Yup that’s what I always said. The joy of creation is so fun and you make a lot more ISK. But they do got a fair point also. Many indy people never even mine most of their stuff. They just source it from the hubs contract haulers to do everything. Despite that fact I still encourage people to build with the ores they mine. You make more ISK and it has a pride aspect for me at least.
