In the past I questioned Issler Dainze on her stance pertaining to mining "improvements." Her response was dodgy at first, but she did come up with a few very nice pieces of propaganda before being elected to the CSM:
Issler Dainze wrote:I'd even suggest this, if mining was working the way a lot of miners would like it, it would be a lot hard to bot it. It would be a dynamic activity where active real time participation would improve results dramatically.
Issler Dainze wrote:The other part about mining is you quickly plateau. You can quickly train all the skills that will ever matter to you, get the best ships that help you mine and then then what? When is the last time something that changed the mining experience or provided a new skill to learn was put into Eve? And yet, this is an activity a huge segment of Eve spends their time doing.
The upcoming changes to aggression mechanics and the recent changes to Exhumers and Barges hardly seem consistent with these views. This is because the Mackinaw is pretty much the clear-cut plateau for mining in almost all situations due to its beefy EHP, its cavernous ore bay, and its astonishing yield. With a Mackinaw in today's Eve, miners may mine unmolested in 0.7 security space and higher without reasonable fear of risk.
How, exactly, does that make the process more engaging and less bot-friendly? If you agree with me that this is more bot friendly, what advice do you have for CCP about the direction of mining from here on?
Further, how do the changes favor a diversification of fits and ship selection, when one pinnacle ship clearly has more of everything miners want than either of the other two in its class? How is today's situation any better at all than the time when the Great Untanked Hulk was just as ubiquitous? If it isn't a better scenario than before, what would you suggest for a change to the new mining vessels?
[Edit]
How rude of me...
Thank you in advance for your time and attentive answer.

Those change are not the final set of features for miners. Look at the summit notes and you'll see there are other new mining experiences in the works like ring mining and compound asteroids and possibly active mining laser that allow the miner to control the laser and change the yield.
So mining improvements are just starting to show up, it will take some time for CCP to get us everything planned.

Issler I'm not sure you explained how the changes work against bots. Nor how they discourage plateauing.
You just said there are other things coming, that's not the same.
I'm looking for specifics about these changes. Ie, are they consistent with the above-mentioned quotes, and if not, are you against them philosophically? He who trolls trolls best when he who is trolled trolls the troller. -Darth Gustav's Axiom |

The changes we got seem to be changes in the wrong direction even from the quoted viewpoints expressed by CSM Dainze before the changes ever hit TQ.

Fortunately she was willing to comment on miners' "real" desires for mining prior to the CSM election out of blind self-interest.
Now that the comment is dredged back up we have a classic case of a politician shirking pre-election claims and exchanging their apparent validity with empty propaganda and silence.

I am not hearing any miners complaining about the barge changes. I see some trolls trying to make some strange case that the barge changes "hurt" miners.
The barge changes were not about stopping botting. CCP has other things constantly in play to address that.
So if some miners have some mining related topics they would like to discuss let me know but realize, there is a full plate of work on CCP's table already so if its some big new thing, you won't see it for years.

Issler OK this is something. The barge changes weren't about botting. Were they about plateauing?
Did they accomplish the kinds of things (interactivity, compelling gameplay) that miners want? How about the kinds of things (no plateauing, each ship has a role) that CCP wanted? Or did they have the opposite effects?
I'm not trolling Issler, I'm asking you for your opinion in the context of your other opinions.
It's not that much to ask from an elected representative.
And at least some players (possibly even including high-sec miners) are still waiting for you to directly answer the questions, thank you. Do you think the changes were consistent with what miners "actually want" as you expressed prior to running for CSM? If not, what advice do you have for CCP on the direction they need to head in the future to make mining more interactive and compelling?
Also, I have one new question. What are your thoughts about the roles of risk in the career of the high-sec miner?
[Edit]
I was unaware CSM constituency and responsibilities were broken down specifically by profession. Your last paragraph imply that you're only willing to dialogue with miners. That does not seem like a particularly strong position.
Most of your constituency is probably AFK or botting if that's the case, though. Not many questions or discussions there, I'd imagine.

The more interesting changes are not the barge changes, although I think most miners like those quite a bit and the new mining frigate should be interesting as well.
As I mentioned before the items that will start to make mining a richer experience are in the pipe, the new compound rocks and actively controlled lasers will be first and then ring mining. The laws of physics means that you won't get everything instantly. So all I can say, and what I've been saying for some time is there are some great new things in plan for miners but it will be some time before we get them all.

The barge changes are absolutely consistent with what I had hoped for miners in Eve. However they are only one part of a lot of things needed. For example the idea of the Skiff being great for ninja mining in more dangerous and but more profitable locations is fantastic. unfortunately at the moment those places are not in Eve. There is a lot of discussion about how to make low sec relevant again and if part of that means making mining there interesting we now have a great barge for the challenge.

Obviously this thread was a waste of time, though.

You need to get over the fact that the barge changes were NOT supposed to address the items you cite that I wanted to see changed in mining. I certainly didn't run based on seeing some change to the barges and that is it. Like I said, I am not seeing miners complain about the barges.
As for the most interesting changes to mining, we'll have to wait and see.
As for ice prices, markets work, if miners aren't happy with the prices they have the freedom to do something else with their time.

If not, what advice do you have for CCP about future directions?
You keep saying what's coming and what's consistent, but it looks like there's a lot of inconsistencies here and I'd think you'd have an opinion about that. Being that, you know, you claim to be one of the high-sec CSMs and also seem closest to the issues of mining.
We do agree the market will work itself out, though. We probably disagree on where that equilibrium will be found (I say material values from high-sec will approach zero over a long enough time) but hey, at least there's that. We agree on something anyway. He who trolls trolls best when he who is trolled trolls the troller. -Darth Gustav's Axiom |

Issler
So you're stating that the changes weren't intended to remove the concept of "plateauing" into a "top tier" ship, which instead they merely changed to the Mackinaw from the Hulk? Interesting. It sure seems like that was a stated goal, and that you'd have an opinion on where they might have went wrong.
Also, far from making botting more difficult, the new ore bays made it easier.
I suppose it's a good thing they weren't intended to address any of the changes you felt were important. Otherwise, you'd actually have a reason to comment here.
In the discussion we had prior to your election, you insisted there were plenty of options for miners besides giving them a giant bag of hitpoints to mine in. The quotes I brought up were among those, and I felt they were relevant to what we saw in the changes. Apparently you disagree with yourself.
Two faces of CSM Issler Dainze?

What about more interesting mining content in plan and coming do you not understand. Miners are not complaining about the barges and honestly those changes were going to happen even if I didn't like them because they were in plan before CSM 7 even took office, so maybe you should go find someone in CSM 6 to troll.

You really have no clue what the barge changes were supposed to accomplish. do you? You really paid that little attention to anything CCP was saying in the run up to those changes?
The AFK CSM Representative. Perfect rep for the mining profession.
Do you intend to run for CSM8, Issler?

Issler
So you're stating that the changes weren't intended to remove the concept of "plateauing" into a "top tier" ship, which instead they merely changed to the Mackinaw from the Hulk? Interesting. It sure seems like that was a stated goal, and that you'd have an opinion on where they might have went wrong. Also, far from making botting more difficult, the new ore bays made it easier. I suppose it's a good thing they weren't intended to address any of the changes you felt were important. Otherwise, you'd actually have a reason to comment here. In the discussion we had prior to your election, you insisted there were plenty of options for miners besides giving them a giant bag of hitpoints to mine in. The quotes I brought up were among those, and I felt they were relevant to what we saw in the changes. Apparently you disagree with yourself. Two faces of CSM Issler Dainze? Forum readers can now decide for themselves. What about more interesting mining content in plan and coming do you not understand. Miners are not complaining about the barges and honestly those changes were going to happen even if I didn't like them because they were in plan before CSM 7 even took office, so maybe you should go find someone in CSM 6 to troll. Issler What about the exhumer changes makes botting more difficult? Bots don't care how interesting it is.
What about the exhumer changes reduced plateauing? It all looks the same to me, only much less valuable.
Issler, Value = Demand / Supply.
With that in mind, what's best for miners? He who trolls trolls best when he who is trolled trolls the troller. -Darth Gustav's Axiom |

Actually I am sure you are right. Nothing is ever coming out in Eve again, CCP is sitting around working on absolutely nothing. Since you can't see them coding they most not be coming out with anything new....
You can find out what the intention was for barges here since you seem to be too lazy to look ship rebalancing
No plans for CSM 8.

You know if you really wanted some kind of actual answer about barges vs. direction of industry changes, you could probably ask Seleene as well - a large portion of his platform was industrial changes, and I daresay it had a far greater level of detail and vision than Issler's "this is a list of things I do in game so vote for me ok" platform.
I doubt you'd get much in the way of answers, but it's gotta be more satisfying than lobbing this many words at low-hanging fruit like Issler, right? |

Everybody uses a Mackinaw (if they have the skills) no matter the situation. The success of a project is not based on whether miners are shedding tears. It based on whether the design principles were achieved. They definitely were not.

But enough votes can probably be swung to ensure she/he doesn't get a seat, if he/she decides to run again.
