Could you guys please stop for a moment and state, how much ISK/h/Character can be made with certain activities?
From my experience, Nullsec Anomalies cap out somewhere around 120M or so, but I may be doing it wrong. How much is it for 0.0 DED Sites, Incursions? W-Space? FW? Lv 4 Missions? |

Cool, thank you!
Assuming the info is correct, it seems then, that HS Incursions, HS Lv.4 Mission Blitzing, NS Carrier Anomaly Ratting and NS DED Exploration are pretty much on par, payout wise.
I do think this is still a bit odd, considering that - boredom aside - in HS you can run missions/incursions 16 hours a day, non stop with minimal risk, whereas in Nullsec, interruptions are bound to happen. Stupidity aside, you will not lose the Carrier*, but you will at some point have to dock, and potentially reship and fight, and while doing that, not make any money. Let's be realistic, folks - risk in Nullsec is not that high. Correct me if I am wrong due to living in a fortress.
So far, I'd say balance is only slightly off. Not as bad, however, as one could assume it is when reading this thread. (again: assuming the info is correct)
Next are W-Space sites. Pretty much the same as for nullsec applies for W-Space as well - some dude logs in in your hole or strolls into it, and you may have to postpone the jewing for a while. At a first glance, those numbers look ridiculous. 200-400M/h? But I wonder - how realistic is the notion of running C5 Sites for hours on end, as can be done with incursions, missions and NS anomalies. Would be nice if a Hole-Dweller (or are they called "Worms"?) could shed some light on this. My endeavours to W-Space have been rather short, and never took me anywhere beyond Class 4.
What really strikes me as not very accurate and potentially out of balance is "Faction Warfare: 50-200 mil per hour. Varies wildly with faction levels, luck, etc. Consider hostiles as well." for Low Sec. Any insight on how that goes? Average would be 125M, which would still be on par with about everything else. How realistic is it to reap in 200M/h 16 hours a day?
In my opinion, Trading, Mercenary work and other things where goods and money come from other players do not count. If people are willing to give you a trillion ISK for whatever you do - all the power to you! This discussion should only focus on activities aiming at "generating" goods and ISK from thin air.
So far, I do not see a reason to "End HS Incursions" or even hit them with the Nerf-Club too hard. A slight reduction in HS income in general does sound reasonable, though.
*) I have yet to lose a Ratting Carrier, or even just an AFKtar after almost 3 years of anomaly running. It will happen eventually, but if it does, it will be because I have fallen asleep in Space. |
