So after coming across this thread. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=19440
I’ve had to complain at people attitudes to mining and its mechanics.
First of all, miners do not want Captcha added into the game, and as far as I believe neither do CCP.
"But it will stop the macroers". No it won’t all it will do is nark miners off so that they will stop mining. I for one do not want to have to sit there and do a Captcha on each one of my accounts, when I’m out mining.
"Well what about adding in a mini game". First of all where in EVE do you actually see mini games? So why do I want to have to play a mini game inside of EVE just so that I could mine the meagre minerals that I require to keep my accounts ticking over.
"So you want mining to keep being boring so you can chat... lol?" Written by Khun SP. Err yes mining is the one part of eve that I can sit there and talk with corpies while making ISK. Readers of the blog will know that I have lived in every part of EVE apart from in the drone regions, and have tried a large amount of ways to make ISK. However the only active way of making ISK that I have found that allows me to sit back and relax while talking to corpies and making friends. I have been in the same corp in one way or the other with the same guy from the start of my EVE career two years ago, because we became friends while mining.
"Any system that makes mining less favourable to multibox and more favourable for those who control one ship at a time will be a good thing for the mining profession as cutting down on the overall number of miners will boost the price of minerals thus making it a more profitable endeavour." written by Steven Fonulique. Now why would CCP want to get rid of a part of EVE that they actively endorse and give special offers for? The majority of multiboxers are miners, so if CCP was to make mining more difficult to multibox they would lose a large amount of accounts due to people dropping their extra accounts.

Hellmar's post
It’s been a bit since my last post, I’ve been dragged away busy resetting up Minecraft servers and also been playing Wurm-online which has a strange pull which has kept me logging in for the last month. In EVE terms for me I have started a new trial account, which I will be subbing with a plex once the trial is up and the skills are trained.
So Hellmar has posted a dev blog found Here. Although if you haven't read it where have you been. It apologises for the recent things that CCP have done and what some of the community has not liked. It also states that they have made changes to the structure of CCP, to try and fix the problems that have arisen recently with the lack of communication with the community.
What has impressed me is not the letter, I never really lost my trust in CCP, as someone who is looking at becoming a games programmer and someone who looks at the games industry from that point of view can see why CCP was doing what they were doing. They need to change to keep up with other games that are currently out there and to keep up with the games industry as a whole. The real thing that surprised me was the community. It took me till half way through page 5 till I found a post that was truly sceptical about the post and who was flaming the letter. This has brought me back from thinking that the majority of the community are complete twats, and only seem to sub to EVE to complain and whine at everything that CCP do to the game, as I have shown over the past few posts on here. Then I found the following post which reinforced my new admiration for the community of the game that I have enjoyed playing and putting my time into for the past 2 years.

If you community doesnt understand how his love of eve may have blinded him some then you dont deserve a CEO like him. I enjoy this game thoroughly. I dont view what he did as making mistakes, just as things that were not clarified. Im defensive about this game myself but patience is a SKILL in eve you must train :)
This sums up my views and is what really was needed in the thread to show to the people who were going to complain why they should just be quiet and stop complaining at every little thing CCP tries to do to improve this game and keep it up to date with the current MMOs out there to bring in new players to this fantastic game that I love.
