This thread half makes me wanna laugh, half makes me wanna cry.
Its good testament to how poorly people behave when can they hide behind anonymity and 0 chance of meaningful retaliation. If some of you actually went outside into the real world, you'd realise you'd get the sh** beaten out of you in real life for acting or talking the way you do here.
Its strange how eve attracts a much older and more mature audience than other games, and has generally a better player population, and yet still attracts so many rude pathetic little scroats as well.
I love how "noob" is such a harsh insult for some, as if being crap at an internet spaceship game is the worst thing possible - as opposed to being a shut-in living in their parents basement, playing a game all day trying to inflict as much hurt on others because of their pathetic existance, just trying to drag others down or try and have some sort of effect on someone or something.
I'm not talking about pirates / pvpers / people that are bastards in-game, just the rude little toads who come here or play eve because they're own lives are lacking. I cannot imagine how f***ed some of their lives must be if they need to be such rude abnoxious worms. Seriously boys and girls, go outside, take a deep breath. Repeat after me, being a t*** to people in a game or over the internet does not make up for your sorry little life. Sort it out, and you won't feel the need to behave like a worthless bitter little scroat.
In response the the OP, I think people don't understand the fact eve needs miners, traders, manufacturers etc to actually work. Unless everything became totally NPC provided (halving the compexity and depth of the game) no one would pew pew because everything would cost so much. Supply and demand means that if all the miners left, their ships and modules would cost 10x as much, and when they did manage to purchase something, they wouldn't be able to find anyone to shoot with it because everyone would be so afraid to put their ships in harms way. The people doing the legwork, such as mining, facilitate the pvp environment.
Less miners, manufacturers, missions runners = less pew pew
Also I think a lot of people fail to see the difference between macro miners (who's harm to the game is overstated I feel, they are more an annoyance, unless someone with ecnomoics knowledge can maybe explain otherwise I have an open mind about this one) and normal players that mine. Also people for some reason seem to dislike others whos playstyle is different to their own, funny since they are probably the sort of players that would least enjoy the game is it was entirely populated by others like them. One of the joys of the game is the fact there are so many different approaches and playstyles that are viable.
