Aiko,  
so did your new puppy come whining back home with his tail between his legs when I asked to see his hunting license?

Coming from _you_ that’s ironic. 🙂

I’m sure even _you_ aren’t too stupid to understand what I’m talking about. 🙂

It’s really like you just blend out the parts which you can’t handle or twist around to make them look like they’re going in your favour. That’s not uncommon per se, but you manage to do this in a way that’s different from others.

This one is particularly amusing, because you know for a fact that you’re a weakling with no fighting skills whatsoever. It’s what makes you post from your high horse in the first place, because you know you’re not going to have to suffer from the consequences of your ■■■■■■■■ where it _matters_ … in the game. You can’t handle it, thus you just pick whatever other opportunity arises and insist on talking about _that_ just to move attention away of the other parts.

I’m not sure if it’s selective awareness or done deliberately …  
… but as long as you just keep posting I’ll figure it out eventually. 😊

\*_sigh\*_ 65 more posts to go …

but it does not…

It is called multiboxing…

I do the same thing, gank others while mining or running missions at the same time. 🙂

Indeed, you’d need a monopoly to do that, and a monopoly requires participants that agree.

see, miners will survive. ganking the miners is just somewhat a competition or minimizing the competition for ores. Those who took it personally and being so salty, Eve online is not for them. in addition Big mining corp. has a fleet or they colonized one system. Ganking them is hard.

TIL webs are ganker’s toys but neutron blasters and sebos aren’t.  
Wonder how many gank ships you’ve flown.

I really hope you all refuse to build that stuff. I currently only produce gank equipment for myself, as it is cheaper and easier logistics. But I researched some excess BPO for all equipment over the years and I’m ready to scale up dramatically if the opportunity should arise.

However, I highly doubt that people will stop producing this components just because some disgruntled miner on the forums, who does not understand the market, tells them to.

Suicide Ganking is good for the market as it gives balance for supply and demand. For example : one of my NPC corpmates before. Your alliance bought his 100 catalyst which encourages Him to manufacture more. Player should step out from their little box to see the bigger picture. Jus one question: Are your permits legit? Because no one will trust your business if it’s not.

Obviously the permits are legit. Highsec is now ruled under the Code for the better part of a decade and there was never a documented case of a Code compliant permit holder being ganked.

Unnecessary. If you buy a mining permit, you have already shown to be good at math and that you outperform non-compliant miners by at least 50 IQ points.

How about advertising your bs permits in-game instead of on the forum.
