What about concord, Is it even possible to get concord out of the belt anymore? So the "global criminal cooldown" is finally working properly and stopping you from avoiding its repercussions and you're upset? HAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA It's not working. CCP just declared it as an exploit because they can't be bothered to make it work. Same difference.
We are entertained by the Ganker's Tears. Buncha whiners - worse by far than the Carebears. |

As a recently-recovering carebear, I find myself somewhat perplexed - OK, Ganking is mostly silly and largely pointless, but so what? I've had my mining alt ganked a couple times - It's not a particularly traumatic event. Mostly, it's a blip on the profit spreadsheet.*
Of course, I don't fly what I can't afford to lose, so maybe that's the problem with folks - They forget that mining is suposed to be a profit-generating enterprise, and fly ships much too expensive for the state of their wallet. If I were sitting on a larger wallet, I might fly larger hulls, but I make plenty enough profit now, with my easily-replacable hulls. The mining is only to top off my wallet or supply materials, anyway - it's there to feed my main.
Anyway, the frequency of ganking is hugely exagerated - by both sides. Gankers gank away as fast as they can, but even at their most active, only manage to infest a small number of systems, and impact a tiny fraction of the miners. Miners grind away, and largely are left alone, no matter how tempting a target their hulls are. It's really a side-show. Entertaining, sure, but it's not even remotely a center-ring event.
