Why do you hold sov in a system in null that no one lives in/spends time in? Maybe that's evidence of an empire that's bigger than it should be more than anything.

I do agree that HS helps you. Obviously. It's designed to help. I'm just pointing out that living in a well established null alliance is extremely safe for PvE-ers.

And why someone wouldn't immediately check what a new sig is and report it in intel if it's a WH is beyond me...


Who said we don't. You do know that it takes no time for people running a wormhole to come pouring out it as soon as it pops up. I've personally had an alt in warp to a wormhole with Appetite for Destruction came pouring out of it.

It sounds like you don't have much experience with null sec.

I disagree completely with that point. isk/hr is a per account figure, not per person.


Says who, exactly?

You yourself admitted null ratting can give more isk/hr than incursions. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=399622


You might want to go back and re-read that, I said nothing of the sort.

Look, to me null vs HS isn't about increasing the ISK you can make as much as it is about helping to build an empire. People who care about maxing isk/hr are missing something in the game (in my opinion). To some being in a fleet and working together to take on difficult PvE content (incursions) is fun. Great. To others being solo/in very small groups in deep dangerous space in a player run empire (null ratting) is fun. Great for them as well. I've done null ratting and incursions. They are both fun for completely different reasons, and none of those have to do with isk.


This is the same cop out the original incursion communities made before the 1st incursion nerf. They said "it's not about
the isk, it's about the community!" CCP nerfed the isk, the communities died, exposing the lie.

Fixing the awful combat pve imbalances (centered on high sec but also in places like FW, aslthought it's not that bad in FW anymore, it's still pretty unbalanced) this game has isn't about increasing or decreasing imaginary money in someone's wallet, it';s about fixing a part of the game that is broken. That broken nature leads to bad things.

For example, 4 and a half years ago CCP altered the system in null to "create more reasons to fight". it failed to create more fights. it succeeded in getting many of us to either move PVE alts to high sec to run incursions or make PVe alts from scratch for the same purpose.

Later, CCP exacerbated the problem by buffing the already questionable Sister of EVe LP store even more by (for the 1st time) making a 'pirate faction' series of ships available in high sec. This buffed the unholy hell out of everything else in that LP store, virtue implants, probe launchers, sisters probes, the works.

I exploited these imbalances. I ran incursions in a mach on one screen while running This Navy Raven doing SOE missions. So i know what Im talking about. Iv'e returned to null because null is more fun, but the imbalances still affect all of us.

The point is that these imbalances not only exist, they hurt CCPs efforts in other areas of the game (as i linked above, something that was supposed to drive conflict ended up chasing many of us to high sec and contributed to null becoming renter space). Combat PVE is at the heart of EVE's Risk/reward scheme, and when it's broken, EVE is broken.

Jenn - I'm not trying to fight, not trying to prove you wrong. Just having a conversation. Tone can be hard to read online, so I didn't mean to come across argumentative.


Understand that i've had this same 'discussion' dozens of times, and in them I've watched time and time again some high sec champion ignore testable, observable truth because it doesn't fit with some agenda they have. For the most part i've stopped talking about it on forums and started talking to CCP about it at player events, CCP Quant's 'surprise' at the incursion figures is a sign of the ice melting on this issue.

I lived in null for well over a year (a decent chunk of time given I only started in 2013). First in provi, then with SMA. 90% of the time I was the only person scanning down sigs to check if they were WHs.

I don't think it's a cop out at all. I think what is broken is players perception of maximizing isk at any cost being the end goal for EVE. Maybe I think differently than a lot of people, but I pay zero attention to ISK. I do what is fun. For a while I lived solo in a low class WH with just me and my alts. I was breaking even on ISK while taking more risk of loss than HS or null. That's fine, because I enjoyed the challenge and experience. My point in all of this was simply that null ratting is a very safe activity for anyone paying attention.

I do think incursions and LPs as a whole need to be looked at, though.

I have lived in HS a grand total of two months in my history in EVE. I've never run higher than a level 2 mission. I've lived in null/WHs for all but two months of my time in this game. I don't have an agenda. I just understand the safety of null, and that people choose to live in null vs HS for reasons beyond simple min/maxing isk generation.

WTF?

So if you don't have much experience with the issue being talked about Cidaniel, why are you talking about it? I've be a PVE jock for 8 years, i've literally done everything EVE has to offer (even all the COSMOS missions and complexes). I had a feeling you didn't know much, which is why I asked you about your experience in a previous post.

This is a common occurrence, people who know very little about global PVE disagreeing (from a place of ignorance) about something they could see and test for themselves if they were interested in the truth. How about you go look at the Burner Blitz guide, do some of that for a few months, then get back to us on how things work maybe?

Agreed but at same time i am against removal of team pve from high sec at least....it's just too much good,relaxing, compared to solo farming l4.burners even if later nets you more isk.


Yes I can agree with that. Alot of people would also just rage quit if you removed incursions.

I have a better idea lets just start taxing the 1% of players that do run incursions! concord is expensive, redistribute the wealth, PLEX is too damn high ect!

You know its funny when people say incursions dont make as much as nullsec yet 1% do incursions and make half of the isk the whole of null makes, yeah incursions aint lucrative, i prefer the increasing taxes on npc corps as a whole, the longer you are in an npc corp the higher tax you have to pay, makes longterm npc members a non option and adds risk to incursion runners

Literally the only thing I said about missions so far was that a guy who claims 235m isk/hr across three accounts should say he is making 78m isk/hr because of simple math.

I have run incursions and done everything PvE-wise null has to offer.

My point with missions is if you tell someone you can make 200m isk/hr in missions, it is dishonest because it relies on multiple accounts. It's the same thing as claiming you are solo PvP-ing even though you have an OGB alt. Nothing wrong with it, but be honest that it isn't flying solo.

who cares about missions when you can literally pick up and play and make 200 mil an hour doing incursions with minimal investment and nearly 100% safety?

So you latch on to the one guy with 3 accounts but ignore the multiple times I posted the current burner blitz guide for 1 character?

Again you prove my point.

Also, again, he is not making 78 mil per hour, he is making what he says he's making, he owns all the characters running the content. Same as the guy with the OGB, if it's his alt, he's flying solo. He has one butt to sit in a chair in front of a computer, using alts dosesn't cause butt multiplication.

Maybe not, but it certainly has the potential to cause addition to the butt you do have. Blink

nullsec :

- no concord
- harder logistics
- 80 mil an hour per character (with a carrier ratting, no tax, never losing a ship, good loot, available sites, etc.)
- upkeep and infrastructure costs


highsec
- concord
- travel 10 jumps to the next incursion
- 200 mil an hour per character
- walk in, get money, walk out

If null players would actually shoot other players for the loot, they'd be doing just fine.

Nullsec = good. Bluesec = bad.

I was responding to one specific link you posted and made it clear that I was. Read closer next time.

And where are the HS income figures when you factor in multi-boxing (the guy in the thread you linked claimed 235m isk/hr, but ran 3 accounts, so he only made 78m isk/hr) as well as the time it takes to exchange LPs and sell those items?


I didn't respond to burners or incursions because they are great isk. I've said that already.

I don't consider running multiple accounts at the same time flying solo, and I say this as someone with three accounts running simultaneously. Again, the guy making 235m/hr with three accounts has an income rate of 78m/hr. He is effectively missioning in a small gang, not solo.
