Interesting concept.
I'm intrigued. Did CCP finally make everyone leave nullsec, such that we have time to watch iceminers try to afk mine? Those who cannot adapt become victims of Evolugalbugaslugakjlwsdhvbzxd Click for old school EVE Portraits: http://jadeconstantine.web44.net/Maison.htm |

Terrorfrodo wrote:Those bumbers and counter-bumpers seem to be a peculiar little subculture in EVE. I imagine a conversation with someone who doesn't play EVE and asks what you do in your free time. I might say: "I play EVE, it's a spaceship game with spaceship fights and I blow other peoples' spaceships up or get blown up myself." And he might say: "Hmkay, sounds like fun, if one is into videogames." The bumber says: "I play EVE, it's a spaceship game, and I bump other peoples' ships around with my own ship all day." The counter-bumper says: "I play EVE, it's a spaceship game, and I bump the ships of other people around as a punishment for bumping the ships of still other people around." And the dude says "Hmkay."
For you see, a miner that is bumped works harder to be. So the highered a mine bumper, to bump that little mining bee, But production did not increase oh me. Well, that bumper wasn't bumping harded enough they cried with glee. Let's hire a miner bumper-bumper oh gee Because a mine bumper workers harder if bumped by a mine bumper-bumper...
Well...
Soon all the capsulers young and small, were bumping the bumper bump bumping the bump bump bumper bumping the miner.
Now I tell you ducky, how oftly lucky, you aren't in those capsuler shoes...
My apologize for butchering "Ducky did I ever tell you how lucky you are" but it just seemed to fit. |

Um... I do nit think anyone had trouble understanding the author's point of view. it was rather the absurdity implied that bothered us. Further more, the belief that in a game such as eve, ccp would cater this much to the goons and that people woukd continue to play eve. In the case of the original article, it talked about a fairly fundemenral necessity when trying to obtain a college degree. In eve... If you rely only on afk ice mining to fund your plex, you are doing something wrong. |

No one believed that the author was INTENDING to support those things. The things that he wrote did tend to support them, however. This shows that the AUTHOR does not understand hyperbole, as his attempt at it backfired.
The central metaphor that original piece starts with is "Like everyone, he had been taught since elementary school that sharing books was nasty and wrongGÇösomething that only pirates would do." He compares that to afk-mining. Sharing books is wonderful, and afk-mining ruins the game. That comparison is farcical. |

How the heck does afk mining ruin the game? Seriously, how does me playing halo 4, CoD, or Xcom on my 360 while also mining ice or minerals hurt you so? Where did the bad afk miner touch you? Grow up. If someone chooses to mine and only be semi present at the keyboard, so be it. They take a risk of being ganked and can enjoy another activity while growing their wallet a small amount.
Botting, yeah that is bad, bannable, and should stay that way. But to say afk mining is ruining eve, well, that's as bad a premise as comparing afk mining to sharing books. |

AFK mining isn't bad per say (except that it inundates the market and makes miners who actually pay attention less profitable), but the price of mining AFK is that you are not paying attention when someone comes by and ganks your ship.
What makes AFK miners bad is that they feel like they should be protected from this, rather than accepting it as the consequence of their behavior. |

Torvin Yulus wrote:the right to afk mine torvin yulus the proveldteriat papers
for Ice Monkey, the road to revolution began in the Tolle - when Ore-inator asked to borrow his skiff. Hers had been ganked by the goons, and unless she could borrow another one, she would have to grind back up from an ibis. There was no one she dared ask, except Ice Monkey.
this put Monkey in a dilemma. He had to help her - but if he lent her his skiff, she might afk mine withit. aside from the fact that you could get permabanned for many years for afk mining, the very idea shocked him at first. like everyone else, he ahd been caught by the gooncademy that afk mining was nasty and wrong - something that only pubbies would do
and there wasn't much chance that the New Order would fail to catch him. In his gooncademy classes, Monkey learned that each ice belt had a bumper that reported when someone was afk to goon command. the next time his skiff was in a belt, goon command would send a fleetof talos to gank him. he, as the skiff owner, would recieve the harshest punishment - for not taking pains to prevent the crime.
of course, Ore-inator did not nececarilly intend to afk the mines. she might want the skiff only to mine for her pos, but Monkey knew she was of a middle class family and could hardly afford a retriever, let alone her mining permits. afk mining in a skiff might be the only way she can PLEX her accounts. Monkey understood this himself having had to take a massive loan from the Goonbank to pay for the billions in mining permits of James 315 in the hope he could make it back mining.
later, Monkey would learn that there was a time when anyone could go afk mine ina belt for free. there were independent miners who mined thousands of units of ice a day without Goonswarm Financial Grants. but by 2012 both CCP and the goons had begun charging permits to acess ice. By 2015, ice mining without a mining permit was a bannable offense.
monkey would learn that anyone used to be able to go afk while mining. there were even guides to maximizing afk minging profit, but too many non goons made money so the goons ruled that afk mining had the sole purpose of destroying the goons.
goons still needed ice, of course, but ice miners in 2015 were distributed numbered skiffs and mining permits oblt, and only to Gooncademy graduates.
it was possible to bypass the mining permits and mine some ice without paying goons and James 315. but today that would require protection from bumpers and neither Goons nor Concord would ever give you that.
Monkey concluided he couldn't lend his skiff. but he couldn't refuse to help her because ice miners are comrades. he resovled the problem by doing something even more unthinkables - he gave her his account details so the goons would think that it was him, a good citizen who NEVER afk mined.
of course if James 316 or the goons ever found out about this, it would be curtains for not only those 2 but 1000 others for making ane xample. CCP policy was to not sell PLEX to anyone on the goon blacklist so that they wouldn't be able to keep playing anymore.

AFK gaming IN GENERAL on ANYTHING is not gaming. If you're afk, then you're not playing. If you're not playing, then why are you here? Let's put aside the economical effects of afk ice mining with multiple accounts and characters for a second, and take a look at the basic premise of playing games - you're supposed to actually play them.

Wrong, everyone has a right to tell him he's a dolt, freedom of speech and all that. He can either suck it up and realize that one of the prices of freedom is criticism or he can modify his behavior to fit the norms and avoid the criticism.
What he can't do is force the people calling him a dolt to shut up.

No, but they have the ability. Welcome to EVE, where sometimes people will do mean things to you that you don't want them to do, and this is the selling point of the game.
Power is all that matters. |
