What have I failed again? I got all that and a capital ship in less than a year of playing, and I never afk mine. I very rarely mine in general. Sounds like all that afk mining is holding you back.
Such a pity. Sometimes the desire to afk is the enemy of the great.

Now that you mention it ... hm.

Self actualization as a character or as a person trying to use a character in a game for gain with minimal effort? If the former than you have a point. If the latter then it would seem the more important part of the equation is the activity happening away from the keyboard.
Self actualisation as a player though wouldn't just be "can they mine with the minimum effort?" it would be "Can they be the very best that is physically possible for them to be?" If you afk mine in EVE and the answer to that question is "Yes, I am the very best AFK miner I can be and thats all my potential is in this game" then I do genuinely feel sorry for you.
According to James 315, many miners aspire to be the best at mining, aka, somewhat similar to the tireless "bot".
Of course, bot-aspirant behavior is prohibited under the Code, for the good of all the mining community.

While ice mining AFK you can do laundry.
While ice mining AFK you can watch Firefly.
Where is the opportunity cost again?
You can even listen to Boat tell a story while mining.

Boring repetitive tasks like mining should be automated and the functionality to do so should be built into the game, then people would have to use their brains to work out the most efficient way to mine, and the best places to mine, not sit hunched over the PC, with brain turned off, and *click* zzz *click* *click* a billion times.
Just work our how long it takes your mackinaw to fill the cargohold really. A few clicks every 20mins to 30mins will do it, I believe.
Who needs bots anymore (besides they're forbidden tech~)
