Miners and carebearers that live in safe space should have more protections from wars and suicide pirates. Without these protections, non PvP'ers will have low or no desire to continue to play this game. Most miners are focus on improving mining ships not fighting ships. For this reason alone, miners will always be defenseless. Joining a Corp and mining in a safe location are not that safe either, because Corp and ôsafe locationö can not stop a gang of suicide attackers. It is far more easier to be a pirate attacking miners than a miner defending against pirates. So why should you care? If you follow forums, you will notice that there is a lot of posts about people not leaving NPC Corp, High Sec, and recruiting problems. It takes players at least 4 to 6 mths before they can understand the scope of this game. If the carebear people are dying rapidly in the 1st month of game play, what make you think carebearers will ever leave NPC Corp, and high sec. Some people spent all their time rebuilding--like me, never ever get a chance to build anything new. Because we are always broke from losing ships. If we die all the time, our desire to go to low sec and/or 0.0 space is just not there. So the result of killing us miners/carebearers--created the only natural solution: Miners/carebearers will not go to low sec, in turn youÆll have no one else to play with.

CCP updated the game to make new characters with more skills, resulting in enabling more pirates to kill miners. If you donÆt believe me, then do this: Create a group of 2nd characters, give them ships and a few skills. 5 days later, you will be able to take down any mining ships. Once your rating is too low to operate in high sec, then you delete the characters and create more pirates. Or you can just create a new account using the free 14-day trail account--using this method you can kill miners even faster.

Solution to this madness. I got 2 solutions.

#1 Make Concord react faster to suicide attackers- if you shoot, you will die.
#2 Raise war'dec fee, 2 millions per week is too low - How about 10 mils per day?

I love this game and I will not go back to WoW. If you want us to play in low sec & 0.0 space, then you must give us time to grow, otherwise, have fun in your empty space and recruiting channel.
