I don't hate miners. I was one myself and I have many miner friends that I respect. Eve is a sandbox there are not ways of playing it more legit than others. We can argue about certain aspects on how to optimize particular ways of playing to maximize the benefits for example.

Don't want them out, murdered or anything but I think that mining makes new people stuck themselves and missing a huge part of the game which is sad.

I think that Eve is a living thing and I want that you have to be there to max the benefits. What's the point in having 20 accounts to play the game without playing the game. Socialize? I'm a diplomat, politics is what I do. Docked or using external programs.

Do you want to mine while you are not there? For hours just because it is a very poor way of making Isk?

I'd rather improve the benefits per hour while making it less likely to be the Paradise of betting.

I haven't said anything about mini games though.

Eve needs to start making sure that risk Vs benefit becomes true.

Basically everything that can be trivially escalated horizontally has to be reworked. Banning broadcasting in ISBoxer was the best thing ever.

Do you want to mine AFK? Ok, so be it but if you mine and pay attention, you should get rewarded accordingly.

Most newbie miners, according to my experience in multiple helping channels and so on, mine because they know nothing else and they think that mining is a good way to make ISK. It actually isn't. I don't want to get rid of miners, again. I want that newbros aren't stuck in mining since their first day because the game pushes you to do that. Mine if you like that. Stay docked if you like that. Its up to you. Your game, your choice.

Things that scalate horizontally that easily are the heaven for botters. And we must get rid of botters.

I think that risk vs reward and staying at the keyboard are important things for a ONLINE game. You are not part of the scenery. You are a player, alive and you should be there playing the game. Also, this doesn't mean that you should be forced to pay 150% of attention to mine like every second so you don't have even a second to type in chat. Between black and white there are many scales of grey.

Im saying I want an option in EVE for me to do to have minimal progression on days I otherwis wouldnt be able to play. Say Im told theres a major shipment coming through the airport, and Im stuck on an extra 6 hour shift, there goes my EVE time entirely for the day as i sit around an office typing up papers, but with mining, I can at least make a LITTLE isk while chatting with friends and doing business work, so I can afford a couple frigs for a weekend roam when im NOT at work.

most of the people who mine do it because they play during scenarios like this. EVE is supposed to offer a chocie for ALL play styles, mining is for the minimal interaction minimal profit playstyle, people who want to be logged in, undocked, at risk, but not required to pay 100% attention to the game just to proceed.

+1, excellent guy with excellent ideas

but thats not how supply and demand works, you either drastically nerf semi-passive mining's rate to the point its not worth doing so people will actually DO the active version, or you make the active version several magnitudes more "valuable", but since this is just grabbing resources, it will just increase the mineral influx, driving down all the prices, until the active version is at the same if not slightly above current, and the passive is no longer able to make any income whatsoever.

remember gun mining? that was basically the "pay attention and get more minerals than regular mining" option, CCP removed it because it ended up being a significant source of minerals, and a primary reason why mining was such ****** income then to begin with.
