The future of mining?

[Not Espi]

sanguines, please .. okay? make a pirate character and go ask not 10 million, but half a million from people. results are same. alternatively, switch to crossfire. even though i understand you would like to quietly fill your pockets without anyone even as much as looking at you until you have a ship you want, you wont be able to shoot people in the ship you want, since cruisers and above are forbidden to shoot transports. i would recommend an excellent server for you. discovery of discovery - to satisfy your bsvbs desires. no work, no time wasted on grinding - just sheer pvp. go and enjoy yourself there.

to paint you a picture, there are 3 elements of roleplay - lawfuls, commerce characters, and unlawfuls (to avoid confusion here - mostly pirates)

its a natural balance. when one of these groups dies out some intervention is required. commerce is what it all spins around. it attracts characters to interacts with other people. that is why gallia and sigmas are partially dead, while dublin, taus and new york are constantly full. what will you do, when pirates die out of boredom? okay .. you keep on mining to what end? to sit next to a mining field with other miners in it and talking to other lawfuls like yourself without any unlawfuls to interact with? no thank you, i'd much rather have a realistic environment, where refined metals are not cheaper than raw ores and where all 3 types of characters are existant.
