Isn't it true that many, if not most, PvPers support their ship losses with macro miners?
Also, you used the word 'All' too many times.
I don't ever mine AFK except when nature calls, or I need a cup of coffee.
I enjoy mining because it is a challenge for me to fly three - four ships effectively. Something that I don't think any bot or group can do.
Lock rocks, phased strip miner startup, move ore to Orca, Hauler moves ore to station, change crystals, fight rats, repair damaged drones. A lot of people say the ganker problem is avoidable if you use DScan constantly. The way I mine, there isn't a lot of time for that.
Also as hundreds of players have pointed out, it's easier to make ISK running missions. I do that too.
But it isn't all about ISK. I provide free Orca support for people when I can. FREE. Some people suggest that is a carebear kind of thing to do. So what. I enjoy helping people, not stepping on them.
But I do make ISK. Not much on a daily basis, but enough to support my ship buying habit. The difference is that I have more than 500 ships now. How many PvPers can say that? Not saying there aren't some, but I'll bet there aren't many.
But you know what my favorite part of the game is? Anti-pirate roams. Just so I get a chance to meet a few dirtbags like you every now and then.

I've heard this question a number of times, and even asked it myself.
Unfortunately, I know the answer. Next expansion CCP is going to start selling pods that can mount Siege Launchers from the NEX store.

EvE is a PvP game, and you can make billions in nullsec without really using much effort if you know how
Right. Sure, I believe you.
Then where does it all go? I have yet to meet a rich PvPer. I'm sure there are some, but 90% or more, of the ones I've met have trouble covering their ship losses.
Then again, maybe I've been hanging out with the wrong crowd.

A killmail showing a 200-300 mil kill doesn't hurt either, it's the lol factor. braging factor of isk destroyed... we all have our own reasons :p but I don't think i'm a bad person in real life because of it.
First, you are mistaken about being a bad person in real life. Morals and ethics DO NOT stop at the keyboard for people who have real morals and ethics.
Second, let me tell you about a corp that one of my characters was in, that decided it would be a good thing to gank a miner.
The corp was a member of SMA at the time, but left immediately after this incident and went to wormhole country. I hope they suck there as much as they did in low sec/no sec.
Scenario:
Three toons in SecDiv. SecDiv Joins SMA. CEO gets irked at something and hauls off with enough ISK for a LOT of PLEXs. ( CollegeKid, Brian New, maybe other aliases)
But I wanted my people to stay with SMA. Probably the best alliance I've been a part of . . . except my own.
First Op: I don't know what the name was, but it had to do with getting as many corporate provided Thoraxes as possible destroyed. Hmmm. They weren't well armed, but well armored.
So we caught a red carrier off station. Got it to half shields. I really thought we could do it, but everyone was laughing. No concentrated fire. One by one, the Thoraxes are gone. Mine among them, but at least I had the common sense to save my implants.
Drew another Thorax from Corp stores, hoping they would get a breath of reality from somewhere.
But no. They know I'm primarily a miner. Their best thought for the evening?
Let's go to Torrinos and gank a miner.
Hmmm. 4-5 Thoraxes against a Retriever? (Guess they were afraid of Hulks) And they know I'm a miner?
THEIR Thorax is sitting in my depot now, with an appropriate name.
Yes, you know who I'm talking about, but you can't imagine how stupid they really are.

If I have a cut on my right arm, I usually don't put the bandage on the left.

Purrrfect.
Mittani is a legend in his own mind, surrounded but thousands of lemmings(?) who mainly, and oddly enough seem to have smelly brown noses.
Nothing personal, Socks.

So just how meaningful is this entire thread?

In the end, it isn't the game screwing up the players, it's the players screwing up the game, and CCP seems to approve.
Well, I t IS all about the money after all.
