I hate them with a passion. I've done my fair share of ganking and tear collecting, but even in null when I think of miners it makes me automatically hate them. Yes, I understand the need for it but when someone is only a miner and does nothing else it just makes me die inside. Not taking into consideration the bots/afk miners how do you miners live with yourselves? It's not all about isk.

The only thing I can do to remedy this is occasionally jump into hs to collect tears, but even then I am still left unsatisfied. What can I do to be a bigger burden to these sub class players?

Why do you hate miners?

Exec: Corp Recruiter

For more info, visit our recruitment post :

"Miners - Rorq support in 0.0 space, constant mining ops, and a retriever program. While we look for dedicated Rorq pilots, we still will have plenty to mine in 0.0. There is money to be made here. Our corp. requires allot of minerals for ongoing manufacturing and we are more than willing to pay miners to get these minerals for us. We are looking to offer excellent refining and an excellent pay system. On top of all this, if you show yourself to be a dedicated miner and learn the required skills, the corp. will give you a Hulk free of charge. We need our miners and we take care of them. "

I dislike whiny hypocrites...why don't you go recruit some more miners for your corp Mr. Recruiter...Can I have a free Hulk? Roll



shush.

he's skimming minerals off the top. And because he's the one who handles all the ore, all the ickle miners don't notice.

The more miners he has, the more minerals he can skim.

I've often considered trying to start an indy/mission running corp to do this very thing, but decided I can't be arsed, and I dislike K-space.

I wonder if there is a survey about why players quit their trail or quit after 1 month. Some heads might roll in CCP hq.



CCP does have this type of information.

One possibility is it emerges from insecurity amongst Eve PvPers.

Afterall we are continually told by FPS players that its not "real" PvP if the ships auto-aim and by combat flight-simmers it's not "real" flying if manual piloting involves clicking randomly at a blank spot on the screen and you do not even need a joystick and can just fly with mouse clicks.

Add to this all the allegations that EVE is just "spreadsheets in space" and a sort of slow moving tactical naval battleship game that is about exciting as watching grass grow at 10% TIDI.

Its no wonder people want to log on and blow stuff up.


From my point of view, as a former Ultima Online player, I am quite simply tired of being told that the way I play the game isn't valid. I'm even more sick of change being made to that effect. *cough Trammel cough* The crying to cause those changes coming from pretty much the same category of people in both games, we call them carebears now.

EVE is my game. They have other games for people like that. Hell, damn near EVERY OTHER GAME is for people like that. Leave me my game, and stop trying to make it like everything else. They're not trying to make it "better", they're trying to make it better for them.

And Trammel killed Ultima Online.



Lies! Ultima Online lives!

.......on life support.

5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.

3. Ranting is prohibited.

All users are encouraged to honestly express their feelings regarding EVE Online and how it can be improved. Posts that are non-constructive, insulting or in breach of the rules will be deleted regardless of how valid the ideas behind them may be. Users are also reminded that posting with a lack of content also constitutes non-constructive posting.
