Oh, the usual “Glenduil doesn’t understand context” thingy… it’s boring…

> Like every month: Too much Ice from afk/bots in HighSec. Too few Ore/Ice mining in Lowsec. Solutions are easy: no static icebelts any more, afk-massmultiboxers and bots shouldn’t rely on the fact that they can log in, undock 20 hulks and just erase a belt convenient in half an hour, putting all the money/resources into one guy’s pockets. split the ice amount from the static belts into randomly spawning ice anomalies (directly warpable) of smaller size and scannable ice sigs of larger size …

My opinion about HS ice mining has been discussed like a hundred times before. It should be more challenging and rewarding more cooperation instead of just undocking an army of altchars and farming the same belts over and over, nothing more, nothing less. So, I’d “obliterate” the _current system_ and replace it with a _better one_.
