Explain in full , why a player can come into a belt (high sec) and take or from the miner , flash red , have miner's drones on him , he warps out to a STATION for safe haven ???? Totally would never happen in real world , be real . CCP preaches realness in-game , and the crimes against humanity spew . But yet this happens , and the poor miner takes a security hit too boot , not the criminal . WFT ???? That's fair and just. I thought there are laws in high sec space , guess i was wrong . Sad! Maybe i should say to hell with EVE and cancel 3 accounts , it's getting to be over-the-top now . Herd the sheeple to PvP , another sad story of an otherwise great game . Fly fast , kill 'em all ! ....Oh , and steal freely !

1) Paragraphs are your friend. 2) Do not compare a game to a Real Life. 3) Adapt, there are ways of dealing with your problem. 4) Do not rant on forums, it is considered a "bad form."
Good Luck to you and have fun.

I can't even understand the op. I'm not sure what the actual complaint is, and have no ability to decipher the mess. Also, once I get to the threat of canceling accounts I always lose interest anyway.
Good luck to you sir, whatever planet you are from.

Jet can mining is technically an exploit. Do it at your own risk. You put the ore there fore it to be stolen.

The thief can't warp to a station if you warp scramble him,
Miners don't take a security hit if you shoot a thief,
There are no asteroid belts, drones or space stations in the real world,
Yes i will steal your ore if you leave it in a jetcan.

Explain, in full, how large numbers of invincible, omnipotent policemen can turn up within a few seconds and always instantly know who to shoot, and never hit any bystanders.
How real do you want it?
"I thought there are laws in high sec space , guess i was wrong"
CCP make the rules; we make the laws.

while not an ore thief or ever will be I firmly believe that every time an ore thief takes someones ore they need to say "YOINK" in local.
i have nothing against miners they do make the world... universe go round. but its just they way things work, and to change it would.. well it would lower ore cost and make highsec belts dissapear i would think

If you have 3 accounts, why not have a second character in gang with your miner flying something nasty, so that if any fool takes your ore, you can blow him up?

better yet have a hauler alt and just snag the ore with 1 item remaining in the can... nm would never work to easy

ROFL - You just won this thread Ame!
On a more serious note to the OP:
Regarding realism did you ever ask yourself how on earth you were able to jet a "can" from your ships cargo into space that is able to hold stuff multiple times the volume of your entire ship?

Easily
You can easily fit a empty nylon bag in your pocket, but try to put it in when it is full. 
As a cheap nylon bag the jetcan wear fast enough, but it live long enough to do his job.

As I have another character that's a miner I've never had a problem with ore thieves nor have I disagreed with how they play the game.
I don't agree that jetcan mining is an exploit, as otherwise CCP would have something to say about it. It does suit miners as it's the most profitable way to mine with a single character, but on the other hand does allow for pesky ore thieves to come and take what they can.
Miners have ways to protect their ore from being stolen (GSCs), and a way to seek retribution if they still go ahead and mine into a jetcan. Simple.
Best idea is if you have more than one account use a hauler and simply mine into that.

I think the real problem is the container stays minuscule even when filled with 27000 m^3 of stuff
Bu you do bring up an interesting point
I hereby propose that jetcans should be replaced by jetbags. Mylar sacks that dynamically scale to the size of their contents! With fabric physics!

Mining into jetcans is the most efficient way to mine, unfortunately it isn't secure. Secure cans whilst not as efficient are secure so you have to weigh up the pros and cons of both. If you go with Jetcans then you can hardly complain about it being stolen.
What you miners really want is secure jetcan mining where you can be 100% safe in high sec, well high sec as designed by CCP was never meant to be 100% safe, and besides you have secure cans so why not use those? Oh mining with those is not as efficient? Well there you go - Risk vs Reward.
Before the flagging rules you had no way to protect your ore, and now you do and you still whine. You make me sick.
I'm sure you're all too willing to get CCP to nerf ore thieving and high sec piracy, but these are valid professions and are no less or no more important than mining!
Self, self, self, thats all you carebears think about. But you all carry on as you did before and never learn from your mistakes or try to adapt, and whine whine whine when things go wrong again.
Get over yourself.

Oh and no you don't get a security hit if you attack someone whilst they're flagged for stealing your ore. So not sure where you got that idea from.
Do us all a favour - Cancel those 3 accounts.
I don't want your stuff.

Wow this is so full of wrong and dripping with audacity that I had to point out that its author rode the short bus to the forums. 1.)There are lots of astroid belts in real life. Where do you think the concept arrived from???!!! 2.) Preditor drones, Vacume drones, Lawnmower drones.. Any of these things ring a bell? 3.)NO SPACE STATIONS?? Call NASA tell them the 2 billion dollar space station does not exsist.

Why is someone stealing your ore 'a moron'. I respect any profession in Eve and ore thieving is a profession. Hardly moronic when you spend 600k on a hauler and make more money than that in one run in ore thieving. Sounds like a good money making low skill point profession!

why not indeed?
well let's start by stating that the lack of awarenessin the OP's rant would indicate that he's a new player, and that's his only account right there.

I agree, this should be a rule, enforced by the comedy police. i tend to say this if i keep salvaging someone's wrecks when i'm in a "heh heh, i'm gonna be a ****" kind of mood. ========================================== Iy |

The trick is to be prepared. I actually enjoy jet can mining myself. It is interesting to look through pirates things.
