You know how some people farm rats?
Pirates farm you.
And judging from an incident yesterday i was involved in most of then pirates are as bad at farming as some miners are at mining i mean they didn't even try asking for a ransom ... stupid idiots were just throwing isk away by just podding me and not even offering to let my pay to live which i would have gladly done.
So yeah it appears that gate camping those gates from hi to low sec dosn't require skill ...nor brains just the ability to click a few mouse buttons.

Then form a gang and go fight them, if they have no skill, I am sure it will be very easy for you.
And next time, use a scout....its not hard 
Wow you really missed the point of the entire post didn't you, well thanks for proving my point anyways.
Again if your gonna mine something for isk and not take every opportunity to make isk, what does that say about you? .... probably as much as it says about me that i forgot to send a scout ahead ... were both idiots, only i still have my isk and you don't which is the whole point of a pirate camping ... hence me = fail, pirate = epic fail

Kind of hot head aren't you.
I am not a pirate, this is an industry alt. I have plenty of isk, and somehow I don't die to pirate camps.
Odd that.
Thanks for the insults...that says quite a lot about you.
I'm sorry if i ruffled your sensative nature, however if you wish to take a general statement and apply it solely to yourself i can't see what i can do to acommodate you.
And now for my own amusement i'll try and restate my point in a different way .. if your in the buisness of making money (no matter how) and you are given a risk free opportunity to increase the money you make .. and then fail to take that opportunity then you are a poor buisnessman.
Of all the pirates i have encountered most of them are poor buisnessmen of all the miners i have talked to they tend to be good buisnessmen.
Perhaps what i should have asked was why do so many bad buisnessmen become pirates?

EvE is, you see, a game. Which means the general objective IS to have fun.
However, it also imposes on you the need to make ISK which is neccesary to have fun.
Again i'm making a generlisation here but as far as i'm led to believe by people i have talked to the fun lies in pvp and capital ships and large fleet action .... for which you need isk, lots of isk. Can you have fun without the isk, sure, now try and convince more than 10 poeple you havn't met before that that is the case ....

Good pirates are able to make a nice living off piracy (personally, I make about 200+M per month after losses) and have fun while they're doing it. Bad pirates have to use alts to make ISK.
Thanks you managing to say in one sentence what i can take upto half a page to say.

Now, while gatecamping isn't the most entertaining type of combat, it's not as boring as PvE activities are. There is both risk (as in, people busting it) and fun to be had while camping.
Never gate camped so i can't say if it's better or worse than PvE, but the risk involved in gate camping those gates between high and low sec i would imagine is about the same as mining .... i.e. very little. Because anyone coming through with a fleet to kill campers i would imagine (i have that phrase on cut and paste btw) would only ever see the parking lights on the campers ship as they dock. Everyone else is either a newbie, a scout or someone like me who has a serious attack of stupidity and wanders through the gate while half asleep.
My problem ISN'T with gate camping IT IS with bad gate campers who can't make the money, that they think they need, and then i would imagine come on the forums saying the game is broke and we need to do something to force people into low sec.
Sorry i don't see why i should be forced to change the way i player the game because your bad at doing what you have chose to do.
Adapt or die.
