So I was missioning off in a random system when a friend said he needed help with a level 3 mission, as his tanked drake had made it out with only 10% hull. As I was flying a tanked drake as well at the time, I figured that he'd forgotten to turn on his hardeners or hadn't been paying attention at the wrong moment. So I went and helped him.
I was wrong. Literally, dead wrong.
The mission was Portal to War, Part 2 of 5. It was the last room. And there were 22 cruiser-sized or above ships and 10 frigates all 20km off the gate. Yeah. So I made it about 5 seconds before my computer instaaaaa-tiiiiime-waaaarp-laaaagged as they all targeted me. Tanked drake. 18,000 or so hitpoints. 6 seconds. 3000dps. A level 3 mission.
This needs to be changed. A level 3 shouldn't require multiple battleships.

I know that. I'm saying they should change it to either a level 4 mission or make the dps much, much lower.
Great argument, by the way.

Yeah and when you post a reply, you generally want to read the first post's first sentence. I didn't start this mission, a friend did. I don't know how long it was between the time he first triggered it and the time I arrived. Apparently it was awhile, judging by the insta-pop fleet.

Surprisingly, the listing for this one was missing from EVE Mission Survival when I checked. The link to it was conveniently given to me after I died.
I think the real lesson here is "An EVE forum post is like an idiot magnet." One thought-out post besides my own...although judging by what I've read before I suppose that's a pretty good turn out. Now I remember why I don't bother saying anything on here, all a topic's purpose ever is is to get the creator flamed. Looks like it's time for this thread to die.
