EVE General Discussion

Removed some off topic posts.

People do run them.

You seem to be looking for groups of people that sit there grinding anoms continuously for hours every day. That's the part that doesn't really happen, at least not outside of renters or multiboxed carriers. People who spend that much time generating ISK from PvE activities generally have dedicated alts, often outside the coalition, for doing so. As others have said, there's much better ways.

Anoms are something I undock for to get some quick liquid ISK when I have nothing better to do. Maybe I log in while drinking my morning coffee, run one anom, then go to work. Or rat with one character while I run around looking for engageable targets with the other, or out in a TiDi fleet.

If people did not run them at all, the system's military index would be at 0 and there would be only one or two anoms in system. But military 5 and the presence of 20+ anoms does not mean you should expect to find 10 people there actively doing PvE content at all times. The income per hour would have to about double to get some of the ISK making alts from elsewhere to move back to null, but that would break the faucet game.


Here is how this ties so closely into renting.

There is member income, corporation income, and alliance income.

The Alliance needs income to pay for sov bills, upgrades and SRP.

The majority of null space is crap value to the line member. These are combat focused pilots here to take and defend space. The income they can make here in downtime, using those skills, sucks compared to the rest of eve. So a substantial part of line member income ends up in the form of alts and is not effectively taxable by the corp or alliance.

The value of the space comes from the natural resources. So the most valuable ones (moons) get taken by the alliance to pay for these expenses. The space deemed useless to line members is then rented to people willing to pay for it as a further source of income, because why not?

This is true when you think of ratting as an individual activity. However sov nullsec itself is not an individual activity and when you're fleeted with friends doing PVE its far less of a risk. So occupancy sov can happen but, unlike ill-timed power projection nerfs you have to have engaging scalable PVE in place before you decide to switch to it. Other wise those of us who heed the advice from the financial wizards of our coalition will continue to do what has been recommended, have highsec alts for isk.

Your thinking is 1 dimensional. Also hot dropping is very overrated right now and will be more so in the future.

You don't exactly have the experience to back up any of your "the way it works" posts being a Member of the Royal Amarr Institute. Other dude just look at my post a few posts above this.

The CFC also treats their renters like crap, which is a large part of the reason many people vastly prefer to rent from BOT/NA, beyond just the safety of the space.

No you haven't pretty much everything you say about the topic of nullsec can be ignored. At best you have the understanding of reading some articles.



How so?

Hint, if you want to claim you have experience in something you shouldn't post on an alt that has no evidence of ever doing what you claim.

Then you get to accept that your posts have less gravitas than those of us who can support with experience.

Harry Potter, you got a lotta 'splainin' to do.
