i get ganking mission runners in their blinged out ships, or freighters carrying too much cargo... but miners? ok. unless miner tears cure cancer or something...

Suicide gankers are alts. Hell, I had ne till I got bored with it and sold it. It's not about "being afraid to shoot something that might shoot back," it's about collecting tears, and feeling like you're getting away with something because "omg ppl arent supposed to kill u in hisec!" Ive been suicide ganked, I know how that wtf moment feels, and it's therapeutic to some folks to sort of "pay it forward" to the universe. It's like you are God's giant middle finger, pushing their pod right the **** out of their little mining ship. It's FUNNY.
Either the rules apply to everyone, or they don't justly apply to anyone.

So you say mining barges/exhumers should somehow be excluded from pvp along with probing t1/t2 frigs, haulers, shuttles and cynos. Ships without fitted guns/drones also cannot shoot back. Pods cannot shoot back. And none of deployable structures can shoot back!
Geezus, list is getting longer and longer. Eve Online Overview Wizard: Forum thread Homepage

Let's say you have 3-4 hours gaming time, you sit your ass on in front of your PC and have two options:
1- fleet up with friends and go gate camp, roaming or hot drop ratters in low/null sec, challenge yourself and your friends to have blast doing stuff like that even if you lost your ship.
2- roam with your alts in catalysts ganking standing still barges, keep harvesting what you call "tears" (If I get 1 isk for everyone keep mentioning tears) and think you are better player in pvp on something didn't shoot back at you.

Every ship in game is a possible and viable target and there is no morality in pixels so if you wanna be space bushido white knight that's fine but who are you to pass judgement on in-game activities of others?

You seem to be drifting from the topic here, dude the other activities you are talking and defending about which in our case trolling/ ganking miners is boring and stale and it gets old overtime, same like doing repetitive activities in EVE. The game gave you choice to interact with others in pvp, my statement was you choose the option of doing pvp against someone he will never react before or after the gank..over doing the actual fun pvp, but hey w/e floats your boats everyone.

What's a miner, and incidentally, what's trolling. I've never seen any mention of either in New Eden?

So edgy. Love those logical fallacies wrapped in a personal attack, too.

Good thing there aren't any defenseless mining ships in EVE Online, then.
Well, so long as you're at your keyboard anyway. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

After some time I abandoned it in front of the station and blew with a few friends. Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

To be fair, the fact that people enjoy talking about them either for or against makes them more relevant to modern EvE than the vast majority of ten-a-penny mining outfits and supposed anti-ganker squads out there. True, although The louder you scream, the more you are heard. I've tried fighting them in a wardec (They Dec'd us), they weren't all too interested in PVP beyond miners. So I doubt they have any real relevance and impact outside of a select subcategory of industry and the markets (ganking ships and barges). They are good at yelling, but actions speak louder than words, and when it comes to actions, they aren't that relevant
I may have missed it...did they ever refer to themselves as PvPers? Ralph King-Griffin wrote: "Eve deliberately excludes the stupid and the weak willied." EvE: Only the stong-willied need apply.

Mining is like the most boring thing in Eve to do: you stare at an asteroid and wait for you module to make its round. I feel so sorry for all those miners being bored to death out there that I sometimes blow them up with my alt, so that they have an excuse to see some other parts of the game for at least a while. It is the least favor I can do for them as a thanks for making sure that someone was able to build the ship I fly. |
