1. I do not partake in suicide ganking.
2. How can CCP implement forced game rules on elements of gameplay that were 'not indended'? That is possibly the most dim-witted sentiment I have read on these forums in some time.
Yes, I fell for a bad troll, anyway....
If you don't partake in ganking then why are you concerned about the mining barges being adapted to resist being ganked. Also, Barges and Exhumers are not gankproof even after the change, they are still relatively weak compared to most combat ships. I can get my T1 crusier to a higher EHP than any of my exhumers. Also, I have never seen a weapon fitted to a Exhumer, only a few drones. I may try that today and even see if it works. maybe I can fit a medium projectile on it... oh wait they don't have any turret slots. So an armed combat ship attacks an unarmed mining vessel. The exhumer could have a tank like a titan and it would never kill you.
Secondly, CCP is not forcing any game rules on anyone with this change. They are just updating ship balancing. Does anyone ever complain about the destroyers getting more DPS? They are slotted to get overhauled too. Incursus and Merlin are now pretty good at tanking for a frigate, anyone have a problem with that? Then why is anyone except GOON paid high-sec suicide gankers complaining about mining ships getting more ore hold and EHP?
Now a look at the other side of the coin.
Mack will have a very large ore hold, meaning they will sit at a belt longer and more open to attack. They are intended for the solo miner (aka, easy target) so ganking an almost full Mack with your nice crusier will still payoff. So you pay 30 mil for a cheap crusier fit, to get the 100's of millions in a Mack kill and loot all the ore, and GOON will still pay you for losing your ship, because you allowed them to sell another Mack.
Griefers are the biggest whiners, period.
