Plex prices went up, mineral prices went down. It takes now - for a miner - even more time to mine his plex than ever before in the last couple of years.

The CSM election is boring.

The CSM minutes still weren't published.

The blue donut is almost finished (I know Goons vs. Pandemic+N2 is still going, but if the goons really wanted to, they could take Pandemic space too.), with Hero falling apart.

-

The only good thing that happened in the last 2 years of Eve is that Erotica1 got banned.


-

Overall I'm bored with EVE, I gave my stuff already away, I only have 1 rertiever left.

-

I really tried to like this game. o/

Call me if Mining is worthwile again.

Really, hunting red crosses with a really stupid AI is fun?

Flying in large bands of 30+ and shooting everything that comes your way is fun?

Mining is pretty much done solely by bots or ISboxer now. Ore prices will remain rock bottom as long as CCP promotes the use of bots and isboxer.

The CSM Minutes were publish.

Goons backed out of the war and N3 is pushing back.

Hero isn't in trouble.

Apparently someone is stuck in high sec if they think that Ero getting banned is the only exciting thing that happened.

This next expansion is going to be focus around industry, even with mining barge buffs/nerfs.




Also Pew Pew doesn't involved red crosses, you can shoot other people for fun you know?

No, and no. Warping your solo T1 cruiser into 2 enemy cruisers, killing them both, and warping out with 15% structure remaining, is fun.

i wonder how will the reprocessing mechanics will pan out, i guess either minerals become more expensive or the market is so oversaturated that we wont see any change, and mining will get its income reduced......

At max boost, with skills, and 3% implant, a skiff will pull about 35Mil an hour in high sec on white glaze (Caldari space). 2 hours a day for 10 days and theres your plex. (Assuming a 700mil price in jita.) Mine enough to grab yourself a plex while watching tv or something. When you're done, go play another part of the game and enjoy it. Mining is slow and boring for solo's or small gangs, but it gets the bills paid with only a little interaction.

Fly a skiff and tell the gankers to eat sh!t and die while you're at it. Twisted

Why, what great thing happened in EVE the last 2 years?

If you think about "Burn Jita" that happened a while before.

Well the current industry user interface is FUBAR. Even if they fix it that it will be easier and more user frinedly to use, I wouldn't call that "improving gameplay", but rather fixing some annoying user interface bugs.

Really, it is like having fun with your buddies in the real world, but instead you are shooting little red crosses?

How much is that without boost, with not perfect timing?

Like 20m per hour?
If mineral prices keep falling it will be 15m per hour

Yes you have to train a few skills to get your yield up to normal. Exhumers 5 doesn't take that long. Theres so many orcas about, that there's no reason to mine without fleet bonuses. Throw a "hi, can i please have some boosts?" in local in any ice belt, and you'll normally get picked up unless you look like an a-hole.

Expect mineral prices to skyrocket after the summer expansion due to scrap metal re-processing & loot drop re-processing nerf'ed down to almost nothing. i would estimate Trit could go up at about 40%-50% from today's current jita price.

I see what OPs problem is and why he is bored with Eve.



Have you tried NOT mining?

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?
