Welp, the final thing that a high sec status was good for (no Bounties) is popped like a balloon.

A low enough sec status can keep one out of certain areas and all that. But now, a high sec status delivers absolutely nothing. No benefit at all.

Beyond Faction grinding for local POS anchoring, there really is not any need anymore to run beyond level 3 missions, as the rewards mean nothing with that high status. Although I am 9.5 to Ammatar Mandate, I can anchor in High Sec Khanid...and I've never even run a mission for any corp there or Faction. I don't need to (which is absurd in and of itself).

Why bother doing these missions if there is no benefit. High sec status applies nowhere but High Sec.

Not much to do here ingame anymore except make things, so it's definitely time to leave for more exciting horizons.

Loot, Rat bounties, Salvage and Mission Rewards would like to have a word with you....

Yeah, because high standings don't also offer 0 taxes, 0 mineral refining loss, the ability to buy jump clones, access to locator agents everywhere, and increased sec. penalties for the pirate when you DO get attacked by him. And of course, the pirate won't have trouble grinding rats with the new AI to get his sec. standing back up, at all.

Abloo bloo bloo. *sniff sniff* *wheeze* *moan*




HTFU son and stop with all this whining. Your 4 billion isk bounty should tell you how your fellow capsuleers feel about your endless moaning.

Also, can I have your stuff? Lol

Those are the lowest income activities possible at the 3-year player mark. No thanks.

High Sec Status is useless now because you can put bounties on? You could only put them on -1 people in the past so by the OP's lopsided definition of useless having -0.9 was as high as was needed and everything else is useless.

Is the OP huffing paint or somethin?

Incorrect. A high sec status lets you shoot more people before the police come after you.

…oh, and it helps you put POSes down in Tekaima. Blink

0 would be a nice balance there. Keyword is balance.

Balance to what? How has this so called balance shifted from -4.9 Sec requried not to get the bountires that make grinding Sec useless?
