Your points are wrong and your post was generally terrible but I do want to congratulate you on spelling bloc correctly.

Bend the knee, and your lord liege will protect you. Compared with what you can earn in nullsec, we aren't talking lords and peasants here. Maybe lords and vassals. Lazy vassals. That don't fight.

Well of course they are, its called a charm offensive :)
For years the goons have mocked people who have rented but now they need those same people.

I treat the group sort of like a large Dragon resting sleepily on top of a mound of gold and jewels; and him telling me, "Go ahead take some, I have plenty, and I don't mind". Now maybe the Dragon is being truthful and maybe he isn't.
Regardless caution is advised.

Deka Ekato wrote:- Lyris Nairn, what's up with the PR campaign you seem to have initiated? - Why the multi-multiple posting? I try to respond to all or most of the posts in a thread that interests me. I arrived to this one late, so a bunch of my responses are all smashed together in one big posting frenzy. It also makes it a lot easier for me keep up with where the thread left off, or where I was when I was last reading it: anything past the wall of me is new.
Quote:- Why do players choose to rent? Sure, there are riches in Null Sec, but in the end, renters are providing their landlords with a passive source of easy income. For numerous reasons expressed in many posts, the choice to rent can be very profitable for the renting party. Consider that some systems rent for as low as 2 billion ISK per month, and compare that 2 billion ISK to the 10% or 15% ratting tax that would be imposed on PVE activity in most nullsec corps. It doesn't take very many man-hours of ratting to make the flat rental fee a more attractive alternative than a percentage tax, and it is our assumption that many corps will take advantage of that.
Quote:And we are talking about a game, not real life. You might pay rent in real life, but paying rent in a game, to me, is silly. - Why? Because you are paying other "players"" so as to have fun. (Paying CCP, the game maker, to access the game is totally different. Sadly I can't find the words so as to describe this difference). I don't see a tangible difference. I pay ~550 million ISK per month per account to play EVE Online. That is considerably higher than what the per-player cost to rent space is. If you are OK with PLEX, then I don't see why you wouldn't be OK with renting.
Quote:Fair enough, this emergent player behaviour is good business for both landlord and renter, but still, why choose to bassically pay other players for the right to play. Because you lack any of the numerous things required to take and hold sovereignty and maintain desired upgrades.
Quote:People, just stay out of Sovereign Space. Let the Power Blocs actually work so as to maintain control of what they have. Find other ways to enjoy Eve. Don't waste your ISK, by giving it to Overlords. Don't help the Power Blocs become even richer and stronger from Your play time. Don't let them make You into their puppet/safety buffer. This is certainly an option, but player controlled space is provably better than NPC space in terms of its resources. If people want to stay in NPC space and use those resources, then that's fine. But if they want the benefit of upgraded systems without having to fight for them and maintain the sovereignty fees, then renting is a viable option.

Alavaria Fera wrote:But the ~isk per hour~. You can only mine so much in highsec, oh and RORQURAL BOOSTS. I cannot overstate the benefit of Rorqual bonuses. Orcas are nice, but a Rorqual reduces your Strip Miner's cycle time to 104 seconds. Especially if you multiply this increase over the Orca by several miners, there is a really big boost to mining yield. You can reasonably mine 50 million ISK per hour per miner (average across all ore types) with Rorqual bonuses, which doesn't seem like much compared tot he 100 million ISK per hour of active ratting until you consider how easily mining scales. You can run 30 miners at 50 million ISK per hour per miner with roughly the same amount of effort as running 1 or 2, whereas trying to keep that many ratting accounts sorted, even if they were AFK drone boats, would be a nightmare of watching multiple locals and tabbing through dozens of clients to ensure constant output. With a mining team, you can pile all of them into one system, monitor one local, and never run out of resources to mine because of the way mining anomalies work.

I don't know much or care about Sovereignty. I'm not advising people to simply to try to just go and claim their own space. Sure, I am trying to discourage people, who are, or are considering renting, cause I find the concept of paying other "players" for the right, (for what is), for more rewarding gaming, well, just silly.
I understand that the riches of Null Sec are extremely rewarding, but, personally, I don't want to provide other players with an easy source of income. As such, this is one of the reasons I avoid Null Sec, like the plague. |

Well, the only way to get at those riches is having sov, because they are tied into ihub upgrades.
Easy income source you say... what's the alternative? WHs are a logistics nightmare. Hi-sec? Low-sec? those are far worse then renting. |
