mining, terrible isk/hour.
however what have i done for my isk hour? i've done the laundry, had a shower, watched yet another episode of whatever tv series i've been watching etc.
what have you done while you were doing a non-mining activity? none of the above, that's for sure.
throw in a bit of station trading while mining and watch the wallet fatten.
mining isn't some thing you do because it's an isk monster, mining is some thing you do because it's free isk while you do other stuff.

They then whined that it was unfair that they couldn't mine with a max yeild setup without risk so CCP nerfed ganking. Miners now complain that their job is boring... It was never miners complaining that mining was boring. If they find mining boring, they're just PvP pilots desperate for ISK, thinking that mining is an ISK-making exercise. You can thank people like Alikchialeika for the barge buff. All that effort into ganking miners, triggering CCP to make mining barges just a little more survivable in a hostile environment. Your collective industrialization of miner harassment efforts will keep the hisec buffs coming. Which is what you want, after all. We now know that if we do nothing to counter fools on the forums bad things will happen. Hence why we are now keeping a detailed record on our freighter piracy so that CCP cannot be fooled into another disasterous event like the unbalanced barge changes.
the barge changes were terrible, and i'm saying this as a miner. ganking aside, they simply went from king hulk to king mackinaw. the rebalance was terrible.

confirming this is what pvpers want so when they blow up a freighter everything is worth more.

I know of no-one who does not aim at doing other stuff while mining. Watching movies, shows what ever.
Mining is an extreme grind of your life. Seriously consider if it's worth the (lack of) isk.
there aren't any other activities that give you isk for watching your favourite film.

The only issue I have with some profession (ice mining) is when they become an activity where you profit for not actually playing the game. But you can mine ice continuously with no interaction, and only have to empty your cargohold once in a while (used to be 20 minutes for my Macks to fill, but new Retrievers & Macks carry about 3 times more).
unless you're totally afk, mining ore is easily more profitable. 1 button click every 180 seconds or so for almost double the profit. just a simple alt+tab to change back to eve, restart your laser, and tab back to whatever you're doing outside of eve on your pc.

because we like to spam GD with pointless ****, it's pretty much the reason for GD's existence.
