Ah, so this thread finally makes an appearance.
As much as I love what James does, and as much as I hate to say it, you guys realize that this is exactly what's going to happen next year, right? This is the next "big thing" that's going to be whined about.
I like (well, actually I hate) how all of my predictions regarding high-sec safety balancing have come true. First it was insurance, then wars, then it was barge EHP, then it was ganking by creating the suspect flag, and now it will be bumping. This follows a very logical progression of risk nerfs that CCP is dead-set on following.
CCP absolutely will address this, and it's quite easy for them to do so. All they have to do is increase barge mass while decreasing the inertia modifier, under some pretense like "barges are very large and bulky due to all of their storage capacity." Bam, barges now have capital kinematic attributes. And the best part is, we're probably going to see a dev comment in this thread how they won't do something like that, but watch them do it anyway right around summer.
So, now that we don't have ganking insurance, wars, ganking, theft, and bumping, what will be next? Two things are likely to take the crown by this time next year, and they are hauler EHP and the good old awox. It will happen. I don't think anyone here is ignorant enough to claim otherwise, despite not wanting to out of sheer disgust.

To increase risk in highsec for me, you must also increase risk in highsec for everyone else, no? Nerf Concord and you'll have risk all around.  But allow a miner to retalaite without Concord, that u r against?
How is that "risk?" That's basically asking for a freebie.

Don't worry, a couple months of whining and they'll give barges capital mass, or just turn off clipping entirely.
"Bumping was never intended to be profitable."

You're playing the wrong game, go back to wow
Aside from the instanced dungeon and raid content, WoW is actually pretty brutal when it comes to competition for resources.
These people wouldn't do that well over there either. Well, at least on the pvp servers.

much less pvp More like bumpers scared of PvP.
You really think if bumping gave aggro, the miners would do anything about it? That they'd magically dock their Hulks and take out their properly-fit pvp battleships?

PvP avoidance is strong with this group, possibly worse then with the miners.
If you really think that, then it pleases me. I'm happy that there are people like you out there. I wouldn't enjoy myself without their presence.

This game operates solely on the fact that broken windows need fixing. Without pvp, the economy would become oversaturated within months, and people would leave in droves. That's not thriving. That's not even a slow death at that point.
