Threads usually die when it's nothing but a couple of goons being sarcastic and agreeing with each other, just saying.

Posting in the thread of a present day shakespeare.

Look how I used alliteration and metre.

Your self-aggrandizement makes me want to burn down an orphanage (in-game) while simultaneously putting all the non-Goon male heirs to death (in-game) to prevent the spread of such vapidity, ignorance, and arrogance as yours.

Always amusing to read stuff like this from people completely ignorant and oblivious to other styles of gameplay. If your definition of botting can be summed up to "people who grind isk without caring what happens around them and/or even being at the keyboard while doing so" then all I can say is that nice job lumping in PVP players, PVE players, industrial players, trade focused players, manufacturers as well as researchers in the nomiker "bots".

Those miners who do it afk have just as much right doing that as the so called hot shot nullsec dwellers who log on Eve, alt tab to play minecraft or whatever, and only alt tab back to Eve when it's time to enter a lagfest battle and press f1, wait 30 minutes until they know what actually happened.

The fact is, there are afk players in every single style of play in this game and none of the styles are any more valid than the others. The only major difference is that some pay more than others, and because of that those players doing such activities seem to have a sense of superiority over the people who opt to play their game in some other way. It's somewhat funny that after reading the entire thread, the miners seem to be the group that accepts both the miners profession as well as the gankers...

The only people one should despise in the game are those who simply refuse to accept that other play styles are just as valid. Not everyone has the same goals in the game as you do, deal with it.

As i'm currently sitting in my station doing some PI because of a war'dec, i thought I'd do some forum surfing. Clumsy miner that i am, I stumble upon this. I can say, after a great deal of eye rubbing, that I skimmed through a lot more replies than I did your Miner exegesis. Compelling, and very lively writing. I had a few good laughs. But I was more saddened by troll replies that missed the mark, even by a far margin than you. :) Either way. My friend, my miner's hat off to you, for such a tale. But now the real question. Will it ever go back on my head? Seeing that blood-thirsty pirates are ganking not only mining exhumers, but missioneers as well, my applaud fades. You see, not all of us have daddy's ISK to fall back on. I don't multi-box, because, frankly, I already have a job. I shoot **** in real life, and gut fish with my bare hands. I smoke my cigars and drink my good whiskey as I mine or stare at the hills. For that to me is peace in a time of REAL wars. But I wonder how I will afford my 20 mil skills when people spend more time watching a gate than others do asteroids. I doubt I'll ever PLEX, because that would change the game for me and i'm the kind of guy that doesn't mind paying the monthly fee because i'm not a moocher. I mine when i wanna have a cold one and shoot the **** with some friends. I got plenty of theft in real life. No short supply of villains i'd like to strangle too. Power, as many other things, accompany other attributes, but extremists, in any case, I despise above all others. For even pissant little trolls manage to find moderation. This single-mindedness, though buttery and sweet sounding, gives me a ******* spiritual cavity.

You'd... know?

Also, wow, that's a good deal!

Those noobs should probably leave your silly little corp if you can't protect or help them. Just saying.

replace + bonus for killing pubbies

seriously I don't know why people think the insurance removal is a big deal
