65 mil+ per clone is a bit high and doesn't provide any incentive to engage in regular null-sec PVP.

Discuss!

CCP has said they're not happy with the current system and the topic in general has been discussed to death. I can summarize the discussion for you here:

"It's a flawed system which only punishes loyal subscribers by additional money grinding and acts as a needless limiting factor in certain types of PvP. The only positive side is it acts as an ISK sink, but it isn't a good enough reason to keep the bad mechanic. The system can and should be greatly improved."

"I'm rich and don't care about such costs."

"Your characters are old so it's ok."

"ISK sink is a good enough reason to maintain the ****** system. ISK SIIINK!!!!!"


Really you can have a 50 page thead about this and that's about all you're going to come away with. The discussions are pretty much done, the sides are chosen and now we wait what kind of plans CCP has for the system. It's one of those ancient system, that was never designed with all the knowledge in mind that now exists. It's pretty much guaranteed to get revamped at some point, but there isn't any guarantee if we get minor changes or a total redesign to the system.

Maybe they'll do away with clones and just let you lose an increasing amount of SP for every podding. Keeps the lid on that high SP.Lol
