Remember old arcade games that you had to pay a quarter to play?
Eve is no different then old arcade machines. By paying a quarter to buy a ship you are essentially ensuring that Eve continues. Eve is a military economy, this means that in order to have a healthy eco system ships MUST blow up, so new ones can be built and feed the cycle.
Killing miners, ensures this cycle. By ganking, essentially you are destroying not just the miners ship, but most of the gear PLUS all the ships ganking. This is great for the economy. Instead of one ship being destroyed, 5 to 8 ships are lost. They have to be built again and the minerals are put into production to generate new ships, ISK is spent and the economy cycle continues.
Without this mechanic, the game would actually go into massive inflation. Miners typically have no predators, or risk mining asteroids like drones all day. The ONLY way a miner will lose their ship in highsec is thanks to ganking. It's part of the ecosystem. Learn it, love it and when you are ganked, think of it like spending a quarter to play a really fun space game. It's a game, remember that. |

Um.. O.K.
Why not post in the other thread?
The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the ho's and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!' and I'll look down, and whisper 'Hodor'. |

I guess, I don't see the appeal. It's only fun if they shed tears and respond, otherwise killing a miner is pretty much like mining asteroids. |

I've been referring to them as destructible terrain for years. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

LOL. I suppose. I use to mine, but the game really is a lot more fun when you team up. I'm not saying everyone should quit mining, just remember that you will not be rewarded for going solo. Team up, or struggle alone. |
