No matter which time i look at the ingame map null sec looks mostly empty. This logically implicates these areas are worthless, doesn´t it? Smile

I just want to repeat this totally accurate comment, nice one and spot on.


Only applies to single player comparisons, as I mentioned.

Myopic indeed, to assume that this means nullsec > highsec.

"I refuse to consider all of the facts, just the one that works best for me. Oh, and I'll claim victory repeatedly throughout."


Ahhh, single toon comparisons, and there was me thinking that most people used more than one toon or operated in groups in 0.0, who would have thought that too? But ignoring that, as a single toon I would run a lower level anomaly and hell corp mates did that, who would have thought that, some went belt ratting and in some systems, more than 10 belts that is better ISK then level 4's too, especially with faction spawns and hauler spawns

Keep feeding me the lines please, its getting even easier!

Industry, first of all CCP needs to make the upgrades cheaper and better so that 0.0 stations can be as good as HS ones., if perfect refining rates are possible in HS then it should be possible in 0.0. Make more industry and research slots in 0.0 at the same level as HS , again linked to upgrades. Adjust the tax rates upwards on manufacturing and refining in HS so that there is a balance between the HS price and a JF freighter jumping in from one max range jump. Do all that and industry will be sorted, no need to nerf High Sec industry.

PvE, you can show blinkered people who are in leadership of 0.0 alliances the truth of the matter, and they attack you personally and still come out with the same bull, and I am looking at you Jenn. The fact is that you can earn more in 0.0 as a pleb then you can in HS, notice the word pleb, that would be grunt to you.

Of course lots more people get killed in 0.0, what did that prove, nothing, because how can you compare fleet battle deaths to ganking people in HS and HS griefing by HS war deccers that hunt people who cannot or do not want to shoot back, you cannot, yet you did Jenn, that is bull, again selling a point by a ridiculous comparison, 7 times the death with all those huge fleet fights, what a surprise? Did that make your point or make you look foolish, in my eyes foolish. More ships got killed in 0.0, well who would have thought that!


See what I mean, always excuses.

I'm not imagining testing my mach in null sec (45 mil per tick in angel space = 135 mil per hour is uninterupted in a system with enough of the proper anoms, 30 to 50 mil per tick in sansha , drone and BR space = 90 to 150 mil, 35 to 39 mil per tick in guristas andf Serpentis space = 105 to 117 mil per hour) vs testing the same mach in high sec (200 mil an hour sisters of EVE lvl missions in Osmon from isk and LP selling NOTHING but sisters probes, 200 mil plus farming various cosmos respawning areas and selling stuff like Maruder spurs and outlaw spurs or heads in jars)

That's not even counting incursions (90 to 180 mil per hour just in ISK not counting Lp that people sell in the mailing lists for 2k per lp) or high sec exploration (hit or miss and with some competition unless you live on a high sec island).

And what exactly do you have Dracvlad? A whole whopping 4 BRNS sites and some drone 10/10s (a 3rd of which reportedly sold to other people) and nothing else. You're the perfect example of what I'm talking about, you don't have enough experience to form an opinion, you have no evidence beyond "some people told me", and yet here you are disputing actual evidence from someone who has actually done these thigns in the game.

It's just bloody amazing how dumb that is. And you actually think that all those null sec deaths are fleet fights? Then please show me why EVE kill is full of pve fit carrier kills? Hell, how did I die then? did you even ever read the DEV blogs or QEN reports about ship kills in EVE?

So think you for proving my point, in that high sec people believe what they want to rather than verifiable evidence.

Well that is the only logic I could draw from your point, otherwise it made no sense as a single player can easily run the best anomalies with multiple accounts, who would have thought that?

Back to attempting to shoot the messenger, well clever people will go on Eve-Kill (if its up of course) and check out if I had actually been in 0.0, my kill board shows that quite easily, spot all the dead Goons!

All I have to do is keep pointing out that you think that you can make more ISK doing level 4's than doing anomalies, and this point destroys any other argument you have because people who have done both know its utter rubbish and quite rightly extrapolate from that.

Have you ever been to Osmon? If not, go there if you have the standings. do sister's of eve lvl 4s for one hour. get some probes, convert them and the LP to sisters probes, sell them in Osmon. come back here and tell me how much you make.

Mission for Roden Shipyards or Poteque Pharmaceuticals, look in their LP stores and if you have 2 brain cells you'll see the right thing to sell. Do some of those missions, sell the LP items, come back here and tell me what happened.

Edit, take the same ship to null, do some sanctums, tell me what you make, or forsaken hubs if that's more your fancy.

See again, you don't know enough to have an opinion, and yet you do have one. you're acting as if you lack of game play knowledge is somehow my fault, It isn't.

And all I have to do is keep pointing out that by only making it "me vs you" you are conducting the comparison of incomes on a personal basis, which is not what is being discussed.

The average highsec player income is higher than the average nullsec player income. Average. Not individual highs and lows.

The upper bounds for nullsec are higher, which might make it seem the more lucrative from a single player perspective. But the steady pace of doing PvE in highsec beats it out, whether you want to accept that or not.

Incursions win. By a ton. By enough, in fact, that it brings average highsec income up higher than just about anything.

So you know how much yo can make there, right? Why don't you tell everyone how much that is, and tell the truth, because they'll know if you're lying lol.

You don't even need a shiney ship if you know how to blitz missions. And of course your social skills need to be right.

But that's the point, you can do that in high sec under the protection of concord without even having to have local up, where as the same person using the same ship in null sec has to be watching local and intel and watching out for awoxxers while making less isk.

My Osmon Mach does 200 mil per hour (at the end of the hour i just convert probes to sisters probes and sell them right there, no need even to haul them the 6 jumps to jita). When those things take a price hit, it's 9 jumps to a Roden or Poteque agent or if that ain't working I find a CreoDon of Ishkone agent etc. Not nearly as good as sisters, but up there.

And if you know how to do it right, you'd know. but your problem is twofold:

You are perceiving null sec wrongly (notice how you always mention faction spawns and haulers, you know there is a less than 1% chance of those, right?) and probably misremebering how much isk you can make from certain things (not saying it isn't good isk and sometimes you can get luck,y I made 4 bil from a 6/10 once)

And

Not knowing how to properly milk the beejesus out of high sec. Sure many people don't, but that doesn't mean anything, what's important here is the potentials of the 2 zones.

LP stores (and the stuff that drops in open cosmos areas) aren't random like escalations, faction spawns and officers. The market is, but in 5 years of PVE experience, I've always found it to rebound. The simple, easily verifiable fact is that many null sec people use high sec alts for their isk instead of null sec is because in addition to being safer, if you know what you are doing you can make more isk much more consistently.

Your unwillingness to learn is a severe weakness that I'm hopeful you might overcome. But it's not looking good.

Jenn aSide was ridiculing my experience, but lets look at this, using a Machariel in missions or using a Macharial in 0.0, the truth is that its comparing apples and pears, to meake real ISk in 0.0 doing Sanctums Havens and Foresaken Hubs you use a carrier or two carriers, because Initiative are in bad space, Catch does not make Jenn's experience indicative of 0.0.


I didn't even see this piece of excrement post lol. This guy keeps on giving and giving. This guy makes the mistake of thinking I just lived in Sansha space with INIT? WTF is wrong with this guy

No a carrier isn't going to make as much as Mach, and mach isn't going to make as much as a Vindicator (in guristas or serp space). Fighters have a travel time and while Sentries are better you still won't get the same kind of ticks a Mach in the middle of a forsaken hub or pirate gate haven (where everything spawns close) will.


Quote:
I talked about this point made by Jenn with two friends who are 2003 and 2004 toons, they laughed hard, just recently they were ratting in Carriers in Sansha space and made billions and they did not even bother with doing the Escalations and they were very clear, level 4's which are the bread and butter ratting activities in HS are in no way shape or form anywhere near anomaly ratting in 0.0 which is the bread and butter ratting activity in 0.0. This was exactly my viewpoint.


See again this guy relying on others instead of learning on his own. Just because a toon is old doesn't mean the player behind him is smart. There is isk to be made in null sec, but there is also overhead and danger.

I make my living knowing PVE and laugh at the silly PVPrs getting blown up because they tend to underestime what EVE pve can do.

Quote:

Incursions are a very high income earner but you have to sort out a pimped ship then try to get in with a load of elitist groups, many people don't do that and run with friendlier folks, like anything Incursions have issues and if there is only one in HS then incomes get squeezed.


I tend to run with TVP, not shiney folks although lately I've enjoyed multiboxing with DIN.

Quote:

And to make it clear, I have spent more time in 0.0 then HS and I tend to make a lot of ISK in 0.0 and less in HS, and the reason is that I do not really do Incursions, just every so often, when I am in HS I do level 4's and it in no way compares to 0.0.

HS ratting income for the majority of players is less than 0.0 income, simple as.


And where is your proof?

Actually its your side of the fence that keeps focussing on the 'me' part.

Your point that "The average highsec player income is higher than the average nullsec player income " is incorrect.

I draw attention to your "steady pace" thanks for that line!

I have already detailed the comparison on Incursions noting the issues around them including the elite part and comparing it to top level anomaly running, including escalations, I see no need to repeat that for a throw away comment.

Lol, "the elite part"? I apologize if DIN threw out your shitfit, but incursion communities are hardly elitist, they just don't allow bad players with bad ships to ride their coat-tails to free money.

I am beginning to wonder if you've ever done any. Because, we've already established that any nullsec experience you are drawing on is less than a dozen anoms, and anecdotes from un-named friends who are apparently kings of nullsec, exactly the kind of person I'd make up and then have agree with me if I were losing an argument this badly.

So, have you done any Incursions, either?

Elite part linking back to your high and lows, but feel free to invent whatever context takes your fancy.

Back at the name calling again, I have already detailed my experience and for you to think that I have run so few anoms makes me laugh hard.
