Is this the patch to fix faction warfare? 
Well after reading the patch notes I don't believe it is. Yes it does combat plex farming which is all in all a good thing however it opens up a whole new issue.

Pre inferno a select majority of us used Fw missions to earn lp. That lp was transformed into shiny faction fit ships for roams. In comes inferno and an increase that was behound anyones expectations however something tells me it was purposely done to produce interest in a near forgotten area of eve.

Now comes the nerf patch however as of yet we cannot tell what the lp store prices will be however the ones that seem to get the poorest deal out of this are our mission runners. With increased prices yet no loyalty point gain?

Now before a high sec carebear comes in and says its unbalanced anyway let's point out
1. You can nearly afk most level 4's if you wanted. 
2. The chances of you dying from pirates/ganks is about 0.1%
3. You do not have to travel 15 jumps through enemy space to complete your objective

Now I'm sure 30% of you will troll, 65% of the replies will be trying to troll and 5% won't care however I would like to know what you think?

Don't use a risk vs reward argument as a defence for the ridiculous amount of farming that has occurred.


What risk was involved here? a T1 frigate !

A T1 frigate can / could earn any FW pilot more than 12b isk per week, easily. Don't cry now the tap has been turned off.

This is not meant as a troll post, merely pointing out how the FW rewards have killed Eve prices in recent months.

I applaud CCP's attempts to bring this bu**sh1t to an early end

As stated I don't care about the farmers, good riddance however I care about my mission running

They didn't need to nerf the mission runners who have to fly into hostile lo sec to complete missions at the same time though did they.

Not much risk with a 2 second align time CNI, was blitzing missions and getting around 900mil an hour with a 4k isk to lp conversion.
