They're not going after the research towers GÇö they're going after the reaction towers (Gallente = 100% silo bonus).

That seems like a large conclusion to publish on less than 24h of experimental data.

It also seems like you're making some unexamined assumptions, eg: that cheap ice products are good for the game.

As long as mittens stays within the rules of the game (and he most definitely is in this matter), he's doing nothing wrong.

Well, unless you interpret his statement "Basically all ice miners are bots. Report them after you kill them! This way, not only do you kill them, you get them temp-banned!" as a call to abuse the report bot mechanism.

Of course he could just be referring to the fact that ice mining is so totally dominated by bots at this moment that 99% of the people they suicide gank are bots.

One thing we have learned from this.

Removing or limiting high sec ice is a very bad idea.

BTW tengu prices have started to climb.

Little to no ice from highsec means the only other sources are low and nullsec belts...

cheaper ice products are good for lower t2 prices. the knock on effect of higher pos running costs are t2 items become more expensive. this was first proved when pi replaced npc pos fuel.

bumping the the price of just 1 of the 2 major reaction tower topes wont have the effect of making t2 prices higher, but bumping both will. if you bumped all types of topes that woudl have a major impact on not only t2 production but the movement of capitals across eve.

you could argue this point both ways depending on 'your eve view', although i tend to like low cost t2 items and cheap movement

I think higher priced T2 and slower capital movement would both be highly positive things for the game.

Because you're stupid and cannot read, I suppose. I don't see how reporting violations of the EULA is violating the EULA.

Before you sperg that wildly reporting everyone is wrong, there was a Jabber broadcast stating "Don't report everyone, you ******* idiots, just the 90% that sit there trying to mine in their pods."

lol the only agenda here is "kill the game"
Looks like theyre no longer content to killing "your" game, looks like they want to kill THE game now

@ Maelstrom Crew


Do I need to say duh?
Counsel of Stellar Management are meant to be our representatives for the bettering of ALL EVE Online. They should not want to "kill the economy" or "Abuse the macro-report feature" and they sure as hell should not be manipulating the vote via an obvious exploit.


They should be helping CCP

* Stabilize the economy.
* Support any feature that helps remove macros from the game
* Work towards a more fair CSM voting process that cannot be screwed over by the interests of Super-Alliances.




* Eternum wipes the drool from Maelstrom Crew's bottom lip.
* Then dribbles it onto Malcanis' face.

Malcanis twisting the truth like a true forum troll.
.

what are the possitive things that higher t2 items and higher cost travel would lead too?

Lol, looks like the Goons are struggling a bit now...The miners are fighting back with EC drones and shield bots.
This has all the makings of a halarious fail, time to farm Goonies before it's too late.

Go back to WoW you ****, obviously EVE is to hard for you to play.

Also, don't talk **** to Mal, as he is ten times the poster you will ever be.

The Mittens is a smart guy. He wouldn't be where he is if he was stupid. So he must know that you can't possibly create a monopoly out of something as accessible as ice. Sure, losing a brutix to kill a Mack can look all profitable and dettering on paper, but when miners will get their insured, tanked covetors instead, it will suddenly be a lot less profitable. Let them suicide their dominixes on those, it will cost them more to replace. And you won't need a huge increase of Oxytope prices to make covetor ice mining more profitable than last week's mackinaw mining.

No, Mittens must know he can't "break the market" and that it will result only in maybe a 3-5% increase in T2 ship prod cost. What he probably has done must be invest a ton of money last week to buy huge stocks of Oxytopes, and resell them now, making profits in the dozen of billions. And trolling the rest of Eve, which must flatter his ego.

Well played, Mittens, well played.

What truth did I "twist" exactly? That EVE is a sandbox? That mittens isn't breaking any rules?

Unsupported accusations mean nothing. Back up your assertions with fcts, analysis and a hypothesis. You're just slinging random insults at this stage. Calling people a "troll" because they're saying something you don't happen to like.

in all seriousness i can't stop ganking exhumers, it's addictive as hell
