The prices have risen a lot over the past month and that wasn't due to Goonageddon. It was heading that way long before this. I sit in my ice belt and watch not two but three ice bots mining for 23/7 without recourse. How is it they get away with it. Good on the Goons and that sexy voice Mittens. Maybe he can bring balance to the force.
Vote Mittani for CSM . He has cookies
Although I welcome any kind of carnage because it makes me as a trader profit - have you ever considered that most of the miners mine afk and are thus sitting ducks for gankers while bots are quite clever nowadays and know when to GTFO? I fear your campaign will kill of all the human miners and will let only the bots survive. Not that I would care... just a thought... -.- |

Of course they have. That's why the blindingly obvious suggestion is to not mine AFK and why people crying about getting killed only gets laughed at. It's also why hulkageddon is a good thing: it teaches people safety behaviour (whether they choose to actually adopt it or not is a different questionGǪ).
Yes Hulkageddon IS a good thing, and I really do not care if I sell my strip miners to humans or to bots... BUT: Most dedicated miners I have met are multiboxing, mostly afk or at least semi-afk. I don't think that it is easy to watch many different barges all the time. So mining while not afk and being aware of your surrounding would most likely mean that a miner cannot field 5-6 characters, but only 2 or 3, maybe even only one. So they would lose money. Money is the only thing that drives a miner, easy afk money. So if they couldn't get this money anymore- they would not change their playstyle, they would just use bots instead.

You're asking for sympathy for people who play EVE so badly that they can't outfly a bot script?
No, I am not asking for sympathy for them. I have none myself. I just wanted to remind people that their masterplan of "reducing bot population" might terribly backfire. But I guess those people have put me on ignore already, so don't mind me....just babbling incoherently..... ....

Ok, now you have been mixing up my points that were quoted by Tippia with his points, that were meant to refute mine.
As far as my points are concerned:
- I am an industrialist myself, I do invention, manufacturing and trading, and yes, I like the concept of economic warfare and completely dominating and cornering a specific market. Good stuff.
- Remove R/D Agents for all I care. I do inventions a lot, and there is no possible way to create all those datacores myself, so I am used to buying them of the markets already.
- I just recently met what I would call "hardcore miners". A whole bunch of them, people that I have never encountered before in Eve. People that multibox with 9 accounts, mining veldspar in highsec while being afk and playing Skyrim or WoW. This sounds like a cliche, but they exist. I have nothing personal against those guys, they are well mannered and polite people. But in my understanding they do not play the game (Eve, I am talking about Eve) . Playing Skyrim or WoW is NOT playing Eve online. They do not deserve to be protected from ganks. You want to achieve something in a game? Then play it. But expecting to be good in a game that you do not actively play is just all kinds of wrong.
