How much has the ISK devaluated since 2010? I have just came back and I'm shocked!
Is it easier to make isk now?

I can complete a level 4 mission that pays 3.5m in completion with another 1.5 in bonus, and 11k LP in under 22 minutes. Add in the fact the loot can sell to reprocessors for ~100m in loot/bounties.

I can get in two of these missions in an hour without much stress at all.

200m
7m
3m
22k * 2k = 44m

I consider myself an average mission runner so thats:
254m/hour

Now with 100% less Troll.

Please name which lvl 4 has 100m in loot and bounties.

Those numbers are off .

Way off, at least post mission loot nerf. At one time you could get that out of Dread Pirate easily but now days its just mostly a bunch of scrap metal. I feel like Charlie Brown at halloween when I salvage but instead of rocks I get scrap metal.

I honestly don't know how it is for the older players, but as a new player, I do think there's some hyperinflation going on. If I compare the tier 1 mission rewards to the prices I see in the market... there seems to be a discrepancy between new player earning capacity and going rates for even the more basic necessities, let alone the slightly more advanced skillbooks (mining connections: 20 million... ouch).

It was always difficult for new players, even old players were new players once and things weren't handed out free back then either. Start slow and suddenly you find yourself earning plenty.

Been wondering this myself a few times.

If my memory serves me right you could buy hurricanes for about 25 mil (?) maybe even less back in '09 and 2010. Warp disruptor II's were well under 1 mil a piece, just to give a couple of examples.

It is SO HARD to run Sisters of EVE Epic Arcs in a Gnosis with small guns and large tank modules.

Your math is way off. I say that as someone who was in the reprocessing business and as someone who has grinded through endless l4's.

The only missions where i can see that work are the ones against other factions and those should regular mission runners avoid due to the standing losses.

I would randomly guess ISK is worth half as much as it was in 2010.

ISK faucets need to be nerfed, very hard (not just highsec either).

Missions, incursions, and wormhole blue loot are the cause. And possibly FW (I have no direct experience with the amount of isk generated in that particular endeavor)

The solution is to explode more ships as they are in the process of farming those things.
