Crime & Punishment

What menace? These "noob" players are the future of this game. They breathe new life into a game that is a decade old and with new subscriptions leads to more incentive for CCP to keep the servers up and more development to make this game even more enjoyable for the broader player base.

I have much more respect for a newer player than the likes of you. They at least can show a willingness to ease into PVP later on or better yet, provide me with the modules I need to keep my ships fitted and working. Who knows? Maybe that new player will stray into low sec in a Drake or something else eager to explore the harsh realities of this universe.

But that will all be for nothing if all you do is prey upon the ignorant. They probably don't even know what a Battlecruiser IS let alone how to combat someone IN one. Instead of spending your energy preying upon those who not only cannot shoot back but don't KNOW how to why not teach them?

Oh that's right. You are ranked number 82,952 on battleclinic. You have 45 kills with ALL of them being mining barges or tech 1 transports. You are a coward. You don't even engage COMBAT ships. Why don't you stray down to Nandeza and pay me a visit. You don't even need to flip a can or worry about your precious CONCORD.

This thread serves no purpose. You serve no purpose. And I'm adding you to one of my combat alts and will be paying you a visit sometime very soon.

Hey OP,

I mine in Null... come bump me?

After weeks of reading this drivel I have come to the conclusion that the entire bumptard movement is just a front to keep miners wasting their bounty ISK on disposable bumptard alts instead of putting them on real pirates instead.

So it sounds like i might have gone a bit to far with this idea, perhaps posting after lots of wine wasnt the best idea

Might be better to persuade them with words rather than blowing them up first! I do like the idea of training them to gank tho.

Whats so sad is the big talk miner bumpers really have 0 skills at true pvp and real combat. If bumping was removed there entire way of life would be gone. Exploiting game mechanics to pick on newbs.... You guys are truly and epic bunch.

I lost a ship to them while in conversation with them. So not AFK and actively being social are not enough to save you from a gank.

So no, they are not saving anyone from anything except a heavy wallet.

Report them as isk scammers, move to another system and wait til CPP listens to the majority and drops the ban hammer.

While we're doing some persuading, how can we persuade you to mind your own business?

I may or may not... <.<

Firstly, they are not exploiting a game mechanic. Bumping is perfectly legal.

Secondly, the entire miner bumping is there to extort ISK from miners. Whatever is posted on their site is complete drivel and anybody that believes what is written is a moron. Most of the supporters are faceless NPC alts, to terrified of their own shadows and therefore will never reveal their main.

If mining is such a big problem to them then they need unzip their balls and go on the offensive, whether it be wars or suicides. Actions speak louder than words.

As for the OP. Don't be an idiot. Gank people all you want, but don't start organizing a concerted effort against new players alone. They have noway to counter or deal with suicides at their SP level. People don't seem to realize that if new players are targeted like this on mass the heavy hand of CCP might be brought to bear once again like they did by adding the Sisters EPIC ARC to the list of safe zones.

Focus your efforts on established industrial players make them work for what they are trying to do. A newbie is mining for himself to make isk to fund his gameplay. Cut that off and he will leave. Suiciding an established corp of older members will have a bigger impact on industry if that is what your truly looking for.

and now thirdly... it seems a lot of people believe that we pay way to little for our combat ships. So why not drive prices up by killing miners. Your mentality in this regard is astonishing... since it is the same people that wants miners dead that complain of about ship prices.

Picking on noobies is bad umkay, by all means recruit them and show them the fun that can be had in PvP, but also show them the PvE side and how it can be more fun working as a team rather than solo (a fault with a lot of hisec corps, everybody does their own thing, no fleet PvE).

Show them the paths, let them make their own choice, then gank them when they have an exhumer (and their friends) if they chose mining.



I think the term you're looking for is Privateer or Commerce Raider.
