This thread comes both as a request to CCP and as a response to "CCP - End Highsec Incursions" thread.

Personally, I think the system is OK "as is". However, If CCP ever want to reduce the ISK faucet, they can simply nerf the first 3 sources of isk by 5% or 10%. ALL 3, not just 1 of them. If Eve's economy really need some help with the ISK Sinks vs ISK faucets balance, I have no problem seing my profits cut by 10% or simply pay real money for the subscription.

However, be carefull with the "Double standard". If you want to nerf a specific isk faucet, which is the 3rd ingame, why not simply nerf the 1st one ? Or the 2nd one ? The answer is simple: The OP of the thread and those supporting him are trying to use a double standard and ask CCP to nerf what THEY don't like, not what's fair.

If CCP decided to nerf ALL the income from ALL the isk faucets, wonder if they ( the creator and supporters of CCP - End Highsec Incursions" thread.) would agree. I'm sure they won't and start crying even more about how the Evil CCP nerf this and that and remind everyone about the "Eve is dying" meme that's around for years. I am highlighting this just to show you the hypocrisy of such players. Personally, if CCP decides to nerf EVERYTHING even by, let's say 10%, if it helps the game's economy, I'd still support it !

In conclusion, if the game needs help, we should ALL support it and suffer the consequences, not just a fraction of eve's population.

THE 3RD ISK FAUCET IN THE GAME IS INCURSIONS WHICH MAKES HALF THE AMOUNT OF ISK AS THE WHOLE OF NULLSEC WHILE ONLY HAVING 1.5% OF THE PLAYER NUMBERS.

NULLSEC NEEDS INCOME TO FUNCTION WITH SHIP LOSSES, AND GENERAL LIVING, HIGHSEC INCURSIONS ARE RUN TO PLEX ACCOUNTS THAT IS ALL WHILE SUFFERING NO LOSSES.

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*

Actually, it's because the 3rd one has only a fraction of the participants of the 1st and 2nd ones. Surely you can understand what that means right? The income/person rate of incursions is incredibly high compared to any other PvE activity. You think it's "OK as is" because you are gaining from it, that doesn't mean it's right. Personally, I think if you want to make incursion level income you should have to be out of concord protection. The amount of income can stay, but you should have to be in lowsec or nullsec.

Troll-posting will only get you reported, so please stop it.

@Lucas Kell - I understand and i agree. However, moon-goo in 0.0 pays extremely well too and people are asking CCP to nerf it for years, claiming that the blue donut and current PVP stagnation is related to that, more specifically that alliances are cashing in the huge profits from the moons, but instead of using the ISK for SRP Programs, they chose to go blue with each other, thus no need for blowing ships. Shouldn't that be removed or nerfed too, based on the same principle ? The profitable moons are being help by a very small fraction of people and they generate huge profits...

What i keep seeing is: 0.0 players protecting their 0.0 content and income. You want to impose, by crying at ccp, your OWN playstile even in the space where you don't have sov, that's hilarious.

On the other hand, I'd have no problems at all if incursions would get nerfed. What I'm saying is they should nerf other income sources too, to balance the isk faucet/sink even better !
For example:
- remove or nerf moon-goo , based on your idea that huge profits should not be gained by a very small fraction of the game
- nerf 0.0 bounties so botters won't be inclined to rent space and bot 24/7 with semi-afk ishtars, carriers or supers
- nerf mining, so high-sec miners won't be inclined to bot either ( it's been a mining bot for years out there )
- and soooo on.

Basically, we can find a reson to nerf everything, if we really search for one. The only VALID concern would be to reduce the isk faucets and/or increase isk sinks to keep a healthy economy. Everything else, like nerfing only a specific activity just because you're jealous or it doesn't match your playstile is pure hypocrisy

this thread isnt going to go anywhere, its just a repeat of the "end highsec incursions" thread, everything else has been balanced so dont think your op incursions wont feel the nerf bat pretty soon.

There will always be double standards, because most people tend to put their own personal agendas/interests first.



But this thread is likely to go nowhere.
