These **** ants are in such a small amount of space it's not even worth Making a forum thread about. Fly a Skiff, Tank it and Don't go AFK.. and they leave you alone. I can sit in an Ice belt while people mine all the Time and they don't appear.. takes one Frigate... Or any ship and these people Cry away about you ruining there emergent Gameplay. They Stick to Caldari Space, I have yet to see them move elsewhere and they Rarely leave the systems They camp in. They Only Can Kill the badly taught Miner.

Don't pay them 10m.
Evolve and Become a better Miner.
Don't Fly un-tanked retrievers.
Don't be Semi-Afk In Eve.


They Always Passive Scan or even Blatantly Scan the ships they are about to Gank to make sure if they can pull it off. It's Very
easy to Get Kill Mails off them. I have Kids, I have multiple Accounts as well. These Horribly Taught Pilots have yet to Gank any of my Miners.

Blocking there form of "Emergent" ( seriously.. this has been going on since before James 315 existed...) gameplay is no Different then CCP going Ok We are going to Make buying Ore directly offered by the Game. It will be a Severely Reduced Price and to supplement your loss of mining.. we will give you X amount of SP to put elsewhere. Don't Wardec these Idiots they just right away change Corps.. None of them are Brave enough to maintain being in there Actual Corp. They keep the Gank toons in CODE and there "Preachers" in single man corps because Unlike Real Goons They are Incapable of picking Real fights. This is why they don't Fight against TEST, They fight Miners. They can't Kill Real Players, They can't Survive Missions. They can't even kill a Barge that can tank or fight Back.

What systems can these miner bumpers be found in? I want to experiment. Apologies for my ignorance but I have never mined and am unlearned in the ways or ore collection.

This is an amazing thread. I can't figure out whether it's a genuine grievance thread or a cunning publicity stunt by James 315 and crew.

Whilst I consider high sec miner hassling to be a bit on the lowdown side I do have to doff my cap at him if he and his really are making as much isk as he's publicising off the inability of those in high sec to think around the problem he and New Order are posing.

What they're doing is certainly not against any of the rules imposed by CCP. If people want to pay extortionists and protection racketeers that's their choice and whilst some do EVE will include those types of characters and play styles.

I was going to post a massive explanation of how to get round these kinds of things in EVE but to be honest I'm not sure it's worth it. Those that can adapt do (and have already been given plenty of pointers by other posters in this thread) and those that can't either leave or pay up. Seems like darwinism at work, to me.

stop being so selfish join a null alliance, pull your weight and get the protection of pvpers.

freedom is not free. you want it? then fight for it.


I agree with freedom is not free, but if low end minerals came only from nullsec, low end mineral prices would skyrocket.
Unless industrial centers were moved to nullsec, in which case LOL GOOD LUCK because nobody in nullsec wants to make isk any way other than ratting in their carriers and skimming off moon profits.

That is because of how pants on head stupid nullsec industry is. at best 10% density ores COME ON.....

Also ccp needs to bridge the gap between miners and pvpers/ratters.

My idea would be a hybrid mining site. Small spawns of high value rats that dont actually do damage but rather substantially reduce the mining output while the rats are alive. the faster ore is mined the faster those high value rats spawn. pvp ships kill rats = mining output goes back up = rats spawn faster = happy pvpers and protected miners.

Provide ways for miners and pvpers to work together and profit on the same grid and you will see null industry booming (mineral production at least)

Not to mention you will silence all the miners whining about ogb changes because they would easily be able to find pvpers to protect them considering that both parties would profit.

hybrid mining + high density ore = incentive for people to mine in nullsec.

Its not that people WONT mine in null. its more that doing it is dangerous and not fruitful because...you guessed it highsec is cancer that kills everything else.

Hello Eve,

Something has come to my attention and is quite disturbing.
The New Order.

Know about them or not, they are THE issue of High Security space. Regardless that 10million ISK is an easy feat to obtain.
This is somewhat of a recent development, but while GOONS and TEST are slugging it out or doing whatever they are doing, The New Order is coming in under the radar and taking over High Security space.

Some see this 10million ISK for a year, an okay ideal. But this is simply extortion of in-game currency for privileges and for some we pay our money our real life money that we have worked for.
For a really good example of what is happening now, reference the history of the world, how many wars have been fought and bleed for, over someone trying to make a profit that is inhuman for one person to posses.
War is a natural state or mechanic of Eve, but this New Order Mechanic is not acceptable by an logic or reasoning.

Their are numerous reports of the New Order Tyranny, that have disrupted the natural state of gaming experience that is Eve.
Even if CCP as acknowledge this a "natural" mechanic this is simple bullshit.
Hence applied link https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=239345

The bare minimum solution is a legitimate undesirable consequence from bumping any of the Mining ship classes the Industry ship classes and Hauling ship classes which retain to, the Mining Barges both T1 and T2 class including the mining frigate, the Industry ship including all the faction haulers, Badger, Badger MkII, all 5 of the Iterons, the Sigle and Bestower, the 3 of the Minmitar ships, as well as the T2 versions and the faction version of named ships. This will include freighter of the capital ship classes.

Think about it honestly, for those of use that are Miners new and or old, this is how we play Eve and this is what we pay for with our real life currency, in-game currency and most important of all our time. The New Order is a disruption of the natural flow of Eve, Even if its seen a part of the game or game mechanic .


You are obviously a part of the New Order. You seek to give them more credit then they actually deserve.

I love this thread [eats popcorn]

I mean, if this really concerns you, why not go into competition with them? If only there was a space in the game where people could ally themselves with people who could protect them from evil people coming to kill them...

Pretty sure the problem is they are exploiting mechanics in game to make money with no personal risk to themselves. I love how on this forums people always say risk vs. reward, yet when there is an imbalance or exploit they defend the exploit. If you can basically harass a player into quitting/not playing, something is wrong. I can tell you right now, CCP is'nt going to let something like this continue if it losses them money.

The fact is, New Order cannot be wardec-ed, and continues to harass people with a game mechanic that hurts others financially, with no risk to themselves. Extortion itself is fine, but extortion without risk is not. Either bumping needs to be fixed, or there needs to be a wardec mechanic to fix this, like the ability to wardec a single person rather then a corporation. I'm more for the latter, I honestly think that the wardec mechanics are the issue here and not bumping.

You really think someone would do that? Just log into EvE and tell lies?

Unfortunately I don't see a tweak to the current mechanics that can fix this correctly. It all can go back to being in an NPC corp and being a **** from there, but at least there you have to pay taxes. How would you fix someone harassing individuals through an NPC corp?

You really think someone would do that? Just log into EvE and tell lies?

If we removed highsec, the problem would disappear.

Try not being afk. That helps a lot with not getting bumped. Someone else mentioned orbiting too, that also works great.

Or do something else. It isn't like mining is the only thing CONCORD allows you to in highsec. Exploration works great, you can do 3/10s and below in just about any cruiser, you can also mission, do trade runs, etc.

Or, heck, just accept that you aren't immune to what other people do. Actions have consequences. Some people want to make mining have consequences. You live where those people live. Ergo, as long as you continue living there, you will continue interacting with them.

Good idea. Lets narrow EvEs appeal down to almost nothing. Smart. we don't want people to actually play this game anyway, right?
