I've made a post about this before and i got a few answer from it. But the main one im still confused about is why the isk has gone down from hacking these sites.

I was told that its due to the market and it'll need time to catch up, now, is that true and if so how long will it take?

I used to make 5mil isk an hour and its now gone down to only a few million isk in 3 hours.

I know it wasnt a guaranteed money making and you could do it in low sec alot better but its not for me and i didnt mind just flying round hacking in high sec. But wondering how long till it's back to normal again?

The problem you're seeing, is that the decryptors aren't showing their estimated market value yet. If you hover over a decryptor in your hanger, it currently says "market price unavailable." This is happening because CCP merged all the racial decryptors into one set. As these are considered "new items" in the database now, it'll take some time for them to start reporting a market price.

In high sec, decryptors are the big money items in data sites. For example, I just looked up Accelerant Decryptors, and people have buy orders out for them at an average of 700K a pop.

So, when you look at the estimated value of your cargo in the bottom right of the inventory screen, none of the decryptors you have are adding their actual value to the number. Until this fixes itself, you will have to manually look up the market prices for the decryptors.

Make sense? I can explain in more detail if I wasn't clear enough.

The 'estimated price' you see for cargo is one big, fat, huge estimate at the bet of times. Price your stuff against actual market values for where you sell and don't rely on the value on the inventory except as a very, very, very rough estimate.
