You guys are all whiners. Fine every time your miner cycles you play a minigame of tic tac toe to get the ore. If you lose you don't get any ore if you win you mine how much ore your miner can output. |

than dont mine, i find it entertaining and relaxing when i know what my final product will be. other than that go do missions or something else for your isk if all you are doing is simply putting the mins for sale. I make about 1b a day when im not mining and about 100m a day when i do mine if i sale the mins.

Hey the OP complained about mining being boring so let's make it interactive. lol i think eve screwed up Explorations sites enough, dont let them f... up mining even more With minigames... u jackass  You did say mining is boring and repetitive. How about this then: Ghost Mines. Same as my idea above but if you fail it will spawn 500 npc catalysts zero on you with the same fitting as a gank cat if you fail the minigame. If you succeed the minigame it'll spew ore to fill the cargo hold of a barge. Alternatively if you run out of time it'll spawn 50 arty nado npc's ready to shoot at you with 5 scram frigs zero on you.
Now that would be fun

I can say the same thing about hauling. I dont have time to click WTZ every jump.
Making mining faster would deplete belts quicker, so no I dont think mining needs an overhaul.
Personally I enjoy mining as a casual activity. I find it relaxing. But much like Hauling, if I get bored I go do somtheing else for awhile. If ALL you do is mine, then yes you are going to get bored.
So NO to player instant gratification needs. Sorry.

The real time it take to mine minerals is what gives eve's mining it's value. If it was easy, if it was fast, everyone would do it... and the economy would suck like most other games. If you don't like how long it take to mine, there are things you can do that take less time and earn faster. Do those things and buy the minerals from people who have more time to mine than you.

Or we could just hide mines in asteroid fields for the unexpected BOOM!! every now and then.
Did I mention the mines can damage your ship?

(I agree there need to be changes to mining. But not for the same reasons)
No impact at all versus a retriever if you are dropping directly into an orca or jet canning and MTU-ing and teh ship is way cheaper to buy and fit plus has more tank.
Basically Procurer/Retriever are the same ore per minute and only the Covetor gives higher yield.

Mini-game...a freakin mini game???
I quit exploration cause of that lame mini-game...3 frineds of mine totalling almost 10 accounts haven't been seen since ingame because of it....and the fact that months of training became almost meaningless.
Yeah, mining needs help, but not some smart phone mini game
How about progressive Rats....you sit in one place too long and the Rat's escalate to larger better equipped rats.

I simply don't understand
Mining is an excellent pastime for those of us who find the rest of EvE to be over stimulating.
Ice mining used to be that outlet...spending countless hours watching ice blocks go from 10,000 units to 9,999....9,998 ohhh the joy :)
Recent changes have made ice mining far too intense for those with weak hearts.....so regular mining of the Giant SpodGäó is now recommended.
Please ensure your barges are not aligned to anything....try and stay at the warp in point as well....and as always safety in numbers....pack barges side by side. Also it is recommended that you ensure you fit for maximum yield....you don't want to lose out on any isk making opportunities.

+1 for tougher rats...make .5 systems dangerous.
Random respawns for ice and ore...in different systems and in different locations in the systems they do spawn in...force miners to seek out and scan down the ore they mine. More different kinds of ore. |

You know, there are other things you can do in Eve besides mining. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if you weren't trying to micromanage a hulk mining fleet.
I think mining is something you do when you are new -- or when you are at your computer reading about Eve, watching netflix, or even doing real computer work.
The last thing CCP should do is "force" mining to be more interactive.

I think most anti-mining people are aware that the AFK miners who have kids/demanding work/etc would just quit the game if mining got interactive and they had to pay 100% attention. Thing is the anti-mining types see that as a good thing. |

Don't worry, we're on it.
Highsec is owned by players now. Systems 0.5-1.0 are New Order Territory.-áAll miners and other residents of Highsec must obey The Code.-áMining without a permit is dangerous and harmful to the EVE community. See www.MinerBumping.com to learn more. |

CCP couldn't care less for mining. If less players mine, the ore price goes up and some new players will get into minig again for ISK.
Also they made some of the mining barges specially for been ganked by low cost frigates. It's content for this high-sec gankers. If you look at the kills of such a ganker you see they went to low sec, got killed a few times there and they got back in high-sec where they feel safe and CCP provided some targets for them. |

What would you change to make the process of mining interesting?
It doesn't need to be fun. Guess that would be close to impossible.
It needs to be meditative. Today it's... well, only bearable if afk. Some interaction would be needed. Doesn't need to be a fun interaction, but one where you can lose yourself in.
A change in a direction where you partly guide the laser manually might be an idea. Do that well and you might get double the output you have while doing nothing. Balancing required of course. |
