So I recently took advantage of the $5 resub offer to see how the game has changed in the last 12 months and have read in some posts that you can earn as much as 120m isk per hour running iskursions??? Seriously CCP, why? I used to manage a trading corporation that made 100m per day. But now I can earn 1b isk if I dedicate a weekend to iskursions. What is the point of every other occupation in Eve Online if iskursions blow them out of the water?

Hi, Welcome to February 2011. We've been at the party for a while, so let's not focus on how late you are, but more on the fact that you showed up at all.

1. Yes, you can make up to 120m isk/hr of atk work doing incursions, if you find a quiet system, get 10 other people to join in, avoid having to skip or compete for sites, etc.

2. You made 100m a day. How many hours atk did that take. Also, l4 missions have always made 50-70m isk/hr depending on how well you trade your lp for your atk isk making pleasure.

3. You don't run incursions in an Ishkur, stop making me have to reread the word to realize you're not QQing for an AF buff

4. There are easier ways to make more isk. Try to find them. Hint: Isk Faucets are limited, try instead to make isk eddy and pool in your wallet.

EDIT: I have to edit because that's the only way to stop notifications: Great Forums, CCP

Yah, resub for $5. My subscription expired early this year so I guess CCP threw me a cookie to return.

Because not everyone CAN get into fleets that can make that amount of money. And if you get to many of those fleets out you are fighting for the limited sites, So you don't make that amount of money.

But yer, if you get in with a decent fleet, you can make at least 100mill a hour

You can make 120m isk/h. However good luck in keeping that stream constant.

You can too make a trillion ISK (1,000,000,000,000) in the first 24 hours of your character just by station trading. Some dudes actually ran a tournament about it and the record was of a bit over 23 hours, D/T included.

The pont is, that some people make amazing amounts of money in a shockingly short amount of time does not mean that you can do so too.

As for incursions go, a realistic average with a bit of luck is around 50 million ISK/hour, summing up all the times your fleet will not get the site, plus all the time you will spend looking for fleets, assembling them and jumping systems, plus all the ships you will lose each now and then.

Come to nullsec, you can make almost 5 million isk an hour if yoou fly a superpimped out faction ship, just watch out for reds, neuts, some blues, awoxers, thieves, scammers and bad ceo's. Seriously dude, you need this in your life.

Amidoingitright?

The difference being that one player's station trading profit is just ISK that other players have spent. Incursions, on the other hand, are massive ISK fountains. They create ISK out of nothing, and are fuelling inflation. It's a cruder equivalent of Quantitative Easing.

Highsec incursions need a massive nerf, either to put their ISK/hr on par or below L4 highsec missions, or to make them truly dynamic (and therefore far less easy to farm). It's unlikely to happen though, as that might lead to fewer players using a feature that CCP dedicated an entire expansion to.

You can stay in highsec and bear it up 'till your heart's content, for all I care. But highsec incursions are wrecking the economy. That's why the need nerfing - it's got nothing to do with encouraging people into nullsec (though that would be nice too).
