EVE General Discussion

I very much enjoyed reading. Couldn't agree more with the OP either. It's the evil in this game which makes it the only video game I would ever play and mining just doesn't fit in as far as I'm concerned.

The consequences of removing all ore from highsec are of no worry to me at all - I don't know what would happen, but if it made resources more scarce and ships more precious then it could only make eve more epic.

Damn hats off to you OP. whole thread was TLDR but 23 pages , thats impressive trolling by anyones standards

I read the whole thing and I rather agree.

When I started out in EVE, I joined a mining corporation with the intent to make money that would boost my ability to do whatever I really wanted to do in EVE, whenever I figured out what that was. I was appalled to discover that my corpmates' love for mining was nothing more than a lack of ability or desire to understand what else there was to do in this game. When a pvper started stealing our ore in a rifter to get us outraged, my corpmates raged for sure, but they never succeeded in doing anything about the pirate. Finally it was I who accidentally lured the pirate to the demise of her rifter by baiting her in an attempt to learn more about why I, as a miner, was so vulnerable to attack. My corpmates, eager for a kill, got a gank thorax in position for a warp in, while I stole my precious veldspar back and said goodbye to my retriever. I have to admit, though I had received such positive attention from my corp for that, I still felt like I betrayed someone greater than them.

When my corp was later wardecced, I thought it would be fun for once. I mined in a bantam since I was unable to actually fight alone back then. It seemed a reasonable thing to do at the time. I never once saw a member of the aggressing corp, yet my beloved mining corp dissipated within days of the war. Those people who I trusted to have my back had abandoned me at the first sign of trouble. I just don't understand how these people can still play EVE.

Cannot believe this hasn't been locked yet.

Yes mein fuhrer!! Death to the je.. Miners!

You have successfully written an essay about EVE that is on a par with Mein Kampf. You are the fuhrer, the mastermind.. You will lead the PvP Peoples to death and glory and establish the Reich of 1000 years! The last remnants of these rats that plague our universe will be our slaves. They will build us fleets of ships that shake the very fabric of the universe with their warping. Then once this golden age has come we will finish them. We will destroy them. Their plague on EVE will be no more.

Hail mein fuhrer! Hail! Hail! Hail!

Adolf Hítler - “If only one country, for whatever reason, tolerates a Jewish family in it, that family will become the germ center for fresh sedition. If one little Jewish boy survives without any Jewish education, with no synagogue and no Hebrew school, it [Judaism] is in his soul. Even if there had never been a synagogue or a Jewish school or an Old Testament, the Jewish spirit would still exist and exert its influence. It has been there from the beginning and there is no Jew, not a single one, who does not personify it.”

James 315 - "If only one system, for whatever reason, tolerates a miner in it, that miner will become the germ center for fresh sedition. If one little mining boy survives without any mining knowledge, with no hulks and no asteroids, it [Mining] is in his soul. Even if there had never been a hulk or an asteroid or High Sec, the mining spirit would still exist and exert its influence. It has been there from the beginning and there is no Miner, not a single one, who does not personify it.”

**** son, you went deep. Personally I just like seeing ships explode and tears are an added bonus.

Atleast your honest. As a hisec miner, I'd rather hear someone tell the truth than sugar coat it, like they're all cerebral. +1 to you.

Ice Miners: Targeting me won't get their money back. I knew the suicide gankers wouldn't go down without a fight, but this is different. They've crossed a line.
James 315: You crossed the line first, sir. You squeezed them and hammered them to the point of desperation, and in their desperation, they turned to a man they didn't fully understand.
Ice Miners: Suicide gankers aren't complicated, James. We just need to figure out what he's after.
James 315: With respect, Master Ice Miner, perhaps this is a man that you don't fully understand either. A long time ago, I was in nullsec. My friends and I were working for the local government. They were trying to buy the loyalty of corp leaders by bribing them with precious stones. But their caravans were being raided in a forest north of Pure Blind by a bandit. So we went looking for the stones. But in six months, we never met anyone who had traded with him. One day I saw a child playing with a ruby the size of a tangerine. The bandit had been throwing them away.
Ice Miners: So why steal them?
James 315: Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Haargoth, is that you under there?
