But I did, you decided not to look at it because it was not in a format that would enable you to click and get results.

If you guys wanted a clear indication of what makes eve tick, I'd say miners do. Carebear miners at that.

yea. I have noticed the same: miners work better than 'real players'
1. miners
2. manufacturers/researchers/etc...
3. carebears (mission runners)
4. 'gankers' - ego-oriented group

morally superior

and now explain how those arbitrary values are in any way balanced or equal.

without them, one group reaching an arbitrary and irrelevant amount before another has 0 meaning and isn't evidence.

I dont know what this means

I dont know what this means

Then its possible that like many EVE players you might be morally bankrupt.

One would imagine it's based on an average amount per hour. However, like subscription numbers, CCP has not released these.

I think though the point being that not only have carebears pulled other and mined more, but every single other group has also gotten their shite together and done more.

Thus far, anyway.

You're still assuming that they're meant to be completed at the same rate.
It's possible (and in fact it makes sense) that they made the goals for destruction harder, since that's ultimately what they want more of in this game than anything else.

By this logic you would expect bounties to be nearing completion first but theyre in the same boat as isk destroyed.

Mined Volume
42.96% of 25.7 bill goal = 11.04072 bill
184,012 man/hours at 60,000 m3 per hour

NPC bounties
29.6% of 7.44 trill goal = 2.20224 trill
220,224 man/hours at 100mil per hour.

My assumptions were: average miner is getting 1,000 m3 per minute (60,000 per hour) and average ratter/missioner getting 100m per hour

Someone correct my maths if I am wrong.

Ratters average clsoer to 60m and below. Mission runners don't make most of their money on bounties, so even if they are making 100m/hr, it's more like 30-40m on bounties.

average solo miner can pull about 3k+ / minute.

Anyway, your post touches on a point I make repeatedly. The game is infested with a kind of aspergian "min/maxer" habit that is interesting to see, but in those who do it, I end up wondering if they are really playing a game or if some kind of OCD is afoot. Maybe Ritalin is involved? I don't know. But imagine what happens if you go into the house of someone with a cleaning compulsion and trash it for the lulz. How do they respond? I've seen the "air" of such a response in local when some of these players get ganked and I have seen gate campers display equal rage when they fail to get their kill. They are the first to state that anyone putting triple stabs on an intie should have their mothers shot, and they do it with such venomous rhetoric that again, like the ISK-aholic in highsec, I wonder what game they are playing.
