As per the GMs Rx, i will post. (although i know it will get flamed to death.)Posting under and alt.
This has not been a very good day for me. I am a miner by trade. My account has been inactive for a very long time due to cash flow problems. I read that i can use a plex to reactivate my account so i petitioned a gm for a 24 hour reactivation so i could buy a plex with the last of my isk and start mining out another plex to continue playing. I applied the plex and started sorting out my skills to pick up where i left off.
The next day i took my hulk out to a belt and started chewing on the omber. I did this for an hour when my GF started talking to me so i took my headphones off. I turned my head for a second and when i looked back at the monitor......i was floating in my pod with concord swarming the belt. I now have kill rights on some douche as my only reward. It wasnt until then that i learned of this stupid griefer holiday.......If i would have known, i wouldnt have undocked. I am not one that cruises the forms or pays attention to local in highsec, so i was unaware.
Ok so i lost a ship....big deal right? Very big deal. aside from the 308 mil for the plex and the 200 mil loss of my ship...thats 508 mil for those of us that failed math hehe, i am completely busted. I have no way of farming out another 300+ mil for another plex to keep myself going. My only means of farming it out has been destroyed. My best ship now is a cruiser and my best agent is level 1.
I honestly dont know what to do. Unless a miracle happens soon i cannot renew my account in less than a month. This hulkageddon has been alot of fun for those players who delight in making others miserable but in this case, its cost CCP an account. I know it is within the game mechanics but how many players are willing to lose isk for a killboard stamp and 5 minutes of giddiness? Not a whole lot i bet. Throw a 3 bil prize to that and everyone would i bet. At this point it becomes a problem that i am betting the devs had not thought of. I wonder how many other miners out there live in a 70+% unemployment rate town with a crappy min wage job that solely timecodes to keep playing they game they love? How happy does it make miners in high sec when a 'holiday' like this occurs and for a month they cant mine? Something like 2 weeks of this plus a 2 week cooldown or some crap. I am guessing that this holiday inflates the prices of mining ships fittings and possibly the price of ore and minerals.
I have no way to continue playing in 28 days. So i guess my account will default and i will hit the stumble button in firefox till i catch a virus.... This really sux. I have 1.2 mil left i will play anyone who will hunt the dude down that killed me or the instagator of hulkageddon.

Don't blame hulkageddon for you financing high end ships with newbie ore.

I am (very likely) going to get into trouble for saying this, but it must be said. I'm not saying this to be mean, so please let me say sorry in advance. I'm not a mean spirited person when I post in forums. I am what people would define as a carebear miner. I have yet to explore PvP.
Here we go....
Your misfortune was your own making. Your loss was the result of your own negligence by underestimating the scope of effect Hulkageddon III would have.
You, through the forums, per Helicity's website, on chat channels, were warned of what was to come.
You could have done the following things:
1) docked your Hulk and tried something other than mining 2) docked your Hulk and used less expensive and more disposable mining vessels, as my corporation has chosen to do during our Odatrik Ore-A-Thon. 3) Went into your location with adequate protection and 100% awareness of what was going on around you without distractions.
You chose to take your Hulk into the belt despite all this. The gankers came and you were left in your capsule floating home and lost your Plex.
Again, I feel bad for what has happened to you. It's not easy to lose things you invested your time in. I've been scammed and while I have yet to lose a ship, I've lost things through carelessness when someone took my jetcan. I do not, however, feel sorry for you. You could have avoided the situation you are now in.
For what it is worth, I hope you are able to learn from this lesson and recover from this very serious loss.

A few things I need to point out I guess:
- not being aware of what is going on in the forums is /fail on your behalf. Or would you just fire up your chainsaw in any forest and start cutting trees, without first making sure you know the environment(al dangers) ? (providing that would be legal)
- Only keeping one ship, your hulk in this case, and selling off all your fallback options is /fail.
- Unemployment rate in your town while you have a minimum wage job is moot.
- If you get a retriever you mine a bit slower, but you should still be able to manage. If you can not even buy a retriever you just left me wondering how the **** you got into a hulk in the first place. And only lvl 1 agent access is kinda hard to believe .. I know of no miner that isnt interested in standing for the sole purpose of refining. ========================== Nothing is true, everything is permitted. ========================== |

As replied above, you should never, ever, EVER fly something you cannot afford to loose. You should've had 1 hulk and the money to buy and fit out another one.
You'll always have your Noob ship to trade, mine, do missions, whatever. With 1.2M you'll also have the option to go out in a frig/cruiser doing the same thing, you're never without options.
Are you in a player corp already? If not, get in one and show a lot of activity in the next weeks and perhaps they'll chip in to help you in one way or another.
An emergency buying a GTC is always an option but if you're low on RL cash, there's nothing this community can do for you.
Suck it up and deal with it one way or another. Next time, keep tabs on the forums, ingame news and corp mates and fit your hulk with a bit of a decent tank ffs. .. ... .... .. .... .. .-. --- - .- -. .- -.- .- A bullet, Laser beam or Plasma charge may have your name on it.....

Let me get this straight. You petition a GM for game time (I didn't realize you could also whine yourself to some gametime...also there was a five days free playtime for inactive accounts thing going on lately), you mine while Hulkageddon, you lose your hulk out of your own negligence, now you go to the Forums to whine more and get ridiculed my the community... I really don't know what to say. You are either a 0/10 troll or maybe your mum dropped you to often?

Forewords: the following might be sligthly harsh
Next time remember EvE is not a game where clueless randoms live their happy and oblivious life.
- NEVER fly what you cannot afford to lose
- Your choice of staying ignorant about the game living around you is yours truly and consequences are just fitting the choice
- Your choice of going in one of the relatively few obvious gank places is totally yours. Ofc you blame external factors but guess what, even if you were at the keyboard you'd die anyway.
- Your account has no value to anyone including CCP. They'd open the gates to China farmers if they really cared to have one more farmer ship AFKing around. The "WE ARE PAYING CUSTOMERS HENCE WE ARE GODS" garbage is always spewed by losers, tossers, those who got nerfed because of overpowered <place here lame stuff ie L4 missioning> and has NO grab neither on the other players nor on CCP. Expecially the latter, have more to lose at catering to the above categories than by losing some lower quality subscribers. - Auditing & consulting

That's your first mistake, you're better off mining just about anything else but omber isk wise.

I usually don't defend trolls, but it IS theoretically possible the GM told him to seek help on the forums, in general terms. C&P is what he thought his post belongs to.
OP: Post it in S&I maybe some hulk-making industrialist will give you a hulk to mine in :) (amazing profits and ****) And to conclude my rant... isn't it annoying when you're reading someone's signature and don't even realize it?

Let me look at that from a few perspectives:
Hulkageddon is the cause of thousands of gank ship's and modules going *poof* >> revenue for the industrialists
Hulkageddon is the cause of thousands of industrial ships and modules going *poof* >> revenue for the industrialists
Hulkageddon is one of the few events that attracts just about half if not more of the playerbase into one single event >> unites people in having some fun
Hulkageddon is causing shortage on a LOT of stuff >> even more revenue for the industrialists
Hulkageddon causes a ****ton of crap to be replaced fast >> more revenue for CCP, more reinvested into the game
The list is endless to be honest ...

Pretty much, yeah :P
However, even though I'm a miner, I can't sympathize with the OP. Hulks are targets of opportunity (I think CCP even said so once), they have no way to defend themselves and will always be a target for people looking to pad their killboard stats, or just for lulz.
That being said there are a couple things you can do to not mine like an idiot:
1. Don't cargo-tank your Hulk. Those cargo expanders cut down on your armour HP. Put shield extenders or something like that on instead. Get a friend or an alt to haul. Or jetcan and come back for it later. 2. Don't AFK mine. If you're not even going to play the game, why are you playing the game? 3. If you have to go AFK for even a second, make damn sure the system is EMPTY (Pirates know...they have a sixth sense for afk nooblets). |

2. Join a mining corp that will loan you a retriever/hulk, *after* Hulkageddon in case that's not obvious, and make your bones that way. ----- this signature line intentionally left blank. |

Well, first of all, every competent miner will know that they can wait out Hulkageddon then make good profits afterwards since the minerals and ship prices will go up after hulkageddon. This is also a reason why a lot of miners and industrialist actually support hulkageddon. If you dont believe me, go read the Industry section of the forum. Plus, its not ***** impossible to mine during hulkageddon, mining battleships hello anybody?
Secondly, if you are looking for sympathy, then C&P is not the place. No, not really.
Thirdly, Hulkageddon always earn more EvE subscription than it loses for CCP, so dont come and make a carebear threat about not playing EvE anymore. Seriously, noone here cares if a carebears decides to ragequit EvE. And, can I haz your 1.2million?
Number four: Did you still not realise that EvE is a video game where everyone else will try their best to blow up your ship and you ought to try your best not to let that happen?
Last of all, Helicity Boson, your forum carebear troll alt still needs work.

Edited by: Skex Relbore on 12/07/2010 13:45:06 Edited by: Skex Relbore on 12/07/2010 13:44:41 My one and only objection to the suicide mechanic is that kill rights should go to the corporation of the victim rather than simply the victim himself.
The current system is flawed since thanks to the real time training system it isn't feasible to train a character with both Industrial and PVP skills at the same time. So you end up getting kill rights on a character that doesn't have the proper skills to exercise them.
If kill rights were granted to the victims corporation then that corporations combat characters could attempt to act on them and exact some measure of vengeance against the perpetrator.It would also allow proactive defense against repeat offenders since you could patrol the area you are mining and take the initiative against the gankers.
As it stands today it's pretty much just PVP for losers. I mean seriously where is the challenge in hulkageddon beyond finding targets who aren't aware enough to take precautions.

Ninja salvage in low sec and run Radar exploration sites.
Train Salvage to level 3 and start roaming around low sec in a cheap frig or destroyer with a rack full of salvagers. You can often make 20 million ISK off the salvage from a single T2 wreck in many cases.
Most fights take place on gates so it's typically easy to find wrecks by just roaming around low sec. As you warp through a system just scan and see if you see any Elite Frig/Cruiser/BS wrecks.
Just find the active areas and start roaming around gate to gate. If you are in a frig most gate camps will have a hard time catching you. If you lose a T1 frigs with salvers on it from time to time.. who cares it's less than 300k ISK..
I made over 300 mil in salvage/loot one day by getting lucky and finding a high sec POS battle. Granted if you loot the wrecks they can shoot you for 15 mins.
With Radar sites just train up Hacking/ Probing skills and it typically takes minimal combat skills to run them. However you will need some basic probing skills the (higher the easier your job gets). I've made over a 100 mil from a single site before by getting 5 intact armor plates and some other stuff.
Most times it's not that much and Radar sites tend to be few and far between but they are out there.
In short mining is a waste of time.. I used to run a Orca + 2 Hulks and made less ISK in high sec than a single LVL4 mission runner. Look at your Hulk loss as a favor because that what they did for you.
You shouldn't have to do grunt grinds most of the month just to pay for a plex.

Only a cruiser? Only L1 agents? That's enough for you to start grinding up to L2s and some extra dosh while the hulkageddoners are doing their thing.
I feel for you - I am primarily an industrialist and taking some extended time off while my corp is enjoying summer hols and H3 is in full effect. I have 2 characters in hulks and spare lesser-ships as a fallback... so perhaps something for you to work towards once you get yourself back into the game.
Last time around - I fitted up a Covetor just in case I got ganked - easier to replace.
And the forums are useful in terms of when these shindigs start...
Good luck ...

How to make 300m and more.
1. Get in a T1 probing frigate ( Probe - Imicus - Heron - Magnate) 2. Equip an Expanded Probe Launcher I and a Salvager I in the high slots. 3. Equip a 1MN Afterburner I in the mid slot 4. Fill the low slots with Overdrive Injector System I 5. Fill the rig slots with Small Gravity Capacitor Upgrade I 6. Fly to a mission hub in Amarr or Caldari space 7. Probe out battle ships in said system and neighboring ones. 8. Warp to battleship. 9. Salvage all the large wrecks and maybe mediums if you're feeling lucky. 10. Repeat until your cargo hold is full. 11. Fly to Jita. 12. Sell the content of your cargo hold. 13. ??? 14. PROFIT!!!
Or.
1. Get same ship and fit as above. 2. Join a mission running carebear corp. 3. Spam fleet requests at every corpie in a drake or raven. 4. Warp to member. 5. Salvage all large & medium wrecks till your cargohold is full. 6. Fly to Jita. 7. Sell contents of your cargohold. 8. If corpies complain; THREATEN WAR DEC! 9. ??? 10. PROFIT!!!

i can't find any radar sites outside of 0.0, and the ones i do find in 0.0 are called angel sparking towers which I have nothing long range enuff to handle the missile towers at the site. is it possible to find any radar site besides those ones or is it garunteed for that region? or could anyone recommend a minBC fit to tank those sparking tower radar sites? thanks.

However, as the OP might have bought another plex in the future instead of doing the ragequit they prolly lost some revenue there.

Btw.. over a 1000 kills have been recorded so far. Instead of just whining then unite. Hulkageddon is sandbox at its finest. Yes its griefing BUT there is always a way to counter. Did we shake the carebear foundation?

Edited by: Ori Blake on 13/07/2010 01:32:35 Use your cruiser, start on missions. If you can fly a hulk, it wont take much to earn enough for a covetor, or if you don't want to risk ganking again, train instead towards a bc and keep climbing the mission ranks. Don't focus on what you have lost, but on what you can still do.
You have 28 days.
Do it so you can earn a plex, and tell everyone in this thread ragging on you to go to hell. Then smile. When you get that plex, post back here, and tell them that all they did was make you stronger.
Looking forwards to see you triumph.

I suggest you prioritise your life. If you HAVE to play this game then ask yourself if you need to smoke or drink (or whatever). You've obviously got the money to own a computer and a broadband connection. If things are as bad as you say then maybe you need to address the cause and not the symptom of poverty. Or maybe, just maybe, it isn't THAT important you play a computer game. -----

If you're paying for your account through plex - kudos to you, I hope to get there someday myself. For CCP however, the revenue comes from the person who buys the plex, not the person who uses it.
The only affect this has on CCP is lowered cpu demands.
Next thing we'll hear is someone complaining about losing their plex because they didn't read the dev blog explaining that it was destructible while in cargo.

I agree with this - if corp can share aggro, they should share kill rights. As it is, it's like telling a mouse it's okay to kill a lion as long as it doesn't get any help from friends.

Actually i'm pretty sure the Op buys his plexes with money made from mining...so no... he wouldnt spend a dime of real money. The guy who really bought the plex will sell it to someone else, regardless of whether this guy stays or not.

The 'someone else' does not matter here, if the OP doesnt buy another plex there is one less plex being sold.
The OP buying a plex or not doesnt have any impact on other people possibly buying them.

The only affect this has on CCP is lowered cpu demands.
If someone stops buying plex, demand for Plex goes down which means prices go down, which means less people will be buying timecodes for the sole purpose of converting them to plexes for isk because it's just not worth their money. This ofcourse means less moneys for ccp.
They might even resort to buying their isk illegally. <- CCP poured quite a bit of man-hours and thus a lot of money into trying to prevent things like that from happening because it leads to nasty things like keylogger spam on the forums and damages their reputation.

I honestly do feel sorry for you but Hulkageddon is never really a bad thing for all the miners in EVE. Sure, hulks die but this is normally because they choose to gain profit over protection when fitting a hulk. It also creates price fluctuation in the market which is beneficial for when it's all over. In your case though, ' not knowing' was your downfall. Last year I remember CCP posting a report about Hulkageddon in the ' News' list when you log in on the character selection page. I have seemed to have missed it this year or they just didn't put it up. Looking now i cannot see one, so in your case that sucks bro. Because if anything that could have saved your hulk  . In EVE though you do have other possibilities to make some isk, you just have to work my man. I wish you luck, Fly safe.

And the irony is that if you know what to do with them, you know they're basically worthless as chances of ever catching them in something they don't want to lose is almost nil, AND then beat them solo since nobody is bringing a logistics to help you on the off chance you meet the guy in space today.
Should be a transferable to CONCORD ticket that has no expiration date and you can redeem it at any time to bring down CONCORD on the guy when you see him mission running some day.
But of course, I should go back to WoW for wanting to play a HARD game with CONSEQUENCES. -- On planets... nobody can see you macro mining... |

Not necessarily, but I think this suggestion goes back to a simple discussion about how much suicide ganking is acceptable to CCP.
Currently, it seems like the opinion is that the current level of suicide ganking is low enough that the mechanics are handling it appropriately, which means it would be unlikely for anything to be implemented that would modify the number of suiciders either way.
If the level is acceptable given the current pros and cons of suiciding ships, then we are as unlikely to see permanent kill rights as we would be to see increased CONCORD response times.

Originally by: Skex Relbore My one and only objection to the suicide mechanic is that kill rights should go to the corporation of the victim rather than simply the victim himself.
Corps can declare wars.
Originally by: Skex Relbore The current system is flawed since thanks to the real time training system it isn't feasible to train a character with both Industrial and PVP skills at the same time.
You can not blame the system for a possibly bad decision you made on your own: Train THIS-1 before THAT_1. Plenty of others got that decision right from their point of perspective.

This is my 2nd Hulkageddon as an EVE player, and I hardly noticed the first one, as I was mining in a complete nube Frigate in 1.0 and hardly noticed a thing.
Didn't lose a ship till I poked my nose into a .4 system and was immediately ganked and then warp-lock podded in a matter of about, oh, 3 seconds.
Have since fought off a couple of suicide gankers, but primarily I'm a Miner, PI clicker, and general all around CareBear who plays Doom when aggro is needed.
But this whining and complaining from my fellow CareBear miners is just....I'm not really sure.
I myself found the very idea of Hulkageddon horrendous, until I REALLY started thinking about it. The game mechanics are not being violated. And THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES FOR THE GANKERS. They lose their ship as well. So, what on Earth are you all so upset about? Seriously, you whiners have nothing to complain about. You flew your Hulk out there knowing FULL WELL what is going on. You have nobody to blame at all, except your own whiney self for the loss of your ship and you all collectivle sound like nothing but a pack of Entitled Trust-Fund Americans (and I'm from America).
I mean really...Hulkageddon gave at LEAST a month notice beforehand. You WERE warned. The rules are quite clear, and there is only one instruction, only one rule, you have to folow, and it is really simple:
DO NOT MINE FOR THE 10 DAYS.
How hard is that? Don't mine for the 10 days, and you will not lose your ship or lose your character, or anything else.
Nothing could even possibly be simpler.
And don't tell me or any other player that there is nothing else in the game to occupy your time during that period. If not, you really need to find another game or return to WOW.
What a bunch or whining idiots. Besides, do you not see the advantage to the Hulk-killers getting rid of all the Macro-miners for us that KILL the market? This is to all of our advantage.
Let them do their job and get rid of the marcro's and keep yer darned ship locked up for a week.
That is all you have to do, so what is the big problem?
Again, it's to our benefit, and there is only one rule: DO NOT MINE FOR TEN DAYS. That is it.
Shut up...you are embarrasing yourselves and miners in general.

My only question is: How authentic are these tears?
Is this just another prank post? I read one already where there were tons of advice & the guy came back on later to say "I was only foolin'" & folks were still giving advice to the prankster.
I started reading these forums before I even left the dock on Day 1 after the 14-day trial. I went straight to Crime & Punishment & just like that question: "What is the Matrix?", I had to find out "What is Hulkageddon?" before doing anything else.
Paying attention to the forums & the online chatter may prevent you from getting killed out-right & unawares.

There is only one player group I dislike more than Macro Miners: beggers

I'm not interested in standing, and I'm a miner. So, now you know of one ;)

if your gettin plex by mining and you get yourself killed and whine about ccp losing an account. go f*** yourself. your not giving CCP anything.
second thing: using a t2 miner in high-sec seems to be so wrong... get yourself in 0.0.
but that was said a couple of times.

Agreed. If you've already admitted you give CCP nothing but an extra strain on their servers, why should they or any of the community at large really care?
I make enough isk to buy PLEXes for both my accounts, but I don't. I feel it's important to support something I appreciate with my wallet.

I loved hulkageddon.
I popped 2 hulks 1 mack , 3 retrievers, 1 covetor and a badger.
All this week.
I popped this guys hulk a few days ago then a hour ago catch him mining in a covetor, go outfit a thorax and gank that one too.
Combined losses were like 320 mil for all the miners that lost ships to me.

Originally by: Driller Hard I wonder how many other miners out there live in a 70+% unemployment rate town with a crappy min wage job that solely timecodes to keep playing they game they love?
I like this bit. Usually the trolls accuse the PvPers of being unemployed no-lives, nice touch to point out the pathetic lives most carebears must live ("Waah, the only way I can build something meaningful is in internet spaceships!") instead.
Just smile when you ask them if they want fries with their order, then spit in their burger, little carebear. Vengence will be yours! Those who would equate EVE violence with RL violence deserves to suffer both. |

I'd head straight for lvl4 mission grinding if I were you. Sure it takes time getting the standings, but it's worth it. Try teaming up with some mission runners and get some free standing from them.
Should you happen to be in Domain, drop me an ingame mail, maybe some of my friends can help you with standings.
-Smog
same thing, if this isnt just a troll or someone after donations drop me a line around 9:00pm eve time and most nights il be on, i run level 3's with speed and leave most of the salvage and loot, if you want that your welcome to it. if you prove useful i might start sharing the profits, but really you have 28 days to get a few hundred million, you could always join a corp and borrow a hulk to another mining barge to make up the cost of a plex. i mean how did you pay for it in the first place? when i got my first hulk i was given it by some very nice people because we shared an interest in cats. yep my like for cats got me a t2 fully fit and rigged hulk
to this day that guy sticks highly in my nice guy list, should he ever need help i now keep a buffer of isk just for him incase he finds himself in the same situation
