Well, removing ice from highsec would mean more income for the RMTers that control 0.0, the CSM, and possibly certain devs, so yeah, sooner or later it probably will be. However, one of the devs said that they were taking it off the table for now. It'll probably stay off the table until RMT income starts suffering.

lol, look at goons attacking my suggestion that there are RMTers on the CSM. Guilty much?

Not sure where the number comes from but seems fair , but how much of that is to fuel 0.0 and how much fuels highsec POS's... Who actually needs the yardstick taken to them? Highsec bears or 0.0 alliances?

You Sir are the bot...everytime bringing up that thesis is just causing me to yawn louder and louder as often i hear this coming from one of you guys from Goons.

bringing up the number about saying 95% from ice miners are bots is just laughable if not idiotic at all....sure there are bots...but there are also plenty of players just staying quite in local and only talking with their friends in fleetchat or corpchat while ice harvesting.....and if you blow up one of them, the most of them also stay quite and just warping to the station and dock cause yelling and screaming and cursing at the gankers only fills their egos and many from the miners know about this fact.....and if you think this behauviour makes someone beeing a bot so you are wrong.

That said...i brougth it up a bit above, there are many players which come home from a stressfull day at work and just wanted nothing more then just mine / harvest and relax while chatting with their friends.

LOL So you want to get your iceproduction spoiled by this remove yourselfs....cause i'm pretty sure it was YOUR Master CEO The Mittani who brougth the Hisec ice remove on the table and nobody else.

That's so ironic i'm apparently laughing my bum off cause of this idiotic move and more. Giving the idea to CCP to remove hisec ice and then telling your cheapest resource for Ice products IS currently hisec.......OMG how stupid is that?!

There's already "better" ice in null than in high sec.

In a weird way, the Goon campaign is proving that moving ice into null and allowing it to be controlled (like moons) causes prices to skyrocket and access to drop. Why Goons are choosing to make that point is something I don't know, as I'm unsure whether the leadership does or does not want ice to disappear.

It was flagged in the initial announcement (on the gank campaign) as the weakest link in the economy. Proving how fragile it is might bolster the argument to make ice commodities more stable and available - ie, keep it in highsec and maybe expand th number of systems.

I only worry about wormholes if ice were to move to null and be more easily manipulated, as the POS is the core of WH life.

As a WH roamer, though, I like the idea of finding more and more POS that have run out of fuel ;)
