Should I forego a career as a miner because everyone hates them, and instead become a mission runner.

I have a better question: Why do so many miners hate the gankers, can-flippers, pirates, and others who bring them excitement and emergent gameplay that only EVE can provide?

That's not a bad idea. It will be a better training route toward the PvP you'll need to get to keep the game interesting.

I wouldn't say mining requires intelligence, and you can manufacture without mining yourself. Hard, but doable.

Actually I find it easier, certainly a lot less tedious

Just realize the forums are the vocal minority.

WHAT? Nowai bro, we represent all that is good and honest and just in the player-base of this game. Screw the 80% of players that don't even know the forums exist.

We don't hate miners. We hate carebears.

Exhibit A

Does it have to make any sense, really?

Nope.

I love miners.

I hate whiny carebears who expect CCP to fix everything for them to remove risk even though mechanics already exist to let the player do this.

I wonder how many "miners" that leaves?

A few. Never tried counting.

I can also see how doing one thing can be boring, and the need to expand your knowledge and gameplay is important to most. It's a good lesson to start out... I'll try experience all of EVE and make choices based on what I like and the things I am able to do well.

I'm new to the game, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question... but why are there so many haters toward miners out there? Don't miners provide a valuable service to the EVE community, creating the basic building blocks of the ships, weapons, etc. etc. that power every aspect of the game?

I see so many people complaining about miners with the new version. I just started recently, so I don't understand it all... but it makes me wonder. Maybe I'm missing an important point about the game?

Anyway, why do so many people hate miners? Should I forego a career as a miner because everyone hates them, and instead become a mission runner. I don't have the time to put into being a good PvPer, which is why I was drawn to EVE... you can do things in EVE, well from what I understand, without having EVE be a full time job (of which I already have one).

Gotta hate someone
