I got carpal tunnel syndrome whilst trying to find a decent thread to read.

Just saying.

Sometimes you hit the bar and sometimes the bar hits you...

OP, others have already said this but lowering the barrier to entry of PI will only hurt those that already do PI. Economics means that when you lower the effort you input, you lower the reward you get back. You're going to hurt yourself with this change you're asking for. If PI is too time consuming for you (and it isn't that time consuming) then, I dunno, do something else.

This post brought to you by CCP's alpha forum alt initiative. Playing the eve forums has never come cheaper.

Your opinion on the barrier of entry for PI is out of the topic.
(to be fair, I agree with you. but this is not the subjecct)

It's very simple.

tedium / isk * risk = constant

If it wasn't tedious more people would do it and it would thus pay out less.


it continues to pay out less and less until the tedium / isk ratio is restored.

this is not "simple". This is "meaningless", as the notion of risk and tedium are relative.

I definitely would prefer to ruin your life and have a less tedious PI. I actually would enjoy it.

This was not the topic. PI is tedious indeed. Your topic was you have wimp category wrists. And that is not a criterium to change the way PI functions.

For players of a click based game you guys sure know how to whine.

I only post here if EvE is offline. Which means my posts are never well timed.

EAT KRABSAK.

I don't have pain in any other game.

I know masochism is a thing, but really not everybody considers that a game where you have to hurt yourself is fun.
I totally understand that you may have to provide more efforts in order to have better income. But hurting oneself is NOT the same thing as providing more efforts, you have to understand there are differences between the two terms.

I invested SP into alts to try PI, and now I realize that without having a really good income the UI makes PI hurting. several activities in eve reaquire less interactions, are less tedious, have a better UI, and actually provide more money.

While I don't complain about the money (balancing the game is none of my concern), I can complain about the crappy UI that some masochists consider a feature but I think should not be present in the game. Maybe an idea for you next game CCP ? masochism online : just extract the PI UI and let people install PI on planet the whole day. I'm sure they will pay for it.

Sigh ... you don't "have to hurt" yourself. It is your choice to do PI. And I still think you're just a wimp and a cry-baby.

Just so you know, you are insulting. This will NOT make me consider your opinion as valid in any way.
So you expressing this useless opinion of yours is only a waste of time. I think your parents forgot to teach you manners, so I'm just telling you.

BTW you don't "have to" reply me either, so follow your own advice and go finger yourself somewhere else.
