Making a ship that is currently mining an immovable object would backfire horribly. All the bad men would have to do is send in a few rookie ships with their civilian mining lasers, form up around your barge and start mining.... suddenly you cannot move. I think we know what happens shortly thereafter, yes? |

CCP tends to only fix things they consider broken. Despite many moons of debate, they still do not consider the mechanic of bumping to be broken. My magic 8 ball tells me that this is unlikely to change. As there are methods in existence to prevent this kind of thing from happening already, pretty sure it's highly unlikely that they'll do much to change things. |

Whining on the forums is consequence free PVP on the meta level. Something needs to be done with this broken mechanic. Why doesn't CONCORD do something about this? And where are the faction grammar police at when there is obviously so much need for them in enforcing the proper use of words like 'harassment, griefing, defenseless, and helpless'?
Btw, if you check the wikipedia article on griefer... and read all the way to the bottom, you'll find this little gem...
'Eve Online has incorporated activities typically considered griefing as part of the gameplay mechanism. Corporate spying, theft, scams, gate-camping, and PVP on non-PVP players are all part of their gaming experience.'
If the devs and gm's really had a problem with this mechanic and how it's being used they would have done something about it years ago. Use the tools you have available to you, they are the same as everyone else has. Just please stop asking for all the corners and sharp edges in the universe to be padded with foam. |

There was a moment of epiphany that my buddies and I had in the way back... not all the way, I'm not that old... but that was that certain ships in this game, while most certainly very awesome at what they do, are simply not meant to be properly utilized ALONE. My bud spent ages training into a command ship only to face the sinking realization that it's full awesomeness could really only be brought to bear in a fleet. I trained a stealth bomber up and realized that alone it had about zero pve applications. We were both sad pandas. He left. I stayed til the first ragequit (there were more than one).
Haulers and miners, with certain exceptions, fall into this category as well. Sure, you can fly your max yield victimbarge solo, but not safely. Likewise you can stuff all the expanded cargohold mods possible onto a hauler and fly it solo. You may get away with it a dozen times. You may get away with it hundreds of times.... but the law of averages is not in your favor, and when the hammer comes down, lady fortune will ensure that it's when you're packing the better part of your worldlies in the hold.
These ships operate best as part of teams. Scouts, webbers, counterbumpers for your haulers, Orcas and defenders for your mining ops. If you don't put forth the full effort to ensure the safety of these kind of boats bad things are going to happen to them.... preventable bad things.
Your enemies will be organized and vigilant. If you are not then you will be their next meal. Fly safe isn't just a figure of speech. |

This is what makes borderliners become hardliners. When faced with the absolute tenacity of lazy and stupid combining forces any rational mind is confronted with a limited number of choices. You can ignore it, you can refute it, or you can lash out and attempt to quash it violently with prejudice. I mean you can try to educate and convert them over to rational thinking, but by the time the shiptoasting begins you're already too late. All that's left to be done at that point is to try to curbstomp them into submission in hopes that they'll be unable to spread their mindless vitriol further. Unfortunately this just exacerbates that annoying whining sound and creates more threadnaughts about how the sandbox should have safety rails and foamed up corners. It's a daunting, seemingly unwinnable battle... |

The real question here is do you actually know anything? You can guess, think, suppose & speculate as much as you want, but do you actually know anything?
The answer is no. But by all the gods, angels and demons in all the pantheons he'll not relent until the world acknowledges that he's right in whatever point it is that he's trying to make, regardless of whether or not of it's actual veracity. For the love of all that's unholy please kill it with fire and make it stop poasting. |

Veers. No amount of verbal diarrhea is going to make you right. And to be truthful you have shat an epic amount on the forums in the name of those who can't be bothered to make a serious effort to be prepared, wary, and wise.
Ordinarily I'd say of course that an innocent bear shall be murdered in thy name for the your offenses against HTFU... but honestly with the absolute torrent of wrong-mindedness that's been spewed I can't even quantify just how many should be slain to compensate for your relentless assault of wave after wave of drivel.
All your unceasing retaliations against logic serve to accomplish is to bury any sane and rational debate on the relevant issues at hand beneath a multitude of pages of people explaining to you how you are wrong, mixed in with your refusal to accept the realities of New Eden.
For the love of all that is unholy, stop.
