And you think some form of miner E-bushido code is going to catch on with any of them?
Sure it will, probably be about as well received as syphilis in a nunnery.
In the end, people mine for isk, and you expect them to not do any afk mining, only mine the bare minimum they need, be polite to everyone, never pirate against anyone, and be a good and upright member of the community?
Lol. The reason people don't respect miners is cause there's really nothing to inspire respect. They mine stuff, they make stuff, they sell stuff. It's easy, mind-numbing work for little pay because anyone can do it with no effort or risk.
i am not sure about this "easy, no effort...anybody can do it" thing.
1. not everybody has an alt to mine while his main does other "more important" stuff.
2. pure mining (ship into belt, target roid, activate cycle) might not require much skill,
BUT
managing mining OP-¦s, spreading income and payment across various people who took part,
managing a whole industrious endeavour IS something not so many can do per se.
I am a firm believer that this actually is harder and more challenging than be part of a 400 man fleet and just listen to your FC on when and where to jump and who-¦s gonna be primaried.
3. miners, as any part of the eve economy, need and are worth of respect. as in real life....everbody is worthy of getting respect... as is the busboy who cleans dishes or tables at a restaurant. just because he works for less or has not the skillset that you do deosnt mean he-¦s worth of respect
my ramblings have nothing to do with the codex of course, which i deem a bit silly because, miners and industrialists are the premiere capitalists in eve and not really interested in lowering their efficiency and potential income
