Sort of like 0.0? It is not like you need to gimp your ISK/h in 0.0/lowsec, just to avoid risk in lowsec/null. Even lvl4ing Raven doesn't need to do that. And it is not like the hulks will became ungankable... |

And it is not like the hulks will became ungankable... because gimping your ~isk/hr~ in low/null is pointless considering that you're almost undoubtedly screwed if you get tackled also fyi the best anom/mission fits generally pull it off with like one invuln and a booster, they don't overtank
It is also remarkably hard to get tackled in 0.0/low, because their safety depends on watching scanner for probes/local. Perhaps they should be forced to make choices between more isk/h and more safety as well?
Besides... CCP was worried about lack of mining/miners, so they buff miners by giving them stronger ships, so they could go for full yield without worrying about destroyer ganks - that isn't unreasonable way to boost them at all. |

Local really doesn't help in highsec vs random gankers. |

Tbh, unfair comparison, because in 0.0, when I carebear I have at very least 30 seconds warning, in realistic scenarios many many minutes. In fact I am doing a complex right now as I am typing this, and I really cannot see myself dying.
This whole topic is sad. 45 pages of 0.0 players whining that they can't gank hulks as easily as they could before. |

Ishtar is pretty good for afking plexes.
edit: also in 0.0 mining gangs most people, at least the ones i know of, watch movies. You only need 1 active to say something in TS/Vent and/or fleet warp away. |

All I see here is 60+ pages of crying, because EVE isn't exactly like you want. Highsec already isn't some area where elite non-consensual pvp happens. I mean, it already isn't profitable to gank ravens, do you see that as a problem?
CCP has been pretty clear: 1. They want to boost miners. 2. Suicide ganking shouldn't be a profession, rather something only reserved for special cases. I see nothing gamebreaking with the coming changes.
Problems with 0.0 aren't located in highsec, just fyi. |

I have only ever mined in lowsec (and only briefly at that). I don't get all the hate toward miners. I wonder if all pvpers start life as asteroids? Maybe that would explain it... As mentioned previously (hundreds of times, in fact so many times, that we can't find a spoon large enough to spoon-feed this information to you people), we don't try to prevent others from enjoying non-pvp aspects of the game. We are however trying to prevent people from removing the non-consensual pvp aspect of this game.
You are a firm advocate of removing local from the game, I presume? |
