Years ago I'm sure it was pretty awesome to do stuff that felt like good, honest labor. Those days are gone. Nobody will mistake mining for "work." It's tedious farming created to allow idle chit-chat while keeping busy, and the worst of shoddy game design. Suicide Ganking is an incredibly tiresome, droll way to spend a gaming session. Years ago it seemed funny or shocking that someone would allow Concord to blow up their ship just to get a miner kill. Those days are gone. Nobody will mistake suicide-ganking as any kind of sacrifice. It's an uncreative way to feel powerful that exploits poor game mechanics, and has been done to death. The OP apparently doesn't know that the people that invented all the high-sec mining fits and strategies were innovative people that have probably moved on, and the people that invented all the suicide ganking methods were innovative people that have probably moved on. He's now spent 6 pages telling the world how exciting and novel his tiresome old news is, and only clued the rest of us in on how he hasn't been paying attention for 5 years. TL; DR - OP has spent 6 pages RPing about yesterday's news. He should probably ask his mom if it's ok for him to post stuff on the internets in the future. I know sometimes it's difficult to realize just how much you spend on incidental things each month or year, but seriously, EVE is very cheap entertainment compared to most things... If you are a smoker, smoke one less pack a week and pay for EVE, with money left over to pick up a cheap bundle of flowers for the EVE widow upstairs.
