I love how no matter how long I take away from the forums, the same myths and hyperbole continue to be spread.
Is EvE still dying because ganking?

In what way?

You can have as many alt accounts as you want, but broadcasting commands between them is illegal. Watching a multiboxer move a large fleet is fascinating because you can see the ships move one at a time or all at once. One at a time is legal. All at the same time is not.
Im not sure in what way you could mean as unless they had seperate trajectories its quite easy to move multiple ships with the regular in game tools.

Yeah. If ever a sale will happen. Eve-Online may still thrive but the question is will the mechanics that current players cherishes stays or a not.
Fleet warp?

Um…you’ve obviously never heard of fleet warp. I’ve fleet warped my own multibox characters. It only requires ONE command by the fleet commander…and the rest of the fleet automatically warps to the designated location.

At this point there is no buyer. Nor any real potential of one that I am aware of as of this post. What does seem to be happening s that PA is only floating the sale to see if anyone bites. Not unusual for any corporation with many moving parts. Any speculations to what may or may not happen is just that, speculation.
Came here to mention fleet warp to @Glenduil but two other awesome capsuleers beat me to it

NGL I didn’t read this.
There’s a tl;dr in there just for you:

To quote Sniper: “[…] at the end of the day, as long as there’s 2 people left on the planet, someone is going to want someone dead.”
The value of goods and services almost universally connects to a player wanting someone dead, or a player attempting to avoid being made dead. Explo and mining goods have value because they take time and danger to get, which gankers increase. Industry output has value because it increases your chances of killing, or decreases your chances of being killed.
New Eden’s economy is a war economy.

Because then these evil psychopaths gets ISK from ganking! Which is outrageous! Ganking shouldn’t be profitable. And shooting ppls for non-profit is griefing and anyone who does that needs to be banned!

And a dying one. Mining ships are expensive while mining profits are decreasing. The cost of losing a ship gets worse and worse. I took an Orca and a Hulk into an ice belt a few times and even with boosting on a budget (running the compressor one cycle at a time only when the Orca’s hull was full), I was barely able to come out ahead on heavy water once reprocessed. It’s far cheaper to just buy the heavy water since it’s needed in such large quantities. I took an Avalanche to the nearest trade hub and bought 4.7m units of it.
I’ve been told that a solo pilot can make billions in High Sec by running Abyss sites in a very cheap T1 Gila and according to my research, that’s true. But spend 400m ISK on an Exhumer or 3b on an Orca or even 4b (based on fit) on an Athanor and suddenly it’s not okay for you to make money in High Sec.
I don’t mind. I can and will adapt. I’m learning about Abyss sites and training missile skills. I’ll be Abyss ready soon. I’m simply pointing out that with the nerfs to mining, even Null Sec corps are losing miners so you can imagine how bad it is in High Sec. There are posts on Reddit talking about how Null Sec miners are quitting because of corps regulating who can and cannot mine the expensive ore. Not all corps of course. But according to the monthly economic report, mining is down. Mining in High Sec will always be a thing because some see it as a hobby. They don’t do it as a job.
My point is that if mining is going to be continuously nerfed, mining ship costs need to come down. Unless you’re rich enough to afford an Athanor and do some moon mining (and you’re not too lazy to seek out the good moons in a very remote location to avoid unwanted attention), you’re not going to make money.
This is why it sucks to lose a mining ship. If you have to spend that much money to not make money, you tend to get upset when you have to replace the ship. Mining ships used to be very cheap. They’re many times their original cost.

Now that is the funniest post yet..
There is a game out there whose name escapes me. Something with a town or a villa and I think it is a farm as well. You might want to check that out.
Eve is about blowing up ships, structures, and other narfarious pursuits, and some pretty benign ones as well. Earning ISK by getting anything that is not nailed down.. Even then there is always someone with a claw hammer trying to pull the nails out.
Ban Ganking!? Great Scott, Mon!
That would cut into my profits!! Are you crazy?!
Don’t you know I have mouths to feed! My crew needs to eat too, you know. They have families.. Take little Randy born with a spoon stuck in his mouth. Imagine want the surgery cost was like getting that spoon out of his mouth. How it ended up there is a good question. I suspect the mother was eating to much iron vitamins and not enough fiber, but what do I know..
Ban Ganking? Some of my best buyers are gankers and miners.
What you are calling evil psychopaths. I call reliable buyers. Their Isk spends like anyone else.
Calm down, ganker. You seem to have already passed your allotted amount of caffeine.
To me it seemed he was being sarcastic and implied how this thought process can lead to removal of ganking, not that he is in favor of such an outcome.

Oh I know. I still think he’s had too much caffeine… or perhaps sugar.
My ventures are moderately priced to around the 3-4 hundred thousand mark. Sometimes above the 5 hundred thousand. I am slowly trying to get better BP’s to start on the larger hulk, retrievers, and such,
But the economy is far from dying. Now that the scarcity is coming to an end. In fact I have been selling Scordite fairly well out where I am. Tritanium Is at 4.00 Isk or thereabouts. I do not even bother mining veldspar as I can get the Tritanium for more bang for my Isk. Than if I went out and mined the veldspar myself.
Dying? Hardly. Though June saw a dip, but as the Goonswarm and others have been in major wars this July. I will be expecting the July report to reflect that. With more ore to mine in the belts. That dip in June was going to always happen.
July should show a more stable market in ore and minerals. Without the scarcity weighing it down. The market is going to be a little more competitive and one is going to have really map out what to mine and how much. Breakout your spreadsheets boys and girls. Holding onto some ore or minerals for either personal use or when needed to throw into the market.
We all cried for the end of the scarcity and we got it. This is the result. Now we all deal with the reality of a changing marketplace. Finding the best ways to make Isk. But that is always the challenge of any industrial player.
I was replying to him not you (post shows it in the top right corner of my post when the one I reply to is not the prior post), but I agree he is a bit hysterical.
