Pay the fee, it's 10m isk to afk to your little hearts content.


Why should he have to pay a fee for a resource center that does not belong to this group?


Because that group has the ability and desire to disrupt that resource center. I don't make a thread on EVE-O whenever a roaming gang comes through my ratting system and disrupts my resource center, I adapt and DEAL WITH IT.




Or you can just pay 10m isk and be done with it!


Don't care. Let them mine in high sec. James is an undesirable deserving of ban for interrupting paying customers' game play.


You disrupt other miners and manufacturers when you sell your goods, maybe CCP should ban you, right?

FTFY

What some people fail to realise is that it's not the bumpers who are the undesirables, it's the people that turn on their PC, log in to Eve, lock up a roid/icicle, hit the f keys and then bugger off for an hour. The "belligerent undesirables" such as gankers are the ones consuming all those afk minerals and ice products, because the miners certainly aren't, they can't be because a sizable number of them are not at their keyboards.

Nope doesn't work you can still be bumped, it's just a little more involved to pull it off, some of the bumpers are pretty pro at removing orbiting barges.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Here's a fix for you:

Employ and deploy anti-bumping bumping ships, to bump out the bumpers before they bump you Roll Tricky skill to learn though.

Oh! Does that mean I can get a ban for the player that destroyed my nice spaceship in lowsec, too? He interrupted my game play, too, and I am a paying customer, too! Roll

You are aware that there are cheaper ways to chat on the internet? But I have to admit, EVE is a nice graphical version of a chat program.

I support this, because I want to shoot some bumpers. It's so easy: get an alt into a hulk of terror and wait for a hillarious bumper

Aside from the instanced dungeon and raid content, WoW is actually pretty brutal when it comes to competition for resources.

These people wouldn't do that well over there either. Well, at least on the pvp servers.

Yes, get yourself Concorded, that will show the hilarious bumper a thing or two.

I'm sure they'll leave everyone alone after that.

Bumping at the very least should flag you as aggressive and CONCORD should stay out of it.

ITT: Miners who want to turn the whole of hi-sec into a gankfest by making bumping give aggro just because they're ~mad~ about being forced to be at the keyboard once in a while.

Malc approves.

Yes this couldn't possibly have any repurcussions elsewhere in the game.

Which reminds me of something else the game badly needs.
When a gate activates, the massive power output should short out the electronics of every ship within 250km making combat next to impossible for them.

Either way I'd have no problems avoiding 100 Megathrons, bots on the other hand might not. Twisted

You really think if bumping gave aggro, the miners would do anything about it? That they'd magically dock their Hulks and take out their properly-fit pvp battleships?

Most wouldn't. Some would. I'm guessing just the idea would scare enough people not to bump. PvP avoidance is strong with this group, possibly worse then with the miners.

In the gal ice interdictin we spent weeks ganking barges while open to attack from anyone. They didnt lift a finger to protect themselves. The only vroup who did was a group of pirates after easy killmails.

If you really think that, then it pleases me. I'm happy that there are people like you out there. I wouldn't enjoy myself without their presence.
