First: My market is not dead. I do buy and sell orders and have enough transactions.
Second to the static vs dynamic ore spots I see pro and cons for both.
As I allready expected direct after introduction of dynamic spots, my time spend on mining dropped significant. If I have 60 mins online time, it is not reasonable to search next ore spot, drive there scan, mine and haul home. With static spots it was normal for me to mine even if I knew I'm only 30-45 min online.
For member of larger corps the situation changes, as it is no deal to join a mining op.
On the other hand there is now a reason to be good in geoscanning. In older times, I used no geoscanner in 9 out of 10 mining ops at all, which was not as intended I guess.
And the dynamic spawn now has a better scaling of mineral spots to miners on the field. With static spots I remember times when spots where always in light green until after each patch they were filled again to red.
