OK, I got to say this debate is pretty getting pretty old. This thread is an attempt to ask a simple question.

Ok, yea, most mining is a simi AFK sort of thing. I even do it that way. Set back set the miner to go, while paging between a few different clients. I never do it when I’m PVP’ing, but will usually be running toons running haulers, and such. I do market stuff too. Actually I do this mostly, my main source of income within the game.

I do PVP, haven’t been much of a ganker, not really interested in it honestly. I truly do believe the people that do this, are simply into ruining other peoples day period. I don’t think there is a mean one in the bunch, in the real world. I actually think quit the opposite.

I honestly believe most of these raging people, determined to preserve there rights to ruin your day are simply un happy people, lashing out the only way they know how, or the only way they can. Life probably sucks for them, so they feel the need to be mean in Eve, since there real lives probably suck that much.

Most people would consider me a type “A” personality type, I love serious competition, to me ganking has never been about that.

For me, Eve is a bit of an escape from reality of sorts. I honestly think it is for most people. Honestly my life is stressful enough, and challenging to boot, and does suck quite frequently.

I play Eve to relax and have a good time.

I was in an ice belt last night, one I mine from time to time, Not frequently. I remember warping in there, and seeing at least 30 – 100 people, or toons if you like, working mining Ice. Last night there were non, I honestly didn’t believe it.

For those that actually made it thru my little ramble here I got to ask you, “Miners, care bear sorts please”. At what point will you determine that Eve isn’t fun any more, and it’s time to move on? I think many have already reached this point. Who really wants to hang out with a bunch of Mean people. I don’t, do you?

Please don’t miss interpret me, every player does in fact have the right to do anything they want in this game within the EULA. I will support this to the max.

My specific question is, when do you decide you don’t want to do anything at all in Eve?

I ask this mostly because, it appears CCP is actually siding with the gankers here, and it is there game no bones about that. The game has changed as we know it, many congratulations to the Gankers.

There are lots of other good games out there, I tried some last weekend. I personally tried BSG online last weekend, found it pretty interesting. In the short term, if you look for me I'll be there. Bye

Eve is a thinking game that requires you to adapt to the actions of others. You are obviously unable or unwilling to do this. I would suggest you avoid sandbox games in the future, as you don't appear to have the sort of mindset/expectations that would make one fun for you.

People need to stop blaming players for a ******, boring game mechanic that is called 'mining'. Blame CCP.

I play eve for the same reasons as you, to escape from reality and to relax, shame that others can't understand that there are people who play eve for completely different reasons.


For me personally, i'll quit when Im not allowed to play the game my way, regardless of what anyone thinks. It could be mission running now but it could be some sort of pvp in the future. I'll quit eve if some other spaceship game comes out that has player driven market but with less douches, until then eve is the only game to play.

Did you actually read OP's post? The problem is ganking, not mining. The problem is the people who only get their rocks off by ruining somebody else's day. OP didn't actually blame anybody.

Why don't you grow up and stop telling other people what to do? Eve is not a sandbox any more. It's a field of bullies.

Seriously Ginseng, the first post in these type of threads should always be "can I have your stuff?"

But since it hasn't happened yet

OP, can I have your stuff?

Farewell Capsuleer! Best of luck in your new endeavors! I too have been thinking these same thoughts.

Hopefully you'll return to Eve!

Of course it's ganking.

It's always ganking.

He's been quitting for over a month now it seems.

Also I'll be sure to look up Minmatar Citizen 121123433 on BSG later on.

I wish CCP would start biomassing all the accounts related to an IP address that posts about quitting.

I hope you joined the toasters side and not the skinjobs Twisted
One thing i like about that game is that you can play it solo, small gang or the blob way without having to join a 100+ man wing :D
And in the end, one advice if you want to have fun in that game: master the art of flying a strike :)
