Fascinating. Can't believe that this thread reached 174 posts with half the replies displaying a complete inability to grasp the spirit of the OP...
I keep thinking it's the other, almost identical post that was deadly serious. You can't expect people to read page 1 before they reply, can you? 
But I agree with the op, everyone has the right to a bit of afk smoking.
Sadly, it was intended to help draw attention to the obviously sarcastic nature of the OP. Just to help out our pointed obtuse fellow posters, I'll identify some of the more obvious clues:

If necessary the Trinity patch can be postponed.
Everyone who thought the OP was serious please apply to join my corp. You will need to bring a faction-fitted noob frigate to a corp 'mining op' as a test of your commitment. Of course there is no chance I will gank you outside the station... I'm, er, completely serious!

I just now I carried 150 million in cargo in a frig past jita for a total of 14 jumps in high space. Only one active cargo scan and no attacks, I did this for fun to see if any one would attack.
I think the difference is I WARP TO ZERO and don't auto pilot.

Just laugh at the suicide gankers...
Move your stuff afk while your at work...while your sleeping...having sex...whatever.
Just afk move it in a freighter and laugh at them.
Nothing annoys a suicide ganker and his friends/hiding hauler alt than a freighter slowboating it to his gate from 15km.
Of course thats if you can afford one. |

I agree totally with the OP.
And, while we're on it, what happened to those hauler drones CCP promised, which would carry stuff from jetcans back to a station automatically?
I think this is important - miners need to smoke too, right?
There are lots of other kinds of drones; we're still waiting for the hauler drones, it's only fair that they're implemented. They would massively increase mineral production which is good for everyone.
I like the game, but there are some simple improvements we're still waiting for.

It would also reduce losses which decreases the need for minerals.
It would increase supply.
Both of these things would result in lower mineral prices, and if the general concentration of miner/producers doesnt change. Isk will earned/hour would probably steady around the same. But it would most possible account for a conciderable inflation.

Why does CCP keep these anti-smoking mechanics in the game? Smokers are hounded everywhere, can't even have a meal or see a movie witout anti-smokers harassing you. It's not like you're bothering someone else with the smoke over the internet. Maybe you should be able to select that you're a smoker in the registration menu and then be able to safely go afk.

To the original Poster,
When you go AFK and leave auto-pilot on your actually saying "I agree that at any moment on my gate approach I can be suicide ganked"
No, nothing needs to be changed m8.
Suicide Ganking is a part of EVE, if you don't like it, then don't haul.
Fact is, every time you click the big yellow arrow with "Undock" written below it, it's actually an "Enable PVP" Button.

LOOOL, sadly I didn't see that til now (but looks similar only at first glance, probably simply by accident because there is no relationship between irony and the topic we're discussing here).

If you want to go afk , there is a mechanism in game which allows that. IT IS CALLED DOCKING.
If the person who shot you wanted to go afk , he would have missed this golden opportunity.
If you cannot afford to lose what you are hauling, use a safer hauler (transport ship) and DO NOT GO AFK and expect to be 100 % safe.
You brought this upon yourself by making yourself a very easy target.
You Don't have to be AFK to get suicide ganked. You just have something worth killing. All you need is a group of throw away crusiers and a plan. If done right, it doesn't matter how many stabs you have, your dead. Period. Cost effective, absolutly.
There's real no penality, other than loosing a fecking cheap ship.
Is it the way I want to play the game, Hell no. I think all combat or ganking should be done in .4 or below.
I think high sec. gankers are a bunch of cowards that do something that really takes no real tallent to do.
Do your fighting where the real men play. 0.0

Please, read and support the Killright trading idea in the suggestion section of the forum.
I think it could provide some more challenge to the ganker and provide retaliation to the ganked WHILE fixing bounty system and creating police corporations.
It is a great idea really.

That's another great idea!
But we probably cannot really expect an implementation because everyone would select this option, even the non-smokers.
But with a small modification we could propose the following well-balanced
Option4:
The CONCORD-ESCORT-CONTRACT (popularly also known as the SMOKER-LICENSE). With a small pile of license documents in your cargohold which can be bought like the Empire Starbase Charters and like those are valid for one hour you are allowed to smoke and fly safely through high sec while a ultra-heavy escort of CONCORD or Empire faction ships convoys you in return for the payed fees. To avoid lag the escort flies cloaked and appears only and instantaneously when the escorted ship is attacked.

I'd also like to point out that CCP actually say in the official player guide (you really should be reading these things when you start playing):
"Don't play the game in AFK mode. This game is not designed with this kind of playing style in mind and you should NEVER consider your ship and character safe while being away from your computer."
As such, game changes to support AFK play will not happen. I'd suggest you try to quit smoking. It's better for your health and prevents you from needing to go AFK to light up :)
K, so when is CCP getting rid of all the cloaking devices except covert ops and give small, medium, large stealth modules that reduce sig radii by 80%? Personally, I'd love for a Tachyon Pulse Generator that can only be put in sov 3 areas to fob off the cloakers that hang around for hours in AFK mode.

So first of all it MUST be possible to afk smoke at the window without risk while flying through high sec. Nobody can really have the patience and expect or wish to sit in front of the screen, mouse clicking and jumping and waiting for alignment of ships with terrible agility over distances of 10 or 20 or whatever solar systems.
Do like everyone else, dock up while brb. I do it when I pee or grab a cup of coffee. I don't smoke tho, so less needed breaks than you do, might be worse. Lay off that nasty habit?

This guys must be joking ofc
If he isn't i am gonna be harsh like i should be, GO PLAY A PVE-ONLINE MMO, there is plenty of those around.
EVE is a sandbox PVP game where the no1 rule is risk-vs-reward, if u cant grasp that carrying around that ammount of isk is a big risk again go play another game, we dont want you here, most ppl here dont want the game watered-down from its true philosophy more than it has already been. Hell i am a noob and i dont want you here.
Just bugger off. |

Have you considered stopping the smoking habit?
You just don't afk that kind of money.

If you go afk with 400m worth of loot in your nontanked tech 1 hauler, you deserve to die. No but seriously there should be risks involved with everything in eve, even when hauling in highsec.

There is nothing wrong with suicide ganking, carrying around 400 million ISK in a 1 million ISK hauler is absolutely idiotic.
