I know you're quoting a movie and mad that your barge was blown up at some point, but I won't let that comment stand alone beside this masterful piece of writing which exposes a critical flaw in EVE: part of the reason CODE exists in the first place is that mining is an absolutely brainless activity which incentivizes being AFK, since there's literally no gameplay action to take 99.992% of the time (unless you'd prefer not to get blown up - in which case there's plenty to do. Follow the CODE...)<br /><br />If mining involved actual gameplay then far fewer miners would do it while AFK or via botting. See data sites - the gameplay there was improved quite a bit in the past. I'm not sure if there are any bots that can run data sites successfully, but it seems like it would be far more difficult to automate than mining.<br /><br />Mining desperately needs a similar treatment--to be turned into a mentally-engaging activity which requires heuristic thought and some degree of reflexes and provides rewards which increase commensurate with the quality and richness of those inputs from the player--but I doubt CCP would change mining gameplay if it meant that many dozens of multi-boxing miners could no longer successfully mine on more than one account at a time, as they would then stop paying or plexing their enormous account clusters and go back to being single or dual account players. It seems to me like multi-boxing carebear miners probably pay a signficant chunk of CCP's bills, so it's not surprising to see them get some special treatment and coddling from CCP when they cry and beg for it nonstop and threaten to quit or commit suicide when someone blows up their ships while they AFK mine, entering in the ballpark of 100 keypresses per hour or less.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359240470593955814.post-44782683053288389622012-08-09T16:07:32.359+00:002012-08-09T16:07:32.359+00:00What you've just posted is one of the most ins...What you've just posted is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read.
