Oh, I have plans. Soon as I can be bothered to, I'm moving my ice mining kit.

Not like I ever mine ice for profit anyway. Even veldspar's worth more. Only mine the stuff for alliance PoS fuel anyway.

I had The Old Republic reserved LONG before goons started their ice shenanigans.

I'm sorry Skunk Sad I'm sure there will be ice miners for you do wreck up.

And, no, previous poster. I have already given my character away too, thus why I am posting with an alt.

If veldspar is worth more why not mine veldspar, sell veldspar and then buy a greater amount of ice products than you would have gotten from mining it directly?

Why is this so difficult for so many people?

I won't even get started on choosing another type of activity, if you enjoy mining but at least do the most profitable venture you can with your skills, don't relegate yourself to grunt work. You can do slightly more profitable grunt work and then buy the stuff from the less profitable grunts mining ice with your more profitable stuff.

YOU are obviously missing SOMETHING that makes this assumption fail.


it could possibly be:
not @ his local market
or
his time traveling to sell the veld + return with ice isnt worth i
or
he has both belts easily available in 1 system, factor the time saved doing it himself
or
he has no JF or Freighter
or
its too dangerous to travel to sell his loot
or
blah
blah
blah



moar assumptions plz, i love reading them.

1. not @ his local market
- Unlikely a major problem in comparison to the profit difference

2. his time traveling to sell the veld + return with ice isnt worth it
- Veld was just an example how about do something really productive, like not mine?

3. he has both belts easily available in 1 system, factor the time saved doing it himself
- See 1

4. he has no JF or Freighter
- There are corps that haul for you for decent prices.

5. its too dangerous to travel to sell his loot
- Same as above.
