Nah, only AFK miners.



Legitimate Miners are cool by me, though i do pity them a bit. I wouldn't want to do what they do, but if they like it, who am i to keep them from doing it. Getting rid of AFK miners for good would improve the conditions so much for those miners that actually play the game, it would be incredibly healthy for the game as a whole.

Huh. Guess i don't like people that devalue other people's gameplay without actually playing themselves, if you are looking for a more exact definition. Or "leeches", if you like a tl;dr term.

Actually, I think the OP is a genius, he/she just proved that your hatred of "semi-afk" miners is ILL-FOUNDED because none of you would bother to be "legitimate" miners yourself.



I think you hit the nail on the head, and the reason of all the haters in this thread. While 5 mil is nearly nothing, I would say that the fact that no one wants to do it, just shows that they are all hypocritical anyways.They shouldn't expect other people to do what they themselves would never do.

Okay but the interesting bit is that not just the afk miners are getting caught up in this.
IF someone is mining in a system where they have to scroll they could get killed even if they were on the ball.
It is the main reason why mining in null is just flat out safer cause nobody is there.
Basically gankers use the system numbers to hide them.
Not an excuse just a basic difference between the two.
Now that I think about it, mission runners, market dwellers, industrials, ratters and everyone else in high-sec are really helping to kill miners.
Funny in a way, and sad.

Do it in The Forge, at a ice mining belt of your choice, by the end of next week, in Hulk or Mackinaw. Tank as you wish.

I will send you 300M for a 4 hours video with your head stuck watching those attractive lasers like a mesmer.

To best simulate the average miner you can only use 1 (one) ship.
You MUST spam D-Scan on cooldown of course.


300M for 4 hours is on par with current incursions. You are getting top pay for the so called lowest risk.


Deal?


Edit: of course I'll come watch that you won't bring your butt buddies to protect you.

I'd rather spend 5 hours semi-AFK mining in Low-sec than 5 minutes non-AFK mining in High-sec with Hulkageddon around... No wait. I'm already doing that with one of my other chars. High-sec has become like low-sec, only with a lot more people and a lot less security.

So? Any 0.0 hero accepting 300M for easy peasy 4 hours?

I put my wallet where my mouth is.


Where do you put your mouth at?

I don't ask about your nose, because it's all brown and smelly off apologetic propaganda of course.

Skipped a step. The war's already on.

I never said I hated miners, but 5million isk is not exactly an incentive to spend several weeks training up to be a miner and purchasing the ships and equipment in game, plus getting the Webcam + software etc to do the live streaming.Roll

It's 300M now, better than incursions pay.

I will earn extreme pleausure by seeing you suffer in pain and twist in utter torture at staring at a screen for 4 hours + spamming D-SCAN like 0.0 heroes preach.

Sad but true but the worst part of this whole thing is Trit and Pyrite come from high-sec cause NOBODY wants to mine that stuff.
It isn't worth the time or the effort.
Let alone have you ever try to actually get a decent amount of it in null.
Tell a null miner to mine trit and they will laugh in your face.

And you can see it too in the markets those 2 are slowly rising while the rest drop.

So? Doctor Benway Kado you were quite interested right? 300M not 5M, all you have to do is to accept the terms I posted before.

I used to mine years ago. I stopped because I found it was really boring. If I'm honest the only times it wasn't boring was when people came hunting my ass. Hell even the convos over Vent between the mining teams were boring. You have to ask yourself what miners really honestly get out of the game. I accept that without them the economy would go to hell but they have to accept the truism that they are the herbivores of Eve. The bottom of the food chain. Their only real protection is their numbers. If all they want is to be left alone to mine then I suggest they play Minecraft. As it is they are undertaking a hazardous occupation in a dangerous environment. Read the small print.

Guys this is a fair and on-the-level challenge it just has to be in this one region that happens to be the home of the central market hub of the game and I have to know what system it's in so I can watch you to make sure you don't cheat I promise I won't tell anyone else what system that is though

Wait why is nobody accepting this challenge what is going on

"Look any reason why you need to talk like that? I have now reported you. I dont need to listen to your bad tone. If you cant have a grown up conversation then leave the thread["
