This is stated to be a means of throttling the supply of highsec ice into the game, but is believed to be an anti-bot measure. The new system is making mining operations miserable for everyone in order to mildly inconvenience mining bots. Bots don't care about mining during off-hours, but real players with busy schedules will no longer be able to mine at all when they get home. In short, the 4hr respawn timer on ice belts is not a good idea.
This is so true. I can't mine anymore and I just finished a miner toon completely trained up with ice processing. It is my only miner. I sit there on the undock waiting to for my scanner to pick up a re-spawned ice belt. It is horrid. Then anytime I do find it spawn -- I see 25 Mackinaws (a botter) eating it all up in about 30 min I kid you not. I can't get a cycle finished. |

You should let him bot your account, since he can apparently mine 200 ice block/hour. I'm sorry, but i have no patience for drama.
I do want you to feel sorry for me. I just thought I'd throw that in... |

One reason I have an issue with not being able to just undock and go to an ice belt to mine is that. I run a PVP toon.
I don't like plexing to pay for the ships I loose. So I thought I'd be more practical, pay another 15 a month for a regular mining toon that I could side-train as a cyno pilot as well while mining to pay for my PVP habit.
So I spent time training him up and now I can't mine it. I think that is a pretty valid reason to be frustrated. |
