EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

Pity he failed Marty's name in the description though.
Other than that, video seems like a waste of the 30 seconds I spent half-watching it.

Since you specifcally mention the "effort : reward ratio"..
Seeing how mining is almost zero effort, I don't really see your argument there.

Also, "reward" is not a very clear term either. For someone needing quick ISK and a lot of it, mining might not be very rewarding, but for someone just wanting to chill out a bit, chat with ally mates, planning skills/fits/events/..., watching some series etc., its quite a rewarding activity.

If I mission, I usually fly L3 atm, one task takes me about 30 mins to finish (not rushing here either), afterwards I'm about 3 mil (+ LP, salvage stuff and named mods I kept) richer. Missions aren't much more challanging than mining, but require more attention. So, instead of doing mining and a lot of other stuff at once, I'm mostly just missioning.

Basically, if you mine, your reward is ISK and having a good time while when missioning, your reward is only ISK (+standings/LP).

So, for me, mining is less effort and more reward than missioning.

I think it's a bit premature to define effort:reward as simple as time:ISK, especially in a sandbox such as Eve, where there are so many goals and playstyles.

(Incursions and PvP are a different matter entirely (for me), but that'd be OT now^^)

I have two screens, I can play another game, post on the forums, browse, et cetera while mining.
