However, as a new player and hearing so much about level 4 missions, seemingly the pinnacle of achievement, it turned out to be ridiculously easy to get access to them. After graduating school thrice I went straight to level 3 (distribution of course, not security) and only had to do a few of those before getting corporation access to level 4. Now I have the faction standings to access any level 4s, and I don't feel like I've earned that.

If this was changed to make the game accessible, I hate it. In another space trading game I really had to work very hard to unlock the best rewards.

L4 missions aren't challanging. They are used as the benchmark grind point because the average player has done them, can do them and they are widely available. L4s in highsec is the "normal" difficulty setting for PVE IMHO. Getting to that normal level and being able to complete it, not blitz, but complete it, should not be that huge an achievement.
Achievement is solo WHing, Shiny incursions and other 150M\hr+ activities.

Talking more,

Flying crazier,

And drinking more

CONCORD response time should be significantly increased in mission pockets. best way to create content.


It would not create content at all. The content you think about is already there. All it would do is tip the balance for the involved parties differently. That's not creating new content, it's rebalancing what's already there.

see, now i'm in a tight spot. on the one hand, i was able to troll you with a halfhearted attempt,which is a nice surprise. on the other hand, your response was so silly that i am tempted to write a serious rebuttal. normally, i would resolve the situation by posting a giant ascii penis, but unfortunately they always get mangled by the font rendering on here. what to do, what to do...

I should buy an Ishtar.

Missions did have a great end to what they could do with out leaving high sec.

They still currently do as of this post. (( Changing soon ))

You spiral standings all the way up then lose your LP to top them off with interbus.

Start a one man corp an you can set up POS's for your alliance and remove them anytime.
Make a good profit and finally make all those years of grinding all 4 factions and interbus worth it.
The only reason to truely make your standings amazing.

Years later once you get the standings they make it so everyone in Eve can setup POS in high sec without the standings.

This is why no end game truely exist in Eve. Because anytime you make some awsome long term goal they kick your feet out from under you right as you finally had enough time to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

They've done it to players on SP factors, implants, ships, certs.

You name it CCP will use it as a carrot on a stick and then throw the thing in the trash right as you finally get your first bite.
That above all else is why it has no "end game" and never will be. If you plan over a year in advance bring the lube.
