My reasoning is this:
1. so much whining about getting ganked by CONCORD and not making a profit
2. so much whining about miners having too much tank

Solution:
Don't gank in hi-sec for profit. Get out of your comfort zones and go to lo-sec and/or 0.0 where you don't get blown up by CONCORD and you can make a profit without dying if you're awesome enough. Higher risk, higher reward.

My reasoning is this:
1. so much whining about getting ganked by CONCORD and not making a profit
2. so much whining about miners having too much tank

Solution:
Don't gank in hi-sec for profit.

Clearly they aren't fine as they are or CCP wouldn't be devoting their time to re-balancing them. I know, I know, you and your ilk are far better equipped to determine what CCP should be devoting their time to than the people who actually run the company, but you're just regurgitating the same tired rhetoric over and over at this point. Don't you get tired of being wrong all the time?

Edit: Max AFK'ness is moon mining.

Suicide ganking wasn't designed to be profitable, it's meant to be an option that let's you punish someone else at your expense. The money you paid for a ship to gank with compared to the money lost by your target was completely off and this change should bring that to a better spot. That said, the numbers can still be adjusted.

1. so much whining about getting ganked by CONCORD and not making a profit
2. so much whining about miners having too much tank

I would like to know where it is written that you have to make money ganking a miner?
I imagine after this change CCP is telling all of you the same thing.
In fact reading between the lines of dev speak it seems it was never intended to be able to make isk while ganking miners.

Note none of these new barges are gank proof. So quite your whinning and adapt.
Players can still effect their own economies of scale but they just can not do it as a career. Unless....

I don't know. You should ask from Ishtar pilots because it's more afk friendly than Pilgrim.

I think the biggest problem with this argument is the assumption that mining profits will plummet and be bots will run rampant. The truth is though that hulkaggeddons impact on the mineral market is negligible - even more so since everyone got bored of it. Max yield isn't increasing so the only thing that might drive prices down is more people deciding they wanna start mining. Ganking just effects too few people to really be a factor, whether bot or human.

We all know how terribly this is going to boil over. I wonder whose idea it was at CCP to do this. One thing's for sure, they ****** up pretty royally here.

Isn't it funny how CCP Soundwave stopped posting in this thread as soon as people started calling him out on his bullshit? "Suicide ganking wasn't meant to be profitable." Yeah, because that's TOTALLY what the issue is about, and not, you know, CCP coddling highsec carebears who don't give a **** about what this game is really supposed to be about and instead think that they are entitled to some blanket of protection.

Well they got that blanket. I can't wait until the hordes of miners come onto the forums and complain that they don't bother mining anymore because ore and mineral prices have dropped so much.

Crazy idea, but why not go find challenging targets to shoot? You know, maybe those that are allowed to be fitted with guns? Or maybe haulers with tasty loots? When it takes 6 destroyers to take out a miner, I don't think there will be much support for the whiner. They surely wont have my support (not that it means much; I am just one EVE player).

Lots. 2 nados take down a max tank hulk kiddo.

no because you're intending to go in to a combat situation, tanks are for combat. mining ships are not a combat ship.
