You have one bizarre view of instant gratification.
If you think the weeks of work researching, then getting the data core skills, the research management skills, then the grinding of standings to get access to L4 R&D agents for multiple chars is "instant gratification", you are clearly out of your mind.

Also, try setting up some industry where in some cases it takes months to research blueprints to profitability, and then get back to me about "instant gratification".

Idiot.

Some null sec regions don't need the bounty's nerfing, syndicate being a prime example as anyone who's ever lived there, the words isk making and syndicate don't belong in the same sentence (quote from brent, rote) wether the planetary ring mining idea will change that remains to be seen.

Yeah, it's sad. I only recently set about to actually grinding all the standings I needed and getting some alts up to R&D along with me. Now, right about when I'm seeing the point of return...it's going away. I'm still going to max out as much as I can and grab what I can before the change, but it's disappointing. Just about every time I find a way to make some ISK to support my spaceship smoking habit....something crushes my plans.

It's cool though. I'll adapt. Maybe I will make 80k an hour instead of 150k an hour per toon. Maybe I'll have to do something else. Maybe I'll take my little frigate nightmare and join the militia. Was something I'd thought of anyway just to get a hisec-pos up.

That said, I think I'll still be able to make ISK even if the R&D thing falls through completely. It's my secondary. My primary is a T2 production toon I'm brewing. Not knowing wtf I was doing I researched my BPO's before inventing...which was apparently a waste of time...but still. About 5 months from startup, and I was scatter brained about it like always, I'll be pushing out T2 ammo and making 200k an hour or so. When I get into the large ammo's and modules and crap I'll very likely make quite a bit more.

Even I can't loose 200k in an hour getting killed repeatedly.

So while my plans to become rich might soon be destroyed, as always, I'm sure I can still have fun. Besides, you get more out of it when losses hurt.
