So wait - if you remove bounties, where do you suppose ISK comes from after that? Yes I'm sure some people have enough ISK to keep things running for awhile. So do you propose we remove ISK sinks as well? Because currently, clone upgrades, insurances, numerous taxes and bills eat up plenty of ISK from the economy. Eventually we would run out. |

Even in the best (worst?) case scenario where missions inject 600bn, the total elimination of that ISK injection would still leave a net influx of 400bn a day.
Currently (or as current as it gets), faucets inject 2 trillion ISK daily; sinks remove 1 trillion ISK. The flow could be cut down massively and still ensure growth. The sinks could be doubled or the faucets halved before the curve would start to point downwards.

If you mean "solo" as "you + a couple dozen alts," then maybe, yes, but C5s are not normally soloable content.
You sound even more ignorant than those nullsec cunts who tried to nerf WH mineral output because they thought its sheer volume was a threat to nullsec a year or so ago.

This is a bit of an exaggeration, of course (2,500 w-space systems, of which 500 are C5s, for roughly 45k characters), but the point was one of lack of competition and <20 characters per system does indeed indicate something to that effect.

It's strongly implied in how he says it.
Where and how old are the figures that say ISK 200bn/d? There can't possibly be that much "blue loot" (the only thing out of WH that creates ISK --all else just redistributes it, unless NPCs have also started buying those guaranteed melted nanoribbon drops? It's been a while since I've been in w-space, granted.)

Again, it's implied strongly.
Even if literally everyone could have their own C5, then they couldn't do much of anything with it, except maybe PI, a lot of which would go to fuelling their POS'. High-end w-space PvE (C4+) content is not solo-able, fullstop/end-of, and w-space life in general is far from risk-free.

Okay, A. the proposed changes are completely stupid. It will just make all lp items worthless.
And 2. inflation the way it is hasn't really been due to mission runners. Inflation has been relatively small up until incursions were introduced and wormholes, ect. have become more popular. Missions used to make a lot more isk than they do now, for years people ran missions and isk worth was fine. only until the last two years and really last year did this change. Did everyone all of a sudden start doing missions? No! Seriously, think about it. Missions aren't the problem. actually some things are cheaper now. Plex prices are through the roof, but lots of other items are cheaper. anyway you nerf missions more people will just go rat in null or something. It's just as easy, if not easier than running missions and makes the same. or they'll leave eve and if all the high-sec people left eve, ccp might go bankrupt. sooo suck it up. |

I think we need to start petitioning CCP to screw up null and low sec. Those plexes in null definitely need nerfing for sure, as well as mining and all other possible null sec "isk faucets". Let's get on this, guys. |

I get ~100k-~300k ISK per L3 mission; an empty Blackbird hull costs 4m ISK. Good fittings cost more, and of course missions are tedious enough that it's hard to make yourself do the 20 in a row you need for the hull alone.
In short, missions need to be interesting before you should consider nerfing them. If they're nerfed and boring, nobody will run them. See the OP is really not suggesting nerfing missions, if anything it may be a bit of a buff. Jace you hit the nail on the head, your isk buys less than it did 24 or even 12 months ago, and that is due to inflation. Every time somebody runs a mission they are rewarded with fresh isk injected into the economy. This means that every single time somebody besides you runs a mission the isk you have in your wallet becomes worth less. As more isk comes into the game, the buying power of the isk you have drops. If missions rewards were changed to not be worth less, but to be paid out with mostly items as opposed to new isk, it would benefit the mission runner (and every one else in New Eden). You would be getting the same amount of isk (after selling LP items), but your isk would have much better purchasing power allowing you to by more ships for the same amount of isk. Although I do think this is a pretty good idea, IMO wormholes are a more pressing matter. They are massive massive isk faucets, and due to the sheer number of wormholes there are pretty risk free. There is no competition with WHs because there are so many, pretty much every pilot in EVE could have their own solo C5.

LOL. WH risk free? Tell that to the gangs which try to catch me every time I go into a WH. You make plenty of isk but it's not 'pretty risk free'.
No competition? Tell that to the 2-3 others which usually show up while I'm in the WH. If only I could run them by myself with no others around.
Own solo c5? You know you can't solo C5, right?
Your WH discussion is complete and utter hyperbole. Exaggerations made up to try to prove your incorrect point. Let's just let this discussion stay on missions. I suspect your WH experiences are tales told to you by others in your corporation who have never been in WH themselves... I just don't understand null sec players.

Probably some accuracy in that statement. If Hi-sec is such a faucet with no risk, wouldn't the guys complaining go to where the easy isk is? Surely they like easy isk? ;)
I prefer CCP leave it the f*ck alone (LITFA). If they make any changes, perhaps a very small reduction in isk but not much. Since there are supposedly so many mission runners, a small change goes a long, long way.
I don't think we need to go the other way and do any harm to null/low sex. Again, I prefer LITFA. Some of the fubar of null is a result of the actions of the players. Let them fix what they messed up... I just don't understand null sec players.

Just another nerf hi-sec thread in disguise. That is what was underlined and bolded.
Never said hi-sec wasn't packed. I was suggesting they adapt. Since you can't make any isk in null sec, might as well go to hi-sec where the isk is put into your wallet for you. ;) I just don't understand null sec players.

Why would someone be in a wormhole system at all if not to do at least some of the content? It takes real effort, and more to the point real risk --including the disfavour of the good ole' Random Number Generator God-- to really profit off a wormhole (Blue Loot may be guaranteed, but melted nanoribbons and higher-class Radar and Mag. sites (also RNG) are where the big money is from Sleepers. That's all player-to-player traded.))

lol, that would make you both wrong then. And i'm not a null sec player, I play EVE (12 toons on 4 accounts, spread all over), not just a part of it like many of you choose to (which is your right, just sayin).
As in real life politics, it's easier to demonize the other side, to imagine it's evil (those fascists just want to control my "playstyle"), that it is to address the other sides actual concerns and acknowledge that while you might not agree, the other side has a point and a right to be different.
i know there is a whole thread about it because i just posted in it, but statement like the above quoted one are a big reason why discussion on Gd are generally crap. People post emotionally rather than rationally, and are more interested in scoring cheap, non-existant forum points (lol) than learning from their fellow players about differing points of view.
