Bopping around Amarr space in my Maulus I was aghast to see how wretched the starting systems were in regards to ore. The mining inclined new players of EVE and just those doing agent missions have a hard time of actually finding an asteroid, never mind extracting sufficient amount out of it in their starting system.
Since CCP seems to think of this as Someone Elses Problem (somone else being the new players) what we can do is to name and shame those corporations that show a complete lack of consideration towards those just starting the game, thereby possibly damaging it's success.
The first steps in EVE are hard enough (getting to know how basic things work takes days and weeks) without established corporations doing their best to hinder the first steps of the new citizens.
So I made a quick trip to the 3 starting Amarr systems and below you find the results of my survey of the empty asteroid belts.
These corporations should be ashamed, remove their containers at once and stay out of 1.0 space with their mining operations. -- Champion of user friendlieness and proper information distribution Defender of newbies EVE knowledgeBase |

In regards to the Small Secure adcans (Fuall managing to enter every belt, impressive attention to detail) then they are per se not a mining operation module.
However it should show you how cluttered many of those asteroid belts are. Finding an asteroid is harder than not bumping into a container. -- Champion of user friendlieness and proper information distribution Defender of newbies EVE knowledgeBase |

Quote: actually those cans sit there empty. we haven't mined in sehmy since our newb corp. but having a low sec rating the owner of those cans can't get into high sec space anymore.
i can remember when those rocks weren't too bad in size. and they are striped bare now?
Sehmy actually has more asteroids than containers, which is unique in high security space. -- Champion of user friendlieness and proper information distribution Defender of newbies EVE knowledgeBase |

Quote: Aren't we in Imperial Dreams the scum of the earth? Ninja mining all that lovely veldspar from underneath the newbies noses?
Nothing to do with the fact that we regularly recruit brand new players and teach them how to play from the ground up. So errrm yeah.... when you see us mining in battleships in 1.0 systems then you might have a point. Until then, shut up, go back to your pointless existance and stop bringing idiotic half-truths to the boards. It makes you look very stupid when you don't know whats going on.
Once you recruit them you might want to move them to a 0.9 system?
Your manner sadly seems to confirm your corporations conduct. -- Champion of user friendlieness and proper information distribution Defender of newbies EVE knowledgeBase |

My question to CCP is very simple.
How are you making life easier for new players in starting system? In fact.. how are you making life possible for them in regards of mining?
Last I knew tutorial missions included supplying the agent with ore. Has this changed?
The naming and shaming is going to continue.
Starting in a complex world and environment such as EVE is hard enough without even slightly more experienced players making your first steps that much harder.
If we want to break the records by thousands we need to be able to offer the new players a starting chance.
Frigates only mining in 1.0 or something? -- Champion of user friendlieness and proper information distribution Defender of newbies EVE knowledgeBase |

Quote: I think you cant blame miners for going into systems without pirates to mine. Mining with 8 lasers AND 10 harvies is much more productive than with 8 lasers alone, as you are unable to use mining drones in pirate infected belts, because the prats tend to target them first. 10 harvies mean abt 30% more yield = 30% more profit.
And they have other 1.0 space (non starter systems), 0.9 space (no NPC drones), 0.8 to 0.5 space (weak NPC drones) to do that.
They should NOT be doing it in the starting systems if they seriously want EVE to become bigger than the fringe MMO it is. -- Champion of user friendlieness and proper information distribution Defender of newbies EVE knowledgeBase |

It's called first impression.
You go out to mine your very first batch for your agent and you are greeted with 30+ cargo cans and have trouble spotting a lone baby veldspar. -- Champion of user friendlieness and proper information distribution Defender of newbies EVE knowledgeBase |

No you seem to say this for yourself using phrases that have long since been made by other players.
If you don't like it don't read it. If you are one of the named and shamed, get your cargo containers out of the 1.0 starting systems. -- Champion of user friendlieness and proper information distribution Defender of newbies EVE knowledgeBase |
