The anticipation/hope of pvp is the difference. I'm sure theres not too many miners out there watching their lasers cycle and thinking "Boy I hope someone tries to gank me." They're probably not even at the keyboard or are tabbed out doing something else.
Guilty as charged and any barge/exhumer user not doing this are either running more than one thus having to target new roids/move cargo more often or simply have no life and can't find something better to do. FFS it's still over 2 min with orca boost IIRC.
121.7 secs with my main's, other account's orca boosts....
i regularly watch what I'm doing when Mining, I enjoy it, I also run 6 account's simultainiously so while I might not be the average "player", I do watch for rats, suicide gankers and other things like targeting new roids when one pops, so far, I've been relatively fortunate, not a single suicide gank attempt on my fleet has succeeded, but that's because I've trained the skills and fit the ships to be able to withstand the average gank attempt long enough for concord to come in and take care of the issue.
I also lose money because of this in the sense that it takes me longer to mine the same amount of ore as some paper thin hulk fit solely for the purpose of sucking a rock dry, but I figure that's what's required if i want to mine in "not really that safe" high sec space.
I don't mine just to sell ore, I mine for the minerals I need to build stuff and when I'm bored, I have more than one faction/race/corp that I can run lvl 4 missions for (again, probably not "average") and I never, under any circumstances go afk when in space, I simply don't play the game that way and don't see doing that as "really" playing the game to begin with.
Just a thought.
