Then do some real PvP. I hear its atleast mildly interesting and they put up some sort of resistance.

Through re-introducing drone poo, and modification to the salvaging system, it would be possible to remove mining from the game completely.
Ships destroyed in PvP could be salvaged for materials equal or greater to that which is required to build the destroyed ship, thus keeping the flow of minerals positive over the number of ships destroyed.

No more need for mining at all. Exhumers and barges and the mining lasers could be relegated to collectibles or just removed from the database completely, purging Eve from what is clearly viewed as a serious game mechanic flaw.

You do know that there are quite a few people who actually, you know, enjoy mining?

Many of these people have multiple accounts.

I don't think CCP is willing to sacrifice the profits from these people to fulfill your PvP arena EVE vision.

You should go mine something that can mine back.

9 years of blowing them up hasn't made them quit so I doubt they will be quiting now.

Good grief, learn your place.

Pretty sure this isn't actually possible.

The post I was responding to was describing how mining could be removed from the game.

Somehow, I think that would make the miners all quit.




oic.

Well played.

I like how he frames his opinions as facts. It must really anger him that people don't play EVE the way he thinks they should play it.

stuff ...

Many EVE players, myself included, have written extensively on the subject of highsec miners and how their presence warps the game in undesirable ways.

Rules don't make things better, they just make busybodies and bullies feel like they are in control.

If you want to make hisec better, remove Concord, and let the players develop their own protective agencies and schemes.

Confirming that Christians are the only people who do this.

And so far Christians are the ones being tortured, killed, prosecuted everywhere and missioneers kidnapped and eventually (expecially South America) killed because they support the local tribes against the big holders. That's some good shoving they do.

-- Miners should avoid anything associated with the unhealthy lifestyle of botting. This means not only disabling their EULA-violating macros, but also unseemly practices like AFK mining and excessive mining.

-- Since suicide gankers and can-flippers are a valued part of the fabric of our society, miners should treat them with respect, congratulating gankers on a successful kill.

-- Miners should know their place. Like algae, they are at the bottom of the food-chain. I'm always amazed how, despite surrendering their dignity to highsec ice mining, carebears can nevertheless exhibit the most absurd level of ego and hubris.

-- Petitioning of non-miners is a serious offense. Not only does it waste GMs' time, it also displays hypocrisy: The problem facing highsec is botters, not bumpers or gankers.

-- No whining or advocating pro-miner changes to the game. I think we've had our fill of this. I'd like to see miners seriously contemplate the virtue of making the game more difficult for miners, e.g. by nerfing Concord.
