...until Incursion farmers descended.
I realize players are behaving in an economically rational manner, leaving the mothership alive after blasting away the status impairments in hours to maximize farm benefit.
Still, last year's ->
LFM ICC 25 FARM TELL GS NEED TNK/DPS/HLZ
has become ->
LFM VNGRD FARM SHLD/ARMOR FLT LINK FIT NEED DPS/HLZ.
Balance considerations forced that other company to overhaul game mechanics to bring gear inflation under control, resulting in an e-rage blizzard (nyuck nyuck) equivalent to the Null Sec Nerf of 2011... with 30 times the player base.
That was not pretty. Rebalancing a "sandbox" game is only that much uglier, and although I generally dislike them, I also find myself in sympathy with null sec corps that saw their space receive a "farm" nerf.
The mechanics of non-stop Incursion farming in high sec paired with a nerf to null sec cash generation seem likely to cause an imbalance feedback loop - unless I am missing something.
What would that something be?
Is it that the incentive for null sec corps to send fleets into high sec for non-stop incursion farming will be so great, massive battles will start taking place between warring alliances in empire space?
Joy.

Lol. Uh, right.
Wow, Dungeons Are Hard.
TL:DR - "We rebalanced Cataclysm to get off the loot train we started in Wrath."
