I have to wonder if you've ever been out of hisec. Let me tell you how it works and why what you're claiming here is false:

Mining out in 0.0 has to be at least as stupid as mining in lowsec, right? If you're in lowsec and get blown up, at least it takes a chunk out of the offending party's sec status and gives you free right to kill them. In 0.0 they don't even get that. It is completely lawless out there. So why would anyone mine in 0.0, right?

Well, people do. A lot of people do. You can make a crap load more money mining in 0.0 than in hisec. What keeps people out of lowsec right now is not the danger, it's the fact that it's a complete waste of time. There's nothing in lowsec that outperforms mining for Veldspar in terms of ISK per m3....certainly not enough to risk anything.

What happens in 0.0 is that people mine in groups and within alliances full of people who love to blow **** up. Having a gang come into system to explode miners is actually cool because then they get to fly out and get a fight without having the effort of roaming.

We set up special channels that people report neutral and red activities in. See a red or neut in your system? Drag them into the chat and then the system you're in...say what they're flying...or NV if you are hiding and haven't seen them.

People who are mining (or ratting for that matter) watch these channels and carefully observe local for anyone that's not blue. As soon as such a person comes into the system, or hopefully sooner based on intel, all carebearing activities cease and you dock up, safe up, pos up, and/or cloak up. Then you wait for the alliance to respond or maybe you get into something more PvP oriented and help blow up these invaders yourself.

So, that's how you do it. You don't go out and solo-mine in lowsec, nullsec, and you really shouldn't be in hisec either. EvE is simply not a game for the solo player. I don't think CCP should really cater to them either. Get a good group together and you can do dangerous things with more safety. Be out there all alone and yeah, you're gonna die.

So there it is. That's why you're full of ****. Maybe CCP will lose a couple subs, but I think they are subs from people who simply don't like the game. This is fine, we shouldn't really be too worried about it. There are, in fact, plenty of people who DO like the game. Corp up!
