I demand that my forum posting pay at least as much as running Sanctums in an officer fit Nyx. Oh yeah, that would be the day. Imagine the Isk/hr we would make if forum posting earned Isk... By the way - it's not far from reality I see on some social sites (such as Twitter, FB, Reddit): people use cryptocurrencies (dogecoins for example) to tip posters using "tipbots" and simple commands like "+tipbot 100 coins". Could be nice to have such tipbot for official forums - to tip ISK to posters (apparently logging into game takes too much effort). If you think it's a joke - yesterday I've seen $850 tip, few days ago someone tipped $6k equivalent in a single tip. p.s. apologies for off-topic. Only if we can also place bounties in the same manner. Zappity's Adventures for a taste of lowsec. |

Really? because all you need is the basic skills at 3 to stand a 50/50 of doing null sites
Confirming. I have hacking skills to 4 and very rarely even need a 2nd go let alone lose a can. It is a game of skill (although the skill required is almost as simple as tic tac toe). Collecting the loot you want i also simple and many of the data sites i have finished collecting the loot i want after the 2nd or 3rd spew and am already omw to next. The null sites drop tens of mill to hundreds of mill /site. I see people a few days old running them in herons/ asteros constantly. Maybe OP you are exceptionally bad at something very simple? Or maybe CCP hate you especially and your cans are harder than everyone elses? Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85 |

lets sum it up, you spend however long looking for a site, could be few hrs to find a site with something worth taking, add to this ur up against alot of other new players looking for same sites.
so you have 1, it has at least 1 can with something other then *) in it, start hacking, then its pretty much down to pure luck if you hit the right buttons, because to me it seems there are far too many blocks in the way, if you manage to brk the can you then again have to rely on luck to hopefully pick up the 1 item out of all the*) to make the site worthwhile!!
How absolutely *) boring this procedure is. lets face it, u have had to design and add a new ship to the game just to fill the role *)..well done
*)
*)= *Snip* Please refrain from using profanity. ISD Ezwal.
Why are so many people looking for them if they suck?
With that said... I completely agree with you. Hacking is just bad and looks like a browser game from the late 90ies. |

There is a trick to the mini game. It's hard to explain, but after you do a few, you'll realize the general strategy. There is also a couple of good video guides on the basic strategy. Unless I get some really bad luck, I don't usually have issues.
the Loot spew however needs to go away. Just see no real reason for it. Sure, if the minigame wasn't there, why not.
Good news about this summer. |

Exploration was made so mind numbingly simple that any player with a week old character and two neurons to rub together could easily and quickly clear almost any professional site in the game.
Supply shot up, prices tanked. End of story. |

Wait ... you think there is actually a skill involved "solving" the mini-game? Besides a few tiny tactics it is, in my opinion, a game of sheer luck. I would really like to read otherwise.

If it were luck then why do some people almost never lose cans and some people lose many? Path selection is vital. Knowing when to go round and when to go through is vital. Knowing which buffs to use when helps. Some of the blocking pieces are usually best removed immediately and others left alone untill later but exceptions apply to both. It takes bad luck to lose once and should happen rarely (level 4 skills). It takes a ton of bad luck to lose twice and should almost never happens. Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85 |

You can make some decent isk from it. Nowhere near as much as other combat related things but then you're not risking a multi-hundred isk ship.
The thing that makes it pay less is doing it in areas / times where lots of people are also doing it.
One issue I have with sites is the complete irrelevancy of data sites. They're crap. I'd like to see more faction bpc in data sites but make the cans unscannable. Leave relics how they are, they pay quite well.

relic and data sites drop up to a billion isk in loot in a c6 wormhole, if you know how to do them - solo, by the way.
So yeah, works as intended.
If you find the drops in your region are trash, move to wormhole space and start working your way up the real PvE chain. |

Yes but closets filled with money you can use to get more **** for your closet. A closet with a pool table and nice lighting. And air conditioning. And a small capital fleet so you can get more money for more closets and closet accessories. IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES*.

Not all null sites are created equal. For every story of "I made tens of millions in an hour" there are plenty of data/relic sites that yield a few million at best and often have no high-value drops at all.
Not sure but I suspect site values may vary by region? I know those in my current home nullsec region generally suck. |

I came back to the game to find the horrid changes done to relic, data sites. I ran 2 and never went back.
Find something else to do, or
find another game to play. Mahjong is more entertaining. |

I used to run hisec hacking sites when I was a young explorer. 10-20mil per site was common. Good income for newbies. After Odyssey I watched my stash of frisbees plummet in price and never bothered to run the sites anymore. With no more frisbees to play with, my dog became depressed and shot himself.
Prices on loot from combat sites tanked as well. Unable to continue to feed my 5 kids, I lost my mind and jettisoned them out the airlock of my trailerhome and now roam sites, terrorizing this new wave of explorers. |

I like the mini game. Maybe because I've done it only on like 20 sites or sth (then approximately 100 times since there are 4 containers a site and my t1 analyzers fail me sometimes ).
I like exploration as it is - a mini profession. I do it when I'm bored or I don't have a lot of time. It's a casual thing for casual players, and it suits me this way.
Bigger rewards mean bigger competition, and bigger competition usually means bigger skill/time commitment, so be careful what you wish for.
When they say "more money from data/relic sites" you should understand they are actually saying "data/relic sites always instantly cleared in radius of 15 jumps". Singature Radius 48 m |

1- the minigame is aweful, do 10 of them and you are done, no challenge, just dumb cliking fest 2- the loot spew is terribad, but get removed so.... 3- the overlay scanner thing need to go; especially when you have it turned OFF and yet, it STILL show up to add insult to the irony
4- regarding the payout: in lowsec, you will have a better isk/hour ratio just chaining the belt rats, and without even speaking about the clones...good clones being 25-30M a pop, you definitely make more isk just doing the belt, and it's not like you need a big ship for that, a t1 cruiser does the job well, as well as assault frigs (fastest i found was cynabal, but starting this summer, i'll need to find another ship because "CCP Rise")...
tldr, in low, it's gone from interesting content, to "WTF this things show up every time i jump" |
