You literally just used the same tactic on me yet you’re calling me out for firing back you. However realistically I believe my take on your mentality is far more logical than anything you’ve used to refute me so far. Eve Online mining is cookie cutter based and poorly designed. That’s exactly why our in game economy has went down the toilet. Remember how FUN rorquals were? I do. But you’re saying that gameplay is fine and that there are alternatives if people don’t like it. Ok, where are the people using those alternatives? Oh right, there are none. You can claim to mine solo in null sec but really that might be a funny joke you play with here and there but you’ll always default to your multibox mining cause that’s what fattens your wallet up.
The ships and mechanics aren’t there or fleshed out enough for anyone to ever commit to a pure solo mining playstyle so like you and others have stated it’s an activity where you put in 5 times the effort and get less than half the profit… of just 1 mining alt. Rewarding gameplay! And thus everyone just goes back to their hulks and Orcas/Rorquals.
I’m trying to make a request for a change to be made so that’s not the default. Now what could’ve happened is that you made suggestions on how to change my idea. Maybe it didn’t need tank at all, or drones for that matter. Maybe it could just be pure stealth based and increase the risk even further. Maybe it doesn’t need a jump ability cause stealth is fine as long as you’re good at flying stealth ships. You could make plenty of suggestions or even come up with ship/mechanic concepts of your own.
But no, you chose to completely deny change all together. You and plenty of other Eve Online players are exactly the same. And you know, try to claim whatever you want about me, but multibox mining, especially in nullsec under comfy protection from an alliance or corp, is the most carebear of them all. And if you’re honestly content with that being the game for miners then your opinion is as valuable to me as mine is to you.
