Miners really should not have laughed and told gankers to adapt over the barge changes. Look at the results, if only you had tanked your hulk you wouldn't have to worry about this horrible bumping now.


The Goon speaks the truth.

Now I gotta go change out bottles on the tear harvester that I have hooked up to this thread.

The next step is the miners will come up with a bot that even posts their whining to the forums automatically so they can make more sammiches and watch Jerry Springer or some other equally engaging TV show.

I agree, take the time and effort to setup several systems you can mine in. But under no circumstance ever pay these idiots for a mining permit. You should already have at minimum 4 mining ops anyways, 1 for each hub, just add 1 each for each hub and have 8.

I'm a nerd, you can check my stats!! Skilling Int/Mem at 45 sp per minute is how I mack!     I'm like a lapdog, all bark no bite.

This. There's been a lot of suggestions already noted. Stick to them and you'll be fine. If it comes to them harassing you, make sure you report it. Otherwise, business as usual.

I believe this bot is already active as it posts under the anonymous tag on www.minerbumping.com

Its either that or someone who seriously needs to take a break from EvE. On the other hand the people encouraging him to try legal action knowing full well he'd get laughed out of any court in the country are pretty bad as well.

You clearly have no idea how this game works. Also not everyone wants to be in small ships. Not everyone is you.

Also also James is not a "savior" of highsec. He is an undesirable, much like you.


James is playing the game the way it was meant to be played, unlike afk miners and botters. In fact, emergent gameplay pioneers are the epitome of desirable, as they help demonstrate the possibilities in EVE online. Things like hulkageddon and burn jita are what make EVE famous, not undesirables such as yourself, who do nothing but f1 space rocks 23/7


I'd agree if he only targeted bots. No one likes bots. I've seen him target actively non-bot, non-afk players. That's where I take my issues. Also his grandiose claims of being elected Protector of etc etc when he...really isn't protecting anything.

You and other undesirable belligerents are interrupting EULA sanctioned and legitimate game play for active miners.

CCP take a look at this post, this person here was satisfied by emergent gameplay not isk/hr and highsec cosseting.

If it wasn't for bumping miners, waiting around for my Goonwaffe application would have bored me to tears.

Bumper thumpers are quite amusing to me. Once they start bumping me I set my ship to orbit the 'roid and then go to the kitchen to have some lunch. If they're still bumping when I get back I then go run down to Starbucks for a cuppa joe. If they're still bumping when I get back I take a nap. Meanwhile I'm laughing my head off about some fool wasting their time bumping my ship while I'm not there.

Oh wait, I'm ruining their game by not giving them a bucket o' tears. I'm so sorry - NOT!

Will someone at CCP please allow miners defend (destroy) the bumpers ship without Concord intervention. As it is now all miners hands are tied and MUST submit to their extorsion tactics with no means of defense.


P.S. If this should be posted elsewhere please let me know...thanks


If the Bumpers are not in an NPC corp, leave your NPC corp (by joining or creating a player corp) and issue a war declaration.
wait 24hrs, and concord will NOT intervene when you shoot at the "evil bumpers"

In short the mechanisms are already in place for you deal with this issue.




ps
If the bumper is in an NPC corp
Shame him for doing his utmost to avoid the wardec machanic, call him out for being "the baseless, lower than a carebear coward" he is.

If you do it right. People who keep doing something they don't like are idiots. Walk away, do something fun with your spare time.

That goes for every one who whines about how they "have" to do something. Staring at rocks, gate camp, whatever. If you don't enjoy it, you're wasting your time. And you're never getting that back.

You'll encounter a lot of tough talk when you're bumping. Along the lines of "wait until you have 10x war decs against you LOL" sort of thing. You know how many were actually acted on? ZERO. My bumper is in a 3 man corp, not really that intimidating.
