I can: Watch movie, play another game, join fleets in my corp, ...
Earlier in game i would've liked more interactivity, now? It's a way to play for free and extra isk, all it requires is click and drag every 30 mins and offloading orca every hour. I don't do it because it's fun, i do it because it makes isk for no effort.
In low/null you can't afford ignoring local like in highsec.
If it wasn't for the ability to go afk in empire, i would probably be mining in nullsec, if at all. |

I try to afk while i afk but it just gives me a headache. Mining is a much better time to do it. "The nice thing about quotes is that they give us a nodding acquaintance with the originator which is often socially impressive." ~Kenneth Williams |

Super exiting isn't it? It's god dam torture, and unless it was more interactive/ required player input (for the mining itself), people will continue to go afk while mining.
Why do MOST AFK mine ? I don't know.
Questions is flawed and pre-prejudiced from the get-go.

Afk mine all you want.
Know this though, if I or one my ilk catch you unawares, we will blow up your barge and squish your pod.

considering mining requires 0 interaction, and therefore you have no way to tell if some one is afk or not i wish you good luck with carrying that out without shooting people who aren't afk.

Actually I'm doing it for lulz and tears.. and also the salvage. But if you want to say "flooding the market with low end minerals to force the prices down" then that works too! |

Yes, like just wholeheartedly lumping "most" miners as AFK, and that mining requires zero attention.
Stating nonsense just to be stating nonsense, with no purpose, even in it's deceptive distraction from the REAL.
THAT is a brainless activity....most indeed. -á"I am not young enough to know everything." - Oscar Wilde |

Yes. I remember the old Montrose Mining Company in Houston when I lived there (not sure if Throckmorton Mining company still open in Dallas or not).
It really had a mining theme with the wooden ceiling supports and all that. -á"I am not young enough to know everything." - Oscar Wilde |

hardly a false statement. perhaps you should stop commenting on things you've never done when people who actually do it make comments.
what do i have to do in order for my ship to mine something? nothing, i just wait. the game requires me to not do anything else while it fills my ship up.
it's a fact that mining requires 0 interaction. hence why people afk mine ice because they can literally leave the house and go to the shop, walk the dog etc, because there's no need to interact with the game in anyway in order to be able to mine.

Isn't it odd how the only people saying such things are people who are against mining in general?
If they tried mining while 100% afk out walking the dog, I've no doubt they'd quickly be complaining about how they lost their mining ship. |

not really. if i didn't have to tab back every time an asteroid popped i'd be walking the dog too. the simple fact is nobody really tries to gank miners "for lulz" or "because they hate afkers". hulkageddon excluded. unless some one is handing you a stack of isk to suicide people, it simply doesn't happen often enough for it to be a "thing".
****, i've lost 2 mining ships in my entire life, one of them was a t1 barge during hulkageddon, that's why it was t1. the second, was a corp mate ******* around.
i've yet to see a mining barge, of mine or belonging to another player get shot at in high sec outside of hulkageddon. Reading my posts is like panning for gold; most it will be useless, but occasionally you'll find a nugget of gold. |

You know i don't get people... i mean how many of you whiners are actual miners? I mean this is a case of a child whining that somebody else got a different toy that doesn't match yours exactly and you want that kids toy taken away.
This game really is full of people who just don't understand that not everybody plays the game the same. You pay your $15 a month and i pay my $15 a month. You like killing/popping ships every chance you get i like making ships and mining. During my "afk" mining i'm actually at my computer in game chatting with friends and corp mates, i'm also doing PI, checking market orders, checking market fluctuations and planning what my next manufacturing run is going to be.
But wait you want to screw the miner? I mean you like your shinny little ship that allows you to pop other ships? Possibly even miners? Well somebody had to mine that ore (or salvage it) also somebody had to make that ship right?
This whole "hate the miners" thing this game has is so childish... i mean really guys. |

A lot of it has to do with bored Pvp'ers who can't find enough targets at the time they are playing. Most can't think beyond their own personal satisfaction.
It's nothing personal. They just need something to do, so they just invent some justification of their behavior and try to get game mechanics changed to suit their chosen form of gameplay.
Most are too narrow minded to realize that if everything that they ask were done, Hi Sec would become the same ghost town that Low and Null are often today. |

The way I see it, every pilot like Starfox is a little bit more ISK in my bank. They keep the mineral prices inflated, and demand for ships/mod/ammo high. It's a true miners dream I"m not really the Evil One, I'm just his answering service. |

And what else do you think those really want?
-> finish "their" level, thinking there's another one to farm for ->slap CCP with intelligent words like "incompetent" and "lack of imagination", because it's obvious they're smarter ->ragequit because they don't have targets any more, rage a little bit more over high sec and CCP
Bah, just leave them do whatever, play when you have fun and stop playing when you have none. Don't worry about anything like those, it's a waste of your time for no changes. |

That is generally what I do.
Though, I suspect that many think by making Hi Sec a ghost town, the population will migrate to Low and Null since that is where all the rewards would then be located and that by default will make Null and Low suit their desires. I don't think this would be the end result.
They will just succeed in making Eve a ghost town.

It is actually remarkably easy to tell if someone is afk or not. Think about it for a minute, don't worry I'll wait.
