Being new to manufacturing but having watched guides, wikis, business twitch streams, being decent at maths&logic and having joined a small industry corp in high sec I have already found some items that will make me a profit. Not much, just 12-15% or so but it’s profit nonetheless.
It however means NOT trying to compete with jita and the players there.
Not if you compare you mining (Assuming you mine) to the value of you IRL job per hour.
Being a new player, I am advising you to simply not play.
Edit: I have to assume you are simply wrong since you have not put any math or logic into your statement. Cows are green, is as much as you have said,.
So would you rather CCP go back to investors who could care less about the game and just the numbers at the bottom of a piece of paper, or have an investor who is at least a gaming company as well? (not saying PA is the best offer)
The purpose of running industry, at a large scale, (not just build your own ship for fun, which is fine) is to make a profit, be efficient, know that your data, sources and market are optimised etc.
Otherwise your business is ■■■■and you don’t even know it.
I make isk just fine to a point where I can afford 2-3 large skill injectors per week.
I don’t mine for my minerals, I DO mine but only to participate in the group activity but it’s peanuts and not worth my time nor do I enjoy it on its own.
Maybe I should explain “Cows are green”: Its an opinion without data or logic to back it up.
I make isk that is not the issue.
“Fun” in large scale industry is efficiency and profit. If you have not built your own calculators on to work out the exact price of your inputs and resulting outputs, you do not know if you are making a profit.
I have made these calculators.
So what I am saying is that his unsubstantiated Opinion is irrelevant to this thread.
