Good point, I was gonna say if your enjoying what your doing, whats the problem?
RE: Free minerals - In one sence they are. They cost OP 0 isk. They did cost time and effort but time and effort is not the same as the balance in your wallet. Though it is standard practice to value ore against what they could be sold for, not everyone counts every 0.01 isk and the sense of value at having produced something valuable ingame may be as much of a kick for someone else as your 7 page spreadsheet that tells you the OP lost 6.73 percent total earnings per hour. Each to there own I suppose.

No. Its bad enough that the industry community has to deal with idiots like you. Here's some friendly advice, just sell the ores/minerals that you mine, you'll make more money, and save some time. Leave the real industrial stuff to the clever people (read as: people who can do basic arithmetic) kthxbai
Maybe she enjoys the process and isn't enslaved to the almighty Isk likeyou clever people seem to be.

I believe you are mistaking for a carebear. I am not. By doing industry correctly you can plex your account(s) and have enough isk and (more importantly) plenty of time left over for pew pew. creating an optimal isk:hour:fun ratio.
Carebear no, just a.n.other 'people who don't play like me are dumb' kind. They come in all 'flavours'

Also if you take this 'ISK potential' maximisation to it's logical conclusion surely every one in highsec would be in Jita changing market orders all day.

OK so all you 'oppurtinity cost' addicts in this thread.
Oppurtunity Cost is a way to assess potential income.
Note POTENTIAL, should someone choose not to fulfill this potential that is up to them.
Reasons why they might not choose to fulfill this potential are. 'They enjoy the process of making things' or perhaps ' They get a warm fuzzy feeling knowing someone got a ship cheaply and they have made somone else happy'
So now we have introduced another factor into our equation, for the sake of arguement we will call this 'Emotional potential'
where
Selling my stuff at a price I'm happy with (positive emotional potential) > trawling market daily to check prices for everything I sell putting hours on my weeks workload doing something I detest ( negative emotional potential )
Now this is the part some of you are going to find shocking.
Emotinal potential > Earning potential
Even in real life IMO
To think it's otherwise in a ficitonal game makes me concerned for your emotianal and mental stabilty frankly.
