Definitely a valid concept, but one would hope the numbers would be a little better in reality. If a miner is only making 5 million in profit from the act of buying and fitting a retriever, mining for hours in it, losing it, and buying and fitting their next retriever . . . .

I mean ratting in nullsec makes 5 million in the time it takes to buy and fit the new Retriever alone. No wonder some miners get so collicky when you gank them if they're doing all that to clear 5 million isk . . .

what whining?

Also I didnt say they were good bodyguards just invincible.

If he succeeded, then why wasn't he boasting of his success, as he usually does so well. No he was just pissed off and logged out.
James315 is just a pathological egomaniac, nothing more. He would feel powerful with his (supposedly) risk free gank strategy, he wants attention on him like a kid. As the op pointed out, he would never accept any duels, even after taunting people into asking a duel. No balls at all. Avoiding real PvP by ganking miners who cannot fight back - that's about all what he can do.

1) Why everything about James 315, said by him or not, has to involve biblic walls of text?

2) In case this gank happened, James 315 has actually succeeded. One of his objectives is to wake up some miners from their slumber and show them more of the full game. This is what happened. 1 in a 1000 but happened.

Yea, gankers are cowerdly. It's all they have, and they call it pvp.

That's pretty pathetic. Maybe you should play your own game instead of worrying about how others play theirs. Seek help for your disorder.

'ISK tanking' is the fallacious concept that an expensive DEFENSELESS INDUSTRIAL ship (freighters) shouldn't be ganked by fifty smaller COMBAT ships when those fifty smaller COMBAT ships cost less

It's not real

Really... you believe this...

I bet you buy/sell stuff off the market, that upsets other people and interferes with their gameplay.

I bet you mine in belts with other miners, your mining rocks they can't, your interfering with their gameplay.

I worry about how other people play the game because everything you do in this game effects how other people play.

From AFK cloakers to Jita spammers to Alliance FC's to people who want to mine by themselves everything is done to effect someone elses game play.

Worrying about how others play the game can be summed up in 3 words.
Know thy Enemy.

I keep getting ganked, someone please help, as I am helpless

Oh, hey, I speak forumese, let me translate




I should start charging isk for my translator services, but this one was free,

Oh, no, fail again. Sorry to pea in your wheaties. Eat up.

Rofl

Peas are delicious.

Truly an astonishing insight to the minds of people you don't know. Tell me, Mr. Psychic, what other revelations have you?

Well when you shoot at targets that don't shoot back... You are avoiding real combat and to some would mean you are more risk adverse than others who shoot at targets who can possibly kill them. I suppose people can call that cowardly which I suppose it is if you think about it.

I don't mind. I shot at retrievers before and won.

I suppose its better than killing ventures with a thrasher.

Those pesky drones get my barges in trouble all the time, what with having the ability attack.

Oh and a mix of 2 hob IIs and 3 ec-300s work VERY VERY well.

Just FYI.

Oh and that brings up a point...

If I used a cheap ass vexor to gank using nothing but t1 sentry drones.... would that be fair?

I mean, I'd be using the same actions a miner could use, except I wouldn't have mining lasers.

So, win with disadvantage?
