It's worse then you can imagine. The Mitanni is joining in.

What's with you dumb pubbies not being able to spell Mittani? It's not that hard.

You want to hear something new about it?

Remember how all the highsec pubbies and bots were like "WAHHHHHHHH" and they called the Whaaambulance because they were getting ganked so often? Remember how CCP was like, "We'll remove insurance! That'll slow things down at least!"

Well, it's not going to. Because Goonswarm will pay you the insurance that you would have received, at the platinum level, if you gank a mining ship (and preferably get the pod). Because we are that filthy spacerich.


Your move, CCP.

Given that Helicity got unbanned and some other things factoring into it... would not surprise me if it happened tommarow.

When did it stop?
People have been ganking hulks and macks for awhile now. Do they just call it 5 when the new year starts?

Hulkaggeddon lost its comical value years ago. Now its just become redundant.

Is there any reason to care? It's just another char's name.

Meh. Not like mining is my primary income now ANYWAY.

I am, however, rather pissed that you're still interdicting T2 industrials. How the **** am I meant to play with my shiny new Prowler if I don't dare undock it?
You heartless bastards. 100mil ISK tied up, plus that covops cloak I got from an abandoned can at a gate.

But hey. At least when I can sneak the hulk out when nobody's looking, an hour's ice mining pays better than missioning, even when selling to buy orders.

Playing EvE during the event is a waste of time.

You say this like it would be the beginning of him engaging in suicide attacks


Besides, its not like the Mittani is somehow "better" than everyone else at suicide ganking, he just really really enjoys it and encourages his Alliance to do the same.

You can't really be "better" at suicide ganking (and therefore more scary) than anyone else - because it involves very little skill. All you need is a destroyer, Brutix, or one of the new Tier 3 battlecruisers, a ton of damage mods, and enough elementary math skill to ensure that the attack is both successful and that it kills a target more expensive than the ship lost in the attack. Its cheap, mindless fun, which is why its so popular amongst players bored with broken nullsec space.

What I am interested to see is the effect that the insurance changes have on an event like Hulkageddon. Without payouts for suicide attacks, Hulkageddon should be a lot more expensive for those that choose to participate. Perhaps removing that much isk from the game will help reduce recent inflation to a degree.
