The market will take care of it, as prices go up more people will start mining and then prices will start stabilizing again. Why do people always get over dramatic with this stuff?

- Mining is inherently dull and there's many many many easier ways to make considerably more money.

Yes, because when mineral prices skyrocket because of mineral shortages, mining will still be the same profit, amrite?

I think you'll need to take an Economics 101. Specifically about supply and demand. :)

Most experienced miners tell me that even when mining was good it could only make them about 40 Mill an hour. 40 Mill an hour is nothing, I **** 40 mill an hour.

So, no you're not right. There are far better and easier ways to earn money. I guess you need to take basic maths.

So does this mean you're not going to be out there mining? I can hardly see why squatting all day long would be so much better.

40 mil ISK an hour, for mining, an activity that scales far better than missions. Incursions will be nerfed, missions are a lot more effort than mining, and you cannot run 5, 10 or 20 accounts doing missions, while 10 accounts mining is easily achievable.

Bubble the gates and have scouts. If any hostiles show up, fleet warp your hulks to a POS.

If nothing else, we're in for interesting times.

Just wondering since:

- Most of the bots are gone
- Drone Mins are apparently going
- I haven't seen a hulk mining in months
- The few miners there are out there get regularly ganked
- Mining is inherently dull and there's many many many easier ways to make considerably more money.
- EDIT: OH yeah and reprocessing got a kick in the teeth by CCP a while ago too

Someone needs to pick up a mining laser cus I'm sure as hell not doing it, ans I have ships ans Mods to build.

I know where im getting my minerals from.

A while ago i volunteered to work for the mentaly handicapped association and i taught a bunch of ******** kids to mine all day long in EVE.

I then buy them from them at about half the cost and inform their carers that they are have made great strides in becoming socially integrated people.


So im doing my bit for the community and they are helping me with my extensive building programme

Win win

I am telling everyone i know , if they have trit , horde it , once CCP removes alloys trit will easily hit 7 isk/unit ... but deep down , I can see it hitting double digits....

Also, it's pretty funny that people fail to recognize that the mining profession is self-regulating :D

Yeah, I mean gankers don't get a say in it at all.

Mining is inherently relaxing and there are many more click-intensive ways to make a little bit more money for the effort.

Reprocessing is fine. In fact, I'd say reprocessing needs a good whack with the nerf bat (why do navies have better quality refineries than mining corporations?).

Mining's fine. As mineral prices go up, more miners will get their fleets out of mothballs to make some easy ISK.

My best guess, mineral prices stabilize when mining hit 110m isk/hour. That's going to be an hell of a ride getting there though (and not going to do anything good for the game).

So, your complaining that botting is going, minerals wont all come from one source (drone regions) and that mining will once again be a proffesion worthy of players time?

Thats sort of odd.
