WoW then all hope is lost

Are you seriously suggesting that it's not that game's fault that overall it has the most boring PvE play in MMO history and that mining -- a necessary activity for the economy of the game to function, mind you -- may well be the most boring activity ever devised by man?

1. Incursions, DED Complexes and Sleeper Sites are very interesting as well as COSMOS and Epic Arcs. Just because You find it boring does not mean the 300k Subscribers do.

2. There are other ways to get Minerals in EVE and a very large portion do not come from Mining. That said Mining is not boring it is Alt Tabing back to empty your hold every 15Min while you enjoy a Movie. It is AFK activity and if your Core Gameplay is this games Passive Income Generator that is your own fault.

 

Mining in Null or Wormhole space is by no means casual.

Null and Wormholes provide increased income for Miners at the risk of having to keep one eye on local.

But really if you are mining there then something is wrong because there are Sactums, Complexes and Sleeper Sites right next door.

Perhaps if your making Ammo in a Wormhole you would Mine but not that much. Sleeper and Exploration Sites take up most of your time. In Null everything is bought from Trade Hubs and brought down in Jump Freighters.

There is no local in WH space, not unless someone speaks in local, and you never speak in local in W-space, its an unwritten rule. I lived in a WH for the latter half of my EVE tour with my ally. Spamming D-scan while you do everything - ratting, hacking, mining, Pi, escalations etc. C5's are rough because  invaders can bring almost anything in due to the latency of the holes. At least in null you have your local, but that's not always going to show you where people are coming in from. 

Mining in empire space, sure - afk then click roll it over into your cans or preferably an orcas hold. If your using cans then you are subject to the age-old pirate pastime of flipping. And don't forget the random hulkageddon that might start at any time.

What are they up to now IV,  V? Don't know if Helicity even plays any longer.

Anything you do in EVE can run a risk that balances out with the reward ratio. More risk - more reward, less risk - vice versa.

If someone wants to mine then that is their choice of play style, and no one can effectively tell anyone what play style is the best, because everyone is different.
