This thread is evidence of WHY many people don't like high sec miners. No simply bumping a miner is somehow the end of the world, because orbiting stuff is hard.

Just an idea, maybe the miners can come together and drive the ore prices up until either the community turns on them, the bumpers stop or Alliances wipe them out (bumpers).

The only people who don't like high-sec miners are the people are described earlier in this post. People who feel the need to coerce others into doing things their way. YOU would prefer me play a certain way so you grief me. It's lame and stupid and I'm salivating at CCPs obvious actions towards this in a patch.

Seems like a nice CCP free way to "Sandbox-A-Solution" in my book. Would be completely fair and legit.

Not going to happen, miners on the whole couldn't organise a drinking party in a brewery, expecting them to set up a cartel is laughable.

Actually, most people here don't like miners because miners are literally the most terrible players in the game. Hell, miners don't even play the game.

Where do you live?


I, too, am waiting to see this happen.

I am also one of those AFK cloakers everyone cries about

What gives you the right to think you can force upon your own dumbass "idea" of how this great game of Eve should be played? Mining is a very viable career choice for many players. If that's how THEY want to play, who are you to say they aren't "actually playing the game"? Your one-sided, flawed logic is almost laughable. Except I feel sorry for you

Because all the hundreds (thousands?) of miners in game are represented by the 1/2 dozen who post in GD (the most radical anti-bumpers probably being James or his sycophants)? Yeah...

I also go off the fact that hundreds nay throusands died to us because they didnt fit any tank. They still don't fit a tank. All they did was whine on the forums till CCP fitted a tank for them.

Miners have never adapted to any threat in the 7 or 8 years that barges have been in the game.

You AFK cloak in high-sec? As a member of a high-sec mining corp?

Gotcha, you (generic "you") have ganked all miners in the game, and all miners suck.

Random generalizations a go.

Gotcha.

Gotta admit, it must be a warm and fuzzy feeling to be able to single out a group and label them all with 100% assurance. I also don't believe (could be wrong, don't have any friends in CCP/CSM) the ship changes were in response to the whine threads (some of which I *do* believe were planted as red herrings).

I kinda think the mining ship changes were in the works for a long time and it was just serendipity that they came out when they did.

To be the best miner you must accurately mimick a bot.

This is why mining mechanics must change.

Sup Bat Country. I heard you were applying Darwinian evolution mechanics to freighters now.

When I first started playing on an old character, I was in a training corp for new players. There were a lot of miners in that corp and they were all extremely stupid. I didn't like them much but I did like their frequent QQ. It made me laugh and sometimes I would taunt them. Looking back now, I wish I'd ganked some of them while I was in that corp. I'm not sure why I didn't think of it at the time.

There are miners out there who are excellent PvPers and often welcome good fights.

Out of 600 miners killed in the caldari ice interdiction not a single one had a tank fitted.

Out of the 1000+ killed in the first gal ice interdiction fewer than 10% had any sort of a tank fitted.

In the last ice interdiction they had, unsuprisingly, no tank fitted to most of them.


I think its safe to say that the vast bulk of miners do not fit a tank. But by all means go out and run your own tests.

Also its funny that barges only got an update after the ice interdictions started and one of those changes was to add more base EHP.

Ah yes, the famous awox.

Don't worry. At least you got yourself some quality player-driven content to amuse you while playing HIGHSEC ONLINE.

Our KBs were let down by the miners though, of course.

Tsk, bot-aspirant behavior.
