Okay CCP, it's time. Acknowledge the legitimacy of The New Order, James 315, and bumping.

What on earth did he do to make your butts hurt so badly?

Actually his words historically aren't so mild. They are more "lengthy" and rub a large number of people the wrong way.

He is now acting on those, bumping miners and extorting money from them, all the whole maintaining an apparently infuriating RP as the "savior of hisec" (you can't really break it either, because it's not RP in the "I put on my wizard hat" sense; it's all real action).

In every other instance of harassment there is something you can do about it, kill rights for ganks, flags for stealing your loot, etc. I don't know exactly what would be a good mechanic that wouldn't be used by gankers to lure noobs to flag themselves, but I'm sure some form of system can be dreamt up.So tell me bumpers, exact mechanics aside, do you think there should be flagging for what you do? And if no, does that not make you the very worst form of self hating carebears?

I have already fully addressed that question.

James 315 =/= a flu shot, so your sycophantic slobbering (and his post) are both wrong.

He was suggesting James 315 is the flu, and a flu shot is paying the 10 mil ISK.

I've been following minerbumping for months now, and as a new player, I applaud this fascinating and interactive way of playing and making isk the New Order has shown so many. My question is when will Ccp buff bumping so that the payouts are on par with missioning, mining, and FW? Will we be receiving our own Lp store? How will our NPC agents be dispersed?

The New Order will be a subdivision of CONCORD, with CONCORD stations and the CONCORD LP store. Bumping miners will increase your security status, with an extra boost for bumping afk or botting miners. Missions will include bumping miners to a target location 30, 50, or 100 km away (depending on level). This is gonna be awesome!

Perhaps now is the time for collision damage as opposed to this weird bumping mechanic, now suicide ganking would be literally suicide ganking...

Since several devs have commented in the thread and said nothing related to the topic, we'll make this simple.

If you're a carebear and you don't like bumping, form up the largest group you can get together in plated, MWD battleships and report to Uedama and Niarja. Put up a can (or cans, the message is long) on each gate that says "there is now a 25million ISK toll for passing through this system. Failure to pay will result in perma bumping."

Bump everything that passes through that system until there is a complete meltdown of freight traffic in EVE. THEN see what CCP has to say. Bonus points if you do this on the Jita undock as well.

If it's legal, it's legal. Right? All you have to do is say the magic words that make it "profit-related" and then make CCP eat their words. The only way this situation is going to get handled is to break the system completely. It's that simple. They won't do anything until the absurdity and stupidity of it can no longer be denied.


Yeah cos they didn't promote goons ganking all that freight traffic in burn Jita or anything ......Roll

No, seriously, I am a newbie writing my first ever post on the eve-o forums. Totally legit.

I feel like Ccp should make a statement about where they stand. Either it's working as intended and miners need to adapt or Ccp wants to eventually correct it and they should let players know so both sides can argue about THAT instead of asking fo' a rules clarification.

This sounds like a great alternative way to make isk. Since there does not appear to be any regulation around the actual process, I believe I will be entering the free market of miner extortion as well.

What's that on the wind? Oh, it's the chuckles of the old vets recalling the days when they mined for a MONTH to afford a cruiser. And they loved those cruisers...

Highsec is owned by players now. Systems 0.5-1.0 are New Order Territory. All miners and other residents of Highsec must obey The Code. Mining without a permit is dangerous and harmful to the EVE community. See www.MinerBumping.com

Lets see here... Going by the amount of petitions filed against bumpers (many) compared to the amount of bumpers that have been banned (none), I would say CCP's stance is pretty clear on this.

But but that goes against what the miners said about the bumpers all being exploiting griefing bastards.

And weren't they saying James 315 got banned? Hahahahahaha
