How can anybody in their right mind like mining?
Am I missing something?
Tried to get cloaking skillbok ISK by mining, taking forever.
How can that book be 3 500 000 ISK? Could buy the original Guthenberg Bible for less.

There are 86,400 seconds in a day. You just saved one of them by typing 'u' instead of 'you'.-á Congratulations, dumbass!

No. Mining is for lazy non-efforts, alts and for the select people who actually really enjoy the whole process of gathering materials and production. That and a few people who do this while busy irl, make a few bucks while afk. But the majority are just non-efforts who will, of course, never own up to it.
If you're a living, breathing person with brain activity then just don't mine.

people like mining because its something they can do semi-afk.
For example right now I don't really feel like actively flying or doing anything more complicated than browsing the forums, posting on facebook etc. so I've got a basic mining character logged in sitting in a belt that I alt tab back too every minute or so just to check in on. (yes I know having a second monitor works better for that, but I don't have one at the moment)
no its not great ISK, but its more isk than I'd be making just ship spinning and takes about the same level of focus.
If you want to specialize there is some pretty good ISK to be made out in 0.0 and WH space with proper fleet support, but that can be more dangerous and requires appreciably more focus and concentration... wanna make some quick isk for that cloaking book, AND not be quite as bored mining. take your venture out into w-space. you will get much more valuable ore, and will need to pay a lot more attention to what is going on if you don't want to get blown up.
bonus to this, ventures are dirt cheep so replacing them takes next to nothing. in fact we just got given one for free the other day. go get that one blown up. |

If mining is fun, relxing or tedious is debatable. It takes seven venture holds to buy this skillbook. That shoukdnt take too long. |

Dear OP, corp mining is one of the most sociable thing to do in Eve.
Putting the world to rights whilst earning isk is a decent way to pass the time.
Solo mining, on the other hand...unless it has improved in the nine or so years since I have mined (in any way shape or form) using my Iteron 3 armed with civilian lasers.
Boy, I sure got laughed at by the more able Eve players.
This is not a signature.

Yeah.
You are all right, its a question of attitude.
Even if Im not into mining I could well stand guard for a group of corporate miners.
Even if you have the passion doesnt mean you have the ability, but if you find something you are able of bring in your passion.

this seems fairly backwards to me.
Wspace. - bit of a toss up between yield and tank for me. If you have people who can come to provide backup then tank can let you hold on long enough for a rescue. but without support I'd go with yield, because if you get caught your going down no matter how good your tank might be. so may as well suck as much of the high value stuff as you can to help pay for the ship on the odd occasion you do get caught.
Lo-sec - Tank, you have belt rats to deal with which will chew through you if you aren't prepared for them and you are less likely to have corp mates ratting to keep things clear for you. Yield would be a close second for the same reasons as above. get in, get out, if your talking about a venture then yield becomes the clear winner.
null - Yield, with the intel networks that exist out in null there is very little chance of you being caught unawares, and you will probably have corp mates around keeping the belts clear of rats for you. may as well make bank.
Hi-sec... NEVER, EVER, fit for hold in HS. doing so is literally begging to get ganked. not only does fitting for hold reduce your tank, but it also paints a big ol' "i'm a juicy loot piniata" sign on your head. Tank all the way.

When I'm experiencing a large bout on Insomnia, I mine. After about 3 trips, I'm done, and can pass out. Though I am training to be a Production and Industry person. Liking the idea of selling what I make to you all to blow up. LOL. Just need to get my sub again to access the better P&I skills.

I agree with Hi-sec (and probably the others, only really mined in hi-sec though). For me Hi-sec is tank or GTFO ability depending on which ship I'm using. |

I would not play EvE, if there was no industry... It's (for me) the most interesting part of the game. Mining = cleanen up the belts Hauling = all time looking for bad guys & if needed running like Jerry the mouse... Producing stuff & selling on market... buying what i do not produce by my self and producing T2 stuff... Ships, guns, ammo, moduls ... everything PVPers needs (or PVEers after being killed) The perfect life of an "peacefull" warmonger

You should be happy there are people enjoying it, because if there was no one mining there would be nothing on the market for you to buy except the skillbooks and that sort of thing that is not possible to manufacture.

I enjoy mining my way; a couple Skiffs chewing up the ore then spitting it out, big freighter chasing cans and rat kills. Either sell the stuff to my industry character or, if she's broke, then chase the market. Or, as happens a lot, reprocess, market, make ISK so I can replace what got blown up whilst doing non-mining stuff. Don't worry about gankers, because, well, I don't worry about gankers.

Worth every isk. Cloaking and scanning open up so many aspects of EvE.
Mining with others as a social activity can be fun. Mining solo can sometimes feel like scraping an escape tunnel out of a dungeon with a broken spoon.

I mine while at work, as it's VERY afk-able, (check on it once every 15-25 minutes) and pays more than the second most afk-able activity, lvl 4 transport missions. Even with the highest mining yield that is attainable in highsec, it's still ****-poor income. (12-15m an hour) But that is still 80-100m more isk per day than I'd have otherwise.
As for anyone "actively" mining, they are either new and don't know of a better income source, are multiboxing 5-10 accounts to mine, (which is stupid, since you'd make more isk buying and selling plex instantly with your sub money for all those accounts instead.) Or they genuinely just enjoy it as an activity.
Mining may be required to keep the economy going, but it's just about the worst profession in the game due to how BORING and LOW PAY it is. But if people enjoy it, then good for them, let em enjoy it. |

Actually, there would still be stuff on the market due to reprocessing loot, now if people stopped enjoying industry as a whole, then yeah, we'd all be screwed. :P |
