CCP has said many times since 2012 that they don't like the passive gameplay associated with Research Agent Datacore farming:
Quote:A change mentioned during Fanfest concerns datacores and research agents in general. While we do acknowledge that initial the initial period to train up for high-level research agents take times, effort and money, we are not particularly fond of the passive datacore income in general.
Considering Datacores are obtained through Faction Warfare LP stores, and through Exploration, they have added enough active methods to obtain Datacores that maybe they should consider phasing out Research Agents, unless there is a compelling argument for keeping them.
Maybe the R&D Agent missions need another look at what we want to get out of them, as I see all of the missions (Security, Distribution, etc) being just different routes for getting standings, ISK, and LP.
Would it make more sense to instead just have Datacores available in the regular mission LP store at a reduced ratio compared to Faction Warfare?

Quote:Removed data interfaces from Invention Removed and reimbursed all R.Db.-Hybrid Technology, data interfaces, subsystem interfaces, and their respective blueprints at average market price
How exactly do you refund blueprints at average market price, when there isn't a market for them? Contracts? Hoping the average goes back pre-Odyssey to give some of the long term Interface manufactures a bit of a break.

I know there have been a lot of changes to reduce afk plexing - from increasing the npc damage amounts, and removing cloaking withing beacon range. And doesn't a lot of the LP come from missions, rather than the plexes themselves? And you get more LP if you offensively plex vs defensive?
I might be wrong on all that - I don't do FW, I just like to shoot at them :)
