I currently find mining too boring to really consider, so if an exploration-type hunt for extra loot gets added to the equation, I'll want to try it out. Of course, I've already spoken in favour of that kind of change; handled well, it could add another interesting aspect to the game. That said, my definition of 'handled well' means 'this is a way to add more isk for people who are paying attention while mining', not 'this is an explicit nerf to multibox miners that makes most of their characters worthless', so given that any given implementation may or may not be that reasonable, YMMV. exploration is **** BECAUSe of the odyssey changes, on top of them ebing easy as **** to find adn subsequently scan, making it so easy for everyone to do it exploration as a "proffession" has seens its isk/hour crash, the ahcking minigame literally serves NO purpose other than an excuse to randomly give you the unwinnable scenario, depriving you of not only isk, but keeping your ship decloaked as long as possible causing you to have to dump your hacks a good chunk of the time anyways as hostiles start scanning you out.
minigames are ****, and they always will be, mining is NOT supposed to eb an "active" proffession, it is for the people who care more about socializing and being able to actually get some isk while still ebing able to get REAl wrk done.
all a minigame would do is increase the amount of clicks you have to make for the same amount of ore and isk/hr by a dozen-fold, while removing your ability to walk away to grab a phone/snack entirely without being detrimental to your profit. anmd it wouldnt make mining more "interactive" OR "exciting" since after doing it once or twice, it would become JUST as painfully repetitive and boring as mining is now.
hell, with this change, MISSIONING would be a more afk-proffession than mining. and if they take away mining's ability for "passive income" then they better do the same with moon mining and PI, because i swear i refuse to play a game where a ****** profession gets shittier because of "reasons" that for soem reason dont apply to toher activities that have the same prinicple but on a more extreme scale.
apologies for spelling, on a friend's tablet and these things are a pain in the ass to use. |
