It’s true that the action is better in Lowsec but it also has most of the rare ores.  
Why do you want to waste your time mining Veldspar and Scordite in highsec? o.O

You may ask such things yet you don’t see the reason and message that I strive towards even more freedom and relaxation in Highsec.

A fishing expedition can be really relaxing.

I see mining as a good thing like fishing.

Sure but why fish for sardines in the Mediterranean when you can fish for tuna in the Pacific ocean?  
You do realize that Hisec has sh!t for ore, right?

Gankers are like fishing inspectors that we don’t want them causing any trouble.

/

Not all fishing needs to be about the size of the catch.

Had you never just put a line in while knowing all to well you are using the wrong bait or something is wrong with your rig?

The fact that New Eden offers the best possible option to fish in highsec waters while not being approached by some uptight fishing 🎣 inspector?

More like some uptight douchebag.

Hisec isn’t waters, it’s more like mud. There’s nothing interesting in Hisec, and I do mean _nothing_.

You know what, im belligerent towards players in general…

And i rarely gank any more…

The idiots that wont tank their fits…  
The idiots that are in corps and alliances but i have never seen their groups in my area before…  
The idiots that expect me to fleet them when i dont know them…  
The idiots that get mad when my group out mines them…

I dont need to gank them…but can say F\*k them anyway cause they get mad whether I talk to them or not…

This will have no effect, at least for those that gank to control their living area…alpha strike ganking has been a thing in knowledge for over a decade.

Well my vision for typing that is that by increasing the number of pilots required or the ship hull required helps keep the price of plex higher.

I’m increasingly heading that way…because just about every suspect I can shoot is either an alt of a ganker, or a friend of a friend of a friend of a ganker. If I avoid shooting these people, then there’s really no-one left to shoot. Plus I simply don’t have time to work out who is an alt or friend of someone else…in the split second I decide whether to shoot.

1. Gankers are not fellow miners.
2. Zaera has been very polite and patient with Chad.  
You would think Chad would reward her for her good behaviour with a nice Christmas Present, but nope - nadda.
