Then Ganking came into the game in a big way and reduced the numbers of miners and macros until finally Hulkaggendon arrived which then made mining almost a none event except a few brave soles like my self mining in very out of the way places, about this time or not long after, CCP made a stand against RMT and got rid of many macro mining accounts.
There was a period of about a year or may be a bit longer when the belts grew fat with very few brave enough to go mining in high sec because of the eve present threat ganking. The markets shot up as the cost of loot reached new all time highs as players used refined loot to make ships instead of mined minerals. What was CCPGÇÖs answer to this they cut the amount of loot being gathered from missions and rats in general. CCP actively tried to force players to go mining again. But it did not workGǪGǪ..
Fast forward to recent times. CCP have given the whole mining ship situation a buff. We all know of the many changes made which has very much improved the mining situation in high sec, making it harder to gank many mining ships. BUT! Where are we today, well I will tell youGǪGǪ.
Hordes of macro miners roaming about the belts freely sucking away at the newly re-spawned tiny specks of asteroids currently in the belts of high sec. Yes folks we have come FULL CIRCLE.
CCP I have got to ask how could you be so short sighted as to not see this coming, I mean seriously this has to be the worst form of game management I have ever seen.
I have roamed the high sec systems until I have gone almost blind and there are no belts worth mining left any whereGǪGǪ..DonGÇÖt take my word for it go look your self.
I fully expect the flamers to bark that there are many fat belts around the place or that I should go mining in low sec or null but thatGÇÖs not how I wish to play. I really have been far and wile and there is nothing worthy out there to mine in high security space.
Is this game over for the many players who simply wish to log on and spend a few quiet hours making isk. CCP are you going to scrifice these players for the sake of macro miners AGAIN?!
IF this is not a troll, that sucks. I have not been to h i sec for a very long time, but if new folks can't find something to mine, there's a problem that needs addressed. But have heart, CCP will not let their new players suffer long, and by proxy you will benefit too.
