EVE General Discussion

Forced because they wish to do x in a game, and subset A abuses subset B for doing x. If subset B went to do y or z, they would not be enjoying the "sandbox" as you so call it. That is why it's forced. It's either do what they like/love, or do something they reall don't like because some loud mouth individual does not approve of their game play choice.



Could say the same for nulbears during nul nerfs, low sec people for...everything, and gankers during the barge buff. They also demonized PvE and mining carebears.

That's what's called "interaction". Miners affect every other player in the game and you're telling me they shouldn't have to interact with anyone else? Go play ******* Farmville.

If you're that distressed that someone might "interact" with you, you really need to stop playing multiplayer games, especially PvP sandbox games that thrive on interaction with other players.

Why do you make false claims that miners do not interact with people? I interact with people every time I login, even when offline by selling minerals. You have lost the plot dude, and you lying and acting like you know what every miner does is quite sad.

You are worse then the miners who cry about getting ganked. Let me clue in , pvp in this game involves the market not just ships.

It involves all sorts of player versus player interaction, this is very true. Are you claiming miners should be exempt from a certain type of interaction? Some people prefer to blow up ships or interrupt your activities in order to affect you, what is wrong with them using those tools, in much the same way you use the market and a mining laser?

I like how you immediately think I'm a miner from my statement alone. It clearly shows that you do not have the correct information to argue your point validly. This is shown more through your "farmville" reference.

It is a sandbox, not a war zone. Let the miners mine. Also, If I was so "distressed" by interaction, why would I be on the forums talking to you?


His blogs point people out, egg them on, and goad people passive aggressively through seemingly innocuous posts.

Let's quickly run through the schedule of the average miner - not you, the average miner. I don't care what you do.

• The miner logs on. He checks his sell orders, and undercuts the current lowest seller by 0.01 ISK.
• The miner activates his mining barge, undocks and warps to the ice belt.
• He selects an ice 'roid, activates his lasers, and goes to do something else.
• When he's filled his hold, he returns to station, processes the ore and lists whatever product he's made at 0.01 ISK below the current price.
• Repeat from step 2.

At no point in this cycle does the miner contribute to the gameplay of another person.

This is a terrible post.


There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. What is wrong with people bumping or blowing them up if they want to affect them?

Perhaps you're misinterpreting them. The posts on www.MinerBumping.com aid people in understanding and correctly following the Code. Any examples that are used are solely for illustrative purposes.

If you're taking them the wrong way, I'm afraid that's your fault. At no point does James encourage anyone to post hurtful things on the forums.


Actually I think Nanatoa might have been gently poking fun at you.

There is nothing wrong with it, but they shouldn't be able to do it without the risk of being punished for it. Specifically 'mind their own business' i.e carrying on like there are no other players in the game or that other players should pose no threat to them and therefore require no attention or precautionary measures to counter their influence.

No need to fear!
