Prior to the last major patch, finding non-drone combat sites was relatively easy.
Why is it that now I consistantly only find 1 in 5 that are not drone sites.
What has changed and for Gawd's sake why!
I am sure there are many who like to farm Drone sites (you should be tickled to death).
Seriously, whats the deal?
Even a decent 50/50 balance would be fine, but 1 in 5?
(and no, this is not a single sitting experience, its been weeks of it now. My ISK making has dropped considerably because I hate doing drone sites. I have not found a decent 4/10 site in 2-3 weeks (non-drone). Even low sec seems to have dried up.
Anyon else experiencing this? |

Yes and the reason for that is nobody want's to do the Rogue Drone sites.
There's no loot table whatsoever assigned to them which was promised a long time ago. There's also no Faction / Deadspace loot available from the Sentient Drones either.
Basically Rogue Drones have been nerfed all the way down to the bottom of the list.

You really don't understand how site spawning mechanics works do you. |

Because you're late to the party. Those sites are the ones that everyone else leaves behind. Rifterlings pirate corporation is now recruiting pilots for lowsec solo & small gang operations. Visit our website at www.rifterlings.com or join our in game channel weflyrifters to speak to a recruiter. |

Explain it then bro...
As for being late to the game, I have found this to be true at all points in the day and I am in low population locations with a bunch of miners, so....

Sites respawn at all points during the day, so makes little difference there.

The exact types of areas that explorers look for. Very few explorers want to run drone complexes, so if an explorer goes through an area, other sites will be run and despawn (respawning elsewhere), the drone ones will stay behind. If you're in an area that even one other explorer got to before you, just drone sites and WHs is pretty much what's expected

Oh my ... Why is it that often people in the most chance-based profession in Eve don't understand the concepts of chance, randomness and probability. Your sample group of one person doing a small number of systems does NOT enable you to make any statistically significant claim on any probable spawning changes.
Either do some serious work (like St. Mio checking entire regions on the test server for the frequency of DED 1/10 and 2/10 sites) or abstain from "Oh noes, not finding anything shiney (enter short amount of time). CCP must have changed the numbers without telling us (i.e. me). Exploration is BROKEN!!!" posts. |

You assume that my comments are taken only from my own experience and not from a group. Which they are not. Also, I never said Exploration is BROKEN!!!
I made an observation based on various elements across numerous people of what HAS statistically changed in the last 3 weeks.
Additionally, if the majority of people disdane drone complexes they why would they not be spawned in a lower volume? That is if, this community is the basis for what drives this game (and the funds that fuel it).
Taken any element that a large majority dislike and retain it in a format where that same majority pay the bills and you can see what statistically happens.
This is an elment of game play that drives players for both enjoyment and ISK building. I would think that the mechanic would, as such, be geared to garner the most amount of play from thos of us who want to do it.
Otherwise, to your point, bringing up a point that has come from experience of multiplayers and garnering no change makes this forum uesless.
Which, from experience, it very may well be anyhow.
Also, I was not trying to tell (i.e.you) anything. I dont know you, nor do I care to. |
