EVE has large enough pool of drooling morons who are Doing it Wrong


That right there is the crux of the problem: in your own words, the "large pool of drooling morons" aren't playing YOUR game, the way YOU think it needs to be played.

Thanks for flouting your ignorance and stupidity (yes, those are two different things) in public.

You must also realise that it is entirely possible for someone to set the value of their in-game Eve time to 'zero'.

If someone has such a low opinion of their own time, is it so surprising that other people would have a low opinion of them?

While this is true about mining, that's still no reason to devalue what you have through inefficient T1 production. As for the original question, people dislike the MIMAF crowd because it makes many/most t1 goods unprofitable to produce. MIMAF people do it in a way that hurts both themselves and other people, and the perception is most of them are ignorant of this, instead of doing it out of a sense of it being fun or rewarding. The suicide gank analogy was a good one, except there are no explosions, big ticket losses, or chance of recovering something of value.

The result is that myself and others unapologetically hold the MIMAF people in contempt.


Uh. TEARS! Never thought about being able to extract delicate tears this way. Would even appeal to me weren't mining activities so tedious... honestly, this thread should be moved to c&p.

You must also realise that even if a person considers their own time to be worthless, at least one other person is likely to value that time. In this case, it's the next guy who spots the cheap goods and relists them for the market value.

I think the attitude/mindset of the whole "what I mine is free" crowd, is one of the reasons I don't lose much sleep over Hulkageddon.

Absolutely. I have no opinion of anyone who does this. People are free to do what they like, having paid for the privalidge of playing.

I simply don't understand why someone would complain about it. One persons economic mistake is an oppurtunity for someone else.

I think it's that people are pointing out that the statement 'what I mine is free' is incorrect more so than complaining about it. Personally, I like it, more profit for me. But I'll still point out that the statement is incorrect.
