He's talking about how I used to be a Miner. Exhumers 4, Bayyyybeeee.

Its kind of funny, my old CEO was the same as you. Started out mining, then moved to pirating and said it was much more fun. I am still kind of expecting that to happen to me someday, Just wake up and turn pirate, but it hasn't happened yet.

My route was> mine> realized mining was worthless>move onto missions and do combat> realize different skills branched into other professions and playstyles> train up those other professions> Also make friends during that> mining ops were fun> meet people in null by half the corp going down there> having everyone down there turn into complete dicks over ****> Me leaving the corp and alliance> me enjoying the crack of npc corp> me wanting to start a pos so I left it and started researching>to me trolling the forums a lot, as well as afk mining here and there when I am tired or so.

I also thought about stealing paltry sums of millions when I left the corp, but realized with them even being dicks, I wasn't in leadership, so I thought just blocking them all and leaving would be enough. If I was in leadership and same thing happened, propably would have taken everything I could have.

It got ate. For whatever reason, at the time it got ate, I didn't want to join the GSF. I don't really remember my exact reasons why (something about wololololo Goonz Bad).

The goonz are bad, not really, I thought about joining them when I first started. (for the worst reason, just to get easy access to the best roids in null, man would have that blown up in my face.) Mostly didn't join them , since it felt like they warped the game when you played with them, and I wanted to play the game and see what it was like before joining them or other alliances.

Heh. Ninja salvage/bait and gank haulers for profit>Use first couple billion to buy Fenrir>Trade>Use trade profits to gank miners for occasional fun>Industrial scale miner ganking, Killing the same miners over and over made it insanely profitable through extortion. (Hint: they usually pay after the 2nd or 3rd Exhumer kill - they ARE that gutless. Just make it seem absolutely hopeless for them.)

This wasn't when you'd have made more money ratting rather than mining out in nullsec, was it?

I just started EVE to mine, and the best roids are in null. And goons owned null space. (I also had a somethingawful account, but have forgotten the password. mostly mean that I know now the goons have to worry about spies so you have to be an active member to join GSF, didn't know that at the start as well.) So instant access to what I wanted. This all before I really played much, and knew about the eve economy. I also rolled gallente, so it shows I didn't really know much about this game, before I started.

Same. Tried it on my first char, it didn't last long.

Yes soft...lol
because it is harder now for people to kill undefended ships that cannot shoot back.

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

^ But don't you have to step on their lawn, to give their logo back? I am just a simple miner, and those logo placing and lawn treading mechanics are a bit over my head.

CCP was able to avoid the LAWN simply by sticking the logo on our TCU's.

As can be seen, the GNOME is everywhere now!
