If you hate people that semi-afk while mining (like me). Then I have a proposal:
Make a video of your self at the keyboard in front of your computer screen (this means with a webcam) mining in high-sec for two hours or more spamming D-scan.
If you can accomplish this, then you need to make a live stream of you doing it every day for a month.
Once you have accomplished this, you may declare war of the semi-afk miners who are "ruining this game." (when quite contrary to the fact miners are the reason this game even functions).
I'm beginning to believe that anyone who "hates miners" in a "video-GAME" are seriously mentally deranged.
Rules for making the video:
1) You may not alt-tab or minimize the game in anyway nor have any other application open that you may use to pass the time.
2) You must remain at the keyboard the entire time in front of your computer.
3) Your head must be facing the screen at all times watching the lasers strike the asteroids.
4) You must be in Caldari space.
5) You are not allowed to die to a suicide gank at any time during the video.
Each producer of the initial 2hour-video will receive an additional 5 million ISK from me personally to supplement their mining. You will then receive a free Hulk and Mack if you manage to keep up a live stream of your mining for one month for at least 10 hours a week (scheduled times). |

This game works well without the AFKers.
Better, even.
Nobody needs you, stop kidding yourself.

You are welcome.
So this is a continuation of that thread? I am not sure how that is necessary, but sure. I will play along.

Explain to me what "Legitimate Mining" means. Does it mean staring at your screen for two hours watching a pixel laser strike a pixel asteroid? Aligning your ship, fitting your Hulk correctly, watching local, checking intel are mining related activities as far as i understand. Market research as well, i guess. For all i care you can check the markets and get into trading while mining or chat up your corp mates and/or post d**k jokes in local. Just play the f******g game and don't go afk or you deserve not even a single piece of rock. Surviving in highsec is not hard. All that is required is being at your keyboard and be playing. If you are not at your keyboard for more than 10 seconds, you better dock up or else you deserve to be blown into bits for being indistinguishable from a bot. Yes, mining is boring. But you chose at as your profession, so you are to blame if you are not entertained enough. If you think it sucks, then do something more engaging. EVE has plenty to do for everyone.

Seriously, I'll mine for two hours, you can watch me. I'll mine with all my dudes. I won't go AFK. I won't use a bot. Hell, I won't even use ISBoxer. I'll just mine.
You'll probably say it doesn't count because it's in nullsec though. |

Highsec has one of the most profitable activities in the game (L4 missions) and when incursions were running, it had far-and-away the most profitable activity in the game. If people choose not to take advantage of that while living there, it's their problem. Besides, any mention of that as an issue is because, given a risk vs reward structure, the most secure section of the game shouldn't have the most profitable activities, otherwise there's literally no point at all in living anywhere else.
But that's a whole other topic for a whole other thread. This thread is for making fun of a dumb that posted an even dumber thread. |

What does AFK cloaking have to do with highsec mining?
Oh right. Nothing.
Personally, i am not affected by AFK cloakers in any way, so i can't really care less.

You dont seem to understand the issue. You can afk-mine all you want. I afk-mined back when I started playing (altrough it was in nullsec and it got my first few ships blown up quickly). Just dont whine because you cant AFK-mine while being safe from it's consequences. There are plenty of way to AFK-mine making it less risky(brick-tanked ships, covetors, battleships, gravimetric, missions, lowsec), but none to make it 100% safe.

Actually, I think the OP is a genius, he/she just proved that your hatred of "semi-afk" miners is ILL-FOUNDED because none of you would bother to be "legitimate" miners yourself.
Your real problem is that you like to make someone the boogey man for all the problems in the game. AFK mining helps this game much more than it could ever hurt it.
How about we all band together and gank the real problem-makers in this game. Goonswarm and their tech monopoly. We should start writing "manifestos" on the Tech bottleneck.
OH WAIT THE GOONS SHOOT BACK!
PS
Everytime I see these afk mining haters I'm going to refer them here so they can proves themselves to the community what good miners they are. |

Legitimate Miners are cool by me, though i do pity them a bit. I wouldn't want to do what they do, but if they like it, who am i to keep them from doing it. Getting rid of AFK miners for good would improve the conditions so much for those miners that actually play the game, it would be incredibly healthy for the game as a whole.
Huh. Guess i don't like people that devalue other people's gameplay without actually playing themselves, if you are looking for a more exact definition. Or "leeches", if you like a tl;dr term.

I think you hit the nail on the head, and the reason of all the haters in this thread. While 5 mil is nearly nothing, I would say that the fact that no one wants to do it, just shows that they are all hypocritical anyways.They shouldn't expect other people to do what they themselves would never do. |

Okay but the interesting bit is that not just the afk miners are getting caught up in this.
IF someone is mining in a system where they have to scroll they could get killed even if they were on the ball.
It is the main reason why mining in null is just flat out safer cause nobody is there.
Basically gankers use the system numbers to hide them.
Not an excuse just a basic difference between the two.
Now that I think about it, mission runners, market dwellers, industrials, ratters and everyone else in high-sec are really helping to kill miners.
Funny in a way, and sad.

Do it in The Forge, at a ice mining belt of your choice, by the end of next week, in Hulk or Mackinaw. Tank as you wish.
I will send you 300M for a 4 hours video with your head stuck watching those attractive lasers like a mesmer.
To best simulate the average miner you can only use 1 (one) ship.
You MUST spam D-Scan on cooldown of course.
300M for 4 hours is on par with current incursions. You are getting top pay for the so called lowest risk.
Deal?
Edit: of course I'll come watch that you won't bring your butt buddies to protect you.

I'd rather spend 5 hours semi-AFK mining in Low-sec than 5 minutes non-AFK mining in High-sec with Hulkageddon around... No wait. I'm already doing that with one of my other chars. High-sec has become like low-sec, only with a lot more people and a lot less security. |

I don't ask about your nose, because it's all brown and smelly off apologetic propaganda of course.

I never said I hated miners, but 5million isk is not exactly an incentive to spend several weeks training up to be a miner and purchasing the ships and equipment in game, plus getting the Webcam + software etc to do the live streaming. |
