And thus, as arbitrary, pointless? I mean, you're basically telling me that you just made it up on the spot, and that it has no meaning as such.

So what was your point crying so hard about it in the first place? What are you even trying to say?


Good merciful Lord, learn to spell. Semantics. It takes away from what you are trying to say, if you sound like a child doing so.

Nope, just all the miners I've ever killed...

If the boot fits...

...and you still haven't realized you did not spell that word correctly? Heck, at first I thought you were talking about Symantec antivirus software.

You know, this.

Here is a perfect example. Just because you killed 5 miners all un-tanked your limited mind has to belive that all miners dont fit tank?

Congrats btw on your superior pvp skills at killing someone not fitted or trained for pvp well done. ( golf clap )

YEA suuuree you did. LMAO 0/10. When you embarrass yourself like that why even try to recover? Just man up and admit you were wrong.

I didn't say 5. I said "every miner I have ever killed". That number is considerably more than 5 in my case.

Thanks! I've always been proud of my stalking and hunting skills. Sneaking into the system under the guns of Concord, stalking my (un)wary prey, and waiting til the precise moment to pounce!

Also, I don't consider it leet to kill miners. I do consider it fun however.

Or was it your intent to suggest that they should be immune to my attacks because they have made the conscious choice not to defend themselves?



Seriously, look at your post. You spelled it wrong. Blatantly, obviously, childishly wrong. For real.

Besides, most miners who are popped are AFK and I know this for a fact.

Makes for more and better marketing opportunities for myself and not them. They are the lazy ones with no honor for their own profession at all.

Yup yup yup. When a bumbler like me can gank successfully, you *know* they're asleep at the switch.


On those rare occasions when I dust off my mining alt, I don't tank. Deliberately. The cost of replacement hulls is considered in the profit-loss calculation - cheaper fits mean less loss, more profit. Of course, I almost never get ganked whilst mining, either, because I'm not asleep at the switch.

Let me say that again:

"Not asleep at the switch."

THAT^^ is your number-one defense against being ganked - alert, aware of who is in local (and what their KB says about them!), moving at all times with turn points and multiple safes in all directions, and checking intelligence. THAT is how you mine without getting bored OR ganked - by being engaged, and continually checking the surroundings.

I'll grant that it's work, but who's afraid of a little work, eh?

I'm tanked when mining but also not exactly nerfing my yield.

I am not here to teach you reading comprehension. Go back and read what was written and try to decipher for yourself. My main point was some people here want to act like all miners donGÇÖt tank and all are care bears. They are not all care bears and plenty do tank. The other point was it doesnGÇÖt matter what you tank or how you fit if they want to kill you they will.

Your problem like many forum trolls is you want to get hung up on arguing over stupid little things like spelling gramer and numbers. Thats how and why you always seem to miss the point.

This isnt grad school. Its a forum for a game.

I did spend about 15 minutes one day on Eve Kill looking at exhumer kills, looking at one non-existent tank after another, and that's enough time to get a fair sample, but I just had to stop.

It was genuinely depressing. Like, not even attempts to try. Some even had warp scramblers fit, and I'm not kidding.

But warp scrams..?! That's embarassing.

In over 3 years of Ice Mining I have yet to ever see a Freighter in an Ice Belt.....and I'm not kidding.

Did you mean grade school or actually grad school? Granted, the petty and vindictive aspects come out in both, but in grad school it's mostly in the form of embittered teachers fishing for tenure (or "favors" from female students).

Ok, how about we apply this some.

"All miners don't tank". Fair enough, some of them do. But, "all miners who don't tank are carebears" is a perfectly fair assertion.

Alrighty, whether you fit a tank or not, if someone is determined to kill specifically you, they will do it. 2+ people > 1 person.

Is there a problem there? Are you suggesting this should not be the case? Or perhaps that it's a good excuse for not fitting a tank? What are you actually trying to say?

Nope my problem is poeple trying to use phrases like ALL miners are....or ALL miners dont...... or if you tank you wont die. These are false statements.

I am always glad when someone tells me what my own words mean. The number was thrown out there wasnGÇÖt meant to be a specific number but as a arbitray number. It could have just as easily been 50 60 80 or 100.

You forum trolls always want to argue SymantecGÇÖs. Please carry on.

I'm not saying that many miners don't give much thought to survival, but your data is skewed in that you don't see the ones that were tanked in killboards. Because they didn't get blown up. Of course you are only going to find the losers that are easy kills.
