Wormholes

For no real reason at all I'd like to share why I stay in the C2 and not go out to HighSec to do more lucrative things.

I like it there. I don't play to earn ISK. I play for enjoyment.

Some people find highest ISK efficiency the enjoyment and that is fine. Other want other things. It is often something we forget. It's a basic fact that different stuff makes different people tick. Just as some percieve the risk to high, some of us embrace that risk. Perhaps it will be a good fight? Probably not, but a horrid gank. But meh. Do onto others, and recieve in kind.

I enjoy living in wormhole space. I currently live in a C2.

The problem with wormholes is that while they're supposed to be activities for coordinated groups, the smaller ones don't meaningfully support group PVE at all, because the ISK/hour/person is so poor.

An average day has new 2 signatures or anomalies in the home hole, and we see an average of 3-4 per other hole in our chain.

The problem is we can run all that content in less than 15 minutes per site, often less than 10 minutes per site. This gives us maybe an hour or two of content at most. Rolling takes us about 15 minutes plus a few minutes for scanning, and thus halves the rate at which we can run sites.

Dividing by the number of people, when we have more than an hour or two to play (e.g. weekends) we'd be better off just jumping to hisec and running L4s, since those can easily sustain 40M isk/hour indefinitely, per character, without any thought or meaningful difficulty/risk. C2 sites can definitely burst above 40M/hour for a player, but they can't sustain those income rates.

IMO, a buff to wormhole income would be good for everyone, since more players in wormholes = more content = more PVP, which is something most of us enjoy, especially groups of players.
