Depends, see the answer to the quote above which should cover this as well. If the victim just moved next door, that could still be interpreted as 'general area of operation', if the miner starts changing regions and is still being followed around by the same person that keeps bumping in a regular manner then the intent is pretty clear. Note that I said person, not character, so regional alts will be considered be the same player in this regard.[/quote]
Do not get me wrong but that at least partly puts a lock on emergent gameplay and prospering buissnes models.
There even were already growing some movements growing driven by miners to oppose so called bumpers. Minerbumping led to loners engeging in group activities to help themselves. Although the niveau might not have been especially high, the comunication between players in high sec also increased.
The need for those movements that united in the sight of the common bumper-enemy decreases with this development.
While more and more 0.0 alliances struggle to find enough industrialists or miners seeding their markets, high sec afk mining and botting is prosperous and florishes.
Although the statement you made leaves a lot of space for interpretation and case sensitive treatment the general direction of the policy does not help any of the involved parties. I might be wrong but you sure will be flooded with petitions...worse than before.
In the end the general tenor in the mentioned bumping thread seemed overall "pro-bumping" with only a few very loud and determined "anti-bumping" proponents...but that might be a thing of perception.
Finally I have to say that it is good that there is a position from CCP now. Now the terms can be discussed ;-)

I find your argument invalid, as a highly skilled industrialist and everything else when i was in null sec in multiple alliance and corps i was not given the time i needed to produce items as industrialist were threated with being thrown out of the alliance/corp if we did not get a combat ship and go sit in a system far from HQ and wait for a possible attack that usually never came or we would have to go on huge roams to protect our area (which was usually many jumps away in enemy space) but as of recent ive stopped mining in empire as ive moved across the area being chased by awoxors, CODE alliance, and other gankers that want to do nothing but kill the industry or make a profit themselves from it. |
