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

You have a double standard. What exactly does a solitary or afk ice miner bring to a MMORPG? If "contributing" is your Golden Standard, surely someone interacting with others contributes more than someone just sitting there next to a big icey rock?


Yeah, ..... because thats all miners and industrialists do ......... Roll

Why do they have to contribute in a way you deem suitable? They're doing fine now Smile

Yep. That is what 95% of miners do.

On occasion, you find the rare gem who actually does contribute to the game and who is capable of producing intelligent and engaging discussion. Most of those can be found in my list of permit holders, incidentally.

We're just showing them the Light; miners should rejoice at being saved from their boring interaction-less tediousness. Instead, they go "you meanies aren't contributing anything", and I'm just saying that's a stupid argument coming from a miner.

Do you have chat logs or screen shots of that rambling? I'd love to see it Smile

Screenshots or it didn't happen. You know the rules.

Generally known as an educated guess, or a guesstimate, or an informed estimate, or a "this is about right but please excuse my not having performed extensive surveys to prove my point in an internet spaceship forum debate".

Also, you seriously need to stop signing your posts. We already can see your name, and it makes it look like you've contributed more than you actually have.

On the flip side, rather then continue quote-insulting, if you can bump all the miners in a belt, say once an hour for a full weekend. I can see that getting annoying for them, quite annoying in fact.

If we're restricting ourselves to scientifically collected data, then miner-bumping doesn't exist, and you're complaining about nothing. What a waste of time that you could be using to grow roses.

Like Victor Frankenstein Before me, I lament my creation... T_T

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

It's also amusing, I'm easily amused btw, and has created some content for both the miners and the bumpers, the miners have even got their own campaign website now.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

I totally agree, it is indeed serious business. It's the fact that their current plight is mostly self inflicted and that my shares were purchased with the profits from my own rock culling operation that I find amusing.

It is very dangerous too, bumpers are putting their ships on the line daily. Miners have organised so many operations in this bloody two sided war.

Hahaha who am I kidding? We all see how miners operate in today's blogs post.
