Just end it already. Let missions be the primary source of minerals, there's not a single one that you can't get from missions anyway!

As far as Ice mining goes, it's terrible, just seed the fuel on the market from NPC vendors.

Dumbass.

i love mining and yes i'm there at the key board while i mine.
i've done lvl 4 missions for a while in my navy domi but still prefer mining ,hauling or salvaging more than missions.
probably always will along with all the other rock hounds.

I think PVP needs to be removed personally.

Think of all the mining ops we can go on together, noone will ever get ganked in high-sec, low-sec OR 0.0.

It will be awesome to just mine ark in 0.0 together and we can all be friends forever.

I really think this idea has merit.

Post with your main or else whatever you say is irrelevant. Especially since you don't give any reasoning.

What a bad idea. Besides what does it matter just because you don't do it.

The only excuse you have for bringing this thread back to the front of GD (which I wasn't planning on touching again, I got my entertainment) is because you also want to see more rage.

Chribba is trolling now.

Actually didn't even know it was off-page since I just followed my notification mail here. My apologies for bringing it back to life.

If mining was not a profession, The Wis would not have been put in a situation where he could have lost his Mackinaw, thus becoming suicidal.

I DEMAND CCP removes mining so no one else may consider suicide as an alternative to grinding for a new mining barge!

Best solution is to remove mineral income from other sources.

That makes mining profitable business, and we will see mining fleets in 0.0 where afk pilots may get killed.

This would generate lot of more action for smaller groups to operate in 0.0 and lowsec, as miners, hunters who try to kill those and warriors who protect them.

This fits better to new wow in space ideology.

I won't rage about it but if you don't like/want to mine, there are plenty of other ways to make ISK.

I also support removal/nerfing the amount of minerals from reprocessing.

As it is now, it's much easier for us to get the minerals we need by flying out to lowsec, do some anoms and melt the loot than actually mining grav sites in our home system.

You dislike a portion of the game (mining).
Therefore, it should be removed.

I like a portion of the game (mining).
Therefore, it should stay in.

Which opinion is (more) valid?


p.s. And just so we're clear: no one ever goes afk or does other things while missioning. Ever.
