I don't know whats more obvious. The solution, or the fact that CCP can't act because of the possible carebear outrage.

Lvl4 agents are causing INFLATION.
They are upsetting the RISK AND REWARD.
They are turning EVE into EVERGRIND.

How hard is it to understand that putting 2.5mil bounty npcs and rouge drones that drop refined crokite is turning the game into a stupid time sink with no brains or effort involved, save for changing hardeners?

How hard is it to understand that having LvL4 agents spawning battleship npcs in 1.0 doesn't mean that you get rich? Everyone does the missions, everyone gets the same huge rewards, the prices on those modules that everyone wants goes UP.

How hard is it to understand that the only thing getting shafted here is player competition and well... every other aspect of the game? Miners aren't mining anymore, because agent missions give out tons minerals, plus bounties, plus rewards. Better idea to mine, no? Only the hardcore NPC hunters are left in 0.0, looking for the officer spawn under the blue moon to hit the jackpot. Why? Because the same npcs spawn in 1.0 much more frequently and you have concord covering your ass. Combat Pilots are only shooting eachother for giggles now, because there's nothing worth fighting for in 0.0, certainly nothing that is better than 23/7 CONCORD protection, in-system lvl4 missions with huge rewards and not to mention the faction ships.

0.0 needed encouragement before Exodus, but atleast people went there for NPCs and mining. Now, its just utter crap. POS is a joke that could be renamed Expensive-Safespot. The Officer spawns come up only when all the planets are aligned (contrary to popular belief that you can chain them 23/7).

And not to mention the risk of 0.0.

Logistics are crap in 0.0. You have to spend huge effort and time for what lvl4 agent runners get for free in 1.0 space. You have to mine, haul, build the old way. Mining for mega/zyd? You have to haul it to station 8 jumps away, as opposed to blowing up the Supreme Drone Parasite in Niyabainen, docking and refining for 37439823 zydrine.

Just face it. Risk and Reward is screwed, the Exodus went the wrong way, and EVE turned from a semi-grind into supersafe timesink called EVErgrind.
