I don't have anything against CODE and quite frankly as a cloaky pilot that spends most of his time in w-space, lowsec and null I've been mostly ignorant about who the hell they were. What does annoy me is the constant bawing and whining from the carebear community that will write up tear infested "woe is me" threads. So i'm going to offer you people (yeah YOU PEOPLE I SAID IT) some advice the very same way I would one of my clients...but less nice because you aren't paying me.
I don't know if this will get moderated out but watch this video. Although we're not dealing with the specific issues outlined in the video, the concepts cross over. CODE numbers are smaller than that of all the highsec miners. They have organization, individual benefits, selective incentives, and a focus on what they want to do. Most of all this focus is based on co-operation with other members within their group.
Miners on the other hand don't really benefit from working together. Usually they are rivals over common resources. There's no personal incentive to "try to do something about CODE" other than some whiny waterworks show on a forum that'll get the writer ridiculed and laughed at. Someone except someone else to "do something about it" thus introducing the free-rider problem. So what can be done?
1. Quit making whiny bawfest threads that annoy me and make you look like an idiot. HTFU
2. Stop flying T2 mining vessels. You're in highsec ffs. There is literally no reason for you to fly a 200 mil mining vessel. It's like taking a Nightmare or Marauder out belt ratting in some 0.9 system. Put an ECM and/or T1 logi alt in belt with you and fit your mining ships for buffer so they can catch reps. Do it on your passive income PI/research/whatever you do account.
3. Gank the gankers. Gankers generally use cheap blasterfit catys to knock your mining vessels back into the ore field whence they came from. It's a question of economics. They lose a cheap ship while you lose a more expensive one. Solution? Fit a cheaper ship and gank their ganking ships. Seriously a gank caty has **** all for tank, you could do it in t1 frigates.
4. Now most of the miners are going to free ride regardless. Those people can go **** themselves. You need to find the half dozen other groups that have followed the above steps and pool some isk together and hire mercs. Which ones? Well it's a question of numbers really so with Marmite and Forsaken having the best mix of numbers, those two should cripple some of the mobility of CODE.
5. No one is going to solve your problems for you. That's why they're called YOUR problems. And no one's interested in turning Eve into a ****** theme park WoW-fest spaceship farmsville simulator. Some of the things spouted by some miners here is enough to make even non CODE members go gank you.

the problem isnt that they need to go find a group or organize. If miners followed the common sense stuff the code actually do say; Tank your ship, be at your keyboard and attentive and be prepared for **** to hit the fan. Then there would be a lot less ganks and gankable targets.
The code can do what they do because of the herd mentality of miners, even if some are smart so they tank their ship, watch dscan and local. there will be 10 other miners in the same system with no tank and not realizing they are dead until 5 min after the gank. |

Seraph IX Basarab wrote: Some of the things spouted by some miners here is enough to make even non CODE members go gank you. yep, I'm not a ganker, but some of those carebear insults were so heavy that I remember ending up bumping those guys out of range when I had time... the results were quite satisfying, and yeah it was fun. when I get back I might even contact some large high sec groups to destroy a few care bear corps who annoy me with their arrogant and greedy attitude.
however, I still prefer ganker tears. 
and I agree with the OP: there is a serious amount of whining threads regularly created in C&P by the gank-victim carebears. While some of them learn a lesson and tank their ships, others come to forums and cry. yet they have everything they need to avoid the ganks...
another thing I've noticed: those whining threads are quite similar to each other. even the replies are all similar because people end up replying in the same way. so similar that I have made the following observation with time:
a typical whining thread in C&P will usually go like this:
1) the carebear creates the thread with a long wall of text, involving not-so-stealth "Grr CODE", about why CONCORD should be buffed, ganking should be nerfed and all gankers are basement sociopaths who are real life murderers blah blah etc. etc.
(a quick killboard check of his character will usually show a very recent mining barge/orca loss to gankers. what a coincidence!)

much good post until this part. hiring "mercs" against the CODE. alliance = giving your ISK away to someone for literally 0 results. look how hard we trashed the noble mermaids led by the brave tomato burrito (space bushido!) in their little war campaign. is that even still going on? and who hires "mercs" to war dec a bunch of -10 sec players anyway? you don't even need a war, just a gun.
these miners think the CODE. is running some huge scam by offering mining permits for a whopping 10 million ISK per year, someone get tora to pop into this thread plz and disclose how many hundreds of billions he has taken from angry miners with promises of having some effect against the CODE. alliance, please. you want a scam, miners, there's your big scam right in front of your eyes. word is that he's been doing this for years now.
also, your post fails to state the most obvious fact which is that the CODE always wins. always!
on the other hand, your post inspired good reaction gifs and made me laugh and told the carebears to HTFU and stop crying for just one more nerf, just one more nerf please oh ccp save us so we can fly untanked hulks while farmvilling like the space god intended
also veers has not started ranting here about real life criminals and cybertorture or calling people idiots yet so my final score is
overall 7.2285 out of 10 would click again |

Many people would rather spend billions for a good cause than spend pennies to an extortionist.
Because spending billions on a good cause is doing something about it, amirite? |

It's a legit survival technique. It's called cheap-tanking. Not sure I'd say there's no reason to fly T2, though. If I were to mine, I'd be tempted to settle for T1 while just AFK mining. If I get blow'd up, so what? It's only a 30mil ISK loss.

I'm a carebear who's been in a lot of carebear corps, and never been ganked while mining nor even known of any corpmate ganked while mining. Are we doing something wrong? We tend to mine in groups and never AFK, maybe that's it. And no I never heard of anyone buying a CODE permit. |

HighSec miners are not the main victims of CODE or whatever kind of HighSec gankers.
What about new players? Players who recently joined EVE? Doing some missions, gathering some ore in the belts? How many of those already quit playing EVE because they got shot by "pirates" while moving to Jita in their first industrial?
What EVE Online needs are new players. Players who stay with us (!) in New Eden. Players who spend their money for PLEX and populate our universe.

2nd proposal: buff CONCORDE. They should be everywhere in HighSec and destroy every capsuleer who targets an other player.
You think that's too extreme? Think about the decrease in the number of players who quit playing EVE within their first week because they got ganked in HighSec. |

I was going to pull out the standard response about what kind of game this is, the CCP Falcon oratory and the like, but I think I will just say that if you think this is possible without breaking much of the sandbox that makes Eve so unique in the MMO game space, you are sadly mistaken.
And what is the point of mollycoddling new players to the reality of what type of game this is? At some point they will have to get use to their ship exploding - this is a competitive PvP sandbox after all. Eventually they will do something, lose a ship and then quit. If anything, we should take the opposite approach and not let players leave the starting tutorials until they have lost a dozen ships to other new players in PvP, some of them unexpectedly while they are doing something else. That is much more likely to get players used to loss, and soften the blow when they unexpectedly lose that first ship to another player.
Sabriz Adoudel for CSM 10 is a good idea.

You think that's too extreme? Think about the decrease in the number of players who quit playing EVE within their first week because they got ganked in HighSec. That is too extreme. While yes, I'm sure there's some players that quit because of being ganked, there are also many players who quit due to boredom. Removing ganking entirely would just shift people from quitting because they got ganked to quitting because they got bored. Ganking needs to stay. There's certainly balance issue that needs to be worked out however as it's too easy to gank a player and too difficult to reactively deal with a gank attempt. More tools should be given to allow people to fight back against a gank attempt rather than automatic mechanic buffs like concord response time decreases. The only change I'd make to concord is one Black Pedro suggested a while back which is varied response times, so concord might arrive in 10 secs, they might arrive in 50.

No, don't change the game, change the new players' expectations. How about tutorial missions where the new player gets ganked by an initially non-hostile NPC in their starter ship, then the agent gives them a new one, for example? If they get ganked while mining or moving cargo, they will at least not have a "WTF!?!?" reaction, and think it's some sort of unsanctioned exploit. |

I think there's a clear difference between mercenaries enjoying being on CONCORD kms and them actually protecting their clients (either by denying kills or by eliminating offending entity). So far, it seems there's an obvious bias toward first option, with Marmites less caring about the effect of their action, striving to be in as many CONCORD kms as possible.
I observed this strange obsession with CONCORD KMs in anti-ganking channel, but am very surprised to see respected mercenaries falling for the same fallacy. |

Why stop there? What if a new player accidentally wanders into lowsec? What if he accepts a hisec mission into lowsec? What if he goes afk during missions? These could all lead to a dead ship, and a new player who leaves eve. Therefore, i think the only proposal should be, new players have immortal ships that can never die. Any player that is less than 5 months old, have ships that reach 1 structure, but no less.
And of course, new players are also off limits for everything else that might make them want to leave. If a new player joins a player owned corp, that corp cannot be wardecced for 5 months. If a new player falls for a scam, CCP reimburses that player and bans the scammer.
I mean, who cares if its completely game-breaking. Who cares if it completely changes what Eve is all about. All that matters is new player retention. We want a game that mirrors Star Trek Online. Completely safe. No risk. |

People who quit EVE in the first sight of danger shouldn't really be here. I got ganked, robbed, lied (paid to be released by pirates, what a mistake) numerous times when I was a new player. Did I quit? No! I learned. There was a time when I mined too and got ganked a few times --> switched to Procurer --> problem solved. Let 'em try killing 30k + ehp and even if they do, the ship can't get any cheaper. Problem solved. That's for solo miners ofc, if you are in groups there are many other options. |

Not really, since my objection is pretty clearly stated. If all you care about is new player retention, theres no reason to stop at simply outlawing nonconsensual PVP in hisec. After all, i have no doubts that there are new players who were can flipped, baited, scammed, and entered hisec and died, only to quit eve in rage.
What hes basically saying, is that his ideas arent extreme, because new player retention is the most important thing right now.
But thats not what eves about. The central concept of Eve is that the universe is a harsh place. Unforgiving. Only those that rise to the challenge, get to explore all of its wonders and horrors. All of his ideas utterly ignore and demolish these concepts. |

Nice of you to decide who should and shouldn't be part of the game. I have never really been ganked or scammed in this game...it's very possible to lead a collaborative and fun highsec life without PvP combat. No one needs your permission to play as they choose to. |

That's all well and good, but if CCP just ignore the fact that their player retention is incredibly dire, there won't be a game left for you to not quit. And to be fair, the game is a lot harsher now than it used to be, purely because the players looking to pirate you in highsec are so much more organised, and have a focus of purposely trolling players.

EVE is a sandbox, where one part of it is the ability to blow up other players against their will. There's considerably more to EVE than just that, and the idea that EVE is harsh is laughable considering how easy it is to not be affected by anything other people do.

That's not what I meant. I don't decide anything, it's just my opinion. I see people overreacting (check the pirate story thread in crime & punishment) and even threaten the players to kill them in real life or things like that, which is a bannable offence by the way. These people will get themselves a heart attack if they really are so angry about losing a ship in a game lol...I am just saying maybe, just maybe they picked the wrong game to play. Don't get me wrong I am all in for more players to come. In fact I hope I'll die first to EVE Oh, god, let it be a looong life  |

Ccp you want lots of cash right? Screw this new player retention you got recently and just collect 20$ from tons (literaly) of people a month to kick this idiot out.
Also any who says, U Cant do that! CCP.l cant do that! Or whateva else.... Yes they can and yes they would do almost anything for lots more cash right now. Ccp this is your jackpot!! Well, that was a useful and constructive post...apparently the new solution to combating people you disagree with on the forums is to try to bribe the game developers to ban them from the game. Sounds like high class elite PvP to me.... Dear C & P, Veers is one of CODE alliance's most valuable assets. Any attack on Veers will be considered an attack on James 315. Thank you Management
Continuing the CODE tripe as usual...they have never been more upset or frustrated by anyone in the game as they are with me.....Loyalanon is reduced to sputtering rage, and James 315 is afraid to even log in. |

Yeah, right, i forgot about how easy Eve is, for people. Thats why we never have threads ranting about how people got ganked by Code and want to remove/ban/nerf something. Thats why Minerbumping has 0 blogposts because no one gets ganked, and no one cries or whines about it. Thats why CCP never had to do an official statement about their stance on Bumping, because no one filed petitions and whined about how this was harrassment or an exploit.
Yup, Eve is a nice, easy place full of unicorns and rainbows.
But then again, i suppose its easy not to be affected by anything other people do, if all you do is stay docked up. |

I have to agree on the topic of tanking, seriously the health of most mining ships is good , but a little armor instead of expanded cargo holds might make mining a lot safer. Or at the very least keep one alive long enough for concord rage to arrive. |

You know, I find it funny. Both groups say hey leave high sec and there isn't a problem anymore. Yet I notice groups who say this 1. never leave high sec, or spend more time in high sec then they would in low and null. 2. Why would anyone wanna go to low and null, when they can get just as much content whenever they want in high.
I can't be the only one who notices the contradiction can I ? |

Let's see. He suggests removing highsec aggression, you suggest removing any method a character younger than 5 months in age can be killed, player driven or not, as well as any an all scams or any other negative forms of behaviour against the same category of player. An you can't see why that's considerably more ridiculous?

I'm aware there can be, but you said "The central concept of Eve is that the universe is a harsh place" which implies that there's just one and that's it. Had you said "One of the central conepts of Eve is that the universe is a harsh place" then that would not have been the case.

But then again, i suppose its easy not to be affected by anything other people do, if all you do is stay docked up. People will always complain about things they feel are unfair to them. That doesn't make the game harsh. Hell, have you not seen WoW players complaining about WoW? The fact is that everything in EVE boils down to isk, and isk can be earned in massive volumes passively or simply bought for cash if you fancy buying some plex. I've never in my entire time of playing EVE ever got to the point where I've lost something I couldn't immediately replace, and I've lost some pretty expensive stuff. Compare that to when I played Neocron back when it was actually harsh, where 1 false step meant you dropped your 4 slot CS which you might never see again, and EVE is a walk in the park.
The idea that EVE is harsh is a marketing tactic, that's all. The game mechanics don't really match that. If it was harsh, you wouldn't be able to roll out an AFKtar and earn billions, you wouldn't be able to blitz L4s and you certainly wouldn't be able to hide behind alts when ganking freighters in dirt cheap ships.

Personally I think ignoring and reporting you is a great start for a prospective CSM.

The fact is that his campaign falls around the idea of "Evil is good", which sounds great until you realise that it doesn't matter how ridiculous an idea is, he's behind it as long as it sounds evil. There are plenty of "evil" ideas you'd reject instantly for how game breaking they would be.

There is only one thing that needs to be said to that and that is: Calm down miner and handover the ISK for the mining permit! Nice attempt fella, but I'm not an ISBoxer user, haven't been for a loooooong time (neither have I mined for a pretty substantial amount of time).
And surely if what I wanted was payback, I'd be joining you lot, since the vast majority of whining about ISBoxer came from miners who think having multiple accounts is unfair. But no, I'm on the side of having a fun and enjoyable game all round. That doesn't mean siding completely with any one group of players, I'm a fan of all playstyles. I'm certainly not a fan of CSM candidates who wants to only support ideas which benefit themselves and crap on everyone else.

You might have a point if I were the only person he'd responded in that way to, but almost any criticism he receives is met with insults and the blocklist. He's even admitted that he put his name forward for the CSM as a joke and just thought he'd stick around.
You can put your votes where you like of course, but if you back a guy like this because you have some weird personal hatred towards me for some random thing said in a thread ages ago, then that's pretty sad.

Understand that you're not going to provoke me into getting upset over software which I don't use getting restricted making it less useful for an activity I don't perform. No matter how hard you try, the outcome of your trolling attempts is likely to extend no further than landing yourself a forum ban.
Best of luck though!

You're trying to invoke a response first by claiming I am crying, second by claiming that using isboxer was cheating (it never was, it's simply a rule that has changed - multiplexing now would be cheating), thirdly that I was a multiboxing miner and thus and heavily hit by the change, and finally that I'm posting for payback as if code were responsible for the change.
If you really had read that thread, you'd know that I have used ISBoxer in the past and thus know what it can actually do, but I'm not a current user and haven't either used that or mined for quite some time. You'd also know that I had no objection to multibplexing being against the rules, nor did I have an issue with ISBoxer itself being made against the rules. What I had an issue with was the mass of grey area which has (as I originally stated it would) caused several manual multiboxers using no tools to be banned from the game.

As this is now going wildly off topic, I'm done discussing this with you here. If you want to continue you can either start up a separate thread somewhere relevant or mail me directly.

Of course a games gonna be easier for a skilled veteran, playing for multiple years and having accumulated a substantial amount of ISK.
But were not talking about that. Were talking about new players. The original response I responded to, was a discussion about new player retention.
Yes, eve is easier for us people who have been playing for 1-2+ years. Thats no surprise. Does that change the fact that both the learning curve of Eve, and the new player experience, is often times an extremely harsh one? No. Does this change the fact that new players arent always gonna be smart, and sometimes lose what they cant afford to fly? No.
I mean, when you run around the WoW starter zones, do you see people in new characters being greifed and scammed and have their characters be killed by other high level chars? |

As I have now corrected you all ambiguity has disappeared.
What you stated was still what you stated, even if you want to go back and revise it.

I'm not really sure how that matters. What you implied was that people whining indicated that a game was harsh. Wow players do in fact whine all the time, and yet it's generally accepted that WoW is the epitome of a themepark MMO. I suppose that will be revised and my interpretation of that will be wrong too.

I mean, when you run around the WoW starter zones, do you see people in new characters being greifed and scammed and have their characters be killed by other high level chars? The game isn't particularly harsh on new players either, and certainly not by design. The only thing that is "harsh" on new players is how many veterans go out of their way to berate new players once they've destroyed their first few ships. It's like walking into an unmoderated chatroom with spaceships in it. I'm quite often convinced that many of the veterans here don't want new players in the game. You're going to have to do a lot of convincing if you want me to believe that a "central concept" of EVE is purposely trolling noobs out of the game, and when I joined that certainly wasn't anywhere near as common as it is now. Sure, you got blown up but you didn't get so much "LOL, rekt, gtfo noob, go back to wow, cry moar" and other such welcoming comments when it happened.
I've played games that are actually harsh by design, that have serious consequences if you lose a fight. EVE is simply not one of those games these days. EVE is just the 4chan of video games.

We all know that very rarely will anyone be "defeated" since even stripped of all power people still bleat from the sidelines about how they are still there. It's pretty safe to say that CODE is as defeated as the highsec carebears they fight however. So both sides are losing.

much good post until this part. hiring "mercs" against the CODE. alliance = giving your ISK away to someone for literally 0 results. look how hard we trashed the noble mermaids led by the brave tomato burrito (space bushido!) in their little war campaign. is that even still going on? and who hires "mercs" to war dec a bunch of -10 sec players anyway? you don't even need a war, just a gun. these miners think the CODE. is running some huge scam by offering mining permits for a whopping 10 million ISK per year, someone get tora to pop into this thread plz and disclose how many hundreds of billions he has taken from angry miners with promises of having some effect against the CODE. alliance, please. you want a scam, miners, there's your big scam right in front of your eyes. word is that he's been doing this for years now. also, your post fails to state the most obvious fact which is that the CODE always wins. always! on the other hand, your post inspired good reaction gifs and made me laugh and told the carebears to HTFU and stop crying for just one more nerf, just one more nerf please oh ccp save us so we can fly untanked hulks while farmvilling like the space god intended also veers has not started ranting here about real life criminals and cybertorture or calling people idiots yet so my final score is overall 7.2285 out of 10 would click again
Reason's I won't buy a license. No out of game offense intended. 1. You don't always honor them. 2. I'd rather have you come after me and take the ISK from me if you can. I'm not your b**ch. 3. With all those AFK Miners and AFK Freighters you have such a target rich environment anyway. 4. It would take me out of the content your generating.

What EVE Online needs are new players. Players who stay with us (!) in New Eden. Players who spend their money for PLEX and populate our universe.
How can we achieve this? 1st proposal: no offensive action against other players in HighSec should be possible. No shooting at them, no targeting, no jamming, no whatever.
2nd proposal: buff CONCORDE. They should be everywhere in HighSec and destroy every capsuleer who targets an other player.
You think that's too extreme? Think about the decrease in the number of players who quit playing EVE within their first week because they got ganked in HighSec.
Speaking as someone who seems to be stuck in High-Sec. This is too extreme. Isn't already really difficult to gank someone in a 1.0 or 0.9 system where you start off anyway? Can anyone give me stats on new players quiting because of code. I played for 1 year without never being ganked. Came back after quiting because the game was so boring and got ganked after about 4 months. Learned to tank my ships and have had gank attempts happen but none successfully after that.. more fun.
I mean in game, if you want to try to take down CODE, I'm willing to help. To take them down through nerfing, not interested. |

It's like me saying to you "You think jump fatigue is a problem ?" , they move to high-sec.
Hi Sec antagonists win by blowing up people or otherwise hurting their bottom line. You want the big kill mails, and the humorous stories of others being careless. That's fine and I support that 100%, and even indulge in it from time to time. If you really wanted to defeat Hi Sec gankers, you'd deprive them of this victory condition by simply not being a valid target in the areas they almost exclusively operate, as well as encouraging others to do the same. Living where gankers congregate is giving them an open license for victimizing you, as well as making their victory condition easy to attain. You may win a battle with falcons or smartbombs or counterbumping or whatever, but you could potentially do a lot more to rob them of their jollies if targets moved out of Hi Sec. A causal perusing of killboards confirms the rather limited reach of most of the industrial strength ganking alliances, or at least the ones that make the most noise.
Jump Fatigue is not a problem at all. It has made my life considerably better, in fact.

Your character was only active since 2007 so i thought you were a 2007 player, but okay.
Just because a game is harsh, doesnt mean that it is harsh in all manners and respects, no matter how you play or how you might go on to mitigate the risks and chances of losing all your stuff. After all, a game that is harsh just for the sake of being harsh is a stupid game.
Quote:The game isn't particularly harsh on new players either, and certainly not by design. The only thing that is "harsh" on new players is how many veterans go out of their way to berate new players once they've destroyed their first few ships. It's like walking into an unmoderated chatroom with spaceships in it. I'm quite often convinced that many of the veterans here don't want new players in the game. You're going to have to do a lot of convincing if you want me to believe that a "central concept" of EVE is purposely trolling noobs out of the game, and when I joined that certainly wasn't anywhere near as common as it is now. Sure, you got blown up but you didn't get so much "LOL, rekt, gtfo noob, go back to wow, cry moar" and other such welcoming comments when it happened.

Im sure people like this would disagree with you.
But you make it sound as if people leave this game more because they were trolled, rather than because they lost almost all their assets in one swift swoop.
I mean, theres a thread here on C&P of a guy who was scammed out of his 300 dollars worth of plex, saying he was gonna leave this game for good. Do you honestly think that hes leaving because he was trolled, or because all of his assets were utterly and completely stolen? |

I did read your sentence, and what it basically boiled down to is "would WoW be more harsh f WoW was more harsh". That doesn't really affect EVE. I'm not saying i's impossible for a game to be harsh, what I was saying is that the fact that people complain about losses in games doesn't make them harsh, as evidenced by people complaining about themepark MMOs.

Indeed, but it does need to be harsh in at least some respects. The only things that people say are harsh in EVE are thing which boil down to requiring isk to replace (scams, ship explosion, podding) and as ISK is easy to make while asleep, it pretty much makes any loss irrelevant.
When they put in forced permadeath or loss of serious SP on ship loss or even just made it significantly harder to replace your losses, I might agree it's harsh. All that really differentiates EVE from other games at the moment is that scams and emergent gameplay considered bannable in other games because they generally promote spamming and antisocial behaviour isn't bannable here.

Look around the forums and you'll find people disagreeing with thins that are clearly true. Disagreeing with something doesn't mean they are right. Certainly from a mechanics standpoint, the game isn't designed to be particularly harsh on newbies. The only reason they get more losses than anyone else is because they haven't learned to dodge the players who farm them for easy kills yet.
I'd bet that considerably more people leave because of the way they are treated socially within the game than from losing their ships. Sure, you can point to a thread where someone is leaving because he dumped a sum of real life cash into the game and got it robbed almost immediately, but that in itself doesn't prove that people leave from the losses. I'm sure some quit over losing their stuff, that always going to happen, but what tends to get people upset to the point of ragequit is when they get bombarded with insults and purposely prodded and poked until they are stressed out. For many bittervets, it's not good enough that they destroy someone's ship, they want them to cry about it.

I am serious about that.
The White House is generally considered high security, yet the Secret Service has been taking some real flak lately over breaches and lapses. High sec isn't safe, just safer. Oh, and empire space is already in the game - high sec and low sec both fit this description.

You have the correct attitude towards us.
Personally, if someone quits Eve because they were ganked, then they would have quit eventually due to something else. Those who get ganked and learn from it, or manage to go a long time without being ganked, are players who can and maybe will remain in Eve. Eve is a cold hard place, if new players can't take a hit on the chin, they won't last whether we gank them or not.
Back when I was mining I only got ganked once, and it took 10 Test Alliance catalysts to kill a single one of my Mackinaws and the second target warped off in half shields. I didn't complain, I congratulated them as being the first ones to succeed. Besides, they brought enough firepower they deserved the kill.
And yes, ganking in a 1.0 or 0.9 is quite difficult, you need to bring way more firepower than you actually want to. We spent 150 million ganking a guy who was live streaming with no delay, he was flying a retriever in a 1.0 system. What we brought was overkill, but it gives you an idea.

How about no.
Eve is and has always been about the uncertainty of space (pixels). In this environment I can, if I wish, shoot your spaceship. What you 'ought to do in return is either get even, or get smarter, or both.
If you cannot, or will not put forth the required amount of effort (some google searches and reading) to counter your opponent, then I'm sorry, this is not the right game for you. If this happens to be a "new" player, and they cannot handle losing their precious spaceship in a video game about losing spaceships, they should not be playing.
However, most new players I've encountered asked me all sorts of questions about what I did and how I did it; I am more than happy to oblige. These players are so grateful as they actually learned something from someone who comprehends the mechanics and sometimes they go out and try something piratey for themselves and realize it's way more fun than shooting little red crosses, or mining space rocks.
I dare say you couldn't be more wrong and that Eve piracy breathes life into Eve Online.
But, because your passive income is at risk you yell bloody murder and carry on about the new players.

How to defeat CODE-type tactics: 0: To keep your sanity, find something else to do while mining. 1: Figure out how the combat system actually works. Google may find how-to guides, but isn't so good at analysis. Yet. 2: Mine with fighter escort nearby, maybe a couple of mission runners. This fighter escort should be able to handle close-range action and be able to scram and maybe web. For the fighters, learning teamwork when running the mission wouldn't hurt, either, cause it's a very multiplayer game. |

Yield my friend is the reason why to use a T2 barge, and they also have better caps and can fit better tanks. Problem is most miners have never heard of fitting a tank. I stopped flying Hulks and went to Skiffs. The reason is simple. The massive tank you can fit. 71K EHP without boosts vs 10K EHP on a hulk. Sure I give up a some yield, but I would see the gank fleet it would take to take down my Skiffs the moment they came in the system. Skiffs are notorious for the amount of firepower it takes to bring one down.
I try to be nice and mind my business just shooting lasers at rocks. There is just way too many asshats in New Eden for that to happen.

Now for my favourite part - stats.

The logical way to defeat Code would be to uninstall this game and go about your business irl.
Just like Peter Pan left Never Never Land in the film Hook to grow up.
He even gave his stuff away to the Lost Boys before he left, but he still came back i suppose.
Who would play the various roles if they made a C&P remake of that classic is open to debate.
It would likely be a stinker of a film but i'm sure the tear jerking finale would be a blast.

Oh boy...there is a keeper...calling PvE players "carebears," "victims," "whiners," "prey," etc....isn't trolling....declaring that james 315 was somehow "elected" "savior of highsec" isn't trolling....but pointing out that code is failing in it's stated mission is trolling. Gotta give you credit for Alice in Wonderland style consistency.

John is only leader because James and Loyalanon, among others, quit the post. That doesn't exactly sound like a winning record. Further, highsec has more PvE than ever, your 2000 kills are but a drop in the bucket. And comparing kills with a PvE player..... |

James didn't quit, I don't know why you keep saying this. When the blog stops, then you can say James quit. Until then he's very much attached to what's going on with New Order and CODE. affairs.

Writing some blog posts and logging in once a month to send some isk is not "playing the game." He has given up...and it is time for you to do the same. The whole agenda to radically change highsec was flawed from the getgo...a few bored nullsec folks with some catalysts have no ability to materially change the gameplay experience of thousands of highsec PvE players. To think otherwise was always foolish.
Sad to see you waste your time on this hopeless endeavor...stick to wormholes. |

Neither James 315, nor Loyalanon have ever held the position of CODE.'s executor. John's predecessor was Aria Stane, who founded the alliance. Try again.

My prediction is once CCP fixes, yes fixes, SOV is the null bears will be too busy duking it out to even worry about trolling in high sec. Afterwards ganking will decrease back down to normal levels. It won't cease to exsist but won't be nearly as prevalent as it is now. There hasn't been a significant war in SOV null sec for some time. Why bother when the current mechanics are so broken and grindtastic.

Well back around 2010ish preCODE outside of Hulkegeddon getting ganked was uncommon. You hardly ever saw a -10 too in high sec, and ganking freighters was almost unheard off. Pretty much the current ganking trend for the last two years is do too bored Null sec pilots.

I remember years ago when carebears were saying how the New Order wasn't doing anything and how is was going to fail. I believe around this time we were camping the static ice belts, but small in numbers. The carebears were so quick to say how our efforts were meaningless for [insert carebear reason here] and because of that the New Order wasn't going to accomplish anything; or, in your case, won't change Highsec.
Since then we have organized fleets that have caused hundreds of trillions worth of damage to Orcas, Freighters, mission runners, Barges/Exhumers, the standard T1/T2 hauler and various other types of ships (Frigates, pods, etc.).
Not to mention that CODE. and the New Order have become so well-known that we are often times brought up in articles and other blog posts for reference, or complaints.
You're some years too late. What you're saying has already been said and yet here we are. In fact, the only real difference is that we've grown since then.

Well that's all very nice, but where are the facts to back that up? For example, are you aware that there's actually somewhere around 0.5% chance of losing your ship for any reason, not just ganking in three of the biggest gank systems in the game (source: dotlan on numerous occasions - you'll find the exact numbers in my post history).

Also,
And please correct me if I am wrong but in fan fest 2 years ago CCP said ganking slowed down compared to previous years. The only difference now it is more advertised and people are now hitting bigger targets.

You didn't do anything. You blew up some pathetic miners. You griefed some noobs in ventures. You used cheap bumping tactics to kill a few freighters. Yippee ka yay yea. You have completely failed to even mildly perturb us elite mission and incursion runners. You managed to troll yourself in a staggering defeat in the AT, and now your leaders have all quit the game.
Ganking some pathetic afk ships is one thing, fundamentally changing the risk/reward balance in highsec is quite another.

Sounds like he was succesful, though. His alt, Currin Trading, has 60 billion isk worth of damages, which is quite impressive, and still 10 times more than youve killed. His bumping started a movement that has bumped countless thousands and inflicted trillions of isk worth of damage.
Hes done more than you. Far more. So if he failed, what does that make you? |

Yeah, code has lost trillions of isk, while only managing to inflict a mere couple billion isk of damage. Clearly they lost. Theres no sticky GM thread regarding bumping or hyperdunking. People never complain about Code. People never constantly post threads about how they lost(i.e. you). People never constantly complain about how ganking is too easy, too frequent, should be nerfed, etc. Miners arent telling other miners to tank their ships, or fly skiffs. Industrials arent telling other industrials how to tank their freighters and industrial ships. We dont have a channel dedicated to Anti-ganking and anti-code activities.
Code lost, becuase none of this is true. None of this, happened.

I believe this thread deserves a bump. As an addition to the very good points made by Seraph, I highly recommend all highsec miners to check out the counter-ganking gameplay that comes from this ECM Skiff idea. It is one of the many simple examples of what can be achieved if more miners change their attitude. of course, to do this they will have to stay at keyboard and concentrate on their fun/hour, not ISK/hour. 
and stop whining. Play the game. If you don't like gankers, step up, HTFU and fight or avoid them. you (and they) will have fun while making highsec a better place overall.. there is a reason why most gankers are happy to see people who fight them: Fun.

Always keep a few spare retrievers fully fitted because if you are ganked and don't have a replacement ship it interupts the isk making process. If the gankers are persistant switch to some procurers for a bit.
PS. Remember to insure your retrievers and consider a gank an inefficient way of converting minerals to isk. |
