I just had a lightbulb go off.
What if every barge got an extra high slot, which was a "hardpoint" for a certain module.
Call it the "Harvester Yield Actuation Device" or something.
It has a 1 minute cycle and does not repeat. When it's on, your mining yield is normal (what it currently is). When it's offline, your mining yield drops in half.
Miners who wanted to AFK would get **** income and thus not AFK as much.
Genius.

I'd suggest next time, just replace the lightbulb.
Ganking is the solution to AFK mining. It brings tears and causes much harsher consequences of AFKing the game. |

I guess i've never seen something where ccp actually said they didnt like afk mining. It seems to be just players who dont think mining is for them and want to force their ideals on everyone else. |

I actually would not be opposed to that - so long as there was a "grace period" of like 15-30 seconds where your cloak would "decay", during which time you could still re-active that moduled while remaining undetected.

I am in no way defending afk miners, I dont do it myself, on the rare occasions I do mine I am at the screen. But what all these people dont realise is that if all the miners stopped mining, like so many people seem to want, where would the minerals for your ships come from? Reprocessing scrap only gives so much. |

No no no. The extra high slot could accommodate a cloak, which could be activated while mining. That way the AFK miners could be AFK cloakers, too...

How about game designers all across the MMO board learn to create content rather than time sinks? Then there'd be no need to AFK because the mechanics would actually be engaging rather than mind numbingly boring.

All mechanics that require repetition (that is to say, the content developers aren't continually generating new content) becomes a tedious time sink eventually. It doesn't matter how exciting you make it initially. |

Hey, nice module. It makes AFK mining harder for AFK miners. Good thing they can't just not fit that module.
Oh wait, they could just not fit the module since you know, there is no benefit whatsoever to having it.

Instead I propose that for every cycle of the strip miners, the player has to complete the new mini-game or they mine nothing. This way, CCP gets to combined the two most tedious activities in the game into one great glorious bore fest. Now, if they could only find some way to also add a reinforcement timer that makes you alarm clock at oddball hours to complete your mining then ccp will have created the ultimate trifecta of awful.

I don't see anything wrong with AFK mining. It pays them **** and they're fun to gank. It keeps ships cheap because the labour is so devalued. People who don't like it should try fitting up a catalyst and nailing an untanked AFK Hulk sometime, it's pretty amusing. For how terribly unfun the mining activity is, it should never have been an "active" activity in the first place and should have been something players can manage passively like PI or manufacturing. |
