EVE General Discussion

I find the whole miner bumping thing to be highly annoying. I don't like extortion in any form. However, you will need to learn to deal with it. Here are some suggestions.

- Orbit the rock and keep your speed up. There are very few bumpers with the skill to consistently hit you.
- Keep the rock between you and the bumper, harder to do but it helps.
- Go to a different belt/system.
- Remember that while you are mining, earning isk, they are wasting their time on you.
- Never, EVER pay them money.
- Laugh at them in local.


I heard rumor that CCP was looking at a mechanic that would cause damage to ships involved in collisions. Is this true?

Yeah, things sure have changed a lot within the past 5 years.

Anyway, welcome back to Grief Online.

Er, I mean Eve Online.

From reading some of your posts I see the same recurring issue that you have with this game. You don't want to do anything that would help your situation, however, you want someone else to do it for you. This is not how things work here. Also indirectly threatening CCP about money if you don't get your way is very childish.

You should put forth the effort "stand up for yourself" and take the necessary steps and precautions to reduce the likelihood of being ganked. CCP has given you everything you need, you just need to be smart enough to use it.

If you came here legitimately looking for ways to counter NO and admitted that you really didn't know how to, people from NO, other pirates and other people in this thread would have been the first to offer help. It's all about your attitude.

You can play Eve Online as a solo player until someone else decides to bring you back into the fold. Another idea to consider, once you make a mistake and loss a ship is what you do next is paramount to the way others view you in this game. Example, you get ganked, but instead of putting forth the effort to reduce the probability of getting ganked again, you come to the forums and rage about it, you demand CCP intervention whether that be directly, or indirectly, you threaten to quit said game.. etc. If you can't handle this, I have two questions. 1) Why the hell did you sign up for this game? 2) Can I have your stuff?

Interesting.

And I suppose your post isn't trolling? where the **** are all these bumpers and griefers because i've been living in high sec for 7 months, MINING and didn't see one, anyway.. the normal whiners crybabies in this thread, people tell you to HTFU because they're sick of your ****..



lol.

:D First post of the morning.

And nobody is telling me to HTFU, since I'm not the OP. But I've seen countless noobs insulted and trolled into leaving. It's pointless trolling from a bunch of neckbeards.

Bull. EVE is a game like any other, designed for entertainment. Just because half the community wants to treat it like it's the most important part of their life and that it must be endured and worked doesn't change that. The really dumb thing is all this "player driven content", like the alts bumping and ganking miners isn't really done to older players. I've never been bumped or ganked, simply because I've played long enough before it existed to know how to avoid it now. So basically what's happening is new players are arriving, getting bullied by the older ones and not bothering to stick around. NEWSFLASH: That's not content.

You seriously need to observe a new player coming into the game without helping them or guiding them and watch what the new player experience is like. It's absolute rubbish. The game tells them nothing and when they ask for assistance anywhere they get trolled or scammed. It honestly shocks me that new accounts are still ticking up, and I'm convince that the majority of it is vets creating alt accounts.

Most people have never liked it and never will. That's why it's popular, because it's a niche game that appeals to a certain type of player. CCP doesn't need to appeal to your friends, they need to appeal to the niche market that enjoys the game.

I don't even know what this post was trying to accomplish. It certainly had nothing to do with the OP.

And you're right, there's no issue. Let's just merrily plod along as is. You can go mine AFK while running your little bumper alt. I'll continue to play around in null and we can just await the inevitable collapse that is inherent to any game where the vets are completely intolerant of new players.

I could be wrong though. It's not like CCP employees are hastily jumping ship or anything right?

You mean a few well-known devs have left CCP over the past year? I think someone managed to beat a list out of one of your fellow conspiracy theorists and it came to something like 4 of them.

ah **** it, i'm replying to a troll..
go back to the covops thread pls.

you're a nullbear, i'm a carebear, you're worst

love the psychology bullshit in this thread though keep it up (P.S: it's the same person who had the avatar of a bald woman and started various threads on it psychology/gankers, now in doomheim)
