Suggestion: New Mining System

[Amanari_Talar]

Actually, as a designer i am completely against a lot of things in eve. Of them is the high sec afk mining spam.

Rats are there for anti-afk and danger (risk/reward) concepts, nothing else. These concepts an be easily accomplished by other means.

To be honest, Asteroid belts in eve are quickly becoming invalidated, Especially in null/wormhole space and probably should get some kind of design pass.

Look. If you work for CCP, then make a fething devblog, and don’t stealth start arguments in the forums.

But you don’t, do you. Therefor YOU will not be making any decision for CCP design except as a consumer.

@Amanari_Talar

Removing multi boxing for mining completely brings about a huge benefit to eve, one that many people would be happy about.

CCP had the perfect opportunity to remove multi-boxing entirely. They chose not to. They did, however, place restrictions on its use and made it clear that automation is the boogeyman, not playing multiple accounts.

You have shown zero proof for what makes people happy. You are either guessing, projecting, or both.
You’ve shown no metrics whatsoever. CCP is not going to make changes on a whim - well… on the whims of others. I’ll admit sometimes CCP’s own whims seem a bit … whimisical.

Define the parameters for the “health of the game”. You keep using these buzzwords. I’m just waiting for you to shoehorn blockchain into your idea somehow.

Mining can use a bit of a shake-up. But the foundation of mining is sound. Rayba said it quite well a few posts above.

@Raybra_Brahms

The reason that fundamental changes always fail is that there isn’t anything fundamentally wrong with mining and hence no substantial change is ever needed.

And as a player in eve, I think ccp should totally ignore your opinions, because they are biest and unfounded. Then again, Im sure ccp knows this. I know they want to rework this system, they have internally been looking at options for it. We just need to come up with something to help out

Once again… no proof. Zealotry doesn’t make good business sense… or design, for that matter.

Unless you’re an artist. So design me a hat or something, consider it a commission.

I guess the questions i have to ask you is

Do you think multiboxing should be allowed?

Do you think that afk mining should be allowed?

How do you think that people should obtain danger factor from mining?

If you support multiboxing and afk mining, you would never consider the above idea good. The concept was designs specifically to do this, In addition to potentially allowing a skill cap application.

1. Yes.

2. Yes.

3. They obtain it from people blasting them with ships, since this has been going on regularly in all areas where mining occurs i must admit to being perplexed at the question.

4. I dont consider your ideas good ideas and so i find myself perplexed once again why you bothered to make this statement.

id settle for mission type fleets invading the belts, and go mine in a fob system and see if the roaming gang wants you…
