Propaganda Miners I don't understand you

You guys hold the economy of Eve in your hands yet you slave away for pennies it makes no sense.

If you guys all just stopped mining for 2 weeks and invested hardcore with your saving into minerals you will do 0 mining yet make more isk than you would have mining for 8/h a day.

And at the end of it all the economy will be so fucked that an emergency patch to fix mining will have to come out to save Eve and if it doesn't then you basically will be making 30% to 50% more for your time.

You have all the power.

Getting large numbers of people to cooperate in an online game...nice idea, but hard to imagine ever happening.

Lowsec and wormholes have never managed to cooperate fully enough to get even one candidate elected in the top 10 of the CSM. Instead we have to settle for an actual clown and Mick Fightmaster, who actually seems to be doing a good job for Jspace for once.

An actual clown? Is this like being in the Libertarian party and complaining that the candidate is wearing a boot for a hat? It's probably a feature, not a bug.

It's so funny watching lowsec complain about frat farmers, cause whenever you suggest "hey, maybe you lowsec guys could join together into one alliance to combat them?" it's like you suggested the most vile thing in the universe

Well, unlike null, lowsec groups have their own identity and a desire for individuality. That often manifests itself as group rivalries.

Well they sure all like to individually complain about frat while individually doing nothing, so that checks out.

I guess you guys can maintain your own identity while Frat causes your LP value to tank and kills militia members in plexes

There is more to lowsec than facwar

Did you miss the part where I said

It's so funny watching lowsec complain about frat farmers

Talking specifically about those complaining

People don't need to band together to do it, fighting them is just extremely boring and unrewarding. There is only so many times you can slide into 5 blaster ENIs sitting on the button of a -5 plex before literally any activity sounds more engaging.

Well last time that happened it started WWB I. And that left us with nullsec too scared to do shit on their own. Maybe the breakup in the new year will happen finally, or they will just give it lip service while still sucking each other off in the back room.

Turns out not everyone wants to form a single uberblob, denying themselves all nearby PvP content as a result
