If miners were lazy bums, then the cost to play Eve Online would be much more expensive as players would have to purchase minerals from the markets to build things. There aren’t enough Rogue Drones to fill the mineral orders either. No, miners are the backbone of Eve Online, so why gankers would try and break that back bone, is beyond me. ---

> [@DrysonBennington](#): > > miners are the backbone of Eve Online, so why gankers would try and break that back bone, is beyond me. Every ecosystem displays an interdependent and delicate balance. Gankers are nowhere near sufficiently numerous or active seriously to threaten the existence of a whole play style in EVE. I have found that many Highsec miners are lazy (they prefer passive to active pursuits) and ignorant (they don’t know how to protect themselves) - or, of course, they’re dumb (they don’t care). But perhaps the most telling refutation of the general thread of such arguments is that provided in a simple question: Where do gankers get their ships and modules? They either make or buy them, or they rely upon the many Highsec industrialists who are happy to enter with them into lucrative contracts. None of this is threatened by the gankers’ efforts, and you will certainly fail if you attempt to prove otherwise, Dryson. ---

If a miner buys a mining permit for protection against other gankers, then the corporation or alliance issuing the mining permit should pay interest, to the miner, from funds recieved as a result of ganking. Otherwise, the permit holder from ganker corp A should invest in a Catalyst and create a new character to gank members from Corp A during ganks of freighters. Gankers should have to pay to keep from getting awoxed. ---

I don’t think it works like that. The most tried honored and true method is to send Aiko 100million isk But if your uncomfortable with that I’ll gladly send it her way, but I’m pretty forgetful so your better off just sending it to her. But if you insist tips for exceptional customer service are appreciated ---

I feel like the happy miners that already paid into the service might feel a certain way about that. What with Bryson or whatever -NOT- caring about the fragile eve eco system that honest loyal hardworking permit holding miners have built up. It’s easier to lock, pod and forget. ---
