Never happen, a miners strike in Eve just wouldn't work, why? because it requires organisation and effort. There's also little or no way that a picket line can be enforced short of using the very tactics the New Order are currently using.

You mean the self same mechanism that people have been using for years to avoid wardecs? Annoying yes, exploit no, if it's good enough for the goose, it's good enough for the gander. You don't get to decide what is and what isn't an exploit, not until you're employed by CCP and it's in your remit to say so.

What you fail to understand is that while mining may be the prime source of materials for ship building, anybody can do it, not just miners.

If all the highsec miners stopped mining tomorrow, you know what would happen? An artificial dearth of minerals would cause a temporary spike in prices, people with huge mineral stockpiles would start feeding them onto the market at increased prices, players that don't currently mine would start to mine because of the potential increased value of their efforts, and because they need the materials to continue the pewpew.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

And who, exactly, would you be to determine what style of play is "legitimate" or not? Some characters never even leave station. Thats the great thing about this game. You can do whatever you want, including being an AFK miner or a greifer of such.


I'm me thanks, and I'll make such a decision if I like and you or they are free to try and stop me implementing my vision, thats the beauty of eve.

I have my doubts that, despite your urging, the miners of High Sec will do anything other than moan.


Yeah, you have the right to your style of play, and so do AFK miners.

And I dont expect them to do anything other than whine, but its what they need to do if they dont wanna put up with your crap anymore.

I dont mine, and I live in lowsec, so I really dont care.

Im just bored at work, sweet cheeks.

Yea I laugh at New Orders permit thing as well. My corp used to be in NO so called territory's. Im a miner/ small gang fighter all you have to do is find the times there not very active and then mine. Use to do it all the time before we moved to null. Now there's better ore and the worse I worry about is guardian rats and BS's spawning. Gankers don't last long in null cause the pipe kills most of them before they even get close. Only groups survive most times. As I've said before I disagree with the game play of NO but recently even members of my alliance have been doing it. Do I approve no but its there right to do so.

Eventually your friends' good habits will wear off on you. Perhaps eventually you too will help protect high sec from illegal miners.

Here in America, we believe in using overwhelming force against the wrongdoers. Criminal miners deserve to be dealt with swiftly and firmly. The miners operating without permits and against the Code are the criminals here. I sure hope you don't talk like this in your own corp. Equal footing ended around the time of the redcoats- it didn't work out so well.

Remember to read www.minerbumping.com for more information. If you spend too much time talking to miners instead, your mind might be poisoned further.

Wrong. The new order are the criminals. If they were not, they would not get super-owned by concord. Thats the only overwelming force here. Not a bunch of kamikaze delta-bravo's.

Minerbumping.com is full of rhetoric and garbage. Since you want to compare time periods and regimes.. I can think of a similar one circa 1940's... in Germany. Display your "miner patches" or get podded. Sounds like it to me. Round all the miners up because they make the money that we dont. Hmm...

New Order = The Fourth Reich?

Highsec mining isn't really the cornerstone of anything, simply because of the fact that the ores for refining the minerals, necessary for building the ships that are necessary for battle are located in lowsec, nullsec, and worm space.

Meanwhile, veldspar is everywhere, and there is not a lot of ISK in it compared to hemorphite. Good luck finding that in highsec in any meaningful quantities. Big smile

Meanwhile, you claim that the great thing about this game is that you can do whatever you want, but yet out of the other side of your mouth, you have plenty of disapproving words for us and our actions.

Allow me to be frank with you. I suggest that you either get over yourself, or else admit that you're a total hypocrite in this matter.

Fact is, there are consequences to EVERY choice you make in EVE.

I face the consequence of losing security status, having bounties and kill rights placed against myself, plus the loss of a ship for every bot aspirant miner I catch mining without a permit. Same as the bot aspirant miner faces the consequence of getting ganked, and podded, for mining without a permit.

And yes, the highsec miners should learn to play the game, and to defend themselves. That is our entire point. However, the smart money dictates that the miners that have a brain will get a permit, knowing that there will be more rocks for them once the bot aspirant operations are disrupted. Also, 10 million ISK for a year is hardly extortionate, seeing that you can get that from an hour's worth of mining. I've made more than triple that amount just from looting ONE wreck! Roll

If this aspect of our activity really bothers you that much, then maybe you should consider playing World of Warcraft, instead. That way, you can play your game, your way, like the cuddly little carebear that you are, and you'll never have to whine about having to deal with any meaningful challenges in your life. Just imagine, to have all the good things in life just handed to you on a silver platter without having to put any work in it. Ahhh, yes. Wouldn't that be nice? Roll

Sorry. EVE doesn't work that way, and neither does real life. Unfortunately, the fact that you can't comprehend this inconvenient little truth is what's the real joke here.

Yes, try and gank us. Go ahead and stop mining. Try and raise that price of Veldspar! Pretend there is no lowsec / nullsec space out there.

I am well positioned to take advantage of the rise in price, even if you were to actually succeed in that! That will not only result in more profit for myself, but more shares invested in the New Order as well.

You guys don't even know. Big smile

For the New Order!

Also, hate to tell you, but new order ARE greifers. They harass miners, and anyone unlucky enough to be in local that has to read their spammy bullsh*t. Do I think CCP should stop them?

NO.

I think the miners should grow a set, band up together, and strike (dont mine at all, do some ganking of your own to line-breakers, and watch the price of veldspar soar on the market). Once the large indy corps cant afford to operate anymore, THEY will sort out the new order, and after CCP fixes the exploit that James315 uses to avoid wardecs, (yes, closing your corp to avoid a wardec and then reopening it is an exploit), he will get his pixels turned inside out.

Ah but then that there is the rub isn't it? Your code isn't even recognized by the powers that be. Otherwise you wouldn't lose security statis or get concorded if it was. Seeing as how I'm a director in the corp yes I do say this stuff and they agree with me. Specially in regards to your methods. We view the New Order as mobsters cause of there extortionist ways. We oppose anyone who says we should have to buy a permit to mine ore.

Your right, you CAN do whatever you want. I never claimed I wanted someone to stop you. I DID say that its just douchey to pick on miners who cant defend themseves. So yeah, your welcome to your game style, of course. But dont try to act like its nothing but bullying. New Order is a bunch of greifers / wardec dodgers.

Oh, I hope so much that this policy gets changed, that wardecs follow people dropping corp. Maybe you're right about James, but I guess he will find clever ways around it - and use the wardec mechanism himself to bring other corps in line.
