Mining is fun the first 4-5 times ... then it becomes a pain, I stopped mining all together, by that I mean I passed a zone and brought up the mining UI and just placed a drone if there was anything. I didn´t bother to go left or right searching for better spots.
After EOS I dont even bother about mining, resources obtained are insignificant and in most cases I never get the good stuff. Too much effort too little rewards. I am also not someone that needs to develop every weapon in the game, just my primary secondary, armor n melee, so I always end up with a ton of resources. Planet scanning's worst. So much effort with little reward. At least in ME2 I get surprised sometimes when there's some poor pirate minding his own business and a bored human spectre came along.
