To the OP (and other miners).

Escape the clutches of the Order and mine in the free frontier of low sec space. Miners were once the trailblazers of civilisation, exploring and prospecting every dark corner for precious ore. Honour your forefathers and leave the confines of high sec. Miners belong in the frontier.



Or, perhaps, go to the 95% of highsec that the New Order hasn't been able to touch. Their limited numbers can only do so much before it's time for them to get changed and tucked in for sleepy time.

Now i have played eve for about three years so im not a newbie. I have noticed that here recently WE MINERS are now being harassed by ppl who think we need a permit to mine. These ppl have forgot that if it was not for us MINERS eve wouldnt be able to stand. We mine, we build, and we put things on market for others to buy in which we make a pretty good profit off of and now we are being asked to pay for a permit. Yes i know that they say that its only 10M per character but if we give into this my friends and fellow miners we are opening up for a lot more to start happening. Look at history the governments that have caused wars within their own countries have taken little by little from their own ppl until finally their ppl had enough and its the same case here in eve if we allow them to get away for this then later on down the road they are going to keep asking for more and more and til there is nothing left to give.

So what i am asking is until these ppl that think they need to govern use pull back and stop this non-sense we raise the prices is eve's market and hold them high. If we do this it will open eve back up to free mining like it should be.

thank you for your participation



You really don't see the whole picture do you?

You 'Miners' build stuff to sell and make a profit as you said, however if PVP'rs didn't fire ammo, use drones or blow up ships. You wouldn't have anyone to sell your items to. It's an endless circle, and just because you are too lazy to get the means to defend your self, why should others stand by you?

If you pay anyone a 'fee' for a 'permit' to mine, you don't know what you're doing.

Given the lack of punctuation, atrocious grammar and complete disregard for anything approaching syntax, I would say going back to school may not be a bad idea in your case. You clearly weren’t paying attention first time round.

Well to be honest, having Kane come after you is a reasonable cause for alarm. On the other hand if he truly believed what he said he would face it with dignity and maybe earn himself a teensy shred of respect.

Thank you for your brave/foolish attempt at fighting back the glorious heroes/despicable bandits of New Order. We hope you enjoyed your heroic victory/brutal defeat and a realization that all it takes to win is to have balls/hisec miners have literally no power.

Please accept a company voucher for: One Genuine ACME Pitchfork and Ten ACME Torches*. Thank you for choosing ACME.

*ACME is not responsible for any and all injuries to self or third-party following improper handling and misuse of its products. Please remember that the torches and pitchfork provided are farming equipment not intended as weapons to be utilized in a peasant uprising.

You know, while the new order may be a droplet in the sea of hisec miners numbers-wise, they make for it causing their victims to cry so loud you can hear them scream in space!

I'm convinced that most of the whining about PvP posts are from alts of people that then respond to roast their own alts OP.

Spend some time collecting data about whine threads and who responds to them. Enlightning :)

Those are some BAD-ASS birds.

On the other hand, now I've got the urge to buildy/buy/fit 300 Catalysts, and hire mercs to use them to clear out an Ice system's anoms until the cats are gone.

or buy even more and shut down an entire system (belts included) if the pilots aren't mining in procurers.

Couldn't have said it better.

Though... it would be interesting to see what sort of impact Hitman's idea would have. I'm not sure it would do much in any event. Solo miners, in my opinion, do little in providing Corps, etc what they need. Really, all that's going to happen is those miners will end up with a stockpile of unsold stuff... which will finally be sold at normal market prices when the realization sets in that prices haven't been effected, Goon Corps haven't been negatively impacted, etc.

They tell you to buy a permit and you pay for said permit, your burrying yourself in your own stupidity if you buy into it, grab yer ships and go suicide gank them when their missioning or doing whatever they do when their not griefing

i had a guy try and tell me i needed a permit to mine, he killed my little retreiver when i refused, so i waited used my locater agent several times. got some buddies togethr, when he was out doing a mission in his kronos we warped in and killed it. then said you need a permit to mission 100 mill please. and we took all his mission loot :) guess he wont say you need a mining permit again :D

This will never work because, as someone who mines to support his manufacturing, not all miners are intimidated by anything whatsoever. I also don't have to mine to make isk, also I have clones all over New Eden. And finally there is no "WE MINERS" unless you had someone standing over your shoulder while typing that drivel.

I can imagine your probably one of those guys who can only do one thing, with one body, with all your "stuff" piled together in one station. Small wonder these thugs have your jimmies so rustled.

By the way, since we're already talking, do you want to buy a rifter? I've got the cheapest rifters in Metropolis. If you can find a cheaper rifter, buy it!

when i first started playing eve, i mined - a LOT. it was the only way i thought i could make steady income. quite frankly, over the last couple of years, i've seen a massive amount of posts that are filled with hatred for miners. personally, i think it's a viable career, but i just don't like doing it as much as exploration, incursions, and especially small gang pvp.

i'm a bit surprised that with all the miner-hatred that's been spewed on the forums, especially by nullbears, that someone hasn't created a petition to have mining ships taken out of eve. of course that wouldn't make sense, but that's how that group comes across on the forums.

i've never been able to discern whether this hatred is aimed at all miners, or just the ones that are botting. if it's the botters, i understand, but if it's towards an actual player that enjoys mining (yep, they're out there), i can't begin to understand why anyone, besides a narcissistic prick, would have a problem with it.

You jack you're prices up and watch in awe as one if your own breaks ranks and under cuts you, cleaning up in the process. That's eve...

Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction...
