Since Metenox have been introduced, which passivly mines moongoo which wouldnt be on the market, means that for miners it’ll be less lucrative - on top the new mining belts are still a time waste. not enough ore to mine and a 4 hour respawn timer. The only alliance, which seems to play this content right (they just dont build skyhooks and so on) are Goons - afaik ---

> [@Barota\_Gogiko](#): > > I’m not risking it. Then pointless to bring it up as the mere mention of GM communication and implying they said something can come off as rumor mongering or worse as deliberate manipulation and spreading lies by implying things that might not even been spoken. You could get into worse trouble if you misrepresent their words or outright spread misinformation and untrue implications that could be misinterpreted than quoting them. So that case the best is not to say anything at all. As by doing so you’ve already put yourself at risk of breaching the EULA. 👀 🤔 :psyccp: ---

You seem rather paranoid, in my latest post I didn’t imply to share anything, not sure how you got that false idea. Try paying better attention. What I was contemplating is why mention GM communication _at all_, because doing so you don’t just risk revealing GM communication, because of its vagueness you also risk being identified as rumor mongering and spreading misinformation. Both of which lead to threads closed, comments removed and some cases maybe even other actions by CCP.
