Mining roids is a very sci-fi thing and featured in countless sci-fi novels. Pity that in what is the ultimate sci-fi game people get so mad about it that they emorage with veins throbbing and eyes bulging. If you hate it so much, don't mine. 
This is my signature. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.  Without me, my signature is useless. Without my signature, I am useless

CCP won't take this serious so it's forum fluff.

Adding to the fluff, all the things that made mining an effort got nuked out of the game because they were too profitable and the null bears wanted all the cookies. Mining isn't an issue. Bots are. They were ignored at first because when EVE had 10K login in it was in issue to expect half of those people to be bong shotting rocks. For any number of reasons people in numbers will mine ATK now.

I'd be quite content to go to a secluded .5 sec with no outpost, set up a POS and mine my ores, move them to my POS, ship them out to be refined and.. well, play EVE. I can't make it profit though and between griefers pretending they hate botting, targeting anything in a belt and bots, I can't be bothered.

Maybe some day you will find my POS in that secluded .5 and me in a Hulk and a Bestower mining away. Say something in local, I will reply. We can have a little chat and then you can go find a bot to kill.

Mining is working as intended.

Aside from the fact that I am a pro-miner, enjoy it and yes that comes from a Goon....

...it's an entry level way to make ISK in the game

...it's fun to do in groups for corporate ISK making

...it has a risk / reward incentive that will be balanced when the drone poo nerf comes in

...mining creates PVP opportunities in both null sec and empire

In a nutshell... -1

Posting to confirm the OP is a complete tool.

EVERYONE has a miner inside them, hidden away.

Post with your main or else whatever you say is irrelevant. Especially since you don't give any reasoning.


In CCP's eyes, we're all irrelevant, alt and mains alike.

I'm sorry, are you playing a game or waiting for a code to finish executing? I'm pretty sure it's just the latter. Ergo, your point is invalid because you're not playing a game.



Seriously? Are you THAT stupid. If you are looking at it that way, EVERY 'game' is just 'waiting for a code to finish executing (oh, and it would be phrased 'waiting for code to finish executing'). And the mining just gets me to where I can make stuff when I DO have more time to play the game. My point is not invalid, you are just too stupid to understand. Stupidity does not negate reality.

You just don't want to have to work for your PvP, or whatever. Go play WoW, loser.

As much as I hate mining, it needs to be improved rather than removed.

Mining is too critical to the economy to be completely removed.

Your point is still invalid because now you've started raging.

I've played WoW. Got boring after level 80 so I quit. Does that make you hate me more?

I like mining.

I like many other things about EvE too, though.

I wish mining was more exciting, sometimes, but other times there is serene relaxation to be had just sitting back and letting the lasers hum, kicking out the mining drones, and just soaking up rocks (and beer).

Don't you guys have crazy stressful jobs you need to relax to recover from too? Mining in EvE is just about perfect for that very thing.

FFS just end it already. Nobody likes mining. No, not even you who is about to rage about removing it, since I already know that the second you start mining in your hulk up in high sec, you go afk so that you can do something else while you "play the game" waiting for lasers to cycle.

Just end it already. Let missions be the primary source of minerals, there's not a single one that you can't get from missions anyway!

As far as Ice mining goes, it's terrible, just seed the fuel on the market from NPC vendors.

/thread


Noobs...

Missions provide variable minerals in variable quantities resulting in highly inefficient resource gathering. Further, the increase in the market activity to source large volumes of minerals (if mining didn't exist) would spike the velocity of money and send inflation to rates that are unsustainable.

You're proposing to destabilize one of the most distinguishing things about EVE; it's economy. Roll

I don't know about him, but it sure makes me give you a 10/10 for trolling while acting like you actually believe what you said. You must have been a politician in a prior life somewhere.

Addendum:

No, this is not my alt. This is my main as none of my characters are in player corps at the moment.

Listen up, idiot, I am not raging. I am disgusted at idiots who try to change things to THEIR way without thinking about others because they are too damn selfish! I am sick of the selfish asshats in this world. BUT, even if I was raging, that does not make a point invalid. You are just trying to say that I am raging so you don't have to come up with any kind of intellectual counterpoint cause YOU HAVE NONE! You are a selfish, pathetic, loossseeerrr! And no, playing WoW does not make me hate you more. I played WoW too. But since you can't seem to comprehend the point I was making (or, more likely, choose not to so you can use an unsubstantiated claim to make a worthless point on your part) let me clarify. WoW is for simpletons that want everything handed to them. Sounds more like your type of game, since that is what you are trying to make Eve. WoW was 'boring' because everything is handed to you and now you wanna make Eve that way also. Again.. idiot!
