you're welcome

Depends on your perspective. As a regular mission runner (among other things), I rather enjoyed all those T1/Meta-0 drops from mission rats. Passed it over to my buddy to be reprocessed, who then passed the mats to another guy who made us ships/mods/ammo.

We could do this without ever needing to see an asteroid belt.

I wouldn't go as far as to say I outdid hulks, much less three, but it was certainly a respectable amount. More than enough for our purposes.

As to why anyone would train to be a miner. Easy. Because when you graduate to mining in low- or null-sec, you'll make more isk/hour than any mission runner possibly could.

Can't say I agree with the conclusion, but I do think that the state of the market will hurt some more than others.

i agree

the fact I can buy and sell blueprint toon about eight million times should permit me to blanket eveo with 8 million of my posts every time it opens its stupid mouth

That would make it too easy to simply "afk content".

Recall, the minerals you mine are free (right~) so CCP has to get their pound of flesh elsewhere, ie: making you drag stacks of ore to your orca every 3 minutes.

I would love, however, fighter-miners only useable by Supercarriers (mining fit, of course). Yeah, currently the miners exist a lot/mostly in highsec...

Or you could think like an economist and realise that increasing production will only reduce prices further. If you don't take loot away from NPCs (drone poo included), increasing the production of mining will simply make life worse for miners, because they will have to mine more in order to make the same income.

A proper capitalist would pick the industry that generates the most profits, rather than engaging in socialist thinking and demanding better income from whatever industry they've chosen to engage in. The fact that you cannot even grasp the simple concept of the impact of supply on price, and then further confuse the viewpoints of capitalism and socialism, suggests that you have a lot to learn about this topic before you consider posting again.

Capitalism: pick an industry to make a profit from, invest in the capital to participate in that industry, then drive the workers' wages down to control costs while continuing to service your production capital. This has been the definition of Capitalism since the term was defined by Karl Marx.

If CCP were taking a "Socialist" approach, they wouldn't be removing loot from NPCs, they'd be making sure that the loot gets delivered to miners to refine.

The fact that Karl Marx hated the effects of capitalism on the proletariat (the peopple that do not own production forces) does not derail from the fact that Karl Marx did make one of the best analyses of the workings of capitalism up until now.
The problem with Political Marxism is that it ignores the notion that human beeings are a selfish lot.

p.s. Libelarism means that a human should have the liberty to act as he or she pleases, culturally politically and economically. the economic system that belongs to liberalism is capitalism.

p.p.s I know that liberalism currently means something else in the united states, but the language of this forum is English and not American :P

"Libertarianism" is the word better used in the US, or laissez-faire. They are closer to the traditional European use of "liberal". A number of Americans may disagree, but this is mainly due to the fact that Libertarianisim is a subset of the republican party, and both the democrats and the neo-cons and moral majority boobs (who were democrats until the late 50s and early 70s), want to make it a dirty word.
