There are many Ganker corps out there extorting money from Miners, for Mining in the Area, wherever that may be.

They want Miners to "Buy" a " Permit" from them, which is NO guarantee that you will not be attacked.

These People should be stopped from extorting ISK from people to Mine.

Mining is a part of the game and does not need to be placed under a bounty situation for those whom do not want to fight or pay for mining.

Mining is free apart from buying the ships to mine with.

Dunno how can you veterans still click on these threads. I just arrived, but already bored with it's countless iterations.

Ok, I admit, some fellows post 'em in a more amusing way.

Uhm, Alpha Clones.......seems very "Free" to me.

and besides, your "oppurtunity costs" when it comes to Omega's has no bearing on the Fact...Mining is Free to do if you want to do it. Your mining not station trading.

Actually, the OP is not a troll.

He just figured out yesterday that my wardec on his corporation is a rather large inconvenience.

I've offered to drop the war in exchange for the purchase of permits for the entire corporation and a promise to follow The Code but apparently he has "principles" so he'd rather do things the hard way. Its a crisis of corp leadership I tell you!

Feel free to adjust your remarks to the fact that he means what he says.

Ok so I can fit a Procurer to get about 64k ehp. with 5 scout drones giving 90 dps. How much what that cost to gank? Would you bother?

Could be worse, could be Veers.

A CODE member has not been ganked by CODE, well who would have thought that?

I noticed one chap who recently lost a freighter, he had brought his permit 30th January 2017 on the 31st he lost a Hulk and his pod to CODE followed up with a Charon and his pod with 8.8bn of stuff in it and then on 3rd he lost another Hulk and pod, and yet he is still showing his permit in his bio, I am sure on your logic he will think that permit is giving great value for money...

Such an odd word; one hardly hears it nowadays, especially from the under-85s.

My ex-girlfriend's mother used to use it, especially when describing someone she thought foolish, in an 'I'm-better-than-you' sort of way. She regarded herself as a dyed in the wool middle-class conservative, but her grip on conservatism was fragile, for she'd acquired it second-hand, so to speak, from a book written in 1930 by a radical socialist, whose aim was actually to describe the beast in such harsh terms that anyone reading his words would be instantly converted in the opposite direction. Anyone of reasonable intellect, that is.

I checked with Google, and the word seems to have enjoyed its heyday in the early and late 19th Century.

Thank you for your efforts in attempting a local revival; I wish you every success!

You just so need The Last WordGäó

Well you can't have it!!!

I started playing Eve a number of years ago, I stopped 2-3 years ago due to the Code, i'm now back and maybe for just a short time as nothing has changed.

Let me start by saying that I have not had a problem yet but its just time, I have read a lot in the past few days and it saddens me as to the extent that the Code now goes to push people to the brink of in some cases the end. I know how I felt after spending 6 months playing the game to have it taken from me in the space og 1 hour by some keyboard warrior doing the bidding of the Code.

I have read the Code rules and at the start I thought that I might join, should people face having a ship destroyed if they start mining and they go do other stuff, yes why not. Many of the things Code say are good BUT its the callus, belittling attacks that take part in local or however they do it after that is straight out harassment and that is unacceptable.
What the Code are saying is that they don't like you game play and for 10m isk they might let you away with it and that's not right in a game. Its ok to do that if you pay me is what they are saying.

I find it interesting that the leader of the code has a name sighting a piece of the bible.

None of this is by accident, a very intelligent person has researched and controlled the GM's and rules so that there actions are accepted, they even celebrate pushing a person that has issues just spending some time playing a game for release (IMO) into the point of saying i'll kill myself, they then say well we are nice people because we put in a report telling of there possible harm, They again, the keyboard warriors, don't say that they helped push the person to that point.

But to guide this rant to an endhere are some things that are wrong with the game IMO.

1. I have to monitor chat in case one of these people decide that i'm next, I know that as soon as I get picked my game is over.
I'm no good at PvP (i would like to be but i'm **** at it. I like mining and doing missions, making things and to sell them to people that do like PvP. This is what happened when I gave up before, I was NOT AFK and had just started to mine Ice, I was told the day I started that 10m Isk or else, no rule violations just give me the money.

2. Within 5 min. my game and the fun I have had to build my stuff up is gone, just posting this post will no doubt bring my end within days. We will see.

Last, I don't blame the players as much as I blame the GM's, it has to be said they and they alone give the Code the power to do the crap they do, its easy GM's just have a PvP setting, if I want to battle other players I can and if not I don't have to.
I can already hear you saying that's the game if you don't like it go play WoW, WoW does not allow this action that's why these people are playing this game because the GM's allow it.

I could go on for hours but as bad as my PvP skills are so is my spelling and grammar. I like this game, Im happy to pay to play this game but for the love of god or in this case James315 or whatever his name please hear the players that just like to get on with there own bad selves.

Just 1 person but I pay just as much as you do.

You definitely sound like you take them serious, tbh, you sound like you've leveled Extreme Butthurt to V.
Just sayin'
