EVE General Discussion

Utter bollocks, OP.

Mildly entertaining bollocks, but bollocks nonetheless..

There are 5 reasons why you are wrong, but only the Goddess knows them all, the rest of us are just ShitHeads.

Praise the Holy Chao!

Someone sure went off their meds.

Tongue in cheek and great read for it. Those who missed out on the satire, oh well. I enjoyed thoroughly.

I do agree with the OP about that element of the game, I think people are getting sick and tired of reading the whine threads of some entitled players who have dropped into EVE from other games and expect to be wrapped in cotton wool like they were prior to finding their way here.

All this presumes one thing:

The owner of the mining character has only one account and only does one activity with that one account.

Since we all know this to be utter nonsense then by proxy the entire article is also, utter nonsense. Hence, the article contradicts itself and thus completely dis-credits the author.

good game.

At first I was like...

Then I was all "He's trolling"

Now I think he actually believes this.


He sounds a little crazy. Especially the part about how high sec miners have a special greed that's far more insidious than any other greed that exists in the game. Read the section again! It sounds paranoid.

I think most PvPers dislike random suicide gankers more than the carebears do. Suiciders run in with their calculated losses and 0 risk, attack a stationary target with no EHP or tank, and then try to pass themselves off as real PvPers, talking about their killboards like they actually compare to folks out in 0.0, who have killboards full of actual fights.

I'd love to see them open up more return combat options against gankers. I'd bet money that if CONCORD was removed entirely and highsec eliminated, the suiciders would be the first to quit the game when the alliances rolled in.

PvC = Player Vs Carebear

Anybody know of the antithesis of this website?

I think the OP is an Anti Carebear. Good for him. We should find out which Anti Carebear he is.

And very long-winded apparently.

So much effort has gone into this troll. It did catch quite a few. 9/10

I seriously refuse to believe that all of the miners you encounter are what you seem to describe. I have gone out suicide ganking plenty of times, and I have encountered two types of miners:

1. Average noob who is in the mining transition phase before he moves on.
2. Bot farming isk for the average EVE player.

I have had fun with both, once killing an officer fitted retriever :P (http://draketrain.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=9991895) and sometimes killing the same Bot multiple times, but I honestly haven't met true veteran miners as you describe.

However, I have found that a very similar to you description of the ISK religion behavior occurs with mission runners. They are people, who have been playing this game for years with the single purpose of isk. I have seen faction fitted battleships and tengus, even 30bil+ battleships, floating around just doing missions. I have ganked these with great pleasure and profit multiple times and I find that they truly do follow that mentality.

I can recall a specific incident where me and a friend of mine, after popping a CNR with smartbombs in a mission using a covops, wardecced a 5-15man missioning corp, and we ended up stripping them of ALL their isk, and ALL their ships. These people did not know how to fight, or how to live. They threatened to fight us. We arranged a fight. We had 1 tempest and a Schimi hidden for backup. They brought 1 rook, because we killed everything else. He died, and the corp payed the ransom we put on them. They were shipless, and iskless.
