Yea that looks tempting, but for which faction/empire have the best LP/Isk ratio values?


What does it matter? You are making more LP than someone in FW.



You're kidding right? I've seen the videos on how much you can make using just two SBs in level 4 FW missions, not mentioning how good their LP stores are. With the risk involved, Level 5's can't compete.

i dont think anything compares to fw missions tbh

Domination Nephilim - Angel Cartel

Calm down miner. As you pointed out, people think they can get away with stuff they would not in rl... Like for example illegal mining... - Ima Wreckyou*

You can make really good money with high-sec Incursions and occasionally insane money in Faction Warfare. That being said, I think most of the players in this thread are overlooking the obvious reason for L5 high-sec missions: The Challenge. Even if the ISK/LP payout in high-sec was considerably less than in low-sec players would still run these because they're simply more engaging than even the hardest L4s, and they're actually something teams of players would find challenging.

The vast majority of high-sec players will never be lured to low-sec no matter what carrots you try to entice them with, so the whole argument that high-sec L5s somehow diminish opportunities for low-sec players is moot.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

If you want a challenge, then do them in lowsec. What makes L5s more challenging is that there is the possibility that someone may try to subject you to unwanted pvp. The missions themselves are really not that hard. People use carriers or dual RR Domis to do them because it is quick, not because they are that hard. A Marauder can do them easily. There would be no bigger challenge by doing them in hisec.

If you want more challenging missions, then tell CCP to make more burner style missions.

If you want a challenge from EVE, then you should not be limiting yourself to just missions. PVP is the most challenging activity in this game.

It is also the most expensive and I don't like being broke. To me PVP is a rush, it's like a energized form of entertainment after a good days work, but it isn't something I'd want to do a whole lot of and especially not to make isk. To make isk you need to kill NPCs and atm for me, that is in doing missions. So I don't see any real reason for CCP to not make that aspect of the game more engaging for players not looking for PVP.

how well does that work when your side is in a low tier of FW?

They should really call it GLAvP and not PvP.
Gangs, Links and Alts vs. Player.

This is an MMO. To think there is such a thing as solo PVP where it is 1v1, means you are setting yourself up for failure.
