Or the are the exception and they actually don’t mine AFK. 🙂 ---

Some people mix “similar” with “repetetive”. A Gatecamp might be “repetitive” from the pure mechanics that you utilize, but it’s not boring at all, as you never know who might be a Jackpot Drop, who might be a Bait, who might try to bust your camp or who is actually good enough to slip through. Spending an evening with some beers, some teammates and just camping a gate is actually quite fun, especially if something out of the ordinary happens and someone tries to mess around with you. On the contrary, mining an Icebelt or Ore Site in HighSec is the incarnation of boredom, so boring that even smalltalk is over after half an hour and everyone just watches youtube shorts. Been there, done that. The only reason I sometimes do it for Gas or Gneiss in WHs is that it needs like 15 minutes to fill a Mackinaws Cargo and I can just hop into an own sub-squad, with having one rotating FC in the fleet that stays attentive and warps everyone out as soon as anything happens. So I get “paid” for just doing nothing. And not badly paid if doing it with multiple accounts. Other than that, the activity itself is so boring, I’d rather run head first into a wall repeatedly than spending my EVE time with “mining”. It’s the absolute worst anyone can do “actively”. ---

Just look at where Pectorex prefers to get ganked: > **[Polacy w EVE ONLINE | Corporation](https://zkillboard.com/corporation/98818016/)** > > Polacy w EVE ONLINE: 0 ships destroyed and 6 ships lost. Osmon, Mitsolen, Muvolailen. It is like going to the Arctic without looking at any weather/climate info and complaining that it is unexpectedly too cold there. ---

> [@Syzygium](#): > > On the contrary, mining an Icebelt or Ore Site in HighSec is the incarnation of boredom, so boring that even smalltalk is over after half an hour and everyone just watches youtube shorts. Been there, done that. Some players enjoy mining. I’m not sure what led you to think that everyone has to think the exact same way you do. The only clones that exist of yourself are fiction in this video game. They don’t really exist. You’re not playing Eve in the Matrix with a thousand clones of yourself. ![images](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/c/a/6/ca66d3e3e7eb631d44b4c77950e30cd5f77e6c11.jpeg) Mining isn’t about turning on your lasers and going out of the house for dinner and a movie. Low and Null sec venture miners do that. And Skiff pilots… they mine slowly. Most High Sec miners have other ■■■■ to do and worry about to keep up peak efficiency. Holds fill up, rocks get drained and vanish, drones need new targets, etc… Now, granted- If they’d give Orcas strip miners and remove compression, you’d have a serious case for AFK mining because everyone would just fly Orcas for life. Their hold is so large that it would actually allow a miner to go out for dinner and a movie (or as you love to say, Alt-Tab and watch Netflix or YouTube). Not everyone flies Skiffs. Most ice mine in Hulks especially if there’s an Orca on site. > [@Syzygium](#): > > Spending an evening with some beers, some teammates and just camping a gate is actually quite fun, especially if something out of the ordinary happens and someone tries to mess around with you. Now gate camping is the most boring activity in Eve. And you better not be cracking beers and chatting with your friends or that ship that just came through will be warping to the next gate and already recloaked in under a second. To properly gate camp, you have to spend the entire time watching the grid with your finger on the target button. anything less and that covert ops ship is a ghost. ---

> [@Glenduil](#): > > I live in High Sec The only people that “live” in highsec are the people who are afraid to play the game, but since it’s known as a difficult game they think just playing it gives them some gamer cred. You can state over and over that it’s not, but your max tank Orca only exists because the NPC police make it unprofitable to destroy it.

You remind me of my ex. She would also argue with me about things she imagined I said. She also thought she was a cat some days. Please quote any comment where I say people must play my way, when that way isn’t also the way CCP would like you to play. You really don’t comprehend anything you read. Had you made that comment yesterday it would have won “Stupid Internet Comment of the Year” award. Already a strong contender for this year’s award, though, so good job. 👍 ---
