Now that ccp has removed canflipping from the game, what are some effective ways to harass miners?

Carebears are so ingrained in their single-activity play styles that they can't fathom other players doing more than a single, repetitive activity in EVE. If a guy flips miners cans and collects their tears after boom boom on a slow Tuesday evening, that's all he ever does, duh!

I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

But in all seriousness, you can still steal from their cans, Im not sure how long the suspect flag lasts, but I remember from before
RMR [red moon rising] when there were no flags from stealing from cans, everyone could loot and take back, no flashy reds then sir.
Of course it was a god send when can flagging was introduced, but the miners adapted as usual and so should you.

You should either take more time to bait them, bump em, gank them or maybe move to easier prey [like mission runners]. To a miner, isk equals time, so the more time you take from them, the less isk they will make. Maybe put some 100,000 isk bounties on them to unnerve them.
