level of thought is too complicated for you, having the mental capacity of a beansprout. Funny how clowns like you pat themselves on the back for what most people won't bother with or won't stoop to.
the below is quoted for truth.

As stated, those guys I have no pity for. They give honest hard working miners like myself a bad name. I do have some problems with a few of the abuse-able mechanics of the game (like suicide ganking in 20mil ships being even possible in high sec vs 1 bil ships. No risk / reward balance there), but CCP has slowly but surely been addressing things like this over time. The threat of being ganked should ALWAYS be in the game, even in High Sec. However, up until recently (and still now, although not as much), it was always in favor of the pirate (Orca exploit, suicide ganking in majorly cheap ships, etc) with no risk whatsoever, or negligible at best. If you want to suicide gank, and you are forced into a T2 hurricane to do it, at least there is a noticeable cost involved. If you have a case of red-flag on you, and you jump into an Orca, even to ship change... and the Orca gets flagged for being involved... there is a notable risk involved.
Changes like that would help a ton. My experience in 0.0 has been ... well... not much more than 0.0, but a change I would love to see there as well is treating Local channel like WH space. From what I have been able to learn, it would make life much more interesting out there. 
P.S.: Nice role playing with all the infidel speeches btw. |

This post is very bad CCP has been taking risk out of highsec every patch almost. Does not live in 0.0 but makes suggestions to "fix/improve" it, check. Whines about cheap ships killing expensive ships, check. Claims ganking in highsec is an exploit, check. Claims their is no risk in ganking in highsec, check. Contradicts self multiple times, check.
One more terrible post like that and my ganking sponsorship will be extended to you. |

hmm, this post wasn't nearly as thought out as your last two.

I understand, you probably feel like you have to overcompensate when those stupid, dumb-dumb miners are ruining the game by making craploads more isk than you. If its any consolation, you do make an excellent clown.  |

a) I'm afraid I still don't see the contradiction. Unless you are trying to say that because I mine I don't 'work hard' like a pvp'r I guess does? I disagree with you. I will say that FC's and Corp Officers (due to all of the micromanaging), are the only ones that I think actually work in the true sense of the word, in this game. All of the rest, no matter what they do, are playing. But it is after all, a game. If you don't enjoy mining, that does not make it any less fun for those that do. ;)
b) since you love to selectively edit, lets put that line back in. " The threat of being ganked should ALWAYS be in the game, even in High Sec. " No where did I say no ganking should be allowed in high sec. I said the risk should match the reward.
c) What was the reason CCP stated for removing the boomerang maneuver?
d) I will be the first to claim PvP is something I am still learning, as I have mentioned in previous posts. However unless they have changed it recently, people have been using their Orca to swap ships with no threat to the Orca after getting flagged in high sec forever and a day. Has that been changed?
e) I do not live in 0.0. The local chat 'fix' is not my idea, there are several places it is brought up around the site, by people who do. My son is in your corp as a matter of fact. Because I do not live there, does not mean I do not see what is going on there. It most certainly does not make me an expert however, and it was a random extra idea thrown in, not having much to do with this thread.
f) Not enough people post on these forums as it is, try to be a bit less insulting and a bit more constructive with your posts. Goonswarm is supposed to have some of the most dedicated and knowledgeable players in game. If this is the case, throw in some actual ideas other than 'bad post go away'. I'd love to read them.

Saying mining in highsec is hard work is a contradiction in itself. If it were hard work it wouldn't be done mostly afk. Talk to your son he can explain why a lot of those ideas are bad. I only discourage bad posting, other than that never stop posting. |

Well, not the mining itself, but the not losing a single ship.
Also, have you tried ice mining. It is the hardest thing ever. Specifically keeping your sanity. Would prefer to watch Jita spam all day.
tl;dr mining properly is hard work, but pays off in being 99.9% safe. Many miners don't like hard work, so take the easy route, diaf, and then whine on forums. |

Your chain of vacuous sh#tposts hardly merit any response. The whole point of this entire thread was to point out how ridiculously dumb most miners are. I believe my point was sufficiently proven, and it's obvious that us mean ole gankers have made you so butthurt in the past that you'll troll any ganker thread out there. I think everyone here with an IQ higher than that of a common housecat can see that clearly.
Furthermore, I see what you're doing. You are trying to get me to waste my time responding to a mobius strip of truly terrible posts in efforts to keep me out of the game and leaving the miners be. No more! Your plot and plan has been foiled! To the Catalysts!
PS: Would you consider having my mouth babies? PSS: I really couldn't give a flying squirrel's nut about how much ISK/hr I make. PSSS: I really love you. Please consider my mouth babies proposal.

I think that fact that Daemon Creed posts here only makes his job harder.
I was doing a corp mining op last night and sat on D Scan, Any destroyer on dscan with the player name gets a search on battle clinic.
If I were to spot daemon creeds name in local I don't need to search just hit the dock button I know why he is here.
As long as he keeps getting kills it only reinforces the fact that he is right. |

Not true! I could be coming to have a nice cup of tea and a biscuit, or perhaps to give a lecture on the finer points of Machiavellian doctrine. Naw, who are we kidding? I'm coming to kill you.
You, however, are not the breed of miner I am after. My prey is the absent, uninvolved and completely incompetent run of the mill miner in Eve. I feel that if mining is your chosen profession, the riches should go to the clever, the present, and the involved player. Not the slope that sits in a belt with his 4 Hulks and 2 Orcas mining AFK while he massages his nether regions to the latest episode of MLP. The Sandbox = Play however the hell you want. |

Yea, you can gank them that fast but that takes a lot of prep work to be able to do that, which are you not putting into the equation.
You must be dumb too. I doesn't require any more or less intelligence to be afk. Did you derps ever think that some miners consider being suicide ganked an acceptable risk for being able to make great income while not even having to be at the computer? Oh, right...and THAT is precisely why this is a clown thread and OP is the biggest clown in town. Honestly, logging on alts to praise yourself? BAAAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!! 
Only 30 mil at best? Yea, I though it was bs about the profits he was boasting about. Esp when you got to split between 3 or 4 guys like he does. It's not even as fun as he tries to make it out to be.
btw. He was crying about how carebear miners are ruining the game, not to mention being butthurt at the world. Happy, content people don't feel the need to go around being douchebags to anyone they can.
CCP is finally getting around to fixing these zero-risk/reward loopholes that cowards can exploit. There are too many mechanics to protect suicide gankers and can flippers so that if the pest simply knows what he is doing, there is essentially zero risk involved and the result is nearly always predictable. This thing can't go on forever and its not the fault of the miners, its CCPs fault for having dumb mechanics that allow douchebaggery to occur without the threat of losing anything valuable on the part of the gankers, it will very likely get changed. Naturally, people want fair risk vs reward, its not a carebear thing.
Here you go in case you dumb bears missed it.
Airto TLA wrote:The one grat irony of this whole post/issue is the gankers thump their chest about the bad carebears ruining the game, having it to easy, making money for free, being lazy, doing repetive tasks for maney, etc. But, ganking hulks in catalysts pretty much fulfils all of those items as well.
Look I have nothing against ganking hulks, but after the third time it was pretty much the same as mining, hop in ship head out for pretty much predetermined result. Gankers pretty much hide from real PVP by using hi sec mechanics, to allow them to pod move and drop a ship when needed.
Look if you are a ganker and want to kill a carebear, hop in a ship self destruct and then pod yourself, one deadd bear.
I really blame CCP for this since real PVP rarely occurs in this game, we have BVP (blob vs player),Pvp(Player vs player who has no chance to fight back, only victory is escape) , and hte occasional BvB. The PVPers get bored and turn theur rage on the peeps whe really just like the crafting system .
Tl, DR version - Just because you can gank it does not make you intersting, good or better than the minor you blew up, you are a bear just like them, have a nice day. |

QFT. My typical profit per Hulk is over ~35mil, give or take. Gotten lucky on my last gank and got 3 Intact Armor plates + 2 Power Circuits. That plus Strip Miner II's make for a nice take home, and I most of the time I get 1/2-3/4's of my T1 guns back. So yes, farming afk miners is very profitable. It easily allows for a sustainable ganking campaign.

Note the part where I said "upwards of 30 mill" And I'm not sure how you can make "craploads" of isk mining in highsec. Highsec ore's aren't worth a whole lot and mining in general is fairly poor in terms of isk/hour. The tradeoff being it is less involved (at its core) than most other income sources. |

You also forget to account for the loss of ISK due to them no longer mining.
So not only does mining make pitiful isk, if you do it afk and get ganked, you end up losing not only the ship(s) but also from not being able to mine (plus implants if the ganker goes back). |

Hey.. if he shows how miners can make "craploads of isk" mining afk in highsec, even after factoring in suicide ganks.. Shouldn't that be a good reason to make afk mining riskier?
I don't think you should be able to make "craploads of isk" (again .. starting to hate this formulation) by "playing" afk at all, no matter what activity. |

Here's the way I see it. The pair featured in this thread we ganked twice lost over a billion in 1 day. I'm no expert at market prices, but I figure that even if you mined with 2 Hulks @ a rate of 20mil ISK/hr per hulk for 18hrs a day, which is probably being overly gratuitous, I effectively set him back 1.3 days worth of work, plus the ISK lost on his subscription for that day if he is buying PLEX with the ISK he made. Time is money.
If you're mining for 18 hours a day you are likely unemployed or botting. With that in mind, if you are employed or aren't one of the lucky few who can play while at work, it's unlikely you'll be mining for 18hrs a day. That ganking them eats in to their profits even more because subscription time in Eve = ISK or Real Cash. To be honest, I really couldn't care how much their making or not making. I only care how much I'm making plus the fun of making internet-spaceships turn into pretty blue nuclear detonations.
And Rod, even though you don't even deserve a response, I will give you this last one. Your conjecture and your failed attempts at armchair psychoanalysis is not only incorrect but entirely laughable. I am a very content person, have a great job, good friends, hell...even donate to charities. One thing I do know about psychology is that people people often accuse others of doing or being the very thing they are themselves. In your case, it would be butthurt. Nobody would put in nearly as much energy as you into such terrible sh#tposts trying to attack another individual unless they were fairly infuriated by that persons actions. Also, keep in mind I never started attacking you personally until you attacked me. I truly believe everyone has noticed that and your true colors are as obvious as can possibly be.

He isn't butthurt, he is pointing out that the smart people seldom get taken out by him (because they move out of the way when he shows up) and the ones that do usualy learn how to not get caught again. And as for making craploads more than he does, this simply isn't true. It's possilbe to make upwards of 30 mill off of a single hulk kill. Assuming the loot/salvage faries hate you and you only manage to pocket about 15-20 mill per hulk, and a single character can gank at LEAST one hulk every 20 minutes. the profit potential for killing a hulk is much greater than flying it in highsec. QFT. My typical profit per Hulk is over ~35mil, give or take. Gotten lucky on my last gank and got 3 Intact Armor plates + 2 Power Circuits. That plus Strip Miner II's make for a nice take home, and I most of the time I get 1/2-3/4's of my T1 guns back. So yes, farming afk miners is very profitable. It easily allows for a sustainable ganking campaign. I was underplaying it a bit. Note the part where I said "upwards of 30 mill" And I'm not sure how you can make "craploads" of isk mining in highsec. Highsec ore's aren't worth a whole lot and mining in general is fairly poor in terms of isk/hour. The tradeoff being it is less involved (at its core) than most other income sources.
actually, right now scordite is the 2nd or 3rd most profitable ore.

I just think its so funny that you created an unimpressive brag thread where you are trying to appear clever but clown yourself by using words you don't even understand, accuse miners of being dumb, when really, they did everything anyone might do to combat suicide gankers, they fit tanks, you got more people to waste their time, and the next time it happened they moved. Its obvious to me that you are some deranged individual who gets off on simply being a douchebag to anyone you can. Happy, content people don't do stuff like this. The subconcious is a powerful thing and that is why they say actions speak louder than words, your words are really meaningless. Also, we know know its not nearly as profitable as you try to make it out to be, nor as fun. Its also pretty funny how you get on alts to praiseyourself, Who does that? Kids like yourself who are butthurt at the world and spend all their time trying to annoy others are really the most pathetic of people. Its no wonder your social life is restricted to a video game.
For the number of times you would get randomly suicide ganked in a month, mining afk in a hulk is totally worth it. Theres nothing dumb about being a miner. However, it is dumb to pat yourself on the back for ganking them, being that it is so simply and without risk, and really, not very profitable at all considering all the prep work and the isk you could be making with 3 ppl.
Your sig says "play however the hell you want" and then you criticize miners for how they play.
Basically, you are just an all-around fool and clown and I just think its fun to point that out to your face in your own brag thread. I'm a pvper and I like to pvp, the difference is that I like to put the douchebags in their place when I pvp rather than just go around looking for random people to annoy. It's more fun to fuk with butthurt angsty derps who actually deserve to be curbstomped, like Deamon. Its a sense of justice breing brought as well. I like a challenge, poor deamon probably isn't used to pvp where people fight back. Whats is more satisfying, gloating over a victory where your egotistical opponent actually tried to fight back and lost in a fair fight or gloating over the fact you shot some fish in a barrel? I think that answer is obvious.
just in case you missed it

Look I have nothing against ganking hulks, but after the third time it was pretty much the same as mining, hop in ship head out for pretty much predetermined result. Gankers pretty much hide from real PVP by using hi sec mechanics, to allow them to pod move and drop a ship when needed.
Look if you are a ganker and want to kill a carebear, hop in a ship self destruct and then pod yourself, one deadd bear.
I really blame CCP for this since real PVP rarely occurs in this game, we have BVP (blob vs player),Pvp(Player vs player who has no chance to fight back, only victory is escape) , and hte occasional BvB. The PVPers get bored and turn theur rage on the peeps whe really just like the crafting system .
Tl, DR version - Just because you can gank it does not make you intersting, good or better than the minor you blew up, you are a bear just like them, have a nice day. |

Order of events: You said you can make [insert ridiculous number] of ISK while mining afk. Then you say an off hand comment about making rigs.
So you have two big problems. 1) that amount of money was not actually made by mining, but by manufacturing. Very different. The only thing you might be able to claim is that you saved money by mining rather than buying off the market. Mining minerals used to build things is not a source of isk (ie revenue) but a source of profit (ie not spending as much).
2) you fail to consider the potential cost of salvage, which cannot be collected afk, which is also a significant cost of some rigs.
Now, he is asking for the amount you can make by mining afk. Not the amount you can make by manufacturing.
Not any trade secret (like system location, selling location etc), just how much you are selling it at, and how much you take in per hour. Those numbers are useless for a "trade secret" by themselves. |

I usually dont like suicide ganking but the tears in here sure are delicious!
And i dont think the isk argument counts, sure a miner makes more isk than someone who ganks miners (but alot less than a serious pvper or if you run plex) but remember that ganking hulks is more like a past time when there is nothing else to do for flashys than their line of "work". They just do it for the fun and the tears.
Pi (which lots of pies use) gives similar isk to mining while beeing full afk and virtually risk free! |

So this thread turned out to be a typical rollercoaster of fail.... It started with someone patting himself on the back over a silly suicide gank or 2 or 4 and quickly turned into a freshman retreat pissing match.
Relatively new to Eve I've learned one thing that the ganked seemed to know and the proud ganker hasn't figured out (any ship you fly will get popped eventually) if you mine... you will lose ships much more often.
The hulk pilot returned to the spot he was ganked for a reason. The %'s game. Mining with 2 hulks will net some serious $$ over a large stretch of hours. Believe it or not... he more than likely has paid for those hulks 10 times over from doing just what he did. Return to the belt and start his operation back up. At some point the obnoxious grief hungry belt roaming parasites will get bored and find something else to do....
As long as anyone who is mining is smart enough to not let a scuicide gank scare them away from asteroid belts you will nearly ALWAYS come out positive on the $$ side of the equation (lose a ship or two or not)
Maybe ill get popped tomorrow... chances are however probably not... The reason the system works is there will be many more days where you mine freely and rake in ore to vastly outrank your losses in random isolated gank/shiplosses....
an isolated hulk gank being celebrated by a few t1 alts or bored griefers is like a losing team scoring a touchdown at the end of a Blow out football game... then rushing the field and tearing down the goalpost to celebrate their "score" |

Agreed. I stand corrected. M*A*S*H was a great show, wasn't it? TV just doesn't make them as good as they used to anymore. I only wish I could gank the entire cast of Jersey Shore with a disco phoon. I think it'd make John Travolta proud.

Relatively new to Eve I've learned one thing that the ganked seemed to know and the proud ganker hasn't figured out (any ship you fly will get popped eventually) if you mine... you will lose ships much more often.
The hulk pilot returned to the spot he was ganked for a reason. The %'s game. Mining with 2 hulks will net some serious $$ over a large stretch of hours. Believe it or not... he more than likely has paid for those hulks 10 times over from doing just what he did. Return to the belt and start his operation back up. At some point the obnoxious grief hungry belt roaming parasites will get bored and find something else to do....
As long as anyone who is mining is smart enough to not let a scuicide gank scare them away from asteroid belts you will nearly ALWAYS come out positive on the $$ side of the equation (lose a ship or two or not)
Maybe ill get popped tomorrow... chances are however probably not... The reason the system works is there will be many more days where you mine freely and rake in ore to vastly outrank your losses in random isolated gank/shiplosses....
an isolated hulk gank being celebrated by a few t1 alts or bored griefers is like a losing team scoring a touchdown at the end of a Blow out football game... then rushing the field and tearing down the goalpost to celebrate their "score" You may want to go check your math again. Hulks are incredibly expensive. And ore (especialy highsec ore) isn't that great in terms of income. |

Mining is just as risky as flying any other ship class in a hostile area.
You can still be nearly 100% safe, even while mining. It just takes a little bit of effort (oh no evil word) and planning (another evil word).
If more miners would mine like I have suggested on these forums more times than I can count, there would be about 5 miner gankers in EVE and everyone would aspire to be as skilled and dedicated as they are.
And with even less work, miners can decrease their risk with a little loss of yield (oh no evil concept) by fitting a tank. It won't stop all ganks, but in the higher secs at least it will not in any way be profitable to gank you (unless you use deadspace and officer mods... don't do that). |

Once you've finished that, you should know better.
HS is not the newbie area. It is the safer than LS area.
The purpose of HS is so that mineral prices can be somewhat reasonable (aside from RP reasons I mean). This is also the purpose of ganking. Remove it, and mineral prices would plummet, along with the price of everything else. It would make EVE stagnant. |

- Majiir The EVE market runs on supply and demand.
If HS became truly safe, then trading, mining, and manufacturing would become crappy professions.
The only ones who would make a decent amount of money would be Tech moon holders (though this is changing... eventually) and bounty miners (missions, ratting, anoms, etc).
This woudl be a serious imbalance, and essentially destroy a significant part of the game. |

Well again I'm still not seeing the logic around why trading, mining, and manufacturing would be crappy professions given safe HS space.. Cheaper raw materials means better profits for manufacturers, as a builder I would love to see that :) and would be building like crazy. ROI margins are getting so thin now it's difficult to turn a profit on many ship builds, which of course drives the price of ships up... for everyone. T2 and Capital parts/components are simply stupid expensive and suck a vast portion of profits right out what with all the new crap you have to build with. I'm not an economics expert but still.. I can see my own costs of doing business and they have escalated a lot recently. One of my goals is to build a jump freighter for personal use, still trying to figure out how to get components reasonably priced for that one. But I'm starting to wonder if it's even feasible for a single player to do that.
Now it probably would require better bot policing maybe. I've never used a bot but have read they are quite effective.
Anyway I acknowledge your opinion on it, but so far mine remains the same. o/

The EVE market functions because of two things. It only functions, at all, because of these two things:
Demand is the most obvious, but the other is the velocity of supply through the market.
IOW, things getting urp-sploded must be replaced more often, even if the sheer numbers of things built/sold don't change much, and that's what makes player-crafting for profit possible.
If nothing got blowed-up on a fairly frequent basis, then yes, the price of things would drop.
But it would drop because there was no demand, so who would you sell--or more to the point, who would need to buy from you--all that suddenly cheap-to-build stuff to? How would you get the money/time invested into building same back?
The "supply" side in this game's economy is guaranteed:
100% re-spawning ores, NPC loot-drops, non-depleteable moon and PI resources, etc, which actually makes it fairly difficult to drive prices thereof permanently upward, barring CCP intervention.
That leaves only demand, and only constant demand as the real driver of the EVE-economy.
That demand is a result of destruction and conflict, and the fact that we have guaranteed non-scarce resources is one less driver of conflict. That leaves other drivers needing to step in, of which, as much as you may hate it, sui-ganking is a great one, as it makes expensive/resource-intensive things urp-splode, which drives demand for replacement.
And given how much of the player base is in hisec glutting up it's markets, then if you really want to make money as a crafter, then you wouldn't be against ganking--you'd be for the removal of CONCORD even, because that would guarantee maximum consistent demand, and turn-over of stock--that is, freeing up the money you'd invested in same, with profit, to re-invest, and put it to work for you again more quickly.
That's how you know who the really smart industrialists/crafters in this game are:
They are NOT the WoW-kiddies squealing like little fat piglets at the stockyard for a 100% safe hisec--they are the ones whom, at least tacitly, support the gankers/griefers/etc, and the ethos of non-consensual PvP being able to happen potentially anytime, even in deep 1.0:
Because without the latter, the former knows that they would have little/no profession or income:
There would simply be no reason or need for it.

K lets hold the phone right here. What's getting blown up are miners, often new player miners.. you know, those guys that are supplying the raw materials to your manufacturers to meet demand. So it is supply that is affected, the only increase in demand will be on mining ships... maybe, assuming they don't say - C ya. So now's there's a decrease in supply hence an increase in raw material prices..hence an increase in prices for manufactured goods.
"If nothing got blowed-up on a fairly frequent basis, then yes, the price of things would drop."
Ummm no, if miners are not blown up and demand stayed roughly the same, then supply would tend to meet demand and the price would trend to equilibrium. Since we're only talking about a change in demand of mining ships, the real impact isn't this small demand increase but rather the loss of supply of raw minerals with a near steady demand, hence you have a price increase in HS. Which we've seen.
"But it would drop because there was no demand, so who would you sell--or more to the point, who would need to buy from you--all that suddenly cheap-to-build stuff to? "
Ummm no, blowing up mining ships isn't significantly changing your overall demand, it's impacting your supply, creating a scarcity in raw minerals.
"The "supply" side in this game's economy is guaranteed:"
No kidding, yeah I bet those miners can't wait to get out there and get splashed into atoms again.
"And given how much of the player base is in hisec glutting up it's markets, then if you really want to make money as a crafter, then you wouldn't be against ganking--you'd be for the removal of CONCORD even, because that would guarantee maximum consistent demand, and turn-over of stock--that is, freeing up the money you'd invested in same, with profit, to re-invest, and put it to work for you again more quickly."
Well the only way this works is if you have an existing supply (really big supply) of raw materials to build from and take advantage of the higher market prices. Otherwise your screwed as a crafter because you have to buy raw minerals at higher prices, eating into your margins. Can you say 100.00 pu trit? I can certainly see how your plan would put every fledgeling crafter out of business tho.

Look on Battleclinic, bru:
Most kills are still of war-ships, not mining ships. Sui-ganking is actually a fairly small facet of total ship-destruction in EVE, because a lot of people don't want to get locked out of hisec, and go through the grating, /facedesk-inducing NPC (in nullsec, by the way--Onoez, we're skeered!) grind to get it back up. Getting from -8.00 to -1.60 is not fun, believe me. The dedicated "professional" gankers are relatively few, and those typically don't focus on newbies because,
A) A lot--of the ones I know, at least--agree that consistent preying on newbs is pretty lame. (Why, yes. Yes, it is.)
B) There is no profit to be made in ganking the new guy with the mining destroyer or Covetor--both of which are fully insurable, anyway, so no huge loss if not fitted stupidly (that Pithii A-Type SSB is not going to help your Covetor much when those 3 Arty-Thrashers land on grid, just sayin').
The supply of the resource itself is not affected, it's always there, and always will be. And there will always be someone to mine it, the ones that succeed in this are the ones who stick with it, skill up, tank their bloody Hulks (!) and learn to stay aligned between two on-grids whilst webbing each other to keep from drifting out of mining-gun range. There is nothing stopping a newbie mining-op from doing this--as long as they're in a player corporation, NPC "corpies" can't "agress" each other by webbing without CONCORDokken, IIRC--and plenty of knowledge out there to teach them why they should do so.

Which we've seen.
The price-increase comes as almost fully a result of CCP's removing Rogue Drone- and meta-0 drops from rats, and before by runaway ISK-faucet generation courtesy of Incursion ISK-farming. These faucets have now been plugged, and the market has self-corrected. It may be that a slight NPC bounty-buff is needed, but only with further loot-nerfs to fully balance it out. Time will tell.
What makes you think mining-ships are the only thing in demand? The demand is clearly being met, just at a different equilibrium point than before, because of the removal of said mineral-faucets, along with bot-bans. This is as it should be. You can make actual money mining again, and have minimal risk if you pay attention, tank your ship, and don't fly stupid-expensive PLEX-fund-baby loot-pinatas (Leave the--tanked!--Hulk for the nice grav-sites in 0.5/0.6).
Any newbie can learn this, the intro-tutorial even says straight out that losing ships is inevitable, and that one therefore shouldn't fly what one can't afford to replace. If a "newbie" is crying because he didn't tank his Hulk, got it smashed into junk, and now can't afford a replacement, then it's no-one's fault his corp's/op-group's leaders for not teaching him why he had no business being in the thing, even if he could board it. Oh, and a qualified Hulk/Mack pilot is not young enough to be a newbie, so he has no excuse there, sorry.
Sorceror Majiir wrote: Ummm no, blowing up mining ships isn't significantly changing your overall demand, it's impacting your supply, creating a scarcity in raw minerals.
Again, there is no scarcity of supply in EVE. The only difference is the will to go and get it, and someone clearly is doing that--if less available supply, then more people see mining as worth doing, then more minerals come in more quickly from more miners, and the price should re-balance regardless. The ones who stay doing it, are the ones who are attentive and smart, and thus avoid getting ganked in almost all realistic cases.
EVE is harsh, and not exactly newb-friendly--no two ways around it--but there are many ways to work with this for newbies. The onus is on you to learn and make use of them, however, that's the main difference to other "softcore" MMOs.
Sorceror Majiir wrote: No kidding, yeah I bet those miners can't wait to get out there and get splashed into atoms again.
The ones who adapt, who learn from their losses, and whom, most importantly, realise that it's ultimately just pixels in a dBase, these ones will. And they will be smarter about it, and probably not get ganked next time. And with the ISK/mineral-flooring faucets plugged up, will probably make a fortune in the process.
Adapt, or GTFO.
This has always been the core ethos of EVE, and it's worked just fine for 10 years.
Why should the increased overhead screw you as a crafter? You pass this price on to your customers, whom, as long as they need to replace their ships--not least of all their sui-gank ships--the loss of those is guaranteed, successful gank is not--then they will pay it.
the market will take care of itself. It always has. The community who "get" EVE will step up, and mitigate their risks by being smart about it. It always has.
EVE would not have lasted 10 years, subscriptions would not have only grown year-by-year (exception, the Incarna debacle) if this weren't true.
Working as intended.

- Majiir Cool, I'm glad we can be pleasant, unlike some folks who disagree.
Also, to explain.
Ships and modules almost always (after equilibrium sets in) sell at just profitable. Most people (traders especially) will not buy a ship that costs significantly more than they themselves could make it.
So, lets say tomorrow, HS became 100% safe.
After a while mineral prices would drop significantly (other than zyn, mega, and morph).
Once that occurs, prices of everything will drop, because everyone wants to sell, and less people would be buying (because of less losses). And people always try to out sell each other (stupid .01 isk games) so the profitability generally stays the same, but the overall amount of income a manufacturer (and trader) would drop drastically.
Also, miners are not the only ones being blown up in HS. Mission runners. Indies transporting goods. Ninja salvagers. War targets. Neutral Logis. Pods. Gankers who fail. Silly people who sit on station to take loot from blown up war targets...
Most of these are done via suicide ganks. |

Oh, for...vOv Building anything in EVE carries opportunity-cost! /o\
Only real opportunity cost though, is time, which you're going to have to commit anyway, and once that build job is started, then it's 100% passive. Train Advanced Mass Production to 4 or 5, and use a same account alt that has at least Mass production to 4 or 5, log/re-log as needed.
These are not huge costs, bru, and certainly absorbable.
When you grow up, then maybe you can re-sub your main and come play EVE the way it's meant to be played again, yes? And stop personally attacking anyone you happen to disagree with?
Sorry, but EVE is not for the emotionally-immature, and CCP is never going to cater to that demographic. They know better.
Next!

Believe it or not... he more than likely has paid for those hulks 10 times over from doing just what he did. Return to the belt and start his operation back up. At some point the obnoxious grief hungry belt roaming parasites will get bored and find something else to do....
As long as anyone who is mining is smart enough to not let a scuicide gank scare them away from asteroid belts you will nearly ALWAYS come out positive on the $$ side of the equation (lose a ship or two or not)
Maybe ill get popped tomorrow... chances are however probably not... The reason the system works is there will be many more days where you mine freely and rake in ore to vastly outrank your losses in random isolated gank/shiplosses....
an isolated hulk gank being celebrated by a few t1 alts or bored griefers is like a losing team scoring a touchdown at the end of a Blow out football game... then rushing the field and tearing down the goalpost to celebrate their "score" You may want to go check your math again. Hulks are incredibly expensive. And ore (especialy highsec ore) isn't that great in terms of income.
Actually my math is pretty spot on.... right now even high sec ore for instance pyro is about 4 million or so per can even if the hulk pilot is unskilled and only filling up a can every 10 minutes you'd need somewhere between 85-95 cans of raw ore (less if refined) to cover a lost hulk...
Anyone getting ganked may lose a hulk..losing 2 in a week is rare...3 in even more rare... I don't know many people who can say "I lose a hulk once a week"
While losing hulks is costly(roughly 15 hours of mining the cheapest ore for unrefined raw sale) You will still come out ahead...any serious miner is clocking up 2-3 hours a day 4-5 days a week with low skills,not refining the ore and no bonuses you will still net about 300 mill or so a week.... basically a hulk lost can be recouped in a death free week. How do i know? Because I've lost a ship or two and I know exactly what it sets me back.....
keep in mind I've completely ignored the fact that
enhanced skills crystals Foreman Bonuses Refining Mining other more lucrative ores
All skyrocket the isk income of a hulk miner.
losing a hulk is certainly not the end or the world. No tears to drink here I appoligize :(
Now I'm sure someone will be eager to pick apart my opinion and go "super ultra forum rebuttal" combo on my rough math and that's ok... I'm perfectly fine with agreeing to disagree.... most hulk pilots understand their isk income and how long it would take to replace the lost isk in losing a hulk... (usualy just a day or two)
fly safe :)

So it is supply that is affected, the only increase in demand will be on mining ships... maybe, assuming they don't say - C ya. So now's there's a decrease in supply hence an increase in raw material prices..hence an increase in prices for manufactured goods.
Look on Battleclinic, bru:
Most kills are still of war-ships, not mining ships.
The supply of the resource itself is not affected, it's always there, and always will be. And there will always be someone to mine it
Ok, you failed to read what I said. I said the only increase in demand will be on mining ships... keyword increase. Demand right now already has built in all the other ships getting destroyed and needing replacement. If perps focus on miners due to new and improved cats then there is a surge in hulks (and other mining ships) lost.. all the other kills stay the same. Hence you have focused on killing a supplier of raw minerals. The notion of supply being unaffected is like saying there's not a drought in the US because there's plenty of water in the ocean. Minerals have to be extracted from rocks, they don't just land on the market.
Tarryn Nightstorm wrote: [Sorceror Majiir] Ummm no, if miners are not blown up and demand stayed roughly the same, then supply would tend to meet demand and the price would trend to equilibrium. Since we're only talking about a change in demand of mining ships, the real impact isn't this small demand increase but rather the loss of supply of raw minerals with a near steady demand, hence you have a price increase in HS. Which we've seen.
The price-increase comes as almost fully a result of CCP's removing Rogue Drone- and meta-0 drops from rats, and before by runaway ISK-faucet generation courtesy of Incursion ISK-farming. These faucets have now been plugged, and the market has self-corrected. It may be that a slight NPC bounty-buff is needed, but only with further loot-nerfs to fully balance it out. Time will tell.
I haven't seen data on this.
Tarryn Nightstorm wrote:What makes you think mining-ships are the only thing in demand?
That's not what I said.. read above.
Tarryn Nightstorm wrote: [Sorceror Majiir] Ummm no, blowing up mining ships isn't significantly changing your overall demand, it's impacting your supply, creating a scarcity in raw minerals.
Again, there is no scarcity of supply in EVE.
Again, read above, I answered this.
Tarryn Nightstorm wrote: [Sorceror Majiir] No kidding, yeah I bet those miners can't wait to get out there and get splashed into atoms again.
Adapt, or GTFO.
You don't sound that stupid. You don't think a lot of these people will LEAVE THE GAME. I'm having a hard time seeing how that's a good thing, usually businesses want to retain customers.
Actually, I think they have barely managed to keep it afloat, mostly through what, 16 free major content rollouts to try to keep customers interested? Game design is no walk in the park, granted. Keeping a game alive for 9 years is not easy either. Think for a moment, how many new gamers do you think Eve has lost in 9 years due to this gank crap in HS. I'd guess 1/2 a million as a bare minimum. And if they made it possible for a younger crowd to play, maybe several million new players might come in. Personally I love this game, always have, but people have left this game in droves. Just sayin
Well now I remember why I hate quotes and message boards.. a great time waster.

Just to clarify, you think there have been five hundred thousand people around the world that have emoragequit internet spaceships after being surprise butsecsed in hi-sec while they were mining?
Any evidence to support that?

I said I'd guess. The guess is based on my family, friends, corps mates, and peers who have left the game over the years. Actually, If I used those numbers as a reference the loss would be 2x to 3x what I quoted. A reasonable benchmark would be industry growth versus captured market share by Eve.. now there's a real eyeopener if you know how to interpret such things. |

OK, all you whining whiny little whine-guys:
You can stop now. (/Facedesk)
Get on SiSi and take a look at the new--massively EHP-buffed, except for the Covetor/Hulk--barges, and even they got a little.
I've spent the last two days testing extensively on my max-skill "co-main," and handsome Tarryn, here.
(My manu/Indi alt doesn't have the skills to fly the T II versions, so no comment there--Mining Barge 5 only as per-requisite for the Orca, because those are just so incredibly versatile and useful )
The Covi/Hulk is still solo-gankable in 0.5/0.6 with decent-ish skills in an AlphaToro, but the others? **** no.
The Retriever can be solo-ganked in a 0.5 with the AlphaToro with max'ed skills, T II guns, and hope he doesn't shore up his Kinetic hole (with 2 EM/1 Thermic resist rig), as you need Quake ammo, as well as a power-grid rig to fit the T II Arty that can use it. That's the only Minmatar proj-gun ammo that has a large enough Kinetic damage component, that I can see. So, very expensive, with guaranteed loss of the ship.
If he does use a Kinetic shield-hardener, then Explosive or Thermic/EM will be the right damage type, so Quake still works there--assuming he's shield-tanked of course, no reason he wouldn't be that I can see.
Testing on SiSi with Tarryns' lower skills -- even with just an SSE II in the mid, DCU II in a low, and the ususal resist-rigs -- I couldn't quite finish the Retriever in a 0.5, even with expensive-on-TQ meta-4 guns, and what on TQ would be some extremely expensive Hardwiring implants.
The Procurer -- cannot be solo-ganked at all if even lightly tanked, with any real tank, forget it (typical shield-buff Drake-level EHP with 45% less signature-radius).
There you go:
You got what you wanted, you refused to adapt -- a properly tanked Hulk whose pilot is even halfway awake cannot profitably be ganked if you use brain -- but just spent years bleating like sheep being led to the fleecing, and it's worked.
CCP has now admitted that they want to protect idiots from themselves, because they are not sure that people are willing to do it themselves anymore.
So, my dear gankers:
Bring mates.
And bring Kinetics and/or Explosive. Lots of it!
I should hope that the "less-savoury" demographic of EVE will get a corresponding massive buff in balance to this.
They could start by:
1) Un-nerfing ninja-salvaging in general, it's on life-support at present--One of the only decent ways for a newbie to make money in a way that involves player interaction with potential un-predictable PvP*, and gives the newbie probing, d-scanning, and ship-fitting skills and experience that will be of huge merit for the life of the character.
2) Reverting the hard patch-out of the Orca hot-swap under aggro -- which is only applied in hisec to Orcas, not, you will note, to Orcas and carriers in losec/nullsec playing the exact same idiotic lamer's game.
3) Allow covert cynos to be lit, and bridging-to same in hisec, as well as allowing Stealth Bomber bombs in 0.1+ rated space (yes, hisec too).
4) Institute a legal way to have a chance of escaping CONCORD -- vanishingly small possibility of course, but should still be at least theoretically possible, and 100% legit if successful.
I was going to multi-snip and multi-quote the carebear troll above me, but sorry, just can't be arsed at the moment, too much like work. You'll keep for now though, troll, not to worry.
Well, except for one thing:
If the "younger" generation of players are all as horrid, over-entitled, brainless whiners as seems apparent, then no--CCP doesn't need them. Because EVE will ceasse to be what's made it so successful over 10 years, and has only grown, for the most part.
*Hisec is arguably the potential biggest "sandbox," PvP-wise because you never know quite what form it's going to take, or who's going to be bringing it.
Don't even mention nullsec -- that is a semi-consensual battleground for 1337-epeen strokers and drama-lama no-lifers, which most of us want nothing to do with.
This game has always been intended for mature people. We get it. Those who don't, don't matter, and are neither wanted nor welcome here.
In irae, veritas. |

Yeah Danks, I'll stick to both those statements.
On the bright side, I just signed up for the Dust beta, made it through the general part, perhaps due to the fact I've played the game since week 2 :) .. and heh, it's looks purty cool. Kudo's to Eve for getting a planetside game.

lol, geesus Astro, get some sleep dude. As I told Danks, I was there, we tried, didn't work, end of story. This was early in the game, seems like before MOO made their push into Core systems, before the KK, etc. though that's a long time ago to try to piece together a lot of details and I don't recall other game events around this time. I guess the reason it stuck in my mind is I didn't even see the shot hit the target and it was kinda disappointing at the time. We weren't doing anything fancy, just 1 vs 1. There was no measurable time between me firing and taking massive damage and popping. Just sayin, that's how it happened.. you don't like.. too bad. |

That bar was only swung towards the "perps" because the perps' targets chose to be victims, instead of pro-actively using the tools CCP gives to everyone equally to defend themselves.
That wasn't a rant. You'll know when I really let rip with one of those, but I don't wanna get banned -- again -- so we'll just leave off, for now.
No, no long-distance hi-speed torps on shuittles. Stealth Bombers already have those, along with cloaky-cloaky. Add the ability to bomb in hisec and losec, and to BLOPs bridge into/between hisec, and for the price of 1 AlphaToro, you can get 4-5 of them to do a little "silent murder."
The classic one- or two-shot Arty-Urp is still funny as Hell, though.
Why am I dreaming of some strange woman who keeps telling me, "You fail at life because you are cloaked?" |

ROFL. I haven't whined at all about the mining barge increases. Why? Because the Hulk is only getting a "modest" boost and you will continue to use them for the most part because your worried about yield above all things.
So what if I need to throw another Catalyst at it to make it go boom. Whoop-di-friggen-doo!
Oh, and if you think that all I do is gank miners, I invite you to take a lookie at my killboard. There's a good mix of stuff. I've just taken to ganking Hulks lately because it's so damned profitable, and because God told me too. Funny how those voices in your head from mythical deities prompt you do do things, isn't it? 
What's more pathetic is that you sit there idly and allow me to kill you with prejudice. Thank you for being so stupid! hf o/\o The Sandbox = Play however the hell you want. |

Mmmm, still trying to see how I was the one who got ganked. It's very amusing to see this thread being trolled by someone who enters themselves in an Avatar Beauty Pageant for attention, but I digress.
I actually posted this to get some laughs and show how dumb some miners were. My point was sufficiently proven. Good day!

2. Why are miners "stupid"? I will give you props on miners that do not fortify their ships properly but really, a realtively new miner with "OK" skills cannot protect him/herself against 3 dessies on a suicide mission. How is that stupid?

I had entered the contest, too... How mean of you! George Clooney would never say something like that to a lady!
Aside from that the whole thread quickly derailed into something ridiculous after the first page or so, so I don't think anyone got ganked, although there were people who more or less self-destructed, imo. |

1. Cause you have a friend or alt scoop the loot and salvage the wreck. Both can be sold for far more than the cost of the ganking ship
2. New miners are not profitable. Hulks with little to no tank are VERY profitable and are the focus of gankers.
that said. some people will gank u just to ruin ur day. perhaps u were in the wrong place in the wrong time, or maybe u were obnoxious like fab rod and painted a target on ur head. |

When your facts are 1) that ganking used not to be possible in high sec and 2) half a million people have given eve a try and quit then I'm going to laugh and call you a troll. Yeah Danks, I'll stick to both those statements. On the bright side, I just signed up for the Dust beta, made it through the general part, perhaps due to the fact I've played the game since week 2 :) .. and heh, it's looks purty cool. Kudo's to Eve for getting a planetside game.
oh crap. he's playing dust too? but he'll want risk free spawn points and invulnerability for 30 secs after each spawn, so that newer players can learn the game...
i dnt really want ppl to slowly learn the game, i want them to hit the ground running and adapt on the fly or i want them to leave. And i dont think i'm alone in that thought. I think EVE would lose far more of its players if high sec became safe than it does through gankers.
There shouldn't be any safe place. even in ur captains quarters, i want to break down ur door and mug u for ur implants, cause thats my perfect sandbox |

No I would not say obnoxious. Just trying to mine. You just can't tank a hulk and get the desired yield. Again a few dessies will always get you. That said, it's allowed in the game so it's on the table. Thanks for the info. |

Ranting about how gankers were all bullied at school and have no lives is quite obnoxious behaviour.
also, the desired yield u want from ur hulks is whats making u an attractive target. either have high yield and get ganked or sacrifice ur yield to make urself un profitable.
there are hulk fits that have an ehp of 30k and still get 85%-ish of a full on mining hulk.
[Hulk, Hulk I2 - Solo_Maxi_Miner Yield: 2942 w/Orca] Mining Laser Upgrade II Mining Laser Upgrade II
Adaptive Invulnerability Field II Small Shield Extender II [empty med slot] [empty med slot]

Its not a great difference in mining yield. Or am i missing something massive here?? |

Thank you. It was nice to get help rather than trolling. I do understand the gankers though as it's part of the game mechanics. So once I get all the skills I think it would be a better time to field one of these.

It's the ones that fill their midslots with civilian shield boosters, their lowslots with cargo expanders, and then cargo rig their hulks, then whine when they get blowed up by a catalyst that **** us off. |

A bad drop will still net you around 20 mill. So multiply that by 3 and you've got 60mill/hour. Therefore 3 people ganking hulks can EASILY pull in 20 mill an hour. Though hulks like to mine in groups so if you have multiple people, you can gank multiple hulks at the same time. (even a solo ganker can grab 2 at a time if he is fast)

Too bad it doesn't actually work like you say and your math is ********. You are also omitting all the prep work and inability to solo gank hulks in a dessy. Since you are theorycrafting, you could also suppose that most orca pilots probably have salvagers fitted and have just as good, if not better a chance of getting the salvage.
Keep telling us how you pick the corn out of other peoples poop to save money on food in no time at all, and bragging about it. |

How pathetic.
The double standard is that you are all whining about them beefing up the barges so that miners might have some sort of chance.
Of course the concept that someone might actually want to play the game as a miner is alien to you. Actualy we are too busy scratching our heads at why they can't figure out how a medium shield extender works. And I for one am rather fond of the barge changes. It should help our hulks not instantly explode the moment an assault frigate lands on grid.
a medium shield extender isnt saving a retriever from anyone other than a half assed frig zerg from a trial account.....
Retrievers are easy pops not because the pilots choose not to build them for defense against such attacks. Its because they simply dont have the ability to properly fit any real defenses other than a possible damage control in the low(thats if you skip out on a survey scanner in the mid and have the extra cpu)
the buffs to the barges were larger than needed thats for sure... but i dont think anyone can disagree that the t1 barges needed another mid slot and a hair more cpu to fit a module for some defense....
as it stands a typical retriever with trimark armor pumps in rigs damage control in low and a shield extender in its mid and a nano in its low will sit at around 3500 EHP... and will pop before concord comes to any pilot who has the same skills it would take to fit those modules (level 5 electronics and engineering)
that also cancels out any cargo expanders or survey scanners. The buff helped this issue a ton and their harder to gank. The whining didnt go away it simply "shifted camps"
so "whats the best way to defend against ganks?" Honestly there isn't one.... all you can do is avoid the typical areas prone to getting ganked a.k.a. Systems around trade hubs and newbie areas.... Find a system without a station in it... Find a system that you will need to jump a hauler to move your ore. If the area has low traffic it will have less flippers/gankers etc.
if you get to a belt and you get a frigate flying by every 20 min ******* with your cans... just leave and go somewhere else. "Dont be that guy" (I have) its just easier to move on and make your isk elsewhere.
Mine in a battleship you can put a strong tank on it and yield as much as any retriever can. You're also virtually immune to any solo gank. think about it (lose 3 retrievers and youve paid for a dominix) js.... or last but not least... get some friends mine together strength in numbers. |

What ur doing wrong here is mixing tanks. Try shield rigs with the shield extender and dont fit nano's when ur trying to tank with a DC because it reduces ur hull hp. u are why ppl call miners stupid. try this instead. tanks dessies quite well:

D-scan helps. Set range to a few AU and most of what u pick up will be inbounds rather than half the system. Retrievers are ganked much less than hulks anyways, they are hardly worth the destroyers used to destroy them. Also, learn to live without the asteroid scanner. its not the end of the world if u lose 3 mins...its just 3 mins
like i said. its ur obsession with max yield at the cost of survivability that gets u ganked...

while its nice to pick apart a post with "in thoery you can do this" its just not practical. The reason many retriever pilots are using mixed methods to obtain hp is because they are low in skill points. by the time most miners work their way into mining 5 and crystals they are well on their way or into a hulk.
so the real question is can a typical retriever pilot miner fit a coprocessor ii? no i didnt even train electronics upgrades until i could pilot a hulk.
and you also are off about people not ganking retrievers because its not worth losing the destroyer or frigate... well people dont suicide gank for the $$.. especially high sec retriever ganks. they are done for the satisfaction of "i killed you and you just flushed 17-20 mill down the can and all i spent was 2 mill on a frigate and guns on a trial account"
so the question is.. are you simply forced to mine with a 100% tank based fit or is there something inherently wrong with the design of the class of ship for its roles in game and dangers faced therin?
as it stands any hulk with a shield booster and damage control can survive a solo dessie gank.....
call it for what it is. The t1 barges were made paper thin because they were never intended to take a ton of damage. The oversight was that they were virtually helpless against any attack from any class of ships willing to die to gank them. What does it take to suicide gank a retriever? 4-5 days of trial account skills and a frigate with 4 guns...POP
deep scan? remember the people crying the loudest are usually the ones who don't understand how much of their woes are self inflicted. you aren't talking about long time players crying about suicide ganks; Im talking about the younger players with limited skill points (the kind who get into a retriever tomorrow and get ganked for the first time by some clown in a frigate who noticed you only had 3 drones(clear indicator of low overall skillpoints)
The kind of pilots who render your clever but impractical "build like this oh look i made it easy for you" fit useless. sure those skills can be expected to be obtained at some point but if the answer to "how do i protect my miner from trial account suicide ganks" is: "T2 modules deepscan and rank V skills to make it all fit" then perhaps the ultra buff to the barges was warranted afterall
p.s. a dessy in tech 2 guns will melt that fit too(retrievers have quite ****** shield resists) |

Their "defense" is that you can't salvage intact armor plates from a t1 wreck.
However, not training basic support skills on ANY character is never an acceptable excuse and is simply a terrible idea. |

The reason many retriever pilots are using mixed methods to obtain hp is because they are low in skill points. by the time most miners work their way into mining 5 and crystals they are well on their way or into a hulk.
This is also why ppl say miners are dumb. rushing into ships before u can properly fly them is dumb (like flying a retriever before u have the skills to tank is really dumb). You are right that it's theory tho...i've never been ganked. Probably because i tank and d-scan.
Quote: so the real question is can a typical retriever pilot miner fit a coprocessor ii? no i didnt even train electronics upgrades until i could pilot a hulk.
I used a Co-pro II for my own laziness. this fit works with a T1 meta 0 Co-Pro I...if u had played around with fits rather than using 'maximum yield all the time' u'd know this. It also mines almost as much as a 'maximum yield retriever'.
Quote: so the question is.. are you simply forced to mine with a 100% tank based fit or is there something inherently wrong with the design of the class of ship for its roles in game and dangers faced therin?
100% tank fits still get 85% of full yield...what the hell is the problem?
Quote: The kind of pilots who render your clever but impractical "build like this oh look i made it easy for you" fit useless. sure those skills can be expected to be obtained at some point but if the answer to "how do i protect my miner from trial account suicide ganks" is: "T2 modules deepscan and rank V skills to make it all fit" then perhaps the ultra buff to the barges was warranted afterall
Skills required, beyond barge skills for that fit with T1 strip miners, are: Hull Upgrades 1, Shield Upgrades 1, Electronics Upgrades 1, Engineering 4 and Electronics 5, shield rigging 1.
This is about 5 or 6 days training...how the hell can 6 days training be too long? Only a fool would skill for T2 strip miners before Engineering and electronics 5...right?
Quote: p.s. a dessy in tech 2 guns will melt that fit too(retrievers have quite ****** shield resists)
no it woudnt. A thrasher with; all Level V (not 14 day alt), 6% implants, rigs, T2 gyros and 7 T2 280mm arties fit with quake has a 2173 alpha (EFT) Now forgiving that the rigs don't even fit in the thrasher and each thrasher costs way more than the retriever itself. It still takes 3 salvos to take out the retriever assuming they do EM damage against its shields and then explosive on the rest...
So it basically can't be done unless u bring help, which reduces each members share of some already poor pickings.
Even noobs with no skills can tank a couple of salvos from these over powered thrashers. More typical thrashers will need to bring help (needs 7-8 salvos assuiming good hits and that its a 0.5 system). For a retriever its not even worth the trouble.
there was more to this but apparently i can only quote 5 times. But before u say gankers dnt do it for the money, the vast majority do. The next most common motive is griefing specific people because they cry on forums or draw attention to themselves in other ways. Its rare to be the target of a completely random gank. Even hulkaggeddon isn't random and easily avoidable.
i wonder how many miners irritate people on the forums and then are completely dumbfounded when they get targetted by gankers... |

To be honest, many gankers don't care about Rets. Not good loot, and usually they provide less tears. This doesn't mean they won't get hit. But Rets are dirt easy to replace. They also will be better in a couple days.
Hulks and Macks are the targets, and with so many silly miners using shield boosters only, they make for easy pickings.
I personally look forward to being able to tell people to mine in a Skiff. Meanwhile I'll be in my tanked Mack, reading a book and watching the screen (not necessarily at the same time). |

i dnt know how many miners will use the skiff or mack. The fact that they've been unable to compromise yield to fit a tank before now suggests to me they'll still use Hulks over other barges and will still refuse to tank them. Bearing in mind they are reducing the shield resistances of the Hulk, its only getting easier to gank them... |

max tank hulks can get a 30k EHP now. I haven't SiSi'd anything tho.
http://eveblog.allumis.co.uk/?p=1070
this guy seems to have lost a few EHP's on his hulk fit by taking it into SiSi. Yes, i am aware its not an exact copy of the fit. |

Saw on Evenews24 that they have a nice little table of the raw HP with native EHP resists figured in:
Ship Total Hit PointsEHP Hulk 6000 8713 Covetor 4500 5771 Mackina 8000 11625 Retriever 6000 7691 Skiff 19625 29091 Procurer 18000 23252
So if I take the most common tanky Hulk fit as below, we show that with ALL skills to 5 you'll get 18,542 EHP. Definitely not gank proof:
[Hulk, Still Gonna Die]
3x Modulated Strip Miner II
Thermic Dissipation Amplifier II EM Ward Amplifier II Small Shield Extender II Survey Scanner II
Damage Control II Mining Laser Upgrade II
2x Medium Core Defense Field Extender I
Now lets take a looky at a more common fit that we see everyday with an EHP of 10,246:
[Hulk, Squishy Hulk]
3x Modulated Strip Miner II
Small F-S9 Regolith Shield Induction Upgraded Thermic Dissipation Amplifier I Upgraded EM Ward Amplifier I Residual Survey Scanner I
2x Mining Laser Upgrade II
2x Medium Cargohold Optimization I
Yeah...I could take this solo in a 0.5.

lol, this embarrassing thread still going.
your history shows that you never ganked a hulk solo in your whole career and even in .5 you need 3 guys. You only killed 16 exhumers in the month of july. Tell us some more stories about how you can gank a miner every 20 mins (but dont) and how you profit madly (but actually dont). The proof is on your pathetic killboard there. Seems like as usual, awful terribad clown-pvpers will say anything to try and make themselves not look the fools that they are. This clown even logs onto alts to praise himself. ROFL. Mommy and daddy should have really given this kid more attention.

Anyway: after 30 seconds searching the batleclinic killboard, http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=16907584 Solo gank in a 0.6 With a t1 catalyst.
Barring that, the point he was making is that the linked fit could be killed solo in a .5 which is ENTIRELY true.
Also you still haven't shown us the earning potential of a highsec miner. |

oh wow, 15mil and you didn't even have to split it with 3 other guys. lol. its funny the pathetic loot you awful carebear pvpers are so proud of, rofl. learn 2 play, scrub, and you won't be settling for the turds miners leave behind.
BTW, thats in .5 astroderp. And where is all this money you clowns are making when you barely manage to kill 1 every other day? Seems to me like miner ganker tears are much more delicious than some random miners because they come from a deeper well of anguish. If you weren't awful and afraid of pvp you could make some real isk blowing up people who actually might have to work for their isk. Its funny that you are willing to settle for what amounts to pennies a day just so you can annoy people. Mom must be proud.  |

You really fail at research don't you? On a scale of 1-Chris Brown, how mad are you that I'm proving that you're an idiot?
Just some semi-recent solo kills:
http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=16927170 - 0.6 - solo
http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=16907584 - 0.5 - solo again
So I haven't been as active as lately. RL, yadda yadda. Believe it or not, some of us actually have jobs and don't live in our mother's basement. I'd be surprised if you even graduated highschool with the shoddy research you do, Rod. The Sandbox = Play however the hell you want. |

As you can see, I got one in a 0.6, astroderp. Seriously, you use the word "derp" more than anyone I've ever known. Are you 12, are is that being too genrous?
I'm not concerned really about making ISK. I have plenty in my bank to have fun. Last kill I made gave me 2 intact armor plates, and at at least 8mil a piece plus loot, thats not too bad of a haul for barely 7 minutes of work at best....especially time when I'm, yanno, actually 'playing' Eve and having fun rather than AFKing in a belt.
Do tell us though, what do you do to have fun with your ISK, Rod, rather than horde ISK like a space-Ferengi? The Sandbox = Play however the hell you want. |

yet you respond right away, because you are so busy, right? Who can believe anything an angsty derp like yourself says? Too bad your killboard says you barely manage to kill 1 exhumer every other day in your most active month, huh?
HAHAAA! You aren't really proving anything other than you are a clown, desperate for attention. I actually didnt even bother to look through your entire career, but only 2? Something tells me you got raped by concord enough that you felt like you needed to bring 2-3 other guys everytime after that. We already verified that you are an idiot when you used words you don't even understand, and a pathetic one judging by how you log onto alts to praise yourself (ROFL). What reason do I have to be mad? You are the clown here, and a hilarious one at that. Thanks for the lolz, scrub.

To be honest, I'm not even sure he understands what he's saying either, but even though he constantly brings up that I used a single word incorrectly once, it's a challenge for him to even write out a simple coherent thought that makes any sense at all.
Rod, it's patently obvious that you're the one posting with alts, not I. The incessant abuse of the word 'clown', 'derp' and 'butthurt' makes it stick out like a sore thumb. It's also hilarious that the only way you can form the illusion of public support for your arguments and ideas is by using your army of alts. As for me, I have one alt in an NPC corp for hauling purposes. He's never posted on the fourms, either. Also, isn't it a bit interesting that those you accuse of being my alts are all in different corps, alliances, and from the looks of it post it a wide variety of topics on the forums that I have no interest in whatsoever? Yeah, they must all be my alts 
So yes, I have been with RL lately. I took the time last night to browse through the forum right before I went to bed to address some of your ludicrous claims and childish rantings, and also to slap you around a little as I've been doing all this time. It's almost not fun anymore, Rod. I'm almost starting to feel sorry for you, as if I was verbally abusing a special needs child. It conflicts me, Rod. It conflicts me dearly.
As for my killboard, I've said many times that if you even bothered to look past page 1 of my killboard you'll see I have a multitude of other non-miner related kills, 238 to be exact. Perhaps it's beans in comparison to those who fly in nullsec blobs, but as I've mentioned...lowsec doesn't get a lot of traffic where I live so I take what I can get. To say I don't do real pvp is an abject lack of any sort of research on your part and makes your entire rant against me moot.
To drive the final nail into the coffin about your constant portrayal of me being mad for not making boatloads of ISK carebearing like a nancy, I'll say this: I don't need tons of ISK to do what I do and have fun in this game. I've only lost 12 ships in my career, out of 238 kills according to my API verified Battleclinic record. As such, it doesn't require that I become a space-Ferengi.
When I do need ISK it's very easy. I just kill a juicy target like this:
http://www.recklessambition.org/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=2544 (~1/2 bil loot drop)
or this...
http://www.recklessambition.org/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=2463 (290 mil Brutix - man that's stupid!)
or even this...
http://www.recklessambition.org/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=1690 (825mil loot drop - thank you plz come again!)
That keeps me running for a good amount of time. I don't need a lot because I don't lose a lot and I'm not in the least bit jealous of your so-called hefty wallet because I'm having tons of fun with the money I have...especially when rejects such as yourself come on here and are laughed at for your constant sperging.
Furthermore, this thread would've died a long time ago had you not infected it like a bad case of herpes. It was merely a post to demonstrate how incredibly stupid some miners were for mining in the same place they just got ganked hours prior. The Sandbox = Play however the hell you want. |

WHOA! WALL of RAGE. Not gonna bother to read that crap, sorry. Maybe use some more words you don't understand in an effort to appear smart and people will take you seriously. Maybe not make unimpressive brag threads about how you shot fish in a barrel too. Also, using alts to praise yourself is pretty hilariously pathetic.
Mommy and daddy really should have given this clown more attention so we wouldn't have self-owning threads like this in the first place. Though, it is pretty funny to watch him flail around, desperately trying to defend his societal reject lifestyle and angsty teenager philosophy.
My bucket of delicious bear-rat tears is full, thanks. Now, get back to your basement!  |

A good troll makes the OP feel like he's talking to a brick wall and wastes as much time as physically possible of the responders. He did a bang up job, that's for sure. The act of trolling, which I sometimes do myself, renders everything they say as moot and can be dismissed as such. :)

Simple. These "butthurt babies" are either sitting in a station, being invulnerable.. or they are in a gang, also relatively invulnerable unless you have friends of your own with you.
A miner is an easy target, in a predictable place. Hence...why work for it when you can do it lazy style. Also, its so much more fashionable to brag about killing miners than trying to kill something that'll shoot back.
That is my theory anyway :)

First and foremost, I apologize for necro'ing this thread, but this is too funny to not share. It's also very appropriate to the topic and indicative of how much the new barge updates have royally sunk the IQ of some miners.
My buddies and I were looking for something to gank since there was nothing flying around our lowsec pipe and found a Mackinaw AFK mining in a belt. Naturally our scout scans him down and provides a warpin. We land on grid and he's about a good 6K away from us, which totally sucks. We attempt the gank anyways and fail to kill him at 5% armor left. Balls. It happens. What happened next though was far more hilarious.
Our scout kept watch on him since the AFK miner did not warp out. Two Destroyer rats spawned and started hammering on him, and the Mack was still sitting there completely afk doing his thing. Nobody would think he'd be dumb enough to just sit there, but maybe he was too busy fapping to Rebecca Black videos. About 10mins later the rats killed him after chewing threw the last of his hull. TS burst out in complete laughter and the scout dutifully salvaged and looted all of the wrecks. Youtube footage will be posted shortly.
As such, my point still stands. Some dumb miners just don't learn. The Sandbox = Play however the hell you want. |

Yep, this was in a 0.5. He was well tanked for a Mack. 2x shield extenders, Invul, and field extender rigs. Main issue with the failure of the gank was that we landed far away and he was moving. The Sandbox = Play however the hell you want. |

OP: We congratulate you on your recent acquisition of so many mining barge and exhumer blueprints for your industry & mining alts. The production of more mining ships is always welcome amongst the EvE community and those, such as yourselves, who so graciously labor away to produce & sell these barges are always much appreciated. You aggressive and, I dare so, colorful method of boosting the sales of your company's mining ship products has obviously been very successful. Even if it is simply copied from Goonswarm's own barge sales marketing campaign, you have managed to breath a new sense of originality into what had become a rather tired marketing trope.
So by all means carry on! I, for one, look forward to learning how your push to swing the Mackinaw market in favor of your own Skiff outlet pan out. Variety is good. |

I can completely agree that our actions have, as an unintended consequence, directly benefited miners and industrialists alike. Hopefully they have lined the pockets of the smarter miners in Eve who don't AFK about like giant space pinatas.

I have to agree with this part above. Rigs are made from salvage, not from any ores mined up. Granted 'while' mining ores you can kill rats (with your dones), and if you come back to salvage them later you can get salvage, but even that is not much. I could understand if it was said that he was making ships or weapons or ammo from the ore, but rigs?...

What is the difference between a carebear waste of space infidel miner, and a miner who works hard to produce essential minerals for ship construction? How do you spot the difference?

They were quickly dispatched in hilarious fashion as can be seen here: (right click link, open in new tab) Infidel 1Infidel 2Believing that painting the asteroids with the blood of those who defile them would serve as a good enough warning, we left the area for awhile. Several hours later, after drinking far too much alcohol (we aren't exactly very devout Jihadists) our scout wandered back to look for more targets to hit. And there they were...the two same people in brand new Hulks, 1km from eachother. This time they actually had shield hardeners on at least. Thinking that they might be using something far more sturdy, like faction Invuls, we added one more member of our Mujahideen to the fleet and killed them both...again.

I really Really do not understand why even the max yield pilots are still running around with cargo rigs??
Many miners do not realize that a poorly fit exhumer is actually profitable to gank. two fit catalyst are cheap, and when they get concorded the gankers get loot and salvage from the catasysts and the mining ships. exhumers are T2 ships and can make for very valuable salvage. When you run the numbers two of even three cataylsts per exuhmer can be profitable if a decent salvage drops. It is very common for an exhumer to drop 100 mil worth of salvage. Plus several mil in modules. Even with the changes ganking can still be profitable if you do not tank.
The only mining ship that gets even minor benefit from more cargo is the hulk as it goes through more crystals, but it also needs a hauler or ORCA to actually put its slightly higher yield to good use. the hauler/ORCA can hold the extra crystals if needed.
Even if it is a legacy HULK that was fitted before the change. Pull the rigs and put new ones in.
If you want to sacrifice tank for yield you can fit a processor over clocking rig and power grid rig and fit a full rack of MLU still leaving enough CPU/PG for a decent tank.
A mack can fit two MLU and a CPU II in the lows, processor overclocking, and ice mining rig in the rig slots, and still have a +20k ehp tank using shield hardeners and resistance amps. Much more if you use faction mods. Fit for full tank it can easily have over 40,000 ehp. That will not be profitable to gank. |

I'm not talking about the a type small boosters that HULK pilots used to fit to tank null sec rats. but just the cheap resistance mods that can really boost ehp when you are short on CPU/PG.
I guess it is a trade off of more ehp but making a juicer target. |

Some of them are dumb, some are not. We use to do that while gate camping, after about 45 minutes of waiting for ships, we use to switch for trasher fleet and have fun in empire space :) Ganking hulk was more profitable than the normal gatecamping day except those rare freighter ganking day.
I'm with the op with that, ganking miner is fun and we got lot of laught depending of how we kill them or there fit :) |

Seems like a stretch. Kinda just makes him look like an unimaginative fool to me, but each to there own I suppose.

The only mining ship that gets even minor benefit from more cargo is the hulk as it goes through more crystals, but it also needs a hauler or ORCA to actually put its slightly higher yield to good use. the hauler/ORCA can hold the extra crystals if needed.
Even if it is a legacy HULK that was fitted before the change. Pull the rigs and put new ones in.
If you want to sacrifice tank for yield you can fit a processor over clocking rig and power grid rig and fit a full rack of MLU still leaving enough CPU/PG for a decent tank.
A max yield HULK can still get well over 15,000 ehp if fit properly. Not gank proof but much better than it was. At least hard for a solo ganker to take down at a profit.
If you really want max tank a Skiff properly fit for max tank can get over 100,000 ehp. Try ganking that at a profit.
A mack can fit two MLU and a CPU II in the lows, processor overclocking, and ice mining rig in the rig slots, and still have a +20k ehp tank using shield hardeners and resistance amps. Much more if you use faction mods. Fit for full tank it can easily have over 40,000 ehp. That will not be profitable to gank.
Any ship no matter its ehp can be ganked by the right fleet. The idea is to make it so there is no chance of breaking even once they loot and salvage everything. Very few gankers can afford to throw away 50-60 mil every time the gank. But most can afford to keep ganking when dumb miners make it profitable. T2 strip miners are worth quite a bit but nothing compared to the T2 salvage that you will drop. Tank your ship or learn to enjoy being a victim of gankers.
Thi is the best response I've seen yet. Great explanation. I'm not a ganker but now I can see your point.

Oh, se hes actually trying to be insulting to provoke a reaction... on the internet... from someone he doesn't know and probably never will? What, on the off chance his target is middle eastern? Seems like a stretch. Kinda just makes him look like an unimaginative fool to me, but each to there own I suppose. Well good luck to him and his "trying to be insulting" to a certain ethnic group, I'm sure he will look back on these days of his life with.. great pride... great pride indead :P As your post clearly indicates, his strategy worked. |

theres money in it. and its funny to make ppl who take the game too seriously cry. just look at the german kid playing unreal tournament. thats what miners get like when they are ganked.
plus, this is a pvp game whether peeps like it or not. even miners and traders are in competition with eachother, and i screw my competitors over every chance i get. better get used to it.

Anyhoo, this thread's longevity is quite impressive indeed. Tonight I'd like to roll out an incentive to donors to our cause. If you donate 10mil or more, we will contract to you the corpse of a miner that we podded/saved from their menial life of mediocracy. To add further value, we'll also attach an Evemail with the in game kill record. This way you can be sure we did our utmost to make your donation matter.

That only proves a certain selection of miners get upset when bumped, not that all miners get upset when ganked.
Also I'm not a miner, just FYI
Kane the Black wrote:...as mental patients tend to freak out when you disrupt their online therapy.
Again with this, is this how you justify your actions on those slow days? You created your own catalyst to deepen your enjoyment of the situation, seamingly from nothing, is there any evidence that the people who claim to get upset are in some way mental patients or does it just make you feel better to think that? Or is it supposed to be a thinly veiled insult, if so, what makes you feel the need to insult someone you already feel superior to?
I put it to you, that "Tears" are an illusion, furthermore they are an illusion created primarily by the person seeking them, akin to, for example the Holy grail.
Now, many people consider those who would spend time seeking something of there own imagining to be crazy and laugh behind there backs, yet dare not speak of this to them. Do you think the miners who are ganked see the situation in a similar way? |

Urm, I don't actually have a "case" is probably the reason for that.
All I'm doing is attempting to get people to see things from a different angle, some people will... most people won't, it won't matter either way, I'm not posting to prove a point or in protest to anything per se.
furthermore, the questions I ask are NOT rhetorical, I am actually looking for answers if you can provide them. But mainly I'm just looking for someone to say to themselves "hmm, I never thought about it like that"
You see, to me, I really don't care much for these forum wars, the whole to and fro of pointless debate between two or more parties that will never meet nor agree, I am posting more for my own reasons, I saw behaviour on a forum I found odd, in defiance of reason and logic, and so I posted in an attempt to better understand this behaviour.
I believe in understanding the world in which I live, the motivations and the actions of those I share this world with, In this case I spend time playing EVE Online, and therefore am interested in the motivations and actions of others who also choose to play EVE Online. Since I believe knowledge should always be given freely to those who seek it, I attempted to educate others as to my way of thinking while attempting to understand another way of thinking. a tit for tat arrangement if you will :P
Let me ask a question you won't be able to answer to finalize all this and end my involvement in this thread maybe then will you see my "case"
I play EVE Online for the enjoyement of myself AND OTHERS, the OP plays EVE Online for the enjoyement of himself AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS, which of these two behaviours is the right one? |

Both, the game is a sandbox so you create your own adventure, so to say. As for the one-viewpoint-point you made, I used to be sitting in roid belts myself before I turned to ransoming and blowing up stragglers in lowsec. I seen both sides, and I chose the latter as I found it to be a bit more engaging than watching roids melt.
I understand the motivation for your posting, but you will never "get it" through reasoning. As I said, everyone in EVE creates his own adventure. The only way to "get it", is by trying it yourself. By experience, you can judge for yourself what you consider to be right and wrong, good or bad, that kinda stuff. Yarr!! |

If I understood your post correctly, you seem to have made the mistake of thinking my playstyle and the things I do, or do not do in EVE will change my philosophy towards playing a game, or that in some way this philosophy guides the options I have in the game, it does not.
I do not mine in EVE because I don't want to annoy anyone as your post seems to suggest. I am just as capable as blowing up a miners ship as the OP is, the only difference is in doing so I do not attempt to infuriate or otherwise annoy my target, this to me is not a valid goal of the game, this to me is not fun, I would also not then proceed to a forum and tell everyone who will read about my exploits using racial and religiously insenitive language in a further attempt to extract fun from the situation. It is THIS behaviour that confuses me, and this behaviour I seek to understand.

It is highly possible I will never understand the compulsion to "extract tears" from other players, this is possibly a blessing in its own right. My enjoyement of EVE Online will NEVER be contingent on the misery of those I play with. And to those for who it will, I shall pity knowing they can never truely win in there game. |

You DO care, hence why you keep posting increasingly longer replies.
If you truly wanted to understand, you would try this yourself. Then you would see how amusing it is to watch people get up in arms over utterly worthless/unimportant things. |

I don't need to do it myself when surrounded by those who are already doing it. The day I derive my fun in EVE from annoying others will be the day after I stop playing EVE, If thats how you want to play however, then good for you. It's clear that this behaviour cannot be adequately explained even by those taking part in it, so I am losing interest.

Think about the "last" time you are looking back on your life, which is supposed to be the point of the quote. Seriously how did you miss that?
To clarify, because I think it's really important to think about every now and then, imagine living the last day of your life today.

Because you, at the very least, have the appearance of a good person. If there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's that the anonymity of the internet gives people a false sense of security. So much so, in fact, that they are much more likely to tell the truth when discussing themselves.
And you can often tell when they are, mainly from how they react to things other people say to them. |

It's been in the top 10 posts on the first page each time I have posted, It doesn't matter much it stopped being about what the OP Wrote about 10 pages ago, figured may as well just keep it going until it gets locked or nobody posts anymore, it's not like these forums are a hum-drum of important activity anyway, and my contribution didn't really warrant a new thread to be created, so I posted here.
This thread has taught me much, most recently it taught me real people do actually exist on these boards even though they may hide behind italian poulty based food products.

what the frak have u guys been upto?
Hiro, other ppls futile rage and harmless suffering is hilarious. just scan around youtube for 15 minutes and ull find prank after prank, accident after accident and as long as we know they are really ok, then its funny.
look at tom and jerry, faulty towers, two and a half men and comedians in general. Misfortune, stupidity or pointless and pathetic rage is just plain funny. alot of ppl look at gankers as having some macho complex that forces them to feed their ego everynow and then, but this is actually a minority.
when ur not ganking for personal gain, then its usually for ***** and giggles and/or just to ruin someones day so that they rage and provide us hilariously long posts and death threats. If anything, we are all like mini-jokers (heath ledgers) cause we try to blow everything up and create chaos. Spitting in the face of those who try to make plans and control things. And everyone seems to think the joker is a f*cking legend 
Anwyays, this is from someone who is a miner, pvp'er and griefer, and, yes, putting the effort to make a long rambling post suggests u figured it important enough to make it that long. and u care about what is important. If this was so far beneath ur notice u wouldnt be here |

Ok so people find other peoples misfortune and the innevitable Evemails and forum posts that follow to be amusing, I get that but it goes too far, look at the OP of this post, thats not finding amusement in other peoples misfortune, thats just been an insensitive and unpleasent person, the OP didn't do anything that isn't done every day 50 times or so, he killed some miners, it's not difficult, it's not special, it's just EVE. So when did finding amusement in the misfortune of others extend to a need to post religiously/racially insensitive crap on a forum, is it no longer amusing if others don't share the experience?
I don't have a problem with ganking miners if that's what you want to do, but that wasn't the reason the OP posted his exploits, his post was meant to be insulting to a major religion and equally so to the victims of this religion, it went beyond EVE in an attempt to cause actual emotional harm to other players. It was unnecessary, insensitive and simply unpleasent without need.
I don't know about you, but I don't want to play a game with people like this, but it seems I am in the minority as his post was encouraged by many others, this, confuses me. So whats the solution, does the EVE community proceed like this until nobody but people like the OP exist willing to play it? What happens to the game then?

I never said I didn't care, I said I care for different reasons than you might expect, I don't care about the usual crap that goes on in these posts, most people who read my posts here think I am personally annoyed/upset or whatever, I don't care about that. I only care about understanding the community and there justifications for turning EVE into such a horrible and unpleasent place to play. It genuinly does interest me. Also killing time :P
Also Joker, is considered legendary, because he does what he does well, I have yet to see someone gank another person well, If they did, I wouldn't be posting here.
But surely you realise this person is mocking you.
Basically he walked into a room and shouted "MONEY!" threw a few pieces of change into the air and watched everyone claw at each other to get at it. Sat back and laughed. |

You missed the whole point of the op. He posted this to point out the idiocy of two exceptionally dumb people who got ganked twice in the same day by the same people. (this kind of thing can be easily avoided)
Also, you are not the minority, it just looks like it because 90% of the EVE population doesn't read the forums, and of the 10% that does, only half of them have the hand-eye coordination required to actually post.
Lastly, why does it matter that he "insulted" a major religion? Why should Islam get special treatment? (or any religion for that matter) It's no different than if he had formulated his post around "The Avengers". The only difference is marvel comics didn't spend the better part of a century attempting to set western Europe on fire. |

I come across people acting like idiots every day I don't feel the need to post about them, surely the idiocy of the OP far surpased that of the miners he ganked when he decided the world must know of this. people act dumb, it's nothing new, whereas posting about people acting dumb happens so often its bordeline cliche. Yet people still treat such threads with an almost reverance as if the OP has somehow wowed us all with his brilliance... just don't get it.

Interesting, Ive only ever seen the "you are not the majority" line used on these forums.

Ultimately it doesn't. The fact that he tried to be insulting to anything is all that matters, the subject matter he used is irrelevant, but the OP gave Islam special treatment by using that "analogy" not me. You should ask the OP why he used Islamic religion, especially when EVE has it's own religious zealotry to choose from.
I would be intersted to see the reaction this post would have got had he not used such an "analogy".
If the OP had written his post in the guise of an Ammarian zealot, it would have at least been interesting to read from that standpoint, and an equally capable platform from which to make his point, so ask yourself why didn't he? Why instead bring Real life issues to the table if not to unnecceseraly cause distress to people. |

jihads, holy wars and that crap are now bi-words and metaphors for getting **** done with any conviction. I declare jihads against my mobile phone when it decides it doesnt wanna work anymore. If thats really racist then we should also be careful when we use the word crusade, apocalypse and **** it, dont even say 'it must be christmas' every time u get something fancy unless it IS ACTUALLY CHRISTMAS.
anyone who actually took offense at the OP, let them speak up and we'll let the trolling start rolling. This is the internet, and any over sensitivity will be jumped on by every anonymous 'joker' that sees it. My advice? lighten up, ull live longer.

if there is ever a case where no one else laughs, i dnt really know because someone always laughs.

no it wasnt, just used holy wars (or whatever, i dnt even remember) as an amusing concept. He might have tried to say he was 'saving innocent roids from the evil miners that eat them' but thats over done and no longer fashionable.

Its funny, current and controversial. again look at the materials stand up comedians use. in particular, why don't u look up frankie boyle.
i guess i should have added that its funny when jokes are close to the bone as well (though i re-iterate that really wasn't what the OP was going for, nor was it even close to crossing any lines) |

Now this is a very thoughtful and well formulated response. Comedy is often at the cost of others, or at least their amplified sensitivities. I'll fully admit that I enjoy ruffling the feathers of those who are overly politically correct. It should always be assumed that posts in C&P are going to be rather salty, as are the characters who post here. Personally, I feel that if I got your thong all up in a bunch that I achieved my goal. Mission Accomplished.
The fist slamming and gnashing of teeth over the terms I used to describe my war against AFK miners is also amusing. The terms, such as jihad, infidel, etc are not ones that are exclusive only to a specific religion, but moreso a region or culture. If I were to say I was on a crusade it wouldn't have the same bite, because it isn't current nor controversial, as Daichi said. Who cares about imagery of something that last occurred over a 700 years ago? Yawn.
Anyways, to further demonstrate how silly some miners are, I submit for your frothing mouth approval the following kill that I like to call "The Lowsec Miner Rokh of DOOM":

We also hoped to finally receive our 72 virgins. One set of mindless fools we came about were two completely untanked Hulks, mining within 1km of eachother. They were quickly dispatched in hilarious fashion as can be seen here: (right click link, open in new tab) Infidel 1Infidel 2Believing that painting the asteroids with the blood of those who defile them would serve as a good enough warning, we left the area for awhile. Several hours later, after drinking far too much alcohol (we aren't exactly very devout Jihadists) our scout wandered back to look for more targets to hit. And there they were...the two same people in brand new Hulks, 1km from eachother. This time they actually had shield hardeners on at least. Thinking that they might be using something far more sturdy, like faction Invuls, we added one more member of our Mujahideen to the fleet and killed them both...again. Infidel 1Infidel 21 Billion ISK worth of Hulks down the pooper from the same people in a single day. The idiocy was almost as staggering as the profit: 135mil worth of T2 salvage & loot. When miners have to ask why they are hated so much, one only has to look at their behavior. Allahu Akbar Praise George Clooney
Do you hate the cow for being tasty or the chicken for being so perfect in so many dishes? Does the farmer hate the carrot for growing in the ground without spikes and quills? Does the Blaster hate the tankless steel? No. Each thing loves that which makes the consumation of the relationship all the easier. Love the Miner for he gives you purpose and fills you with empty boasts and moronic declarations to share among the forums. It is the ganked who makes the ganker not the other way around. The Miner is content to fulfill his part of your destiny just as he was when Khartoon was doing the exact same Jihad infused hisec ganking with Goonswarm a hundred million years ago.
The hisec AFK miner will always be. It is the ganker who wanes and waxes.
The George Clooney part is nice though in a very post south park way. |
