Mineral prices are too low. As a miner the profits are none existent especially with the rampant inflation in game.

Maybe decrease ore yields to slash supply and increase prices? Just saying.

You're right, it's the game's fault, change the game.

Also mineral prices are quite high right now and there are plenty existence for profits.

Just saying.

+1 for understanding the market enough not ask for increased yields. Since that's what I was expecting when I saw the post.

Right. Stop mining. Shoot mining ships.

More subsidies for Hulkageddon! Specifically, those subsidies should come from the 10% NPC corp tax, because we need to be revenue neutral in order to keep the budget under control!

Miners demand an end to the only threat they face.

CCP stops gankers.

Miners whine ore prices are falling.


We told you this would happen.

Real funny, beause I made lots of profits off mining last week. I intend to make even more this week.

I'm a nerd, you can check my stats!! Skilling Int/Mem at 45 sp per minute is how I mack!     I'm like a lapdog, all bark no bite.

Weird. Trit has buy orders up for 5.55 at the low end and I'm not near a hub. When I started, not even a year ago, trit was at 3isk and change.

Eve Central had it listed at 6isk last night when I was looking at it.

Maybe you should just be able to mine the isk right into your wallet and bypass the mineral stage to bring true balance?

When I see "Asteroid (ISK)" on my overview I might start mining myself... Smile

I miss the days of 26 Million ISK Hurricanes and 75 Million ISK Apocs and if we also have to return to the days of bitchy Miners to get there then so be it.
