Small volume high value veins that need active moving around rocks, scanning and luck, thus hands-on.
Limited amount of those means competition through extinction pressure.

You are suggesting mining anoms as a new exploration activity ?

Curious. May actually work.

I wish that making isk from mining was as lucrative as ratting. Doubt it will ever happen though.


I guarantee it never will.
NPCs pay bounties, players buy minerals and they need an income to pay for those minerals. Mining missions need A LOT of love before mining becomes a faucet.

Because of reprocessing loot stuff.

This can bring billions of minerals so the ore from mining is less neccesary, thus prices drop.

If CCP changed loot stuff, for example just spawn T2 items or rare expensive items, or just meta4 stuff that is a waste to reprocess...

Didn't reprocessing already get a boot to the nuts in the last few months?

Yeah, it was nerfed. Among other reasons, preventing this form of gunmining was one consideration...

Not that it was PARTICULARLY major in the first place, though (modules I mean)

Because high sec has too much of the different ores.

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

I don't think mining will ever be more complicated than it currently is. It needs to be doable by people who run 30 character operations on their own. They make good money and are probably part of the reason why mining is a bad way to make ISK for everyone else.

Prime Arkonor is the rarest of the rare; the king of ores. Giving a 10% greater mineral yield than regular ark, this is the stuff that makes billionaires out of people lucky enough to stumble upon a vein.

The rarest and most sought-after ore in the known universe. A sizable nugget of this can sweep anyone from rags to riches in no time.
