Instead of you robbing small children for their allowances, grow a pair, then actually shoot at something that can shoot back.
If they won't give you their ore in cans anymore....mine it from their hulls.
Problem solved.
~R~ Tell us more about bravery, noobcorp alt. first - not a noob second - not an alt if your going to troll get your facts straight first OP is upset that his gameplay style has been affected now that noobs and miners can hide their ore from him. What I am saying is that yes the "easy" stealing and griefing days are over, its time to adapt. Isn't that was EvE is all about...adapting and trying out new play styles and tactics.
Okay noob corp alt, read and comprehend:
YOu are in an NPC corp, which is where the noobs start. You are an alt.
If you want to talk about bravery and growing a pair, post with your main so we all know who you are.
get it now or should i type slower?

My response to OP:
I used to be a can-flipper. Never did it for the money. did it for the "thrills" and I did for a quite a long time. It was done as a supplemental activity to doing contract war decs (merc work) in high sec, which has also been heavily nerf'd ... I know where you are coming from. Being successful at can flipping actually took a bit of wit and skill. Surfing belts for hours on end to find that one perfect target (much like lowsec) Pick the wrong person and you will soon be blown up by all his friends. Maybe you end up picking on someone who really doesn't care and just ignores you and you end up wasting your time. Then, you get the occasional gold mine. I remember a corp-mate of mine STEALING an Orca from an idiot. Guy flew to a belt, popped his hulk out of his orca, boarded his hulk and started dumping ore into his un-manned orca, so we relieved him of his dead weight and took his orca. I have also seen an Orca pilot take the can back..... that was fun :)
The thing is, can flipping can be fun if you know how to do it right. It will never be profitable to the point that you make it your primary source or revenue.

Right and yours is really weird, since they did not remove ore stealing. It seems weird you would act like they did. They made it so people like the op now have to work at it, and they gave miners options to avoid it, so i will reverse the question, since when are options a bad thing?  Not sure if trolling, or just stupid.
Miners have ALWAYS had the option to avoid it.
ORE theft can only take place if the miner ejects the ore from his ship. If you put something in space in and unsecured can, it is NOT the responsibility of someone else to then leave it there for you.

Can flippers aren't affected by the mining barge changes since their targets usually don't have the sp to fly a barge.
There is no problem.
I could not even begin to tell you how many people I used to can flip in retrievers and covetors and hulks...even orcas..
