Just because something is PvP does not automatically make it good PvP. It is the dumbest thing one can do just after hating PvP itself. It is important to ask for the reasons why a play style exists and to see why it is good and why it is bad, because it can be used to improve the PvP experience.

In fact the wrong is that PvP isnt.

I have played other PvP games where I never had to stop PvPing to earn a lot of money by killing scores of people. That was fun and profitable.

EvE PvP should be profitable too. That'd be also an excellent "Joe The 0.0 Grunt" bottom up income.

"afk mining is a valid playstyle" is an oxymoron since "afk" and "gameplay" are fundamentally incompatible but continue to defend your quasi-botting, it is amusing

I think that ganking should only be profitable when the correct target is found. Such as someone who is carrying a massive amount of isk in goods or mods, silly enough to be flying around advertising themselves. General ganking of any-old person should not be profitable. If it were, they'd be even more people claiming to be elite "PvPers" in highsec than there already are. True PvP should be found in low and nullsec space, where is suppose to be going down. But the highsec ganker crowd have found their easy-mode, with their risk-free completely one-sided carebear targets. Why risk an actual PvP battle when they can get their kills and loot so easily from targets that don't shoot back?

Most of them wouldn't know PvP if it came up and slapped them in the face!

I'd argue that pirates are a victim of their own success. They've taught highsec players over and over, the hard way, that coming to lowsec often results in a quick death, often in the jaws of a waiting gatecamp. Now they've succeeded in turning lowsec into a wasteland, seems only logicial they'd move to highsec to continue the slaughter. Who cares that it harms the game as a whole, and prevents newer players from making the natural progression to low and nullsec space? As long as they're getting their easymode, the gankers will continue to defend their niche, and continue to yammer their highsec-hating rhetoric to justify their position.

It is not valid, it's the only way to do it while not going even more insane (more = insanity is being present enough already to make the person mine to begin with).

I always imagine Tippia standing in front of a brick wall while saying these things lol. Because that's how effective it is at convincing the other party that their beliefs are unfounded.

I do know how I see things and have the ability of being even brained and can see things from multiple points of view. I may not always agree with those views...

1) Because convincing anyone out of their ideas on a forum (or television too) is a futile task.

2) Because some of Tippia's posts are boring and/or mind numbing and/or captious enough that would make the brick wall fall asleep.

I think it should be profitable to an extent. Its like getting mugged in real life, if you carry to much value that someone is willing to risk police for they will try and take it from you by force.

There was a problem when peeople could continually farm buddy-program alts and not care about security status because they could activate new accounts with PLEX. It so stupid that mining barges refused to choose fittings, they would only ever fit for max yield. If they fit for tank they become unprofitable to gank but they absolutely refuse to do this, they just cry until CCP change the ship stats so they can only fit for max yield.
