Missions & Complexes

At first I thought we had hit a stroke of bad luck with combat sites in our C2 and C1 Wormholes, but the problem has become increasingly difficult to shrug off. I have personally ran 8-10 sites solo and totaled less than 40 mil in total reward. It's pathetic as before I was making close to 110-145 mil after splitting the loot between corpmates. The key profit being nanoribbons in C2's leaves us scraping through 4 or 5 hangars or libraries without find so much as a single nanoribbon. It's becoming pathetic and frankly depressing.

My question to the community: Is anyone else experiencing this ****, please let the voice be heard if so.
As for the Devs: Did we get nerfed? This is a primary source of income for our new players as they learn the ropes of New Eden and we teach them all the PvP skills to be able to sustain themselves. Without it, we've got very little in terms of isk, save for the PI ops which are now the solo source of income for the POS we have running (at 100% effiecncy due to recent Crucible expansion)

Please, for the sake of the children, can we have our appeal for a new singularity space cow?

This.

I ran an easy C1 yesterday (perimeter ambush point) and got 11 ribbons from it.

Ran one today, 2 ribbons.

Solution would be to move to a real WH.
Nano drops from c1-2 sites are junk, always have been.

The less people do the anoms in your region/constellation and the more accumulate in quiet systems, the less income you'll eventually get. Then someone will stumble in and grind 30 sites in a day and they'll start respawning into your system.

The same goes for gravs and ladars. Often our C4 would go weeks without seeing any, then we'd have 3 a day for a week.

Appreciate it, it's been a little rough for the guys. Been going on for several months now, seemed a little more than a 'site trough' as we get those every few months. But it was more like a drought. I mean nothing...10 sites in 1 week and not a single ribbon...I mean this has been on since Mid October/ Early November.

Glad to hear we're not entirely alone though. You might be right, there has always seemed to be several pattern sets in relevance to exits and sites. Maybe you're right...just hope it ends soon.

We've been doing WH's of all sizes for years. Profit is in the PI and c4-6 raids. For our beginers here it's been more of a drought than a dry spell.

And you know what's the best thing about randomness? Eventually it averages itself out ;)

Just checked the last few payouts for out C4 anos and every time it came down to approximately 100 million per ano flown with a variation of maybe 5% up or down and payout after 30 to 60 anos.

I daytrip C1s and C2s for isk-making. I've never had a problem with MNR drop rates. Need to do it again soon, I need to build a stupidly expensive ship for the lolz :)

^calling bullcrap on this...



^this made me spray my coffee on my monitor
if you really think that is the case, you need to learn how to run WH sites.

Just going to throw it out there and suggest that you haven't successfully attempted large-scale PI operations.

We're talking C1's and 2's if you were reading. As such is the case, perhaps you should try and understand how to maximize PI.

We make billions in our P3's and P4's. Problems is that to do that takes some serious day to day dedication. Not time, just comitment. Nobody want's to be that guy without at least a portion of contribution from others. PI is the main profit in low end WH's.
