Economy in 5.2+

[Lythrilux]

You don't need to change a good thing from the past. We were happy before, but not now. Why change that with the NU , who asked for this ? Surely not us.
The game was balanced already before, it does not need this.

For some credentials, I had run many mining ops on Core/APM with Iridium/Azurite and JM with Scrap/PScrap back in the day. I had been away for about 4 years until last week and I'll admit at first numing was hard to grapple with and understand but thanks to fantastic help from people like @Enko I've managed to wrap my head around it and can vouch it's superior to the old style of mining.

Change can be scary but sometimes it really is for the better. I can't speak for all commodities but from my perspective if numining is introduced everywhere it will be a net benefit. It turns mining into a much more interactive and far more communal experience.

My question to you is, what exactly about it do you not like? I also see a lot of complaining but not really much expansion as to why it's bad.

Never seen bad comments about it but from three people on the forums. Maybe it'd be a good idea to have a separate thread about the mining though since that is not entirely affecting the economy. It kind of does by extending mining time and thus increasing price but that's it.

---" It kind of does by extending mining time and thus increasing price but that's it" ---- You just brought up the biggest concern with this new mining system -- "time". I understand that someone doesn't have a job, a wife, children, or any life at all and can spend 24/7 playing video games. And just because people don't bother to write doesn't mean there are only "a few". I agree with Ramke that the new system develops more team play, but that's also the only good thing about this thing. But considering our already small player base, it will eventually lead to taking Hege and doing it alone. And with this whole "new mining system" I see that the bases are empty of mining products half the time. It was supposed to be fun and somehow it doesn't seem to be.

The developers can just adjust csu as appropriate. In terms of time, there's ultimately not really much difference between this and what we had before. I guess maybe at worst there's a skill issue with how efficient people might be at it lol? Otherwise it really doesn't feel that taxing in terms of time to me and feels just as good if not more at producing activity than the old system.
