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? Everytime you read this you are required to send 100 million isk directly to me. |

I don't hate miners, its their play style!
I just get this urge to *pop* untanked barges. It's apart of my play style! New player experience, more highsec PvE missions, casual play, balance, counters to AFK cloaking, expanding the NEX store, and Power Projection.

I don't hate them as such, I've been one. What I do hate is the attitude towards other players that the most vocal seem to have, especially when it comes to them not being able to play Eve with zero interference from others.

I hate tear collectors with a passion. There is no need for it. I do not even believe (most) of you that you derive joy from harassing others. You probably do this out of boredom/lack of imagination. Yet, you diminish the joy others have in playing a game. Plus, you probably have an impact on the user base. I could imagine that there are less people playing EVE than there would be without you. How do you live with yourselves?

My argument is simple: miners are the easiest customers of the game. Yet, they pay the same subscription fee like the null bears who always demand new stuff. More miners would mean a continuous stream of easy income for CCP. Basically, you do not harvest tears, you are peeing in your own swimming pool.

Mining is time consuming. Whenever you engage in something time consuming, you get target fixation and anything that distracts you from your objective becomes a source of frustration (thus the miner's carebear attitudes)
Now, mining also is non-combative gameplay. So, picking on non-combatants just goes to show you suffer from chronic assholeism since a miner's ability to fight back is limited without switching to another ship....by which time you have long gone, hero. Minimizing the cost of replacing implants.

I think people hate miners because they don't fight back, and it's too easy to kill them. |

People are drawn to Eve via trailers that encourage you to embrace the dark side, its huge array of player interactions and by the media reports about the various scams and shenanigans involving explosions that we get upto. Without the so called "griefers" Eve would get very little press at all, let alone be featured in publications with readerships in the 10's of millions.
They aren't drawn to Eve by the PvE experience, primarily because its fairly mediocre.

as a miner, well a thesis can probably written on this subject and have all internet psychologists jump in, it's a psychoanalyst playground essentially.. but for a few basic reasons
-most people hate mining and can't understand how others even enjoy doing it -most miners are regarded as bots/afk morons -most miners multibox -they are the weakest prey in the game, an explorer can cloak, a trader doesn't leave the station etc. so they make good target practice. -as target dummies they are easily found, most times you don't need to scan where a miner is, just jump between asteroids on d-scan. -guarding miners is more boring than mining, so you will never find resistance

I only hate miners that leave half finished grav sites sitting in space until they time out instead of mining them out and have a new one spawn somewhere immediately.

I have no problem with miners. Lots of my Eve friends are miners.
I DO have a problem with AFK miners, mouthy highsec entitled miners and bot miners though...
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

I run an indi corp that often works directly with miners, and im sad to say that i do indeed hate miners. There are as always exceptions but i find nearly every miner i come across to be pretty petty about absolutely everything. They have a big carry on if they get ganked in an untanked retriever in 0.5 and whinge that they have no options but to die...well hello procurer. I ask for a small donation after several hours boosting in my orca (3%) and they red me until they need a new boost...which they bloody well wont get.
Not to mention this constant mindest that what they mine is free...so they build cheap crap out of it and screw up the prices in my area, love the forethought guys. Hell, the only good thing i find about miners is the stress relief i get when i bring out my ganking alts. |

I'm a miner and I have always been - and I like it. I like collecting stuff, so seing my ore hold being filled makes me happy. I don't see the need to hate miners - we are the back bone of Eve, without us there would be nothing to fly around in. It's kinda boring, yes, but it's our own choice, so no need to go kill someone who can't fight back. Go find some others in combat ships and go play -pew pew pew- with them.

Sorry. I don't "hate" anyone, especially in a video game. There's enough hate going around IRL, no need to bring that **** into Eve.
I do however strongly disagree with the notion that Eve is a) a single-player mining simulator and b) should be made perfectly safe. This attitude seems prevalent amongst miners. I would have a beer with anyone of my gank victims though -- no hard feelings, it's just a game. This game is built around the likes of us. It's not the assholes that are playing the wrong game. - James Amril-Kesh. |

There are two kinds of miners I hate, and more often than not, they are actually the same person:
-Miners who have taken high-sec Ice Mining to a ridiculous extreme with enormous multibox fleets. (Not so much their own fault however, its more CCPs Ice Belt design that needs to be brought in line with standard Ore Anomalies)
-Miners who want to change game design in their own selfish favor, by turning high-sec mining into an even lower risk activity than it is already. |
