Shame, you could have made just as much if you actually ran incursions, if not more considering how much time you have spent on this endeavour.
Chances are that it's actually more entertaining than running incursions with a rather low chance of failing.

You are boring people.

Aww feeling hurt, shuffles away.

Oh you remember me! :D
You haven't aged a single day. Pretty as always. :)

I got to skill towards the Tornado.... *cough*

How're you doing, besides bathing in richness? :)

Yeah got rich enough now I do my best to keep the cobwebs out, little of everything, Lost out in the NEO but gave them hell Oops, but mostly no more crying over expensive losses.

If incursions get wrecked (actually when, as the cartels are working on that with the CSM), you can just watch a big drop in subs.


I almost unsubbed when they nerfed incursions a couple years ago, lots of my friends did and they never came back. They unnerfed some of it but too late and I had already lost all interest on Eve.

Before the "great incursion nerf" I was hooked, I was a zombie that logged in every day by habit and ran incursions for hours. The nerf broke the habit and since then I barely login anymore, usually a couple times a month to change skills.

I was planning to go fanfest this year, checked prices and said: "meh, i barely play that game anyways"

To any dev reading this: Any new nerf to high-sec solo PvE including incursions and I'll unsub for good. Evil

I guess one way to cope with expensive losses is to have enough money not to care about it.

Now you just need an actually entertaining goal where you can invest the money in.

Like... no idea, maybe the Sol solitarily in Solitude kickass fund!

I already found a corp that is stationed there and pissed me off.
They rejected my awesomeness *cough* because I refuse to participate in voicecoms.

I hear people talk all day. The last thing I want is listen to people when I don't have to.

And it's discriminating against deaf people.

Can't have that.

And I bet I can come up with a million more reasons!


Have you ever been in Solitude?

Sounds like an excellent example to show that developing PvE is a complete waste of developer time. It doesn't create any valuable customers, after all. Lol

Also, I'm thinking of following in Dindin's footsteps and invent a shadow conspiracy surrounding incursions. Maybe that they're cover for some kind of pederast network or the like, but maybe that's just too exaggerated. On the other hand, there's that old line about if you're going to lie, make it a big lie…

pederast network.

I think you're seriously crossing the line with this one.

Of course. That's the whole point, isn't it? Also, considering what we already know about some prominent members of the EVE community, it's even statistically likely that there are a few in there, just to give it that final glint of plausibility. Blink

It's highly likely that a one digit percentage of members are.

It's moderately likely that in every bigger city, in every apartment block, there is at least one.

It is completely unlikely that there is none even in a small town of only a few hundred.

Are you entirely sure that it's really more innocent? Given some of the train model enthusiasts I've encountered, I have my doubts… Lol

Does anyone go out and gank incursion runners? I have never been in an incursion fleet but I feel like all of those ridiculously pimped out ships all on one grid would be too much to say no too. But I've never really heard of anyone ganking incursion fleets.

So anyone have stories of a good gank? Or a reason as to why nobody does it? I know smartbombing battleships would be expensive but the possible loot would be nice.

Takes effort.....something most gankers are short on. Hence the reason they gank.

Never cared about the isk, in fact i could make the same isk/hr right now running incursion as I did before the great nerf. But the nerf killed blitz fleets and those were awesome fun to run. Twisted

+1 Miss the DDD days of quick moving fleets, 90 second contest, get paid or go home not to mention the friends, 12 on coms vs. the anonymity of 40+ on coms. Yeah very good days
