Way to go on nerfing mining,
I love the fact that during the run up to this patch you we're soothing our brows with information like and i quote
"Decreasing reprocessing efficiency as a whole affects the outcome of mining, which really doesnGÇÖt need to be nerfed right now. As such, to keep ratio fairly identical, we are going to boost all minerals and ice products gained by reprocessing ores and ices approximately by 38.1% (1/0.724). This will apply to all the unrefined alchemy material as well."
Though the upshot of anyone who has trained up all relevant processing skills is that we get a 30% nerf on reprocessing ore into minerals
check out this link that CCP helpfully provided in the run up

So if on the old system you refined 1 batch of plain old veld you got 1000 units of trit and all was right in the world :)
However on this wonderful new system to get to supposed equivalent you need to refine 3 batches, for this (at 100% and maxed skills) you are supposed to receive 1245 units of trit.
Now 10% of 1245 is 124.5 and hence 30% is 373.5 units, so 1245 - 373.5 is 871.5 units of trit, now bear in mind that this is based on the 70% station refine so why do i end up with 866 units of trit for a 3 batch run?
So lets see batches changed to 100 units, OK fine, minerals boosted by 38% yet we end up with a NET effect of more then 30%
Now don't get me wrong I completely agree with the overhaul and making refining (i hate the use of reprocessing for refining ore) and making it Skill based and also making the reward for being a low sec miner better than being a high sec miner, thou low sec miners already had access to much higher rewards than high sec miners
The fact that CCP gave the impression that you wasn't going to get nerfed for training hard and getting all those nice level 5 skills is a bit of a kick in the balls
The heart of the matter is that there was a better way to of done this and giving the impression that you wasn't going to lose out (yup this goes back to the 38% increased yields in roids) sucks, surly the better way would of been to increased the low sec side of the equation and kept the high sec side as it was?
Though I don't believe this is going to cause lots of people to quit eve or anything daft I do think that people will look more closely at whether or not to remain in mining and/or to trust what CCP dev's say in their blogs
Any way that's just my two pence worth
