EVE General Discussion

The majority of the miner bumping is happening in a single system. Is it so hard for you to move a few jumps?

Even better. Then their impact is minimal to begin with.

…so spread it out among yourselves.

That's incorrect; occasionally we have gatherings where we all operate together, but usually it's every bumper for him-/herself

I did this a couple days ago, and incurred the wrath of everyone in local BUT the people I was bumping!

Unreal. 20+ pages of people crying about this. Why not just go play mine craft or some **** and quit crying about everything in this game.

"Ccp please lower plex prices wah"

"Ccp make them stop bumping me!"

"Wah don't nerf my overpowered heavy missiles"

"Ccp please wipe my ass for me I'm a drooling idiot wah"

And this folks, marks the last time I ever look at eve forums other than features n ideas. Way too much crying.

Dear OP,
I have tried to mine some care over at give-a-damn solar system - belt 1, but the mining attempt failed. Many pilots have been asking for years to destroy the likes of you (risk adverse bot mining carebear trash), but we've only gotten more CONCORD, etc so that your ilk will stop crying and water this game down to a steaming WoW in space POS game. You were not extorted really, you don't need defense. At most what did you lose? A few seconds of time.


Solutions

o Actually sit at your computer and get your lazy carebear self back into position. It takes about 10 seconds
o Come to lowsec so that we may harvest your tears moar.
o Unsubscribe and leave EVE to pilots who are actually willing to take risk for the rewards within the context of the game enjoy it again.

You see, that would require actual effort. Bot mining carebear trash don't like effort outside of running a script.

I love you. :3

If miners really wanted to defend themselves they could move to losec where Concord won't frown upon them shooting at something other than Ice, roids and the occasional rat.

But the miner mantra is thus

"we like being able to AFK because mining is pissboring. CCP should nerf those who interfere in our mining and protect us from people who have the gall to interrupt us from watching films while we mine" (miners can't deny this one I see it local all the time and can even provide chat logs)

"Our 15bux is worth more to CCP than the 15bux paid by the nasty people who don't like the way we play, gankers and bumpers are belligerent undesirables who have no place in a spaceship game" (that is marketed as a sandbox that is full of said belligerent undesirables btw)

"Give us proper bumping mechanics where a cruiser can't move a mining ship because of the difference in mass, but don't let the bumpers have the ability to counteract any changes to bumping mechanics" (if we could we would pack our cruisers with explosives set to explode on impact and give a whole new meaning to suicide ganking, one of the military tutorials actually uses this methodology and I would love to see it given to the players)

"Wha wha wha, insert generic whinge about anything at all that means we actually have to be present at the keyboard"

I'm a hisec miner & producer, amongst other things, and tbh I hate all those miners that whine about people doing sandbox like stuff in a sandbox, all the time devaluing my labours by flooding the markets with cheap mining products they gather while afk. I can deal with getting bumped, ganked and otherwise interfered with, via the mechanic of tear denial. I don't cry and whine when these things happen, I don't get mad, I accept it as a fact of life that others are free to interfere with how I play, because it's a sandbox and some people like to kick over other peoples sandcastles and even take a crap in the corner, while others like to construct sandcastles knowing full well they're going to get kicked over eventually.

I wish I could multiple like some posts in this thread, this is one of them.
