- Hulk-using CareBears are the richest group in Eve. Too bad they are mostly solo players. If they chose to focus their economic might, they could easily overcome the Griefers military might. But the solo lifestyle prevents that focus. Maybe this ganking will provide incentive for a Mining Consortium Alliance, with Mercenaries benefiting from the contracts.

I don't think you can call that original when I already suggested it

But seriously, I'd like to see this happen. Why should empire miners be weak and powerless? They're rich, they have production resources, they're numerous. At the cost of 1-3 weeks training they could have combat alts (or wtf they could just buy a 5-10M SP combat character...) for counter-griefing ops, they could collectively afford mercenaries, they could use their collective production for political influence.

All this crying? God, it amazes me... this deliberate choice to be weak and victimised rather than powerful and feared.

WHY?

You're starting to fail pretty bad at posting about this subject.

You post as if this is a PvP'er vs carebear situation when in fact this is a eve universe situation.

Goons kill off the high security miners, some may be isk farmers some not, people have to switch up to mission running or slower methods of mining, prices rise, production slows, if this lasts any amount of time all the valuable products are bought up and then resold at 2x-3x the normal price and price gouging starts happening.

All the people who do not depend upon self sustaining alliances are forced to run missions to acquire ISK to outfit ships that once used to cost 350mil that now cost 1 billion or more.

The only people who will be rich are the ones who are already rich and those most definately are not the 'just in a hulk" semi noobs, but those established characters who are good at playing the market and forcasting how the market will fluctuate.

And I'm betting those people right now have bought up all the really cheap tech 2 items and within a week or so will be putting them up at 3x normal price.

Believe me, when you yourself are whining about the cost of tech 2 prices in the next couple weeks, you sure as hell will try to blame the miners but in reality it will be you PvP'ers who are to blame.

And as I said earlier, I'll probably still mine in my hulk or covetor OR retrievers, but I'll just be smart about it.
