It will be enough when highsec players are invincible, obviously.

Sometimes I wonder if certain elements of the playerbase would be more happy playing X3: Terran Conflict.


You should encourage them to join the Goonswarm federation, it doesn't get much safer then hiding behind thousands of nullbears.

Pick twenty goon pilots.
Pick twenty high sec miners.

Compare kill boards.

Decide which group have to fight harder for their space.

It isn't a specific mechanic. It is a result of the flood of isk unleashed by a combination of bounties and rewards provided by CCP (i.e., The State). That is and will always be the part of the sandbox that isn't player controlled.

Its going to be up to CCP to decide if it is a problem and, if they decide it is, what to do about it.

Death does not deter.  I will mine until you surrender.

So you're saying that the problem is that Players want to violence other Players in EvE?

I'm sure that CCP will see that as a problem.

The fact that Isk is fauceting into the economy doesn't affect what we choose to do with it.

(Oh, and how is the NPC bounty system different now than it was before?)

Yes this is another High sec miner post but from a miners point of view. Us miners don’t get a lot of tears from other players unless it’s a failed gank and the gankers cry in local that its not fair that concord blew them up but it happens. One other way we get to feed on tears is the forum oh the awesome forum posts of characters like James 312 or something like that....... I wonder if all the players who post on these forums realize that when they cry about high sec miners they are actually feeding us tears while we laugh at them from our cozy little space guarded by concord.I am actually writing this as I mine since AFK mining is the way to go IMO.


Lets see I usually play another game or finish some financials from work or even play with my daughters while I mine but in the end I make bank no matter what happens to my ship :) I recently commented on a post about miners and ganking and I agree with some of the comments such as hoping that all the miners ragequit. That would be awesome as that just leaves more roids for us AFK miners because the damn belts were empty last night so I had to go mine ice. In all honesty hulkageddon has been great for sales keep blowing up those ships some of us are actually making a profit.

I see only 2 reasons for the hate towards miners.
1. jealousy This is simple, there is a group of players who make alot of isk with no risk and its perfectly legal so ganker says thats not fair I should be able to do that also...well guess what you can and most likely do but dont tell anyone that you do.

2. Boredom Low and null sec has become blob heaven or just too much risk for a solo miner.

I would discuss bots but I dont use them and those that do take the ultimate risk IMO because they risk getting banned (how many PVPers would still PVP if the ban hammer was hanging over them but they could make a ton of isk and a generally short time period hmmmm.).

In conclusion you can troll this post make fun of my grammar and typos or touch yourself I dont really care and thats what everyone needs to understand, Miners dont give a flying monkeys ass if you cry about them its like standing in the middle of the forest all by yourself and yelling I hate everyone. who gives a @#$%. Keep buying our stuff on the market though please we do appreciate your business.

Please continue to cry about miners on the forums its great reading when im stuck at work.


Well, what I see is basically you have a bunch of behavoir controlists who are pissed off you're not playing the sandbox "their way". Kind of like the same type of people did with smoking. "Oh? You're not listening to us? Well we'll just tax and ban smoking everywhere we can, blah, blah, blah."

That's all it really boils down to. You're not "doing it right" according to some fools who think they know better. I mean honestly, what the hell business is it of theirs if I choose to mine in highsec, lowsec or nosec?

It's none of our business. But then None of the people hunting Miners seriously want to ban Mining in HS. Miners seriously want to ban Suicide ganking (as evidenced by the-last-nerf-is-never-enough-itis).

What the hell business is it of yours if I choose to hunt miners in hisec, lowsec, or nosec?
