For those who say no one cares about mineral prices, there are thousands of miners in high sec who were screwed by your rorquals. There are people mining in ventures, and not a few of them. I started playing about 14 months ago, mining in a venture, trained barge and then exhumers, got 2 more accounts, cause it's stupid to have just one exhumer and an orca, managed to finish the boosting skills few months ago. Just in time. When rorqual buffs were announce, it felt like a joke, 1 rorqual mining as much as 12 exhumers, I actually knew it would come to this. People in rorqs in the bottoms of null sec, no one bothering them, making billions every day. And the price of minerals down the drain. All the miners in hisec were affected by rorq buffs, I used to mine about a belt a day, it wasn't much isk, now, the last 2 months, i think i've mined about 5 belts alltogether. The little isk I used to make was cut in half. By your rorquals! Check the price history on veldspar, scordite, plagio or minerals. It's half of what it was 4 months ago. I can't even sell my omber, no one is buying it. You're talking about killing the game? I've read every post in here and all I see are a bunch of whiners who got their cookie taken away. What rorq buffs did was making rich people richer and poor people poorer. Cause a lot of people start eve with mining. I'm pretty sure most of you did the same. How about those thousands of people, don't they matter at all?
You want refunds on isk you spent to train and buy the ships? How about I get refunds on half a year training for exhumers, drones and orca boosts? Or even better, how about you all refund all those billions of isk you made in your iceblock rorquals?
Everywhere in null sec and even wh, where I go, rorquals everywhere. Sure, they're no worth being used. Why are there thousands of them out there? If my math is correct, only Jita sold 20k excavator drones the last 4 months. How many ships does that make?
I didn't test the ship, but I'm pretty sure the 2 hulks comparison is bullshit. It was mining as much as 12 exhumers when it came out, drones got nerfed 33%, and now 25% more, not even close to 2 hulks. Say it will mine as much as 2 hulks. That means you're mining as much as 2 and a half hulks now and you're fine with it? Give me a break. You made billions every day for 4 months, have other billions in stashed minerals and ruined the economy on top of that, and now you're complaining? Get the hell out of here, you punks! Take a venture and go mine for days, see how that's like.
