So im just wondering why are data site sleeper spawns harder to face in wh's then regular sleeper anoms. The loot from data sites arent even that great so why such hard sleepers, I could understand if their protecting relic sites because relic sites is nice isk

does anyone know ?"

Because when wormholes were added to the game, it was very much worth it to run the sites. Over the years their value has gone down drastically. There has been no tweaks to the sites in like 5-6 years.

Wormholer for life.

This.

The value of these sites is determined by player driven economics. People have been running these sites for a long time and in excess of the amount of materials from them that are actually removed from the game. The result is a fairly low value for the sites at present.

You're going to get this off of anything with random loot drops. The value in exploration sites is always in aggregate, not in a consistent payout each site.
