As for getting ganked by pvp'rs... you need to choose the right space, been out in null, in many areas since I made this post and I think you'll find no killmails on me because I haven't died once.
If I go to an area that has people that like to camp, like Branch, they're a little overly protective of their plexes, I go somewhere else. Hey, good for you if you're raking it in! I didn't even see what you were claiming your isk/hr was, or even if you made any such claims. I was just pointing out that a lot of incursion runners and null plexers like to make claims of X isk/hr when that figure is impossibly optimistic and doesn't factor in time spent traveling, hiding from pirates, running plexes with dud drops. The upside to L4s is that when I say I make X isk/hr, I make X isk/hr. Fair enough. Well I make enough to fund my 10 accounts and have billions left over for bling fits. I would say I make about 20 billion a month. That's based on an average 400 million x 2 or 3 sites per day + I'm terribly addicted and usually spend all my weekends plexing / relic hunting etc. The logistics is pretty much zero. I'll stay out in null for a week or two, store my loot in giant secures. Once I get enough loot I find a wormhole with a high sec entrance and covert ops it back to high. That usually takes 30 minutes or so since as you plex you save X7 wormholes so you always have one or two available for high sec runs. Initially I was getting camped in but I decided to stay logged in 23/7 so anyone that camps me will usually find themselves extremely bored and give up. Now I have my SB wing with probe launchers, I can stick characters in an entire constellation, use ISBoxer to show all the scanners and locals on one client so I know instantly if a site spawns in any of those systems, can also see hostiles before they get close to my plexing system and if they do try to hunt me I bomb them :) People don't like 80k bomb damage OO
Wait wait, let me get this straight. So now we're at 400mil per hour with 10 accounts logged in 23/7? So 40 mil per hour per account after having spent all day checking an entire constellation for new sigs? At least you're a little ahead of a high sec mining isboxer fleet. But wait, you're only counting the time or running the plex, not the time you spend staring at 10 screens doing nothing. At least the retriever fleet would keep sucking up rocks non stop.
How do you not realize how irrelevant what your doing is?
When we speak of an imbalance, we're not talking about a single multiboxing plexer camping an entire constellation downtime to downtime. Most gamers log in a couple hours a night, a few nights a week and have nowhere near the capacity for something like that.
We are speaking of the capacity of an entire region to support several thousand players who live there, throughout the month/day/time zone/systems. Meanwhile a single L4 agent can supply similar and safe income levels to several thousand people - simultaneously 23.5/7 out of a single station.
Just like how a single high sec system has more production slots than an entire null region.
If you want to compare your income to something, first stop using multiple accounts (or split the income accordingly). Then start comparing your numbers per character to something remotely relevant, like the income of a Tengu running 4/10 pre-Odyssey.
