As much as I love the minerbumping page, it's been outdone in recent weeks by some of the content on Feyd (can't think of his last name)'s blog.

The story of him probing down a mission runner's Talos and killing it with a battle Venture was pure gold. And his kill-it-forward project has led to me getting active in ganking miners again.

I support the New Order and CODE. alliance. www.minerbumping.com

It's not that it is hated, it is just that certain groups of players believe that the playstyle of another should not be allowed in what is considered a PVP only game...in their eyes. So they blog, they complain, they gank to prove that their playstyle is the only one that should exist and people who do not wish to partake in their way are considered "bot-aspirants".

The sandbox environment allows all playstyles to exist within the confines of the game...which CCP actively encourages.

Unfortunately the Code-aspirants believe that be demonising and portraying miners as being evil, it makes their "cause" more righteous.

Play the game as you see fit and enjoy what this game can offer.

As a frequent reader of www.minerbumping.com - at times I like to rank James 315's recent literary achievements.

Kind of a weekly 'power ranking' of my favorite writings - if you will.
Perhaps your opinions differ, but that is what forums are, after all - an efficient way to share opinions about EVE with the greater community!

I think we'll countdown in reverse order.

#5. "Who Are the Real Villains of EVE?" - Tuesday, April 1, 2014

A fearless look at the dark underbelly of the carebear community.

#4. "Second Chances" - Thursday, April 3, 2014

A sad tale of the struggles that come hand-in-hand with bot-aspirancy and a stubborn refusal to embrace The Code.

#3. "You Ripard What You Sow" - Friday, April 4, 2014

James 315 never fails to consider the silver lining of a sad situation. Even when hate and intolerance force one of our own from the community, there is always a bright side. James 315 inspires his agents with the power of positive thinking, as always!

#2. "MinerBumping Endorses Psychotic Monk and DJ FunkyBacon for CSM9" - Saturday, April 5, 2014

Here, James 315 dives into EVE Politics. Always looking ahead - he makes his opinions known about the new direction the CSM should take. More than anyone - he understands that voter participation must be encouraged! More than anyone - he understands how voter apathy leads to narrow-minded and intolerant individuals worming their way into positions of power.

And finally, the moment you all have been waiting for!

#1. "Kills of the Week" - Sunday, April 6, 2014

A recurring feature on www.minerbumping.com - and always a favorite. Here, James 315 highlights the week's noteworthy successes in the field. Agents are singled out for praise and high achievement - the fruit of their efforts rewarded through winning the admiration of their peers.

Well, that about wraps it up. I encourage everyone to read his words and learn from them.

Do you agree with these rankings? Right articles, wrong order?
This is the thread to share! Thanks for your feedback, in advance.

what a pile of rubbish. whats the point of this thread??

The point is obviously to inform those Eve players with a good taste in literature of one of the highest quality and most entertaining Eve blogs there is. You clearly are not their target audience.

And I for one was hoping eve forums were just entering a golden age with the bannation of Erotica, shame about her acolytes still making threads like this one. Hopefully this will just be a blip on the horizon of an otherwise serene ocean of forum posts.

I do believe the more pertinent question is, why is minerbumping.com one of the most visited blogs?
Why is it so easy to create rich content in hi-sec, but so hard to do so in other regions?

That is not exactly accurate, okay maybe a little, but there are many of us that mine in null sec on a regular basis. We just understand that by doing so our ships may and very possibly will be blown to bits of space dust. We want to share the full game experience with other players who have never ventured to the darker regions of space without the protection of Concord. Besides, it is just plain fun to watch a solo miner with 8 alts try to scramble to get out of system.

I can't speak for anyone else, but personally as a miner bumper, I don't hate high sec, I love it and want to make it a better place. I love it because I love to shoot the other people living in highsec more than I love to shoot the people in other space.

This is the real question, isn't it? I tried being a noob in highsec, and it got me hooked on EVE. Then I went looking for better experiences in lowsec and in nullsec, and found them both merely ok. Then I came back to highsec and got hooked on EVE all over again. So much content concentrated in such a small part of the game.

I'd hazzard a guess this is because they people you like to grief in highsec generally dont fight back as opposed to other space.

Some highsec players will actually get some ECM ships and try and get on some CONCORD killmails, but are only given a reason to do so because James 315, in his benevolence, saw fit to force emergent gameplay upon them.

Without James 315, these "players" would be functionally equal to the bots they mine alongside, to the point you couldn't tell the difference.

Which i have no problem with and accept the risk that entails when i venture out and become a target for those who believe that my ship is an open target.

My point has always been, don't hide behind the evangelical nature of some supposed righteous cause and say you are providing content to miners. Be open and state you are providing content for yourselves by forcing your content creation on those who do not wish to be part of that content provided.

I play this game in the way i see fit to meet my fun requirement, gankers will play the game to meet their fun requirement. That is why i enjoy this game because the possibilities are almost limitless...but those possibilities are mine to decide and pursue, rather than be forced upon me by others.

Have fun playing the game.

lol



+1 for role playing, im guessing your jamie 351 s alt. shouting about how great you are. from what i have seen you are a tiny tiny little voice shouting some zealot script about something no one cares about and not much more. +1 for ccp for giving you a framework to spout your claims but i just dont see any of what you say. are you sure your not doing it wrong, i mean buming miners to extort isk from them cant be that successful and ive never heard of this code, it all reeks of desperation and please please notice me,

could i suggest that you and your many alts move to losec where you wont get popt everyday by concord. your not making any difference where you are just now.

Sorry I forgot that it might look like that to those of you outside the the Isle of the Damned.
