This thread amuses me.
This char is now my miner - also my 'new' main char (sold my main a few years ago and recently came back) and i have an alt that i use for PVE / missions and picking up the cans from my miner.
I had a little 'play' last night in my local ore belt, with my Covetor, running 3 x T1 strips, 2 x mining upgrade II's (works out just under 2800M3 per cycle on all 3) and filling up my Miasmos. After a quick bit of math, i worked out that 3 hours of mining Veld (all 3 types) with my current set up, covers my 'cost' for the day* If i feel like it, i'll go and do a bit more but usually after that, i then switch to my alt and go pirate bashing or doing security missions for the dollar.
I mine whatever is convenient to me - usually what ever is in my sector - Highsec too, i might point out - purely for the reason that i can't be arsed with the upheaval of moving all my crap in to nullsec, because back when i played last time (around 4 years ago) miners used to spend a solid 80% of their time stuck in the stations in Null due to the fact that it wasn't safe - a bad investment.
From what i understand, Null is no longer as dangerous as it was but is it actually worth me moving there now, after all the posts about the prices crapping out ? Everyone is out to make money, the prices are totally wacked and in the end it'll be the miners that take the hit from it.
*my mining character's cost per day is worked out quite simply. The cost of a plex, divided by 30 (days) divided by 5 (hours) which then tells me what my miner needs to make in isk. (25M p/d - currently 3 full loads of Veld)

Is it CCP's job to supply the correct 'roids for you to mine then ? Or just lower the materials in some of the rocks, just so people can make more money ? (or, more likely, start moaning because now there's not enough of it and it's too expensive)
Heaven forbid you actually have to make a plan for your materials, rather than just turning up, flip the belt and hope you didn't get too much stuff you don't want. You guys get stuff we need in High and we get stuff you need in low/null.
Good lord, whatever next ? how long before you want CCP to start supplying a free courier service to take your ores to be sold, or an ore counter on your strip miners so that you can turn it off at exactly the right second so you don't waste any valuable time.
Adjust to the market, or stop trying to sell the stuff that's already flooding the market. Not a difficult one to be honest.

CCP can only do so much though - they can't stop people from mining, as much as they can't stop people from ganking. The only way it'll balance out is when the players sort it out.
