EVE General Discussion

Years ago, 0.0 ores were quite a bit more profitable to mine than high sec.

Unless I did something really wrong in the calculations, it looks like high sec mins are 170-190 ISK per m3, B and C are 180-200, and A is 220-230.

Really? Scord in high sec has the same value as C from 0.0?

Nerf Highsec

Why do you want high sec to be as empty as low? Why do you want 2/3rd of players to drop their accounts?

Prices are low on the Nullsec ore because the risk to mine them is next to zero. Of course the Nullbears will never see this as they hide in their massive alliances.

I did spend some time in 0.0. Yeah... since we'd doc up (or station up) whenever a non-blue was in system... it was pretty safe.

This is basically the argument made to me by my friends that are still 0.0.... That the war on high sec has made 0.0 safer than high. I should "come on out". Meh. I don't like the politics or the titan conga lines.

Welcome to the reason people are pissed off at null vs hisec balance. It goes further than that, too, touching upon most areas of industry. It is also much less profitable than you see, because in nullsec there are more things which can prevent you from mining: CTAs, roaming gangs, and other stuff.

Ed: while this may have been impacted by the "war on hisec", it already was the case that it is easier to make more money in hisec than in nullsec, which is why the whole "nerf hisec" rage started in the first place.

What would actually happen is that CCP would cut costs to match the lower revenue stream, reduce the number of servers in the farm, cut back on the number of dedicated T1 lines hooking the internets to their server farm, etc. You'd get the same "network resources per player", just fewer players and less total resources.


Why is a high sec mining op with dozens of players involved, or a mission running op with a half dozen people running missions together, less multi-player than sitting on a titan doing a conga line waiting to see if the enemy will commit their fleet to a fight?

shush....dammit your going to spoil everything

Well let's have a look at drone poo.

12 of the alloys (all of them) refined into minerals that can be mined in hi-sec.
4 of the alloys refined into minerals that cannot be mined in hi-sec
1 of the alloys refined into megacyte

When this was removed, supply for the hi-sec available minerals decreased a great deal. Thus the prices for these minerals increased.

There's various ways to increase demand on minerals that cannot be obtained in high sec, or as most null sec residents would like to see, reduce supply (refining nerf) of hi sec available minerals. Funny how the problem arises from a reduction in supply, and the solution proposed is the same thing as what caused the problem in the first place.
