I think this change is intended to be a simple cleanup, not a buff of any kind.
you know like the UI change of a sort.
they'll nerf high sec agents soon I believe... they just haven't decided yet, HOW exactly to do that.

before anom nerf, huge number of carebears lived in nullsec running the anoms for same (or more) profits hisec lvl4s had. they also acted as militia force of nullsec - gathered for space defense when called - thus making nullsec safer and reducing conflict.
now all those carebears are forced to move to high sec and grind lvl4. effects? no (or much less) militia in nullsec, thus more reason and ease of conflict, more risk in nullsec.
all they left to do (and they are planning to) is increasing reward in nullsec so the risk vs reward formula would be reinstated. although I have no idea how will they make a reward that would not attract carebear militia again... we'll see though.

It will create new hubs, because Lvl 4 Q20 Agents in a 0.5 System pay more than in a 0.9 system :)
yes but they also closer to lowsec so they can send you there. i guess many people will just stay where they are of maybe find another agent but not close to lowsec

Making SoE combat missions inaccessible to members of Gallente and Minmatar FW is kind of suboptimal. Please change the division of the Gicodel agent to Security.
Additionally, please revisit some of the corporations that now have no combat agent at all. That's seriously suboptimal.
Also, please revisit the idea that system security affects payout. It would be much more sensible if, say, 0.5 - 1.0 would all pay out as 1.0 does right now, and +0.0 - 0.4 would all pay out like 0.0 does right now: Low-sec boost and simplified agent interface all in one.
Finally, what happened to the dynamic agent payout that was talked about on FF? Is that still upcoming?
+1, although i can use osmon agent but guristas rats will make this too painful for me.
also it seems like many r&d corp standing will be very hard to get now since they only have distribution agents. they also give unique implants that no "battle" corp have in LP shops so expect distribution LP to considerably raise in price.
a boost to courier mission bots?

Can anyone confirm if sisi is giving bigger LP pay outs or lower LP Pay outs? All i've heard are that LP pay out is going down from sisi.
this is because the connection skills were removed and people haven't noticed the new connection books in LP shops. once you learn those, LP payouts will either be about the same of raise.

This has to be up there with when they added level 4's to high sec in the first place. Then I was a pirate with no skillpoints and raged because all my targets started to vanish.
Now I am a billionaire with a face roll mission Tengu, thanks CCP \o/
Edit:
That being said, I am all for condensing agent types, it was needlessly confusing before and now lets people pick exactly what missions they want to do.
excellent example of why missions are a good thing! turned a failing criminal sociopath into a successful law abiding citizen working for the good of his country. I think CCP should lend their skills and experience to the powers that be. install EVE in prisons or something.

Thus CCP is about to fail in epic fashion if they think this will spread out more than a tiny number of established players.
wrong.
1. the difference between rewards of q0 agent and q20 is much bigger than between 1.0 system and 0.5 system. Especially it's much less for 0.9, 0.8 etc systems.
2. people don't want to cluster since there are suicide gankers in clusters
3. people don't want to cluster because of lag
4. not much logistics is needed - only ammo and some spare drones
5. there are more options now since some corps with no lvl4/q20 agents got ones now. no need to use navies any longer. also, some of them have better isk/lp ratio.
so as you see there are now much more reasons to spread out and less obstacles to it (mainly an ok reward vs horribly low one before)
I for one would prefer some quiet corner to the huge hub, and would move if my current location became crowded, if other options would not make me sacrifice too much income. which is possible now.
