It's the old story about Everybody wanted Somebody to do something and in the end Nobody did it, and I've seen it many times in the short while I've been an agent.

The real issue here, as is often the case with highsec, is that some people are willing and able to do things while others stubbornly refuse to help themselves, which is compounded by CCP's track record of yielding.

MO, CCP should confine themselves to things like a more comprehensive tutorial, better UI, removal of excessive clicking, etc - stuff that helps new and old players alike to get on with the serious business of interwebz spaceshipping. The fact that they're even considering changing policy because a very small number of people are complaining about interaction in a multiplayer game is pretty disheartening. A better use of their time would be making ice belts deplete like ore belts do, because an endless stream of safe resources isn't good.

Honestly, that's what a lot of it comes down to - avoiding effort, avoiding interaction, I'm entitled to play solo. Yesterday in Abudban I had to endure the usual foul language and petty insults that so often are the standard level of "debate" of those who vocally oppose miner bumping. One of them, fully aware of who and what we are, then proceeds to fly straight to the ice belt and AFK mine, so I escorted his ship to the no-permit zone. Twenty minutes later he hadn't moved, so I think we can safely assume he wasn't playing Eve. Why should people like this get any protection, from CCP, or even from other miners?
