DED complex loot drops nerfed, ruined.

What are we as explorers supposed to do now to make isk? For example, the best drops, pithum c-type shield booster (4/10) are 55mil, as opposed to the usual ~300, pithum a-type shield booster (6/10) are 282m, as opposed to the usual ~1.1-1.3bil.

How is it even possible to make money and fund plexes which have doubled in price 1.1-1.3bil each? Makes absolutely no sense at all.

Perhaps stop showing bot-aspirant behaviour and mercilessly farming these sites so as to reduce supply, and thereby allow the forces of supply and demand to increase prices?

What? I mean the maximum payout is nerfed and ruined completely. There was always a chance of getting nothing at all.

Oh, where to start....

I'll assume you've been out of the game for awhile. The best things to drop from 4-6/10 Guristas sites are not the shield boosters; they're the invulnerability fields, which go for 860mil/540mil/270mil for A/B/C respectively. Which is still pretty darn good.

More importantly, no, CCP hasn't nerfed anything. There are more people doing exploration so supply of deadspace items is up. In the meantime, demand hasn't increased to follow suit. Hence lower prices.

I can casually plex on 5/10s and 6/10s. I'm not even in Guristas space. You can too.

I knew as soon as he said the word "Pith" what the problem is. Goons/Imperium inhabit the north and over farm Guristas Content (even in nearby lowsec) to a crazy extent. And lowsec has high sec exploraiton sites now. So crazy even BLOOD RAIDERS loot fetches better prices than Guristas, and that has to be a 1st in all EVE history lol.

You're problem is with those over farming as well as CCPs buff to escalation chances. Nothing got 'nerfed',. And BTW thank goodness I live in Angel space, much more reasonable loot prices because Goons are up north. I have no problem affording PLEX.

THIS RIGHT HERE IS WHAT I WANTED TO SEE. Thanks for the update. Didn't know about these. :) Might start playing again after all. Shame plexes have doubled in price though.

Market Economy brah! If the supply is there, but the demand isn't; prices drop. If demand is there, but supply isn't; prices rise.

As long as we are whining here I did three or four DED complexes two nights ago and got nothing over 25,000 ISK in value. Seriously, the drops were like "Dread Guristas Copper Tag (12,000 ISK)". Hours of my life I will never get back.

Why do you even drop this crap. I mean Raging Bull Newbie Carbide Railgun or whatever the hell they are worth 10K in recycled minerals. Why bother? What's the point of that?

...and as long as I am on the subject of nihilistic drops, what is it with the Metal Scraps? Is that some kind of sick joke or something? Hah hah you opened the container, what a dope you are!

If you drop something, it should have some kind of actual meaning in the game. Just dropping trash for the sake of dropping trash is pointless. Its like those gray drops in WOW.

The whole gimmick of these Sites, at least in HS, is that it is random, you could win big, or not get anything at all, I have done DED's 5 days in a row and only got one Dread Gurista Long Point, but then I have done 3 Sites in a row and gotten 3 Pith C-Type Invun's, the Sites are better ISK then Missions if you run them in a decent fit, I use a Rattle for 5/10's and can clear then in under 10 minutes, thats 40mil everytime just in the 18th Overseers stuff, and another 20+ mil in Bounties, I have recently had a lot of luck with the 8/10's in Gurista Null Sec, the ISK payout is better if you stick with it, with lots of goodies, I mean, I have 2 Missioning HG Crystal Pods, had them for 3 months, and I only started playing EVE 7-8 months ago, so yeah..

If all you want to do is PLEX your account, then go do Incursions, I hear they do it better, I personally do DED's to fund my PvP and to outfit my Mission Running boats, why? Cause I don't see why buying half the modules makes sense when I can go have fun finding them the hard way!

Good luck though.

I love the current prices of faction and deadspace loot. Deadspace was way overpriced and i say that as some that plexes. Its way more balanced and reasonable now.

Sometimes you are the squirrel and sometimes you are the nut. Today, you are the nut and the squirrel is hungry.

I used to be an explorer like you, then I took a burner to the knee.

That the same problem with the data/relic site

Too much people doing it, not so much new player so the demand stay same so price drop. Nothing ccp can fix because even if they increase the loot the price will go down again, And if they make them harder many people will cry and stop play.

The problem is not enough new blood and ccp make everything too easy, I remember when i start Eve lvl4 mission was little reward and exploration really great reward now is the reverse ( thanks to the lp store) until everyone start to farm the lvl4 and we will have the same situation.

It's kind of ironic actually. Every time an explorer loses an astero, stratios or a ship fitted with a sister launcher or probes they pay me for new ones.

I'm sure you can appreciate the irony in that.

yeah and some times ago the value of the lp on Soe was about 2200-2400isk per lp, now is hard 2000isk so that make my point more people do it the demand stay the same so the value go down. on this way it will arrive a moment the soe lp will worth nothing.
