The term "relic" really doesn't make up for these sites anymore. Relics aren't supposed to be numerous. If everybody would have a relic in their hangar, they wouldn't be relics anymore…
Yet, even though people aren't finding these now, it is due to the fact that they have already been farmed.


Maybe but there's the fun factor too. I started playing last week and I've read something like "you can be an explorer". All I find is silly combat sites and wormholes with reckless pvp engagements. I was kinda excited about having stuff to do that wasn't mining, because my character sucks, but all exploration is about is "here, fight these drones/serpentis/pirates" because relics sites have been plundered. So long, non combat options...

Hence the term "exploring"!

Many an explorer spent a lifetime looking. Some found nothing, some found everything, some found some things.
Exploring is about the journey as well as what you find at the end.

As soon as I can outfit my little frigate with some equipment to give me a better chance of surviving I intend to start lowsec and nullsec exploring far, far away from home (Highsec).
