And i supposed you have the ability to warp to someone in local??? How the hell are people supposed to kill grid exploiters? Explore every frigging inch of the darn solar system?
Really the hypocrisy about grid exploiting when its a gate, and not being grid exploiting when its a belt is ****ing me off....

Im neither a pirate or an alt and i sure as hell aint a carebear. And yes grid mining is an exploit. GM Xhaghen said it this morning in the help channel. PIRATING IS NOT AN EXPLOIT. The only real reason ganking happens is: *drumroll*.
Sentry Guns. If it wasnt for sentry guns, you would see a lot less 60km shoot everything in site blockades, and a lot more action in empire space. Sadly though, sentries are here to stay, grid mining is not. Xhagen said that grid problems will be gone in the next patch. So whenever the next patch rolls around, no more grid mining. And alot of these so called "hidden belts" are really just part of the same asteroid belt, so in reality, its still grid mining.
As Miz said: "An Exploit is an Exploit"
And if people knew how to configure ships to kill npc rats fast, maybe they could mine low sec. Tachyons, 1400s, and 425s ARENT the only large weapons in the game you know. A tempest with 800s, a Mega with Neutrons, and an Apoc with close range weapons kills cruiser rats at 25km in 15-30 seconds. Jeez people, do some thinking...Now if the rats jump in at 25k, i need to kill them in under 2 minutes....what do i need to equip to do that...pt blank weapons. Is that that difficult to understand? Understand the game, think about the problems, find a solution. Oh and use cruisers to mine not battleships.
BTW Miz I love your sig. Kudo's to you or whoever made it.

Hmm as i recall most of the major changes in this game are the result of whining from carebears....
Lets see:
Sentry Guns
Concord on steroids
No decaying sec rating
More sentry guns
Im sure there's more, but im still hungover from last night.

Without pirates there would be no economy, no economy would mean no reason to build ships/equipment/ammo, no reason to build above means no reason to mine, no reason to mine means no reason to do anything, therefore the game will die. PVP RUNS THE ECONOMY.

Personally i think if i was a n00b just starting i would rahter have asteroid belts in my home system than gate guns....
Dont want to get ganked??
Then dont go where ganking happens. Avoiding orvolle, ostingale, amamake, auroheren, and choke points increases your chances of not getting podded by 99%.

Actually there are always a certain number of belts that are unguarded for brief periods of time. Thats what let us all ninja mine early on.
