Player Features and Ideas Discussion

so, basically, anyone who isnt available to have their face focused on just one screen doing the same repetitive task thousands of times a day should just not log on to EVE at all?

Sorry, but I have a day job. "minigames" stop being games when your forced to do them thousands of times, if we wanted minigames wed all be playing candy crush, not EVE.

and whats so bad about having ONE playstyle that allowed someone to play while at work, or doing school things on a second monitor, mining is semi-active playstyle for people whod rather focus on other work or chat or mumble or whatever, people who for more reasons than just multi-boxing cant devote that much attention to the game.

You want to take that away in favor of something that can ONLY be described as boring and repetitive monkey-work. This wont suddenly make people flock to mining as a "fun profession" it doesnt solve the "boring" gameplay you claim to want to fix. all it does is require people to exponentially increase the number of clicks and dedicated time on screen required for the same result, in a profession that doesnt make that much comparitively to begin with. This would drive away ALOT of people, not just multiboxing accounts, but actual people, from mining, and for many of them EVE as a whole.


TL;DR leave mining alone, it serves its gameplay purpose, if you want a more active playstyle, they exist, there are THOUSANDS of them.

(and like stated above, minigames like hacking suck because the less i can see of the screen for situational awareness, the less desire i have to make the risk, because i literally cant SEE any windows im reliant on to even know if im alone in the system let alone if they arer approaching on the d-scan i also cant see)

You could turn off auto repeat on mining lasers and accomplish nearly the same goal only it would be slightly less annoying.
