EVE General Discussion

Why - if it is a profession of EVE does CCP do nothing but neglect it and allow miners in EVE to become the brunt of hate. If it weren't for players willing to sit and perform what many consider the most boring aspect ever conceived in a game - this game wouldn't exist. Ore is everything in this game. It is used to make all the ships that people just feel the need to constantly destroy.

The last real effort CCP made to mining was when they introduced hulks and that was 6 years ago! Six years and mining has seen little to no changes since then.

Miners of EVE are the joke of the game. Isn't it time for CCP to either just remove that aspect from the game or fix it? When will the mining profession become a viable and as important of a profession as grief ganking seems to have become?

I just mine wrecks now instead of roids.

Miners deserve your hate. Embrace it.

Miners are a large part of hate? What?

CP just massively buffed mining. Mining income has literally doubled in the last 2 months. That's probably the single largest buff any profession has recieved since at least 2006.

OP is a miner, is terrible at it, and is the brunt of other player's hate for whining.

Just guess but for the most part mining isn't broke, and has worked well or the players made it work.

Also those who complain the loudest get the most changes.
And well there is no denying the loudest cry babies in the game by far are the PvP crowd.
What was it last year people were throwing a tantrum and quitting cause they didn't get a PvP aspect of the game changed.

So changes to mining may come eventually but as CCP isn't being threatened, when they come, 9 out of 10 they will most likely be good changes and won't need to get reworked every year like the PvP side.

Perhaps you shouldn't build houses over existing roads then.

Just as you shouldn't use the most expensive mining vessel avaiilable to AFK mine, with the most vulnerable fittings possible, in congested area's where it is difficult to see hostiles entering system with you.

Maybe the problem isn't mining...maybe multiboxing is the problem.
Many miners multibox a small armada of mining alts- that's why they don't want mining to be more interactive and less boring.
Without multiboxing, we could have an actually enjoyable mining system. Even if CCP didn't change a thing, many miners would actually enjoy watching local + Dscan to avoid ganks, because that would keep them busy.
Without multiboxing, there would be no more falcon alts, no offgrid booster alts, no war-immune npc corp freighter alts....New Eden would be the new Utopia.

Because the null ppl need someone to beat on when they get bored in null
