Hmm. Your comments are at best ill-informed and at worst troll-like but I shall reply briefly.

If you are unemployed you probably have some time to play EVE properly rather than try to afk it so I suggest maybe you try that. Ore amounts in high sec belts have not been reduced or nerfed and are unlikely to be reduced at least not in the short to medium term. I presume you are mining in 0.9 systems or something maybe where the other afkers all hang out. Move to slightly lower sec systems such as 0.6 or 0.5 and you will find veldspar rocks up to and over 100,000 units. Not that veldspar is the best rock to mine but whatever floats your boat.

Feel free to quit if you like.

Whatever you do, make sure you find out who the local ass-hattery barge suicide alts are and set them red. Also, don't AFK mine anywhere.

Asteroid sizes have not been nerfed. The sizes of highsec asteroids and belts hasn't changed in who knows how long, certainly not recently.

If an asteroid has been mined to nothing then at next DT it respawns small. If it doesn't get mined at all, then it grows at DT the next day. Someone said it takes 3 days of not being mined for an asteroid to get back to max size. Hence if you're stripping the same belt every day, you will get small rocks, it's been like that for years.

If you are complaining about a video game, which you can't afford, not being fun for you while you are unemployed...sounds like you need to look at your priorities in life. Seriously, they are just pixels on a computer.

You should probably set your priorities straight if you're unemployed and are home playing video games. Contribute to society so my tax dollars don't go to waste.

First of all money is just debt, and each day we spend in debt all of our taxes are being wasted, we're in so much debt that it would take our nations entire gdp for 100 years to pay it back, money paper currency is literally worthless.

You don't buy plex with cash.

You want ccp to make it easier for you to play for free.

Your buying of plex for isk to sub the accounts makes plex cost more for the rest of us.

Many of employed players only have one account but you want to have 2 at no cost.

You pay nothing to ccp so you are not what they would consider a valued customer.

Your fix it or I quit is a big joke. Stupid or trolling seems to be the only case.

I try not to come off to mean most of the time but this is some seriously ***** for the purpose of bitching thread.

Just delete your account and realize that no skill is undervalued compared to any other, Your skill is worth what other people will pay and not a cent more.

You could make a case for the entire work force is under valued due to money making too much money devaluing labor as a whole. (( But that is best case ))

You want to play afk on top of all this.

In before political posts & ultimate user banning for spreading left/right wing ideas.

Under the presumption that you like mining, why not do mining missions? At level 4, you're picking up 2k-4k LP and 2-4M isk per mission. Every 16 gets you a storyline mission, and I've gotten a lot of Shipyard Theft for storyline missions (you have a chance at a mindlink implant and they sell for 100M to over 1B for the mining one). You can then get your corp standing to where you can put up towers in high sec. Perhaps you'd also like to go into business selling corporations with standings to place towers. 2 sample threads from page 1 of the sell orders forum are 1, 2. I don't know how large this business is, but that looks like it could bring in half a plex per month per character.

Under the presumption that you want to mine and do only mining, there are a lot of systems out in the ass end of space where no one goes. Or there are too many belts for plagues of locusts to deplete. My previous corp used to hang out in Yarebap and Finid. Those 2 systems have 50 asteroid belts between them. There were lots of Russians during the day, but even peak East European time had less people in local than there were belts in system. Other parts of space that were pretty empty last year (things may have changed) include Ivih and Semosh out in Tash-Murkon: far from the markets and one of the systems lacks stations.

My experience is that systems with no stations tend to have much larger asteroid belts than systems with stations. Every time I pass through Keberz, it is full of ore sites and I'm the only one in local. Highsec, adjacent to null, has no stations.

Which systems do you mine AFK in again ?
