My question is this....do the sites (sleeper, ore belts, etc) degrade when used? I mean if we live and work the wormhole do the site spawns become less and less? How does the timing work on that, meaning how long before no sites will respawn? Final question...how accurate are the answers here, meaning is the answers based soley on your experience or are the "word of God( CCP DEV's) ? Thank you for your help as I can't find a single spot on answer anywhere.
In the end it will all come down to he who has the most toys....wins |

Based on casual conversation and theory
I would expect it to work like any other anomaly spawn. I.E. as you clear a system of the items that are spawned, they would respawn within the constellation - but of course I have no idea how the constellation structure works in wormholes. Assuming that to be true, as long as most of the systems in your constellation are occupied or at least visited regularly for farming, then they would respawn normally.
This pans out some in my memory, as early on in wormhole time folks would talk about how their systems would get "farmed out" and the spawns became less frequent. It would also seem likely that with the larger amount of wormhole residency in the last few months, the spawns should balance out a bit better to more systems.
The better question to you is: are you finding that your belts and sleepers aren't respawning very much?

I'm told that spawn rate is not affected by occupancy. However, experiance tells me that may not be true. I spend about a month living in wspace. When I first get there, it seems new sites are spawning nearly as fast as I can run them (solo). In fact, grav sites spawn faster than I can clean them out. After a few weeks, it seems the sites are getting hard to come by. So, I just head to empire and run some missions for a week or two, then head back to a wh full of sites again. Of course this could be coincedence. Perhaps somebody is sneaking into my hole and despawning sites when I'm not online. I know I've started doing that to my static class 2, in hopes that maybe one will spawn in my wh.

fact or not: my corp (when i joined i was taught that) leaves one of each site, combat, radar, etc etc.... and thus the system doesnt get affected by the magical 'drying out' of a system since it doesnt queue 'hey someone lives here and is farming the system' in the server database and thus, we get more spawns. we hope....
else we farm our static connections

They will degrade naturally assuming the K space mechanics are used. As they are farmed they may respawn in WH space which is not being farmed. It then takes time for it to despawn and pop up elsewhere, including a chance to be where you happen to be. I do not know how long they stay before de spawning but if its about a week that would tie in. I assume there is a fixed amount of sites over a fixed number of WH's for this to be correct.
I'm speculating but it would tie in with some players experience and CCP stating there is no way you can farm out a given WH space. But you can simulate that effect. It would also explain how some players have come across a WH with a massive amount of signatures.

This. And sites despawn after approx 3 days once warped to, or iirc 3 days after being scanned (so if times right, they will remain in system for a max of approx 6 days)

I have run into this in a class 3 I keep a scanning alt in at all times. It's a backwater WH that if left alone for 2-3 weeks, will spawn 7-8 anomalies and 5-6 various signatures.
