Mining is a an activity that is beyond boring, and on top of that it has to be the least interactive thing imaginable.
Am I the only person who sees this as a problem?
They made a minigame for hacking which is really nice and interactive.
In mining you literally just sit there, a lot of the mining deaths are from sheerly being alt tabbed or afk, why not make a minigame that's interactive and gives bonuses to mining like -5 s activation time or +5% yield.
As a new player mining was a major let down and it has got to be literally the most mind numbing task you can set forth in this game, even gate jumping is more interactive.
Why hasn't this issue been addressed at all or at least even slightly improved after 17 expansions? |

A minute for a single yield? at base level 3 mining frigate youre at best getting 300 m3 per 60s? how is that enjoyable? it takes 20 minutes to fill up your ore hold. |

You can choose to not be a miner.
It's just misleading on tutorials. You expect it to become less boring and more intricate but instead it becomes more bland than ever conceivable. |

You're unhappy that one day miners may actually have to play Eve whilst mining? Really?
Why should they have to be glued to the screen? If CCP didn't want it to be an AFK or semi AFK activity why did they make the mining laser cycles so long in the first place. And also.. not every activity in eve should require furious clicking, maximum levels of concentration, and your undivided attention. especially for the **** poor payout it provides. what's wrong with a chilled, laid back, low effort low reward activity? This^^ about sums it up.
It doesn't have to be abolished, they could just make it optional with some med slot item, which engages on targeted asteroids to give a small bonus for actually clicking and putting forth effort. |

I'm in a low sec corp, When you own certain systems you can just mine there and most the time your corp is already killing people who shouldn't be there. Mining is a horrid way of making isk, time wise and finance wise, but it shouldn't just be horrible all around because people like being afk. |
