ISK for grunts in 0.0 is only an issue because alliance leaders chose to make it an issue.
Despite spending hundreds of billions in upgrading systems for our rank and file pilots to run anoms in they still earn around the same as high sec level 4s but face much greater risks and downtimes. Its not alliance leaders causing this its the game itself. Is this a stealth 'nerf afk cloaking' post?
Apart from the delicious irony, your post is however missing an argument as to why those rank and file pilots should earn more.
They did PvP in 0.0 so their alliance could rake in ISK, the fact that that ISK is distributed in a way, that they feel the need to do PvE for ISK is not the games fault.
But be sure to tell all those renters about the huge risks and downtime they pay for in 0.0. I'm sure they'd love to skip the rental bill and go back to hi-sec, if only they knew about those facts.

so basically, movement of incursions aside, they're still a **** source of isk in null because of the inherent drawbacks that come with them via system affects? Yay, this account hasn't had its signature banned. or its account, if you're reading this. |

fleets can be difficult to get in to during afternoons/evenings especially on weekends due to the volume of players, I've had most success joining directly after DT. you don't have to have pimped ships and skills. I have average skills and my ship is entirely t2 except the gyros, and the prop mod, and I was getting invites consistently. there are breaks quite regularly, tower bashing in a... erm, TCRCs, i think. is basically a guaranteed bio break. Also if you need to take a break, nobody is forcing you to stay. Fleets are quite fluid with people dropping and joining constantly throughout the day.

Fun fact: The Revenant used to have a higher base jump range than the other supercarriers, which led to a scramble of people doing lowsec incursions (lowsec is the only place where the BPC can drop) but since it was nerfed the ship is no longer anything but a novelty.

Yes it is. There is nothing we can do to get the rewards to be higher than in high sec all while facing much more risk.

No they are not. Runaway inflation is very bad and is why incursions were nerfed. CCP cannot give away more reward in null, the only way of dealing with this imbalance is to nerf high sec income to the same degree that null has been nerfed over the years. .
Oh yes they (CCP) are ..
Dude you can nerf hisec as much as you can, take inursions an L4s completely from hisec... i dont care.. i have my own isk opportunities in null, low and in Jita..

We saw the price of everything double in the span of less than a year until CCP nerfed the flow of isk into the game. CCP are right in not flooding more isk into the system. Nerfing high sec income is not an attempt to force the people who have no interest in null into going there its so that the people who do want to live in null have a good reason to do so.

No thats just good practice. Every player should be welcomed into null and rewarded for taking on the extra risk. I find it rather disgusting that you think a group of players (in this case the vast bulk of people) should be relegated to just one area of space and have nowhere else to go to find better reward for greater risks, especially in the empire that they are helping to build.

Maybe it's just that your empire is overgrowded. In my mind it makes perfectly sense that when some entity have too many members there may not be enough income sources for everybody.
But I admit that I lack knowledge of this game (and it's players) so I don't know if that would be good or bad for the game.
I would like to think that situation like that would stir things up, but probably it would not.

You see? you realy dont read my posts and proposals i have written in previous posts. my proposal is about good rewards in various regions (reason to fight for), but you would need to do it as a group of players (not entire coalition and vast bulk of people, just group of players), not as solo pilots..

Why do you think that my proposal of buffing sovnull would be just isk injections?. Im all for that that missions, pve, incursions should be rewarded only by LPs or some special loot, like lowsec clone soldiers tags. So it would has autoregulation (more ppl will do that, less income for them etc). Again, read my posts from earlier. GÇ£If reality can destroy the dream, why shouldnt the dream destroy reality?GÇ¥ |

Not everyone can fly in a gang. What do they do when its quiet? or when there are not enough people to form a group? Or when the bulk of people are on a war deployment? Are these people just expected to sit around and twiddle their thumbs until a group forms or just go back to empire because their preferred pve playstyle is just not as viable in null as in high sec?
People should not be left out because they enjoy solo pve content.

Or we can save a huge amount of Dev time simply by nerfing high sec isk income to the same degree that null has seen and free them up to work on other much needed jobs like null industry, teircide and sov mechanics. Join Bat Country today and defend the Glorious Socialist Dictatorship |

You inderstand that 90-100 is the MAX you will ever pull in an hour with one account running anoms? That is a 30mil ticks and you need to get rather fancy to accomplish that.
You can go exploring for rated sites, better have a carrier, because the escalations tend to run over multiple region(s) and I mean like 3 region spans.

Where did he say "only"?
What he's saying (what i've been saying" is that it's just totally stupid to be able to make the same or better combat pve isk in high sec as you can in high sec while protected by CONCORD. It fly's completely in the face of the idea of "risk v reward".
As I type this I am on two alts dual boxing Sisters of EVE lvl 4 missions in high sec. And before anyone claims it's just a "gold rush", I'm not makign my isk off of the new ships, but rather core and combat probes and virtue implants, the same as I have been for the last few years.
So rather than this machariel and tengu being in null sec doing anoms and plexes and being in actual risk (which in turn would provide a target/content for players out hunting in null thus driving the EVE online economy), im in high sec at no risk (no risk because the fits on my mach and tengu 'combined' total 300 mil, you don't need to be blinging to make super isk from missions).
I prefer null, and sometimes I do null PVE because I get bored making 150+ mil per hour in empire or chaining faction warfare's laughable "lvl4" missions in a caracal for 400 mil an hour (http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?t=65348%27).
Why should players who prefer null PVE and are willing to take the risk to get the isk and the fun (while contributing positivly to the EVE Online economy by spurring on consumption) be punished for it? Why should I have to choose between "take my ships to null and get chased around, maybe killed" and "just make isk in safety for the plexes i need to keep 4 accounts active"?
