Eh.. you are not paying a sub but can still play.. So you play for free while it lasts and this is shady how?
 

Flying along today at 4km.  Passed a tower at least 4.2km tall.  Only seen it because of the pad at the top.  This is getting silly.  Pretty soon, Alioth will have a full-on beard.

lol. Now there's classic blame the victim.

You know you have nothing to say of substance when you resort to arbitrary judgement values like "carebear". 
 
If you care so much about PvP, how about playing a PvP game?! DU isn't a PvP game. It's a building game with PvP slapped on top as a crude afterthought, with core pillars of the PvP gameplay unknown or undecided by NQ...and with no known ETA on changes. 
 
Welcome to DU's Alpha. Be patient or just move on and play a game with actual PvP as a core feature. DU isn't that game.
 
Frankly I don't understand how they will ever create anything close to "civilization" if they attract that crowd of people that loves to throw around "carebear" like it's the ultimate pejorative. Bears are great. Just visit pride sometime.
 
Some people think combat is insanely boring (especially DU's version), others think coding in LUA all day is boring, others think mining and hauling is boring. If you can't get over the fact that different people like different things, why bother playing a multiplayer game at all...? 
 
Anyway....I'm over people whining because PvP doesn't yet work. Nothing really works yet. Everyone is in the same boat.
 
It isn't because "carebears" want to avoid danger -- it's because NQ hasn't come close to finishing their game. 
 
Get over it, be patient, or move on. 

And here is what NQ replied.
Are they really this far removed from actual game play, that they think this is a good change that will help single players?
Nerfing industry and mining was an inconvenience for large orgs, but for single players it is catastrophic. Single players are now unable to build the industry needed to be self sufficient and have the resources to explore other aspects of the game. And as a result are now stuck doing mining and nothing else just to get by with the bare essentials.
 
This did not help single players, it destroyed the game for single players..
