Anyone who does missions from the same agent all the time sees the same 10-15 ad nauseum. There may be a bunch in total, but no one is ever going to work for every single corp and agent type in the game to see them.
Would be cool if they somehow allowed players to submit mission ideas to CCP. Either that or have them be procedurally generated. Both would provide so many missions it would be crazy. But considering many things in missions still have dev names like "MISSION_OBJECT_HERP_DERP" after years, i think we can assume it's not a priority issue.

Originally by: HeIIfire11 I use six agents..and some more than ten jumps apart.How many more jumps do I need to go to get one of those 100 new missions?I too get the same few missions over and over.Only change I've noticed is that I get more of the useless ones.
As I mentioned in the OP's other whine thread, my one agent gives me access to ~40 different missions, of which I tend to decline just under half because they don't serve my purposes. If you get much less than that, I suspect that what's actually happening is that you recognize getting maybe a dozen or so, but only because you never recall about the ones you always instantly reject.
I only ever decline smash the supplier when solo, and if you don't know why, you need to do more missions. Everything else i can get from an L4 agent is a walk in the park after all this time.
My main has around 9.5 faction standing with Minmatar, and just under 9 with Gallente. I've literally run hundreds if not thousands of missions for 6kin, Brutor, Sebiestor, Republic Security, Federal Intelligence, Federal Navy, and countless other small corps of no real importance. Few people you'll meet have done anywhere close to that many missions, and i'm still checking people i meet trying to find someone crazy enough to have higher standings.
I've noticed all those agents give their same handful of missions over and over, and even when switching to an entirely different faction, the only real change of note is that Angel Extravaganza switches to Sansha Extravaganza. I went to Gallente agents hoping for a big change in missions offered, and was disappointed to find it pretty much the same.

Originally by: Stick Cult Tippia, stop trolling... 
I think it's involuntary at this point.
Probably has to be put under sedation each night in order to stop. Sad to see, but we all knew the risks when we logged onto the net.

Originally by: Bud Johnson So on eve-o forums actually knowing what you are talking about = trolling?
There's a difference between sounding right and being right.

Originally by: Ocih All will involve going to low sec to farm 2 hr rat spawns that jam you. Have fun 
I would expect nothing less. I'm currently taking out Battleships in a rickety old Stealth Bomber while speed tanking fleets, in lowsec.
Although, it could use some kind of beacon which allows any hostile in the system to warp to you without having to probe you down as well. That would spice up the two hour wait.

Originally by: CCP Dropbear We'll be adding to pre-existing mission pools. Expect a blog on that at some point in the future.
Also, we have other content cooking. You can read about it here.
I'm surprised this link doesn't have its own thread or is stickied somewhere.
The interview directly addresses many of the issues forum-goers have been flaming each other over for the past month.
To be completely blunt, i think the community is tired of promises about awesome new features and all their problems going away, and wants to actually see something.
