Well CCP u really unbalanced everything this time....

The veterans got their combat, the war mongers got their combat, u have chased solo miners, and mining corps, back into 0.8 space and above.
cant go into a 0.5 belt without running into to 2 22.5K, and 3 17K rats, or at least 2 22.5 K rats, the highest before this patch i ever saw was 7K rat,

u tripled the bounty, and u might as well make 0.0 to at least 0.5 sectors non empire space.
because u guys have made it difficult for some of us to mine in 0.5, costs me 200K isk to 90K isk from kills, not to mention the 85K medium drones i have to replace, lost 8/9 drones to these rats, and couldnt kill the last 2 15K rats in a group....u already had 0.4 -0.0 for vets and combat originated players, but for us miners , i feel u have chased a lot of us back into the 0.8 sectors and above

Flame away like i'm newb, but the fact is u have 3 choices for learning, that is: fighting , mining, or building.

in this game, and i went in the direction of mining, and i feel i have been given the snub because of this combat originated patch, will take me 3-4 weeks to get my combat up to be safe on my own again, and that plain stinks

i have been 3 months in the game, and am now collecting minerals for my BS.... maybe that will help me, but still stinks, to high of a rat bounty jump over nite, highest shoud be at least 15K not 22.5 or 20K, and i left a corp to go solo for a while, but after trying today i'm forced to return to a corp and wait for them to group mine in these sectors of at least 0.5
