The npcs are more well rounded than before, i think this is a good improvement and it shouldnt be changed.
if by well rounded you mean harder..... fair enough

Personally i feel they are far harder then pre-patch the bounties make it worthwhile but now theres not so much loot to refine and i see no increase in good items dropping.

Probably just good luck but ive had 3 arbalest cruise launchers drop today, add their value (15mill per launcher) to the bouties and ive made over 60mill NPCing this afternoon, , and thats only 2 jumps into 0.0.
Setup
Apoc, 7 megapulse, 100mn AB, 3x cap recharge, 2x Large rep, 3x hardeners, 2x cap power relays - 5 med drones
*all Tech2 apart from cap power relays
NO spawn came close to causing me any concern.
I LOVE the new NPCs

I think it is OK to encourage more ppl to go NPCing. Besides, I dont see mining to be hard, so I guess NPCing should be easy as well unless it is a mission thingy. Not everyone can NPC easily in 0.0 without a BS. 
Hell, I can take on dual BS spawns in my uber Caracal, it's not easy/fast and it shouldn't be, it's just right.

Harder? what u lot smoking?
If that means they take longer to kill..your right. But they pose ZERO threat atm, I can tank the ugliest `normal` spawn out there (3x 1.85mil and 3 BC`s) with 1 large rep..and still not even have to look at my armor once. Before I often had to flip on the 2nd one to keep up with their damage (2x 1.5mil and 6 cruisers). Then theres the fact that almost none of them warpscramble you, so even if you run into a officer spawn for instance..you can just hightail it outta there.
Anyway..if this means more ppl in 0.0, I guess I`m somewhat gonna enjoy the targetrich environtment.

How about just add a third damage type to guristas, serpentis and blood raiders. Then you can up the loot a little bit.
Resistance tanks are too easy for npcing at the moment, though nerfing them would be bad for pvp.
We also need a couple higher tracking, lower hp npc battleships and cruisers to mix it up.

I think to restore the balance all that is needed is to put back the web/scramble inty spawns.
At least 20% of the BS spawns should have inty support. 20% is rather little.. right now it's like 3% of bs spawns having inty support.
Having NPC BS do more damage would be nice also, but for sake of the noob carebears, I'm willing to settle only for a bit more intys

I'm happy NPC'ing is more lucrative now, it's a means to make isk. When I want a challenge I pvp, and that's the way it should be.

not sure if anyone else pointed this out but 0.0 belt hunting is possible in a thorax now, easy as. I personally use an Enyo and I don't think I've had to use my armor repairer once. Pre RMR I was being webbed and scrambled by multiple intys at once which made it a real headache (and more like pvp).
Whilst I love ratting now, it's a bit of a crime that it can be done in such cheap ships now (cruisers).

NPCing is WAY easier now, takes a little longer to kill em but the money and better loot makes up for it,
Ive personaly made 100 mill in just over a day hunting blood BS in my zealot, warp in tank every thing, if ya get webbed by the very rare elite frigs pop em and just kill the BS.

Let me put it this way: I want about 20% of NPC spawns to be designed for "very powerful players" or "group hunting".
Right now, the only NPC spawns the qualify are the very rare commander spawns and even more rare officer spawns.
Right now, if you are a high skilled player with good battleship/HAC, there is no challenge whatsoever. It's just a mindless grind. What if there were some spawns where you actually had to sweat a little? Is the idea of "this spawn is too hard for me, I should try look for another one" too revolutionary for your thick skulls? heh
Or you'll just keep at it, die to a hard spawn, then complain that NPC hunting is too hard?
Some NPCs should be hard. And hard NPCs should happen way more often than commander and officer spawns.
Lets take advantage of the negative system security ratings. -1.0 should have good chances of spawning very hard spawns, that are actually difficult to solo for high skill players.

S!
I have been NOS'ed, webbed and scrambled by Blood Raider NPCs while fighting them, so they use the equipment. Loot is varying in quality though. Harder or easier, hard to tell as I am a newbie and use team to engage.

Agree facelifter .
Maybe more warpscrmbling inties or make it random to some cruisers /bs warpscramble and webifie?
TOugh the last suggestion would make npcing hell:)

I like the new NPCs.. but I agree, that maybe the close range cruisers should web and scramble too.
But all in all I like it...
Nothing like being jammed by guristas when you are already in low armor :)))

I've hunted serpentis NPC in the last days.. they have more hps/resistances, but they hit like wusses. The rewards are nice, but NPCing is close to being as exciting as mining at the moment...

I have NPCed for at least 5 hours since the RMR patch and I can tell with absolute certainty: killing NPC became significantly easier.
The main reason for this is lack of web/scramble NPC intys. In all 5 hours of NPCing in 0.0, I think I encountered web/scramble inty only once!
NPCs have been improved in terms of reward, but why were they made easier? They should have gotten harder if anything.
I think spawns should be adjusted to have web/scrambler intys much more often.
What on earth...erh...space, are you doing  ! Be quiet you ******. We like the changes to rats like its now. Dont tell the Dev`s anything, or give them any fishy ideas! I`m getting rich down here 
And they call me slow.... hey! Thats an insult! |

where are you guys ratting? guristas do the most scrambling/webbing, come up to tenal if you dont believe me 
i've been ratting gurista's in 0.0 all sunday and monday, and the only thing that happened to me EW wise was that they broke my lock a few times...
but i haven't found any of the nasty spawns yet, biggest one i got was 2x 950k ravens and 3x ~250k feroxes
