... in a single player game?
this is a question mainly for miners - people who don't mine in a multiplayer one either i will take a no by default.
i'm just trying to work out if the miners WOULD mine in a single player game, and if not, why its different in EVE |

X3 is single player and has mining so yes they probably would. |

With the popularity of games such as farmville etc I would assume ppl would mine in a single player game. It's a grind and we humans are nothing short of masochists. |

In X3, it is possible to mod it so the mining won't take up my valuable time. Vote for Malcanis for CSM8

There's far worse games out there than solo mining in EVE. Games such as Garbage truck simulator.....you get to drive around in a garbage truck. That's it. |

Driving around in front is only for low level of GTS. At higher levels you get to ride on the back. The endgame at max level is riding IN the back. Hardcore gamers only. |

Don't forget Street Sweeper sim. I hear that if you reach the highest level, you get to use the ultimate upgrade. This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

If it was needed then yes. For example Mass Effect 2 and resource gathering.

Im a minor mining addict. I tend to do mining to produce ships, to sell, to buy plex, to run missions and incursions.
When mining i generally catch up with reading for uni and watch tv programs. Its an easy way to produce isk while not staring at the screen every minute (especially in high sec) |

No i only AFK mine to make money and build ships to use when im actually playing.
Its more satisfying to take out a ship mined and built by you. Its also slightly more disapointing when said ship (like my first orca) gets exploded because of your stupidity

No, but its not a single player game. If you took far cry 3 as an example, an entirely different type of game, i still spent a large amount of time gathering the resources required to do the crafting. In old school C&C games, i would go all out and build a massive infrastructure to gather raw resources as quick as i possibly could.

I just think some people out there are naturally inclined to gather resources style play, where as others are more inclined to go all out on an offensive style. With people in the middle |

In this game, due to its sandbox nature there is a vast number of both types, and as the other style is completely alien to the other we often get the more aggressive natured offensive style players complaining about how its wrong to do things the other way. You dont get many miners complaining that PVPs are just wrong!
Neither are right, neither are wrong and both need each other, offensive guys need them for new ships (or new ships to shoot at) and resource guys need them to make isk to produce resources faster and build bigger and better things) "Gathering resources" is something completely different than AFK mining. Still, some people feel that AFK mining is the way to go and want to change this game in order to AFK mine more safely and profitably. |

I dont agree with AFK mining 23/7 that's basically just botting, but without the program. Nor should it be made any safer than it is now. I posted in another topic about increasing the rats in belts (number and strength of, but keeping bounties same) to actually make it less safer. And if your not going to pay attention and fit your ship your liable to ganking, again something im happy with.
In short, AFK mining is fine to some extent, perhaps less people would do it afk if it was made more challenging, i certainly would. |

Mining early on really is the quickest and easiest to get some cashflow. It is boring as all hell, but not many ways you can make 5-6m an hour on your 2nd day in this game.
I've only had my 2nd day once though ... so perhaps I'm wrong. But I do not think so.
Perhaps exploration sites could do it if you skilled up quick enough and were actually able to find some signatures to scan down that ended up being Radar sites ( usually 7-20m each it seems ). |

Mining is a means to an end. I don't mine just for the sake of mining... I ether need isk or I want to build something. So yes as a means to an end I would be just as likley to mine in a purely solo game as I am to mine in eve.
However mining is much more fun in eve, what with the option of forming fleets and having to protect yourself from suicide attackers ect. |
