Please, I literally just went through an entire post of yours refuting all your ideas and arguments. You want me to respond to everything you say?

Fine.

OK so I read this and honestly it sounds like you nicked it from someone else again because it doesn't seem to have any relevance to the situation at all and I'm afraid it doesn't make any sense.

Great. Literally good for you. *Brofist*

Happy now?

You're nearly right. We do care if someone is AFK. We just don't care that they're ATK if they're mining. Look at it this way; a player in EVE can have several levels of bot-aspiration, or how much he wants to be a bot. Actually running a bot program is obviously 10, on a scale of 1 to 10. Being an AFK miner is a good 6; you're getting a computer to do tasks for you with no input from a human after a certain point. Being a miner of any sort is still at least a 4, since you're getting a computer to do tasks for you with no input from a human after a certain point, even if they're doing other stuff ingame.

The New Order wishes to wipe out bot-aspiration altogether. Towards that end, we'll target bots first, AFK miners second and other miners third. That doesn't mean we won't target AFK miners.


You guys don't sincerely buy into this shtick, do you? Some sort of crusade to get people from stop getting computers to do tasks for them with no human input? Out to reform EVE gameplay? If you really wanted to do that, seems you'd take it up with CCP or your most sympathetic CSM.

This New Order code thing is just a B-movie implementation of The Mittani's half-heated anti-AFK mining ramblings from a year ago. Guys, they came from a Goon-- you weren't supposed to take them at face value and as true gospel.

This is the part where I remind you of the "RP" in MMORPG.

Whether or not they actually buy into it is utterly irrelevant.

There's profit to potentially be had so it's a legitimate playstyle.

What could be more simple than that?

We are not saying it isn't a legitimate playstyle. We just choose to oppose it.

Recited regurgitated crap from your website. I read it, it makes sense but I still disagree. Re-word it however you like, a turd is still a turd no matter how much you polish it. If you can't except my opinion and continue to force your "power" to control others to your line of thinking then fine. I refuse to feed into your tyranny.

To those of you who are attempting to counter-bump the bumpers, godspeed. You're trying to do something, at least, and as I said before that is my only major problem with the AFK miners. They CANT do anything because they aren't there, and no matter how mad they get, they will not change their behavior of letting other people do whatever they want to them. If that's behavior you want to encourage, I say go for it.

Hey, maybe you'll get so good at counter-bumping that you will manage to stop the bumpers! I wouldn't expect much thanks from the people you're protecting though. The ones who are the problem will never see you spending your time and effort trying to help them.

So the olive branch you offer the bumpers to dissuade them from their "beliefs" is actually a stick of poison sumac?

My money is on the bumpers, here, then.

So I checked out the www.MinerBumping.com site... Wow. You guys are bullies. What's the matter? Did mommy not give you enough hugs growing up?

What you're doing is not dealing with a legitimate problem but harrassing players into buying permits which they don't need. You don't even care if they are AFK. You just want the isk form players without backbones buying "permits" It's extortion. From where I'm sitting, this whole bumping business is a front. Yet, in EVE, It's perfectly legal but still wrong. This "code" you speak of is a load of crap and frankly, you can shove it straight up your ***.

later, Monkey would learn that there was a time when anyone could go afk mine ina belt for free. there were independent miners who mined thousands of units of ice a day without Goonswarm Financial Grants. but by 2012 both CCP and the goons had begun charging permits to acess ice. By 2015, ice mining without a mining permit was a bannable offense.

(SNIP)...
of course if James 316 or the goons ever found out about this, it would be curtains for not only those 2 but 1000 others for making ane xample. CCP policy was to not sell PLEX to anyone on the goon blacklist so that they wouldn't be able to keep playing anymore.

The future of 2015 is coming, do not let it happen!

I'm not a mining bumper, nor do I support the new order.

And no, I mostly used that as a fancy way to say that I think you're lying about not being a troll. This post of yours also confirms it.

Edit: You also keep spelling bumpers wrong in the URL. As I have no idea where that site is going to lead, I'm not going to click it.

In the year 2012, after Torvins exotic post about the future, The Mittani himself started a new high sec group to work along side Miniluv. It was to help those newbies in need before they get sucked into the fold of AFK mining. It was the biggest defining moment in EVEs (bigger than the fall of BoB/IT) history and shaped CCPs high sec policy for the next 3 years. The organization was called goon academy.
At first Care bears were afraid, but like all wild animals in the world, they were tamed and become part of the community. Slowly but constantly one by one all miners and care bears became apart of the goonacadamy (or executed publicly.), which they learned the basic food chain of eve and took their place at the bottom supporting James 315 and all agents of the New Order. Revolutionaries were banned and silenced as the tears flooded the streets and the community united under this finally found its true routes.
