I find it amusing how people actually WANT eve to be a second job.

Like that dude with 8 miners and training for a titan. LOL?

It is not possible you are enjoying this game by running more than 2 accounts. You turned it into a job, admit it.

Obviously CCP benefits from this.

Ain't "resource rebalancing" great ?

Price of mins down, price of PLEX up, large chunks of the Phillipines all but wiped clean from the face of the Earth... where will it all end ?

The Four Housecats of the Apocalypse can not be far behind, amiright ?

Other than that, I'd suggest some PI... it's gonna be HAWT in Rubicon

I run 5 ishtars in null to the tune of 60-90m an hour depending on sites. All about what your willing to commit.

Plus side to that is all my esculations i sell for 50% of drops to continue ratting away.

Multibox mining is great, but I make more money manufacturing that I ever did in wormholes, null sec, or mining. The key is to have a good spreadsheet and to minimize risk. Building in stations instead of POS' etc. With the right things to be building you can make fantastic return on investment with very little risk. Plus your activities are very difficult to disrupt. In addition to that, it frees up a lot of game time to do other things while your build jobs chug away. You can use this time for whatever you want, mining for more income, pvp, exploration, missions, anything. If you have the characters I would suggest train them all up for manufacturing, slowly build up how much capital you have invested in jobs, the end goal is to be running 30 day jobs cycling once a week on different characters. That way once a week you put in an hour or two getting jobs started, and the rest of the week you are free to do whatever you want.

I don't get my fun out of Eve per say. I have done almost every aspect of it: WH, 0.0, low, highsec, incursions, manufacturing, mini professions, running my own corp, being an alliance director, spying (still do), ganking freighters, FCing, the list goes on. What I like about eve is the social aspect and the friends i have made.

I play eve for maybe 2 hours a day, being an IT Administrator for engineers (who are some of the dumbest people i have seen) i like the idea of coming home and doing something relaxing and still have my pvp toon for when i want to kick ass.

What I looked at before i got all my toons is keeping them active and the most passive way to do it. fortunately i have billion of isk on the market (somewhere in the 100 mark) so i don't need to worry, tons of passive income. So Mining was just something to do on the side. What these characters now are doing is training for dreadnoughts. 11 Revelations (no need to worry about ammo) or ~100,000 DPS. they are also bomber, oracle, smart-bombing battleship, guardian, and freighter capable. Eventually I will get them into nidhoggers too and use them as triage things. Since I know people dont like doing them and my 11 guys would do a much better job.

Now out of everything I have done in the game I look at the game differently. granted i am not up to date in all the latest things everywhere, but having the experience I can say the mining profession needs a serious overhaul and anyone who disagrees is a troll or a person who will make this game collapse if they manage to somehow sway CCP.
