What's a miner, and incidentally, what's trolling. I've never seen any mention of either in New Eden?

I guess they are if you're a teenager. Us grown-ups don't really get all that excited about them.

So edgy. Love those logical fallacies wrapped in a personal attack, too.

Guess I must have missed it. I never though harassing defenseless miners was ever cool to begin with.

Good thing there aren't any defenseless mining ships in EVE Online, then.

Well, so long as you're at your keyboard anyway.

ITT: OP's true intention is to advertise minerbumping.com, presumably a scam site or griefer circle-jerk. 9 pages of generic-opinion posts later and no one's cottoned on.

Being a self hating miner is the new "in" thing. Nowadays I just take a big swig straight out of the bottle, fire up an alt in a Catalyst and blow my own Venture up.

I feel ya. I had a mining barge once, too.

After some time I abandoned it in front of the station and blew with a few friends.

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.

Instead of all this needless typing, you can just say "Please notice us, we're relevant! I promise!"


To be fair, the fact that people enjoy talking about them either for or against makes them more relevant to modern EvE than the vast majority of ten-a-penny mining outfits and supposed anti-ganker squads out there.

True, although
The louder you scream, the more you are heard. I've tried fighting them in a wardec (They Dec'd us), they weren't all too interested in PVP beyond miners. So I doubt they have any real relevance and impact outside of a select subcategory of industry and the markets (ganking ships and barges). They are good at yelling, but actions speak louder than words, and when it comes to actions, they aren't that relevant


I may have missed it...did they ever refer to themselves as PvPers?

Mining is like the most boring thing in Eve to do: you stare at an asteroid and wait for you module to make its round. I feel so sorry for all those miners being bored to death out there that I sometimes blow them up with my alt, so that they have an excuse to see some other parts of the game for at least a while. It is the least favor I can do for them as a thanks for making sure that someone was able to build the ship I fly.
