Unless you are flying an incursion capable bling boat the Hisec level IVs peak at about 100 mill max per hour blitzing if you get a run of lucrative easy blitzed missions HOWEVER actually average out at more like 50 mill per hour over a longish period of time.

In terms of PvE content this is:
- more than mining
- less than PI if the PI is done well
- less than FW
- considerably less than incursions
- vastly less than industry/research/station trading

The list goes on but I will refrain from posting it to not derail this nerf high sec thread of yours.Blink


Marketing and scamming are 100% player based activities. They produce relative amounts of ISK based on several factors, all of which are player based. Missions produce a constant amount of ISK and are not influenced by inflation or deflation.

Well the LP component and loot rewards can be.

But you are indeed correct about the mission rewards and bounty.

Either you are really bad at wormholes or you are superhuman at missions... I used to own a C3 wormhole and made 350 mil/hr. With L4 missions on blitz run mode in a 1400 dps rattlesnake I can just barely make 60-70 mil/hr if im lucky.

I'm not so sure about your first question, I would guess for every honest PVP fight in a plex, there is some poor bastard getting caught in a FW-mission.

Don't forget farming plex is still possible, even after the latest changes. Warpstabbed farmers still skew the average for PVP-content almost back to equilibrium between missions and plexes.

And your second question is a logical impossibility, since C3-wormholes pay better then HighSec-level 4 missions. So the answer to that question would have to be something like: Error?!

But since we're not confused computers here I just shake my head at you. After all, when I can randomly enter a C2-wormhole in a cloaked ship, do a relic site and collect enough loot to get me a better payout then even the best level 4 mission had to offer, I can't really see a C3-wormhole being worse.

You can't seriously expect me to look through everyone's post history to get a sense of how they really feel on a subject. There was no indication whatsoever in your post that you were being sarcastic.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

Indeed, and that is why I'm going to sign when sarcasm is activated from now on, as I said, it's a dead science nowadays. Blink

Anyways, was a good response to the biased and clueless OP ranting, being it sarcastic or not, don't you agree?
