Originally by: Enst Smath Do these changes affect COSMOS courier missions as well? I'm not sure whether you (CCP) consider them as "normal mission agents" or not. On one hand, if you have standings, you access them just like normal mission agents. On the other hand, they award faction standing, and are more like storyline missions.
This change only affected those COSMOS missions that had a PI commodity as the transported item. However, there were only a few COSMOS missions that were changed as such. The quantity changes were mostly for generic courier missions, which are a different type of mission than COSMOS courier missions.

The focus for this change was on courier missions, which was one aspect of the mission system that we could balance in the time we had. We took a good hard look at all the data available to us and found that courier missions were not balanced with each other as a whole. I would have loved for us to look at other aspects of missions and try to rebalance them, but there's only so much we can do per release.
But that doesn't mean we won't keep this analysis up. This is only a first step. There's plenty more that we can do and will do.

Originally by: Elaron As has been said by a couple of other people, please use this justification to bring balance to LP store rewards...
I'm sure you guys get frustrated with hearing "that's not our department," but you have to understand that CCP is not a single, monolithic group of devs that share workload across all aspects of the game. Think about it: Do you figure UPS delivery drivers also do their own vehicle repairs? No, they have licensed mechanics who handle that for them.
EVE Content does not handle LP stores, so bringing that topic up in a thread about courier mission fixes is like getting angry with the clerk in a flower store because the air conditioning in the restaurant next door doesn't work.

Originally by: Caphelo As a reason for this change, you said:
Originally by: CCP Tallest Giving one faction a clear advantage over another faction is necessarily bad; players of all factions should have access to similar resources. Balanced missions among factions also help to spread out EVE's population, which is good for the server and desirable for our population.
Yet you're leaving the Gallente as the ONLY race that is stuck with the craptastic STORYLINE mission that sends you twenty jumps away into lowsec for a reward equivalent to a couple bags of llama droppings? That's not imbalanced enough to fix?
Those storyline missions have been disabled on TQ due to overwhelmingly negative player feedback.
