I don't get why people cry about the mining barge buffs. It 's natural for NPC companies to develop better defences for mining ships when they are expected to be frequently attacked by pirates. People learn to adapt and develop solutions to suit their needs so it makes sense that mining ships would become stronger to suit the needs of the miners. |

The thing is, high sec actually favours the gankers as I understand it. They can steal from miners and there is nothing the miners can do. Their corps can't defend them until they are agressed, by which time it is too late anyway. The miner has been ganked if he fights back and his wreck is looted and salvaged by an alt.
For suicide gankers, they get concorded, but again, there are no pre-emptive precautions that can be taken against them in high sec. In low sec, the corps could just kill them the moment they appear in local. You can't do that in high-sec. |

What is wrong about it?

I didn't say anything about changing it. I was just making a point that high sec isn't as safe for carebears as it's made out to be. Lowsec/Nullsec is actually a lot safer if they are in a strong corp.

Highsec, like everywhere else, was never intended to be safe. Things may be slowly changing that now, but highsec was still never intended to be safe.
It's supposed to be more secure, that's why it's called highsec. You can have the strongest mercenaries in the game defending your miners, but in high sec, they still won't be as secure as they would be in lowsec. That's not something I care about because I like it when miners get ganked. I'm just pointing out that perhaps the system needs to be changed around a bit so it makes more sense. |

Or you could just explain what it means and why the previous statement I made that you picked up on was wrong. I'm sorry if it's beneath you to explain something like that to someone who doesn't know better for the sake of a civil discussion. |

It would be nice if CONCORD was a bit more realistic in its resources and power, but I think that would lead to larger corps destroying the whole game. |

That's the part I wasn't aware of. I thought they could only help you when the shooting starts. |

I don't think people want to compare it to real life, it's just that EvE is the only game that can reflect real life society as closely as it does. I think it would be a good thing for CCP to push those boundaries a little further, making the importance of your actions, reactions and consequences more meaningful and making the universe more immersive.
As you say, in real life the police don't always catch the criminals and that is why criminals take those risks in real life. If that kind of real life mechanic could be emulated in EvE, it would give the game more immersion. Criminals would have to choose their targets, assess the risks, maybe even study the security in an area before committing to the act. Maybe they will get caught and maybe they will get away with it. Either way, the game would become slightly more exciting for all parties involved. |
