Only 100 million? Try a billion. Go big or go home.

Well you miners heard him. The OP wants more bounties placed on him.

I hate them with a passion. I've done my fair share of ganking and tear collecting, but even in null when I think of miners it makes me automatically hate them. Yes, I understand the need for it but when someone is only a miner and does nothing else it just makes me die inside. Not taking into consideration the bots/afk miners how do you miners live with yourselves? It's not all about isk.

The only thing I can do to remedy this is occasionally jump into hs to collect tears, but even then I am still left unsatisfied. What can I do to be a bigger burden to these sub class players?

Why do you hate miners?

Exec: Corp Recruiter

For more info, visit our recruitment post :

"Miners - Rorq support in 0.0 space, constant mining ops, and a retriever program. While we look for dedicated Rorq pilots, we still will have plenty to mine in 0.0. There is money to be made here. Our corp. requires allot of minerals for ongoing manufacturing and we are more than willing to pay miners to get these minerals for us. We are looking to offer excellent refining and an excellent pay system. On top of all this, if you show yourself to be a dedicated miner and learn the required skills, the corp. will give you a Hulk free of charge. We need our miners and we take care of them. "

I dislike whiny hypocrites...why don't you go recruit some more miners for your corp Mr. Recruiter...Can I have a free Hulk? Roll

Can't fight back?

There's absolutely nothing stopping them from fighting back, save for their own personal choice not to do so.

No ships because of a lack of miners = increased demand for the raw materials = people who gave up mining because it's basically a McJob start mining again because it's worthwhile doing so despite the boredom (fleet mining ops ftw), hopefully they'd also be the people that know to tank their ships.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

"We" don't.

How do you live with yourselves?

Everytime you read this you are required to send 100 million isk directly to me.

Miners, mine as much as you like.

Gankers, gank as much as you like.

Both are valid and accepted activities and ways to play EVE.

What seems to be the problem?

You really should go fleet up with that Rorqual. It will expose your mind to heretofore unkown levels of clarity.

Only 100 million? Try a billion. Go big or go home.


Oh oh..looks like someone is going to cry. Bounty tears are the new flavor of tears in EVE. Twisted

Well you miners heard him. The OP wants more bounties placed on him.


Lol i live in null. Its not like bounties matter. If you had been in wars and lost and killed plenty of ships you would understand that bounties don't do anything

Wait wait. Aren't you *Snip* Please refrain from personal attacks. ISD Ezwal. constantly blurfing about gankers and bumpers being sociopaths? The irony, it is delicious.

Btw. You aren't relevant at all. I concede that I'm not either, but hey, I never claimed to be.
