EVE General Discussion

There is multiple steps which are going to be taken most increasing Sinks for optional services.
if that does not work the most drastic step will be cutting the faucit


I think a big variable will be Dust.
As this will be filled with isk sinks initially and will depend on that variable what really needs to happen

These are about the numbers I figured soo the ISK/hour is much better in NULL ( where they are most often in the depths of SOV & almost completely safe thank to cyno jammers ) lo sec deserves a greater ISK buff because theyare not as safe as HI or safer NULL SOV IMHO

Actually it does.

CCP has been steadily marching to the "group activity >>>>>>>>> solo activity" drum.

Since incursions are group activity any increase in economic input must be offset by a decrease somewhere else... ie ratting/missions/anoms

I could not agree more, let us not confuse ISK making with Null Sec Corps wanting more people in their Corps. If Null Sec politics did not all too often look like two school girls pulling each others hair, we might find more people there. As I said before, if you build Corps with a broader appeal more people will come.

As for ISK, I think good game design is where risk corresponds with reward, but at the same time we need to allow for different play-styles and therefore Hi-Sec, Lo-Sec, and Null Sec should each have sufficient rewards to allow players to interact in-game with whatever space they choose and be competitive from their chosen space.

I think it very important that people in Null Space abandon the popular presupposition that they are the only players that matter. Null space is not and never will be for every player, and the game and game rewards need to support that. That is just good design and good business on the part of CCP.

so if 10 dudes ratting sanctum in null, they should have more income than hisec incursion??

though I seriously dont see it works that way in null at all

have you ever been to wh, seriously???

I bet you think wh has local and intel channel

Farmed one like a boss for quite some time thanks.
Its not like there are no tools to let you know when someone entered or left your system

I also agree, it has nothing to do with the wealth in 0.0 or Lowsec. Some of us have better things to do with our time then be slaves to someone elses empire.

The simple facts have been, larger alliances purchase their isk, legally using Plexes or RMT. Therefore they dont have a need for highsec carebears and do not want to support them unless they are apart of a pet alliance playing a monthly bill. What CCP needs to do is encourage more players to want to work together and do big things, the only thing these players lack is funds to challange big alliances holding all the wealth.

Hopefully the 15 trillion isk RMT withdraw by CCP will help balance the isk equation!

If the payout went down more than 15-20% I would consider quitting Eve. If CCP did this I would be definitely quitting Eve and never coming back.

Incursions and the new friends I have made running them are the only things keeping me playing this game right now.

The only really big issue comes down to access. And hopefully changes to security staindings. Harder to get supplies into nullsec. Lowsec, if you aren't too negative can still stage highsec plus no bubbles or bombs. With sec hits and changings hopefully to that, less chance of a podding maybe. Null can run higher expenditures with necessity for pods, more expensive and difficult to get gear, etc.
