I am quite new in the world of eve.

I think it would be cool if you could see how much you have mined a specific mineral with a specific ship and so on.

Or even how much i have mined of some specific minerals.

I don't know if this is possible to do but nevertheless it would be quite cool since i love stats.

Anyone else thinks this is a good idea ?

So you want a kind of killboard for mining barges?
As someone who mines I gotta say I have zero interest in something like this. If you want to know how much you've mined just look in your cargohold/hanger, that's what I generally do P.
Yes I know you want to be able see what you have mined over the lifetime of the ship, but honestly if you're that interested in stats open up notepad and start writing down figures Big smile.

Why so anti ? It wouldn't hurt anyone ?

Of course it might take some of the ccp servers load but that I do not know how much.

I think it would be nice especially for us miners who usually just sit around and mine and don't have much else to do than to look at boring stats and cycles lol.

I assume by that you mean why do I not agree with you. Well I think it would be a completely useless stat and a waste of dev time. You say it won't hurt anyone, well it won't benefit anyone either. I just don't see the point in having this added to the game.

If you're that bored of mining then maybe mining isn't for you and just how interesting or exciting do you imagine these stats to be? Just trying to be honest here.

No i like mining because i can do other things while doing it like watch a movie or whatever.

I still feel you are replying just to reply more than coming up with anything constructive, you dislike the idea but have nothing against it or know that it would hurt anyone.

Stats are a part of most games, and these type of stats would be a fun addition and a motivational tool at least for me.

Look you asked if anyone else thought it was a good idea, I gave my opinion. AND my reasons why, if you choose to ignore them thats your prerogative. I didn't realise when you said "Anyone else thinks this is a good idea ?" that it meant STFU and GFTO if you don't agree with me.

And you say you enjoy mining...I'd hardly call watching a movie while you AFK mine as mining, I'd say you enjoy watching movies.

I feel dev time could be better spent on other more important things and if time is wasted on such a pointless feature then yes it would be "harmful" to the game. As other features/balances would get less dev love.

You seem fairly set that this won't hurt anyone, but please can you tell me how it would be beneficial? How will it entice more people to start or stick with mining as a profession? People mine for a reason, they want to build things for sale or personal use. Or just to straight up sell the ore for isk. I don't see people saying oh I want to keep mining until I break the 1 billion tritanium mined mark (well maybe Chribba....).

Yes, we needz mining killmailz and mining killboardz. X

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

As I said its a part of many other games to have extensive statistics. It brings another aspect to the game, some like it some don't.

Now as for you being so gung ho on being against it so be it but you are clearly arguing just for the sake of arguing and not anything else.

As for devs well i guess they want to make the game bigger and better and I feel some more statistics would not hurt the game just make it more interesting.

Yeah because your not getting super defensive as if I just insulted your mother at Christmas dinner or anything like that at all. I feel your taking me opposing your idea a little too personal.

I would hardly say I'm being gung ho about anything, you asked for opinions, I gave mine and you clearly didn't like it.
You ignored my reasons as to why serveral times (probably still are). I really don't see how I could even be excused of being gung ho about it if I'm just replying to your posts. And lets be honest here, if I didn't reply to this thread it probably wouldn't have gotten any replies at all.

If I am clearly just arguing for the sake of arguing why would I have bothered to back up my posts with valid reasons? Something you have yet to achieve. And sorry but "it'll be fun" and "but other games do it" don't even qualify as half-ass responses. Pretty much everyone who plays EvE play it because its not other games.

Sseeing as this "discussion" will probably just result in you using another one of your recycled responses, yet again, I shall wash my hands of this cancer and end my posting on this thread with simply....Your idea is bad and you shoiuld feel bad.....

What are you a woman in her climacterium ?

Wash your hands all you want and I do not feel bad the slightest for asking to get stats on mining.
