Any hope to see mission running re-vitalized?

Whatever! lol... Refinining mission scrap has very little to do with PVP.

It also has very little to do with mission running. It's a mining skill.

Mission runners are interacting with other players just not directly and via combat, they're buying the ammo and ships players build, the deadspace modules found out in nullsec and then giving back to others with faction ammunition, implants and modules from the LP store.


This is true, mission runners does interact indirectly with the rest of the universe (selling buying stuff and so on is just an example).

However missions are the mechanic clsoest to a solo istanced gameplay existing in EVE. This is why have issues to fit in the general gameplay. Any revamp/improvement for mission system could come only breaking this. And the first ones complaining would be just the missioners. This is why over the years CCP preferred to try new PVE mechanics (see COSMOS, Incursions, sleepers sites) instead of reworking missions

And yes, is not about being forced to team up. here "playing solo" is meant playing refusing any chance or idea of player to player interaction (can be cooperative, hostile or whatever)
