you brought up profits your self in the OP.
Well then you misinterpreted. My only point was that the low isk/hour is made acceptable by the fact you do it AFK/multitasking.
I think it is safe to assume that CCP would look at anything related to #2 in relation to any change they make.
It’s always secondary to gameplay, plus the market balances itself.
Secondly, this is a huge argument against introducing a minigame.
If miners were compelled to play some minigame for 4 hours, most would quit. Ore and gas prices would triple. I think CCP would be more concerned about that than eg a 30% drop in ore/gas prices.
