Ooh, I tried some stealing already. Was funnier than ever. It's not going to get any hard actually, just ignore the couple guys mining in cruisers/battleships and pick on the others instead 
The criminal flagging seems to be doing what they said but it just makes it slightly more interesting. Had some fun stealing ore already

I mean, how much money do u actually make stealing crappy loot and veldspar from people? Defunitely not as much as ud make running the missions to get the loot in the first place or mining ur own ore. If u form a corp people are never gonna leave u alone, so ur never gonna get big, never gonna do nething really important. If u could just aim a little highter, mebbe proper extortion or really clever scams i could respect you, but come on. Nicking half a can of veldspar from a n00b in 1.0? Do u really wonder why people look down on you so much?
You don't have to concentrate very much on constant playing while doing it. You can have breaks when you wish etc.
Last week I made some 20 millions out of stealing veldspar at 1.0, thanks for asking

it took you a week to make 20 mil? Ouch man
It doesn't sound a lot most likely to many people but consider this:
1. It's entertainment too.
2. It doesn't require a battleship or a lot of trained skills. Even a newbie can do those 20 millions on his first playing week
3. It's very relaxed stuff.

Hi, new to this game, been playin for less than a week. Just a couple of passive observations here. Firstly if this pirating was so wrong then wouldn't the gm's just disable other player's from picking up cans that don't belong to them?
The reason is that some people just love shouting that everything they dislike is BAD and should be banned. There is no rule against pirating or stealing. Never will be. The Eve Online game was designed so that you are allowed to play play versus player too.
In fact if you don't want to get anything stolen from you it's dead simple to stop it from happening and always has been. However some people just love shouting about their close minded views very hard.

I think CPP will shortly understand how they just made the situation a whole lot worse and nerf the self defence of ore thiefs completely.
What they did was that they forced both sides to start using some tactics instead of just clicking one button for the victory. It made the life of both thieves and victims way more interesting. Both can win, both can lose. Both have always equal chances there. It's very sweet.
I was at first very much against the thought but I have seen now both sides working occasionally in the game. It's very very sweet. Please note that there are some side effects. They will most likely go mostly away when the people learn about the new rules. All kinds of madness is possible for a while before that happens. Later it'll get saner.
But nerf the self defence of ore thiefs completely? That's one of the lamest thoughts I have heard in a while. It would allow some lame skilless sobs keep pressing one button for victory all over and over again if the thieving was really removed. The new system forces miners to get into packs and stop mining in some uber-lame 1.0 systems. So, it drives people forward wether they like it or not. And that's good.
Also once more I see some people are making the delusional false assumption that there is something inherently wrong in thievery. There isn't. It's what happens in real life and in the game too. You always could have protected against it extremely well and now are able too. Quote honestly it has taken a complete retard to get your stuff stolen 
What next? You call all that shooting at other player ships too just wrong because omg they can lose their ships? Hey, let's remove all the weapons from the ships so that no one gets hurt.  Pfft. That's just plain lame.
