i like lvl4's being a grindfest tbh. they are very good for doing on the side while listening to an audiobook or some debate or even music and you get decent isk in the process. i would be ok with making them more dynamic but only if in turn you make incursion scout sites a valid alternative (soloable but decent isk/hr).

just tell them that if you get 1000 likes, you'll make tractor beams draw in frigates. that should do the trick.

Also explains a lot of the core concepts of the game. I think CCP really needs to explain the whole standing thing so players do screw them selves out of certain factions spaces..... Missions are spectacularly bad at establishing any basics or explaining core concepts. There is a huge gap between real EVE mechanics, and the scripted Empire NPC AI grind. Mission walk-throughs are the final nail in the coffin, ruining even the slightest chance of surprise. Repetitive missions shouldn't be in this persistent, single-shard universe in the first place. In their current form, they are detached from the rest of the sandbox, and only promote botting or bot-like playing, bad fits and GD whines. Most importantly new players should be protected from the terrible idea of missioning-career. I would be happy to see the missions removed from the game, or completely revamped to be one-time storylines with improved NPC AI and realistic mechanics.
as I said before, completely removing the grind is not a good idea. some people (like me) enjoy performing a monotonous activity while doing something else on the side. i'm not saying missions should be left alone, just that there needs to be some equivalent to belt ratting or plexing in hisec.

Roime wrote:I can appreciate the fact that you like to grind, that's a valid argument. But that there needs to be a (semi) afk activity and that hisec should have a risk-free version of belt ratting are really terrible arguments.
Plexing exists also in hisec.
firstly, i do not insist on hisec grind paying as well as nullsc grind. in fact, you will find several occasions of me stating that lvl4s should be removed from hisec.
on the other hand, let's keep it real: you will probably get more money from afk mining in a mammoth than from running hisec anoms. the payout fo hisec grind should be at least half of what you'd expect from a (relatively safe) 0.0 activity.
