Improving occurrences of k162

It is great to hear that Hyperion has a WH focus, and so far the changes are all looking great!

One thing I have observed in WH space is that K162 are fairly uncommon during weekdays, especially for these past three months..

It also used to be that when doing anomalies, the odds of getting a new K162 in the C you were in was going up significantly. This is empirical data but in the past year I mostly played in WH and this was fairly noticeable.

It seems these last months that I can do anomalies for hours on hand and clear up a safe WH (static not loaded) without seeing a single K162 spawn.

My conclusion is that there is an algorithm somewhere tying up player scanning activity with WH anomalies being farmed.
It also seem that with less player activities during week days, the odds of farming a WH safely are much better.

In short, farming a WH during week ends is suicidal, while farming during weekdays is a breeze.

I think CCP should also add to Hyperion some WH types that spawns on both side without having to have a player jumping though, so that the occurrences of K162 is not so much linked to player activities only.
It will also go a long way in making WH more dangerous that they really are at the moment., especially during week days...

Or, get this, instead of an algorithm, it's just random. You see less K162s during the week because there're less people playing, and as a result, less people scanning and popping the hole on the other side which causes a K162.

You not in your right mind friend? You have two **** ideas so far, please don't keep them coming for this forum's sake. TIA))

If thuggin' was a category I'd win a Grammy

Sorry you don't like my ideas but...
I am glad to contribute some different view points.

You see I do not exclusively post to defend my ISK making machinery,,.. only CCP can tell if such an algorithm actually exist, as I said this is just empirical observation over more than 12 months, but if such algorithm exist indeed, than CCP has a pointer to something that should be looked at...

And (not) sorry if I am bursting your comfortable ISK making bubble by doing so...
